Chapter 1186 Theodore's Estrangement

Oscar agreed to let Theodore turn himself in. First, Theodore volunteered to do so. Second, if Oscar forced him to stay, Theodore would be even more uneasy. Therefore, it was best for Theodore to turn himself in and admit his mistake. He hoped the court would give him a lighter sentence. However, this meant that he could no longer work with Oscar anymore. With this blemish on his record, it would be difficult for him to return to his previous position even after several years had passed. It was a pity for Oscar because he knew that Theodore took his job seriously and worked tirelessly when needed. When Theodore returned home later that night at 3 AM, he sat in the garage smoking cigarettes before finally going upstairs. He tried not to wake up Little Bunny, who slept on the couch curled up into a ball without any blankets covering her body.

He felt uneasy about some people who might never experience true love in their lifetime; he believed he belonged amongst those people.

He walked towards her.

"Little Bunny," he said in an indifferent voice.

She frowned. The last second, she was still dreaming about going out with Nicholas and Theodore at an amusement park. She had been worried since she last spoke harshly towards Nicholas and wanted desperately make amends but couldn't replace the right opportunity until now. She rubbed her eyes trying hard not fall back asleep again while looking at him.

"Theodore?"

"How come you're sleeping here again?"

"I've been waiting for you, but don't know how I fell asleep. Did you have dinner?"

"Do you know what time it is?" asked Theodore coldl.

Little Bunny picked up her phone, only to replace it was already 3 AM. She wondered why he came back so late tonight.

"Don't wait for me next time."

"Okay." She replied with a smile. Then she said, "I'll go run a bath for you."

Then she left the couch and headed for the bedroom. Theodore stared at her back as she walked away, lost in thoughts.

After a while, she came out and said, "Theodore, it's ready."

Theodore pursed his lips and walked into the room slowly. After the shower, Little Bunny brought a cup of soup and said, "I thought you would drink, so I made the soup for you. It helps to sober up and nourish the skin. Drink it now."

Theodore took it over and looked at the crystal clear soup in the cup.

He took a sip and asked, "Little Bunny, do you like me?"

She suddenly froze. Theodore rarely asked her like this as if he had been deliberately evading it. Little Bunny didn't know how to answer. She had never thought about it, since she thought that living with Theodore was not bad either. However, sometimes when it was time to finish her work, she felt a bit anxious to come back.

"I'm just asking, you don't have to answer." Theodore finished drinking the soup. Little Bunny didn't say much either, thinking that Theodore might just casually ask it.

When she washed the dishes and returned to the bed, Theodore had already laid down. She lay down close to him naturally, and shrank into his embrace to sleep. But as she approached Theodore, he suddenly turned over and turned his back to her.

"Good night." He said in a hazy voice, which meant she shouldn't disturb him to sleep. And the act of turning her back towards her was clearly telling her not to approach him.

Little Bunny felt inexplicably lost in her heart. Theodore used to hold her in his arms. Sometimes she wasn't used to it and wanted to push him away, but Theodore would hold her even tighter as if he was afraid that she might suddenly run away.

But she didn't allow herself to think too much at this point. She thought he was tired from coming back so late tonight. She lay down by Theodore's side and closed her eyes to sleep.

In a moment, there was the even breathing sound of Little Bunny.

Theodore felt that she was asleep before turning over and looking at her sleeping face.

He wouldn't be able to see her again, would he?

He couldn't look at her closely anymore.

Theodore reached out and intended to touch her cheek. But at the moment of approaching, his hand withdrew again. He always felt that he didn't deserve to be close to her.

The next morning, Little Bunny sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes and looking around the empty room. She wondered where Theodore had gone so early in the morning.

She got out of bed and went to look for him in the house. He was not home. There was no response as she called him either.

"what's wrong with Theodore? He's been weird since last night." She thought to herself. But then she thought it was probably because he had been too busy these days so she didn't think too much. It was evening.

Little Bunny finished her work late.

There weren't many events recently, but since she wanted to make up for Nicholas and go to the amusement park with him, she asked the agent to concentrate her work and make time for her to return to Kensbury. Tonight, she planned to tell Theodore and asked when he would be available.

However, it was already 10 PM when she returned home, and Theodore still didn't come back.

Was he so busy?

She called him and found that his phone had been turned off.

What had he been busy with these days?

Some confidential tasks?

She couldn't contact Theodore. So she decided to wait for him on the sofa like last night, but suddenly remembered that Theodore seemed unhappy watching her sleep on the sofa like that, so she went to bed to sleep.

Due to the heavy workload all day, she fell asleep soon.

When she woke up, Theodore wasn't there.

He didn't come back all night.

Little Bunny called Theodore again only for a strange woman's voice answering, "Hello?"

The woman's voice sounded a bit coquettish over the phone line. Little Bunny quickly hung up the phone, thinking that she had dialled the wrong number.

She put down her phone and told herself not think too much into things. Theodore must be very busy doing important confidential things which was why he hadn't returned yet.

If he really got tired of their relationship or anything else related between them, he could always tell her directly without having any fear of getting caught. He knew as long as he brought it up, she wouldn't no longer bother him. Therefore, there was no need to keep it from her.

As long as Theodore didn't say anything about what was happening behind closed doors, she would believe in him.

With such self-reassurance from herself, Little Bunny relaxed a bit and continued doing what needed done today.

At a hotel, Theodore stood smoking by floor-to-ceiling windows.

A woman handed over his phone and said coyly, "I just spoke out and she hung up."
