Chapter 1215

However, no one answered the call. I called two more times, but it was the same.

I sent him a text and got no reply.

Half an hour later, I still could not reach Theo. Left with no choice, I could only call Keith.

The call was quickly connected.

"Are you with Theo?" I asked with a frown.

Keith replied, "Mr. Grant is still having a meeting, Mrs. Grant. I'll ask him to call you back when he’s

done."

"Okay."

I hung up the phone. Looking at the dishes on the table that were already cold, I could not help but

sigh.

More than an hour later, Theo had yet to return my call. I could hardly sit still anymore, so I picked

up my phone again to call him.

I was just about to dial the number when the sound of a car engine was heard out in the yard.

I quickly got up and walked outside with a smile.

However, when I got to the villa’s entrance, the person I saw was Keith, not Theo.

I looked over his shoulder but did not see Theo, so I asked curiously, "Theo didn't come back,

Keith?”

Keith shook his head and handed me the lunch box in his hand. "Mr. Grant has a dinner to attend

tonight and can't join you for dinner, Mrs. Grant. He told me to buy you this. It has a very authentic

taste. Try

I opened the bag and took a look. It was probably seafood.

I looked at Keith and asked with a frown," Roughly what time will he be back?"

Keith shook his head slightly. "I'm not so sure of it myself. Do you want to have something to eat

first?”

“Okay, then."

I went to the kitchen to look for a plate and put the seafood on the plate. I then took it to the dining

area to eat.

Keith was in a hurry to go back. I did not see him out either.

After eating, I went back to the room to take a shower and went to the study.

After ten minutes or so, there was the sound of a car engine outside. I got up to

leave the study.

Keith had just left, so this would not be Theo. In that case, Shannon and Jordan must have come

home.

Sure enough, I saw Jordan's car parked in the yard next door.

The two got out of the car and saw me standing on the balcony. Shannon asked,' Have you had

dinner?"

I nodded. "Just had it."

Shannon chuckled. "I bought some desserts on my way back. I'll go look for you after I get

changed."

"Sure."

Soon, Shannon rang the doorbell, and I went downstairs to get the door.

She was wearing a set of Doraemon cotton pajamas, looking very warm.

"Are you that afraid of the cold?" I asked with a smile.

"Look at yourself." Shannon tugged the jacket I was wearing. "You've put on more layers than me.”

I smiled and took the dessert box from her hand. "Which dessert shop is this from?"

"I forgot the name. Jordan brought me there. He said it’s a new dessert shop with good reviews."

She urged me, saying," Quickly try it out and let me know if it’s good. If it’s good, I’ll buy some more

tomorrow."

I nodded and opened the dessert box to take a bite.

It was pretty good indeed, so I nodded with a smile. "It’s good. Why don't you try it?"

Ill pass.” Shannon touched her belly." Jordan and I went to have ho pot and we ordered too much.

My stomach is about to explode. I can't eat any more food. Besides, it's easy to gain weight eating

desserts at night."
