Chapter 710 I did not sleep the whole night. The doorbell rang the next morning. I opened the door, and unsurprisingly, I saw Theo.
Our eyes met. We had not seen each other all night and he already looked a little wretched.
He did not shave when he woke up this morning, and his clothes were probably the sas the ones he wore yesterday.
"Can I cin?" he asked, his voice sounding slightly haggard too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI nodded and made way for him.
He looked atwith a warm gaze. "I'm sorry." I had remained in the sposture the whole night, s o my body felt slightly stiff at the moment. I moved my neck and sat on the bed, saying, "It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." It was Quinn's own intention to cto seeand driveout. This had nothing to do with Theo.
The man grabbed my arm and gavea gentle tug. I was instantly pulled into a tight embrace. "This will not happen again." It sounded like a promise as well as an assurance.
I nodded to indicate that I understood.
I did not sleep all night and my heart was more or less at peace when I leaned on him now.
I was tired and craved the warmth of his body. I closed my eyes and said, "If you're not busy today, can you take a nap with me?" He smiled. "If this is your request, then I'm free the whole day." How could he possibly be free? I saw how busy he had been these days but I wished to be willful for just a little while.
There must be at least a few days in one's life where one lived for oneself.
How great would it be if life could go on calmly and peacefully like that? It would be really great, though I knew that it was not possible.
When I woke up, it was already dark outside. I had slept the entire day.
Theo sat leaning against the head of the bed beside m e, a laptop placed on his lap. Seeing that I had woken up, he put the laptop aside and lowered his head to kiss my forehead. "Did you have a good rest?" I nodded. "I had a sweet dream." "What did you dream of?" "I dreamt of everybody gathering in the small yard in Zenon eating watermelon." I cast my eyes down, my voice growing hoarse. "Everybody was laughing." Theo knew who everybody was.

"I kept the villa for you for when you would cback, but there are many forly, there bad memories for you there. Now that you're back, what do you think about changing to another villa?"
I smiled. "Aren't you worried about having your photos taken by them media saying that you found a new lover and are keeping your mistress in a splendid abode?"
He stroked my waist and rubbed his stubble on my face. "The part about a new lover is false, but a splendid abode is true." 1 I pushed him away and said with a smile, "I'm not going to joke around with you anymore. I'm hungry, let's order takeaway." I went to the bathroom to wash up. When I cout and saw the room attendant in the room, I froze.
Theo walked over. "I changed us to another room."
