Chapter 1233

Theo gently hummed. "You must take care of yourself when I'm not around.

Remember to eat on time, okay?”

"You're so naggy," I said with a chuckle.

Theo fell silent for a few seconds before saying with an aggrieved tone, "I really miss you right now, Wanda. I don't have any energy in me when

you're not by my side.”

Those words made me smile.

"I really miss you too."

Feelings needed to be reciprocated.

His low chuckle entered my ear. The sun in September seemed brighter now.

Keith had long been waiting for me at the door. I hung up the phone and entered the car.

"Ma‘am." Keith handed me a delicate-looking box. “Why don't you have breakfast first, Mrs. Grant?”

I was stunned. “How did you know I haven't had breakfast?”

Jordan would order breakfast for the employees every morning, and someone would deliver it each day. Keith should know that.

Keith smiled faintly. "Mr. Grant sent me a text. Besides, I'm staying here because I need to take care of your three meals a day."

I took the box with a smile.

To have someone constantly thinking about me was probably what they called bliss.

When I arrived at the research institute, I bumped into Jordan getting out of the car.

I greeted him and thought about how I had seen him in the village last night. I asked," Did you go to the village center yesterday, Mr. Fredericks?"

Jordan's gaze suddenly turned so cold and austere that it gave me endless chills.

I was shocked to see him suddenly acting like that.

After regaining my composure, I

faintly said, “Shannon bought a lot of

food back from the city yesterday.

She wentcriook or you in your

room butyou weren't there. You S

didn't apiswer her call either, sowe

ended up eating first. Later, we

heard that the village centetwas

véty lively and all the employees at

the research institute had gone

there, so I just wanted to ask you if

you went as well.’

Jordan's gaze softened as he said with a smile, "I was busy last night.”

I nodded. "What a pity. Shannon bought a lot of good food but you weren't able to try them."

"l'll definitely seize the opportunity next time."

Jordan entered the research institute after saying that.

I was just about to enter when Lally called out to me from behind.

I looked back and saw her getting out of the car with dark circles under her eyes. She said weakly to me, "Good morning."

I smiled. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?”

Gaily let out a long sigh, wailing, “Yeah, I stayed up all night. I'm exhausted."

I frowned. "There isn't much left to do for this project that it should keep you up all night.”

Lally nodded. "There are several

other projects I'm in charge of. Atl of

them were completed at the same

time, $0 I have too many documents

to ge-through. That's why I had to

werk overtime.”

I looked sympathetically at her. "You're doing great."

When Lally entered the research institute, I looked at Keith and asked, “Has there been any progress on the robbery case?"

Keith frowned. "Ma'am, Mr. Grant told me to keep you out of this. I'll handle it.”

I nodded. “Alright.”

This matter was too complicated, so Theo refused to let me handle it after considering my safety.

Most of the equipment on the first floor of the institute had been set up. Elena was guiding the workers to set up the equipment on the second floor.

When Keithrand I walked into the

research-institute, we were in nog

hurry tayo up to the second floor.

instead, we went to see the machine

yesterday.
