Chapter 269: Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Two hours later, Frank and Drake appeared at Theo’s doorstep, covered in mud.

When Theo, who had a strong case of OCD, saw two people, he stepped back in disgust. “Why are they so dirty?”

Drake was afraid that Theo’s actions would offend Thea, so he quickly spoke up and reminded Theo, “Sir, Ms. Thea is in the car.

She has also brought you a lot of fresh agricultural and sideline products.”

Theo instantly got scared. He glared fiercely at Drake and said, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”

Drake complained with a grievance, “As soon as he saw me, he started by saying that I was dirty.”

Theo glared at him and said, “You still dare to speak... Shut up immediately.”

Drake shut his mouth sullenly.

Theo walked briskly towards the parking lot.

This distance, in total, was only about ten meters. However, Theo felt that he walked this path exceptionally difficult.

He was extremely nervous at this moment.

He and Thea hadn’t seen each other for two years. Two years ago, after his reckless confession to Thea, he embarked on a 1538 Chapter 270 journey to a foreign country. Now their reunion feels like the continuation of that confession.

Would Thea accept him or reject him after she found out that he liked her?

Theo walked nervously towards the car and slowly reached out his hand to open the door.

Theo couldn’t help but smile as the rhythmic sound of even breathing filled the air, and the peaceful sleeping face looked just like a baby’s.

He got in the car and reached out his hand to hold Thea’s hand.

He thought, regardless of whether Thea had any romantic feelings for him or not, he was a man and he had to take the initiative to express his own attitude.

When Thea woke up, she saw Theo looking adorable.

“Theodore,” she called out softly.

A surge of warmth flowed through Theo’s heart as he worried for a full two years, imagining countless scenes where Thea and he were complete strangers. Every time he thought about it, he regretted his recklessness.

Now Thea was right in front of him, out to him with the same trust and warmth. It was as if their previous bond had never been broken.

All his worries, in the end, were nothing but a fuss over nothing.

“Thea,” he responded gently.

15:38 Chapter 270 289 Thea’s gaze traced his face and quickly noticed his changes. “Theodore, you seem to have lost weight. Your demeanor has also changed. It seems like you have finally grown up...”

At this time, Theo’s cheeks became thinner, his features became more defined, and his jawline became tighter. He exuded a cold and proud temperament, resembling the prince that Thea had seen in her past life.

Theo stepped out, his magnetic voice oozing with tenderness. “Thea, it’s been two years since we last met, did you miss me?”

Thea was taken aback by his suddenness, and she looked stunned, with a rather innocent expression. “How could I not think about it?”

Theo smiled contentedly.

He grabbed her hand and said, “I have been extremely busy these past two years. Moreover, if I were to recklessly return to the Capital, it would surely attract their attention, and my actions would not be as free. So, have been desperately restraining my longing for you. These past two years have felt as long as twenty years to me. Thea, I truly miss you, I really do.”

Thea directly exposed his “conspiracy” and said, “You have people constantly monitoring my life. You should know my daily routine inside out. Why do you have to suffer from lovesickness?”

Theo’s ears instantly turned red and bled.

His expression was a bit awkward. “So you knew all along.”

Thea said, “Ava, her acting skills were terrible. You should find 1538 someone else.”

Theo said, “I couldn’t trust anyone else.”

The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

Theo felt that he had to do something else to alleviate the awkwardness.

He pushed open the car door and walked out of the car.

Then the gentleman helped Thea out of the car. Trying to make conversation, he said, “They said you have planted a large orchard in the countryside, and the fruits and vegetables are growing very well. I would like to find some time to go sightseeing.”

Thea said, “With your severe germophobia, I’m afraid you won’t be able to adapt to the countryside.”

Theo was filled with anxiety. Thea lived in the countryside, so if he couldn’t overcome his mysophobia, wouldn’t he significantly reduce the times he would meet Thea in the future?

Theo said, “My OCD is cured.”

No matter what, he could not let his OCD hinder him from meeting Thea.

Thea was somewhat surprised, “Really?”

Theo nodded firmly, “Hmm.”

Thea handed him a basket of potatoes and said, “Then you take them home.”

1538 Chapter 270 Theo saw the mud on the potatoes and immediately felt a sense of discomfort. However, he put on a cheerful expression and said, “They look very cute.”

Thea couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him desperately trying to endure the potatoes. “Theodore, you are even cuter than them.”

Theo knew that Thea had seen through his thoughts.

He said in frustration, “Sister, believe me. I was able to overcome my OCD...”

Thea kindly advised, “Why do you have to be so persistent in overcoming your OCD?”

Theo exclaimed, “If I couldn’t overcome this damn OCD, how could I stay with you in the future?”

Staying together?

Thea’s mind was blank.

The cheeks instantly warmed up.

She snatched the potato from Theo’s hand and walked quickly ahead with her head down.

Theo saw that she ignored him. He felt very disappointed in his heart.

He followed along with a cold and handsome face.

Frank and Drake saw Theo’s poker face and their hearts skipped. a beat. After all, their boss only showed this expression when he was extremely unhappy.

15.38 M Chapter 270 The two of them instantly mistook it as Thea and Theo reporting on them. The two of them, in a panic, fell to their knees with a thud and pleaded for mercy in front of Theo, saying, “Sir, we were wrong. Please punish us.”

As soon as Theo saw this posture, he knew that these two people had caused trouble without telling him. So he calmly interrogated, “Do you know you made a mistake?”

“I knew, I knew.”

“Don’t you know you should write a self–criticism letter when you realize you made a mistake?”

Frank immediately blurted out a professional–level critique.

or leader: Since following you, Frank has always been obedient, striving to improve, and wholeheartedly sharing the tasks with you. However, nobody is perfect, and even gold is not pure. I, being ignorant, mistook the visitor Ms. Thea for an ordinary peasant woman during your illness. I treated her with contempt and rudely drove her away.”

When Frank mentioned this, he secretly glanced at Theo’s expression. He noticed that Theo’s face became darker and more serious, and he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

“Sir, I promise to sincerely reform my ways and in the future, respect Ms. Thea and take care of her. I will definitely follow in your footsteps, sir.”

Drake, the clever one, said, “Little one... what you wanted to say, Frank has already said on behalf of you.”

Theo gritted his teeth, trembling with anger, “So you two were 15.38 Chapter 270 secretly looking down on Thea behind my back?”
