Chapter 368 Theo began discussing business matters with Mason once he sat down. I grew sleepy from listening to their discussion and stood up to walk into the kitchen.
When Miss Woods sawwalking in, she hurriedly said, "Young Mistress, you should get out quickly. Don't let the smells from here all cling to you." "It's alright," I said as I walked over to her and picked up a bunch of spinach. "Miss Woods, I'm afraid that Old Madam Grant's wish will never ctrue." That sentence was enough to make tears well up in Miss Woods' eyes and make the grip on her knife falter slightly. Although she did not know what had happened, she knew enough to know that my child with Theo was gone.
Miss Woods sniffled and plastered a smile onto her face as she raised her head and said, "You've worked hard all these years, and I'm sure Old Madam Grant has seen your efforts from Heaven. She won't blyou." "Yeah," I replied quietly, not saying anything else.

Theo waved at me, and I walked over to sit down beside him as I asked lightly, "What's up?" "Tell us where you don't feel well so Mason can take a look there," Theo said as he smiled.
I felt that he was just bored. "There aren't any machines here. He wouldn't be able to determine what illness I had, even if I let him know that." That was enough to make Theo to feel like his concern was unnecessary. The expression on his face turned ugly. Mason rolled his eyes at him and sighed softly before saying, "She's right. You'll have to take her to the hospital for a checkup when you have the tone day." Seeing how the expression on Theo's face had just grown even uglier, I stood and said lightly, "Miss Woods has prepared supper. Would you guys like to join?" Mason had cover so late at night because he wanted to drop by and deliver sdocuments to Theo. He had been busy since the afternoon and had not had any tto eat dinner. He only realized how hungry he was when he smelt the aroma of the prepared dishes. Thus, he had no problem staying for supper.
Theo walked over slowly once Mason and I had sat down in the dining room.
"Eat up." The look on his face was much gentler now.
I felt like he had becquite good at regulating his emotions now. Perhaps I had ingrained that ability into him since he probably would have already died from an aneurysm I caused if he had not learned how to do that.
We ate in silence, and Mason askedabout Cecilia when Theo left halfway through supper to answer a call.
I picked up a napkin to wipe my mouth and smiled a half-smile as I asked, "Why are you bringing her up all of a sudden?" "I can't get in touch with her." Mason sounded a little panicked as he said that. When he realized that, he coughed lightly and said, in an attempt to cover up, "I have something I need to talk to her about." Pursing my lips, I remained silent for a long while before saying, "I haven't been able to get in touch with her lately either."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ah..." Mason lowered his eyes, a slightly disappointed expression on his face. However, he soon got his emotions back under control and said, "Please remember to letknow if she gets in touch with you." I nodded in agreement.
Theo saw Mason off when we finished supper, and he returned just as I was lying back down on the bed in our bedroom. "Are you full?" "Yes," I said coldly.
Theo sat on the bed and grabbed my hand. "How long will you be staying at Zimmer Corporations?" I raised an eyebrow. "Forever."
"Return to the family company if you want to work," Theo saidcommandingly.What do you think you're doing, working for someone else?" X
