Chapter 955

I looked at her with reddened eyes. I could not stop myself from embracing her. "Take care of

yourself when Theo and I aren't around.”

After the shock, Quinn helplessly said, "Why are you suddenly so emotional? It's not like you're

never going to see me again."

There was a pang in my heart. I let go of her and held back the urge to cry, saying, "I know you

didn’t envision an ordinary woman like me spending the rest of this lifetime with Theo. We had

plenty of conflicts in the past, but I know you did it all for Theo's sake. Besides, you've never done

anything to hurt me. I know you're just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You mean no

harm."

Quinn was stunned. After a long time, she realized what I was saying and asked with unease, "Why

are you suddenly saying these things?"

I smiled. "Thank you."

I embraced her again after saying that, but the pain in my heart remained.

There were no good or bad in this world, just different opinions.

Quinn was kind to me now, so I regarded her as a good

person and someone who was worthy of my kindness.

Petra was the same.

Quinn patted my back and asked a little worriedly, " Did something happen? Talk to me so we can

find a way to solve it together.”

I let go of her and said with a smile, "I do need your help on one thing.”

"Hurry up and tell me." Quinn was worried about me and seemed a little eager.

“Can you lend me ten dollars?"

Quinn laughed in exasperation. “You piss me off. How could you make me worry on purpose?”

Having said that, she pulled out a stack of bills from her pocket.

Afraid that she would give all of it to me, I pressed down on her hand and drew out a ten-dollar bill

from the stack. I said with a smile, "Just ten dollars will do."

After driving away, I went back to the old lady who sold baked sweet potatoes and gave her ten

dollars before going home.

Theo had not returned yet. I went back to my room to change into pajamas and went downstairs to

sit on the sofa as I waited for him to return.

Theo came back at half-past five.

Seeing that I was not watching TV or reading a book and was merely sitting on the sofa in a daze,

he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

I came back to my senses and looked up at him, saying with a smile, "Nothing. I'm just hungry and

was wondering why you weren't home yet."

Theo sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulder, saying helplessly, "Caroline is making

dinner. It should be ready soon. We’ll eat when she's done."

After a pause, he continued, "You don't have any cash o n you?"

I was stunned and thought that Quinn might have called to say something to him.

I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat as I said with a smile, "I bought a baked

sweet potato at a roadside stall but forgot that I didn’t have any cash on me. The old lady was really

nice and wanted to give it to me for free, but I couldn’t bring myself to take it without paying. That’s

why I borrowed money from Quinn and paid the old lady after leaving Quinn's place."

Theo gently sighed. "The bank card I gave you is cashable. Just go to the bank and cash out some

money if you need it next time."

I pursed my lips. "Do we have any cash at home?"

Theo nodded. "There are tens of thousands of dollars i n the drawer in the study. Go and get it if

you need to use it."
