Chapter 222

"I'll tell you when we get back." I lowered my voice and took a big step forward to catch up withTheo.

Cecilia did not ask anymore. She came forward as well and touched my belly. "How nice, mygodson has already grown this big. Another three more months and I'm officially becoming agodmother."

I looked up to see her belly. I smiled and said, " Another six months and I'm becoming a mother forboth of our children."

"That's great. By then, we'll be able to take the kids out and breastfeed together." Cecilia walkedarm in arm with me. The smile on her face was overflowing with happiness. Theo was walking infront of us. Although he did not say a word, there was a curve on the corners of his lips. It wasobvious that he was in a good mood too.

Everything was wonderful!

We were excited about the future now. Little did I know, there would be so many accidentshappening in the future that would catch me off guard.

"Didn't you say you were going to be staying in the countryside until you delivered the baby? Whydid you come back so soon?" I was confused, so I asked her.

"Jerome said he's coming back. It's been a long time since I met him. So I came back earlier to waitfor him." Cecilia was smiling when she mentioned Jerome.

It seemed that the fresh air in the countryside was pretty good. Cecilia looked great and seemedhappier.

When Theo was far ahead of us, Cecilia leaned over and spoke softly beside my ear, "It looks likeboth of you are on good terms. Have the problems been solved?"

I smiled bitterly. "No, we chose to bury them. We've been living together peacefully for some timenow, but it won't last long..."

"Why?”

I shrugged and said, "Cindy just came back from Whaldorf today. Theo came to pick her up and raninto me."

"Oh sh*t. That woman keeps lingering around. Hasn’t she found herself wealthy parents? Why didshe come back here? Is she trying to make your life difficult?" Cecilia raised her voice and lookedangry.

I did not say anything. There was a vague sense of unease in my heart. I could not help but think ofJerome. I asked, "Did Jerome mention when he's coming back? The last time we called, he said hewould be back as soon as possible but he didn't tell m e the exact time."

"No. He only said he'll be back after he’s done with his affairs there. He'll probably come back inthese few days." Cecelia shook her head.

We soon reached the parking lot. I saw Theo standing i n front of my car. I asked, "Where's MissReed? Aren’t you sending her back?"

"Keith is sending her back. Give me the key." He reached out to me.

I took the key out of my bag and handed it to him. He kept the suitcases in the trunk, then got intothe car. Looking at us, he said, "Let’s head for lunch. What would you like to eat?"

I looked at the time. It was exactly lunchtime. Cecilia had a long flight, so she should be hungry. Iturned my head and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

She leaned on the back seat and said sluggishly," Anything’s fine. I'll leave the decision to you."Then, she closed her eyes.

"I'm fine with anything too.” I had been losing my appetite lately, so it did not matter what we weregoing to eat.

"What about seafood?" You told me that you were craving it two days ago." Theo turned his head,looked at me, and asked.

"Alright." I nodded my head.

We were silent all the way there. Soon, we returned to the city and went to a high-end seafoodrestaurant.

Theo went to park the car, while Cecilia and I got down at the entrance. We went upstairs lookingfor a table.

After getting out of the car, Cecilia held my arm and spoke in a gossipy tone, "Has Theo beentreating you like this lately?"

I thought for a moment. He had indeed been acting this way lately. I nodded my head.

"That's unbelievable." She shook her head and let out a sigh. "Looking at the both of you, I feel likeyou're an old couple."

"What do you mean?" I lifted my head and looked at her. I could not understand what she meant.

She raised her brows. "You're more like family than a couple in love."

I was speechless, but I had no reason to refute.

We entered the restaurant. Right after we placed our order, Theo came in. He glanced at the menuand ordered seafood risotto. Then, he looked at me and said, "You have a weak stomach. Havesome risotto first."

During this period, I would either have chicken soup o r risotto every day. I was unwilling to eatthose again but I forced myself to take a few bites. Then, I pushed the plate with the remainingrisotto in front of Theo and started eating the other dishes.

He naturally picked up the spoon that I just used.
