Chapter 1172 Compromises

Little Bunny's words were ironic to Theodore. So, for Addison, she was willing to sacrifice everything.

Did she not know that this will only anger another man even more?

It would make him do even more cruel things.

"I just feel that Addison is going through all of this because of me, not for anything else." Little Bunny could also sense Theodore's mood and quickly explained. "And when I said I wanted to be with you, it wasn't for Addison. It was because you moved me and I felt like you had changed from before. If Addison's matter was settled, our relationship won't be affected by others. I don't want to carry guilt towards Addison forever. I want to be honest and sincere with you."

Theodore still listened indifferently. He didn't care much if she was sincere or not.

After all, what use was caring?

If Little Bunny didn't like him, he couldn't do anything to change her mind yet. If he thought too much, he would only disgrace himself. Might as well deceive himself like this instead.

"Did Addison tell you he started doing drugs because of you?!"

Little Bunny could hear the sarcasm in his voice.

"Addison wasn't originally like this. I'm not defending him. I'm just looking at him from a fair standpoint." Little Bunny replied calmly.

"I'm not questioning why Addison does drugs, I just wanted to say..." Theodore suddenly paused and looked at her intently. He wanted to say that maybe Addison wasn't as great as she thought he was either. If Addison didn't want her help, then why did he reveal his drug addiction? He knew what consequences it would have on their relationship.

But in her eyes, Addison was a perfect person who couldn't do any wrong. He wouldn't want to ruin her image of him again.

As Theodore paused, Little Bunny's phone suddenly rang,

"It's my agent calling," She glanced at the caller ID

"You can answer it," Theodore said while leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette from his bedside table.

Little Bunny answered the phone and the person on the other end was clearly in a bad mood. They started by saying, "Little Bunny, I told you not to get involved in Addison's business! And now look, you're all over the news. Last night when they went to arrest Addison because someone exposed them, were you happy about that?!"

Little Bunny tightened her hand holding the phone.

She thought nobody knew she went to see Addison except for the men arranged by Laird, and Addison. But, she did tell Addison's agent.

Little Bunny had a vague idea in her mind.

"Do you know what the public is saying about you now? They're saying that you're involved with Addison, that your relationship is very close, and that you might even be using drugs!" The agent became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "I'm going to be driven crazy by you. Damn it, the brand merchants are calling me again. I have to go deal with them first. Little Bunny, please behave today and stop worrying about Addison's affairs. You're not allowed to interfere anymore!"

The agent abruptly hung up the phone.

Little Bunny put down her phone and quickly checked the news. The scene of her going to see Addison last night popped up in the news, which was written in an official tone and only presented the facts. However, the comments were all over the place.

The two most popular comments were as follows:

That she and Addison were in a romantic relationship, which was why she went to visit him in jail; secondly, she also had a drug addiction like Addison and went to jail to prevent him from revealing her drug

use.

The news was trending.

Many people were asking her to come out and make a positive response.

Little Bunny looked at the news and was also a little angry. Unexpectedly, being exploited by Addison's agent in such a way. Now, she was set up. It was obvious that if she didn't handle Addison's matter well, she would also be implicated. If it was handled properly, of course, both of them would be fine.

Theodore took a drag of his cigarette and looked at her flushed face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Little Bunny gritted her teeth and showed the news to Theodore. Theodore looked on, his cold laughter becoming even more severe. Little Bunny used her reputation to save Addison, or perhaps she could sacrifice her body for him like she suddenly came near to Theodore last night.

"Alright, since I shagged her, I should pay her something." Theodore thought to himself.

Since she chose Addison, he would give her what she wanted.

Theodore returned the phone to Little Bunny and got up by lifting the covers directly. Watching him finish his morning routine, change clothes, and leave without telling her anything, Little Bunny didn't know if he was helping her or not. At this moment, she didn't dare to ask and just let Theodore disappear for a day.

That night, she couldn't resist anymore and called Theodore. He answered with a cold tone.

"Theodore, are you coming back tonight?" Little Bunny asked in a gentle voice.

"Are you concerned about me coming back?" Theodore retorted with some sarcasm in his voice.

"I made dinner and I'm waiting for you to come back." Little Bunny said calmly despite sensing his displeasure.

"No need. I still have things to do here." Replied Theodore curtly.

"When will you be back? I'll wait for you for dinner." Insisted Little Bunny firmly.

"Don't wait for me. I'll be late."

"I'll wait until you came back no matter how late." She insisted.

Theodore tightened his grip on the phone. Sometimes he seemed unable to refuse even this kind of kindness from her towards him. He didn't say anything but hung up directly on her.

He returned to his office chair at this moment after dealing with Addison's affairs all day long. It involved public figures and many things were not as simple as he thought even when using his power. He needed a compliant way that could truly get Addison out safely. Moreover, no matter how compliant it was, it was ultimately illegal, which made him feel conflicted inside too.

Theodore lit another cigarette while thinking about these issues when suddenly the door was pushed open by Oscar, who joked around saying, "Still haven't left yet? Why are you suddenly so diligent?"

Theodore shrugged without answering. He kept Addison's affairs from Oscar since it was such an embarrassing thing that he did not want Oscar involved in it at all costs. Oscar was tired enough from managing the entire country. If he was caught showing favouritism in the future, he would be fully responsible for that. Oscar had nothing to do with any of this mess anyway.
