I tried to recall and remembered the the asked us out for a meal. He was in a bad mood and insisted on
having Theo drink with him. In the end, both of them got completely wasted. At the time, | thought he and Susan
were only quarreling like ordinary couples, hence I did not ask about the details.
Thinking about Tyler's state at the time, | figured what they were going through might not be as simple as just an
argument.
| frowned slightly and asked, "So you're saying that Tyler is pretending to be anxious not because he wants
someone to help him but purely because he doesn't want to see Susan?" Theo raised his eyebrows and said with
a smile, "Try thinking outside the box a little more."
| stroked my chin. "If Tyler is simply trying to avoid her, then it's even more impossible for him to dive into the
details, let alone say things like not wanting to seek my help. Susan seems to know a lot of details and even
called to ask for my help.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomeone must have said something to her, asking her to seek help from me."
Theo touched my ear, his eyes filled with praises for me. "My wife is the smartest. You're not inferior at all
compared to me."
The corner of my mouth twitched. "Quit complimenting me. | really want to know who approached Susan, and
why did that person ask her to seek help from me?"
Theo did not say a word and merely looked atwith a pair of pitch-black eyes.
Seeing him like this, | guessed aloud, "Don't tellthat Jordan is behind this again?" Theo smiled. "Why
shouldn't | compliment you when you're so smart?"
| thought about it and grabbed my phone to give Tyler a call.
The phone quickly connected, which proved that my speculation was right.
Susan said that his phone could not be reached, but that was only for her.
"What reminded you to givea call, Wanda?"
Tyler sarcastically said, "I thought you' forgotten about your brother."
| covered my forehead, my smile looking a little helpless. "Many things have been going on lately. Susan called
Tyler tutted, probably feeling irritated by now. "Why did she call you? It's not that serious. | don't need anyone's
help. Just forget about it."
| pursed my lips and still asked the question | wanted to, "What's wrong with you and Susan? Did you fight?
Why?"
"What why? It's because of that stupid thing." Tyler was clearly not interested in talking about it. "Do you have
ttonight? Let's have dinner together. We haven't met each other for so long, and I've been alone lately with
no one to talk to. I'm getting annoyed to death."
He had been having many problems lately that he needed to pour out his feelings to someone. As | happened to
be free, | figured it would be good to meet up with him.
"Okay, I'll make a reservation and send the location to your phone."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hanging up the phone, | looked at Theo and said with a smile, "Shall we go out for dinner with Tyler
tonight?"
Theo sneered. "You've promised him, didn't you? Why are you still asking me, then?"
Why was he mad?
Why?
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Theo sighed heavily. "Fine, take it as though we're taking pity on him and
accompanying him to have a meal together."
It suddenly dawned on me.
"You're not jealous, are you?"

"Who's jealous?" Theo exploded.
