Chapter 1173 Guilty

"Are you going to work as usual now?" Oscar refused the cigarette that Theodore offered and asked.

"Do you have something to do?" Theodore asked.

"I plan to go to Kensbury City and take Salem with me." Oscar replied.

"To see Hannah?" Theodore chuckled.

Oscar didn't deny it either.

"Hannah should still be moved by you, right?"

"No," Oscar remembered, feeling a bit helpless. "I've been to Kensbury City two or three times and didn't see her every time. This time, with Salem, maybe there's hope."

"Good luck."

"You should leave work early too." Oscar said. "I saw in the news that Little Bunny had some trouble. If you want to win her back, help her."

"Okay." Theodore nodded.

"I'll go first."

"Bye-bye."

Oscar left.

Theodore felt melancholy again. He always felt like he was doing something wrong now for Oscar's trust in him was so great yet he was doing illegal things behind his back.

But he knew very well that if he didn't help Little Bunny rescue Addison, she would carry guilt towards Addison forever. Finally, Theodore picked up the phone and dialed, "Find someone else to take responsibility and unify their statements. Addison took drugs while not sober due being maliciously framed by someone else."

"Yes sir." The other end received the order but still had doubts, "Sir are you really going to do this?"

"If anything happens I'll take responsibility."

"That's not what I meant, I just feel..."

"Just do it like this for now. Find someone else responsible for it all and arrange everything for them so they keep their mouth shut tight."

"Yes sir."

Theodore hung up the phone with a heavy sigh once again thinking about how many things were done in secret before. But since he walked on a righteous path all these years, he had never used his power illegally until today. He wondered if one day he might really die at Little Bunny's hands. After finishing everything necessary at work, Theodore left the office, thinking about how Little Bunny was waiting for him at home. Despite his bad attitude earlier on, he didn't want her to wait for him too long or even starve herself without him there.

His driving speed was faster than usual as he headed home, only to replace an empty room upon arrival. That made he frustrated. He laughed at himself again. He always took Little Bunny's words seriously. But she was just being perfunctory with him. Their intimacy was just a formality, even when they went to bed together or when she treated him well.

Feeling tired, Theodore lay on the couch and waited for Little Bunny to come back. He didn't know how long he had been waiting until he heard the sound of the door opening. It must be Little Bunny coming back. But Theodore didn't move and kept lying there, feeling someone approaching him. It was a familiar scent. It must be Little Bunny who came closer and carefully covered him with a blanket.

"I'm back," Theodore said as he opened his eyes suddenly, scaring her off guard.

"Did I wake you up?" asked she.

"No, I wasn't sleeping." Replied Theodore as he sat up from the couch.

"When did you coma back?"

"A few minutes ago."

"Did you have dinner?"

"What about you?"

"Not yet." Said she.

Theodore just stared at her.

"My agent called me to record a statement about Addison's incident, which affected many endorsements and brands associated. Hence they needed me to make an official statement quickly before things got worse for their business deals. I thought it would only take half an hour but ended up taking longer than expected because my agent wasn't satisfied with the videos, so I took some time. You said you'll late so I didn't call you again." She explained.

"Um."

"I'll warm up the food." Little Bunny said and and went to the kitchen. She felt a bit embarrassed.

Theodore watched her leave towards the kitchen area while wondering what kind of relationship existed between them. Was there any hope left for their future together? What was going on inside her mind? Was she trying too hard just to please him or something else entirely different altogether?

As Little Bunny heated their meal in silence, she was lost deep in thoughts herself. With that statement earlier today under duress from her agents, she could preserve her reputation. But in doing so, she had to sever ties with Addison. If Theodore didn't help Addison, she would become the ungrateful one. However, she didn't want to ask Theodore anymore. Upon reflection, saving Addison was a violation of regulations and as someone in such a high position like Theodore's he couldn't abuse his power. He had his own concerns and she shouldn't force him.

After thinking about it all day today, she finally understood that owing something to Addison was just something that needed to be done for now. In the future, things would return back to normal between her and Theodore.

Little Bunny finished cooking the food and called out enthusiastically from the kitchen table, "Theodore come eat!"

Theodore got up from the couch and walked over to join her at the table, where everything was already set up nicely with utensils laid out neatly on top of it all.

"I heard you like these food so I learned some recipes online." Said Little Bunny excitedly while placing dishes on top of plates before asking, "Please try them. If they don't taste good, let me know so I can improve."

Theodore simply looked at her, who seemed intent on using food as a way of tempting him.

"Go ahead," urged Little Bunny.

Theodore picked up his fork and took a bite of dry-fried pork, which were crispy outside yet tender inside with an intense flavor from red chili peppers mixed in perfectly throughout each bite making them incredibly satisfying overall. It tasted even better than what most restaurants could offer.

He couldn't reject Little Bunny anyway, especially when he saw how much effort she put into preparing these dishes just for him and the chilli made her eyes tear up.

"I've taken care of Addison's situation." Said he.

Little Bunny froze completely.

"How did you manage that?" asked she.

Theodore chuckled softly before replying, "How else do you think?"

At that moment, Little Bunny felt an inexplicable pain deep within her chest, realizing how much indebtedness she owed towards Theodore.
