Chapter 1150

Although I said I was going to get along with Theo like a friend, I did not know how t o do that.

Throughout the many years we were together, there were indeed warm and sweet times between

us but they were rare. Most of the time was spent either quarreling or in silence.

"What are you thinking about?" Theo's low voice entered my ears.

I came back to my senses and shook my head. "Nothing."

He took the clean plates from my hands and asked me with a face full of seriousness, "Do you like

Jordan a lot?"

I froze, feeling a little dumbfounded when h e suddenly asked the question.

I saw Theo looking at the living room and followed his gaze.

Jordan and Shannon were playing. Thinking about how my mind had just wandered off, I realized

that Theo might have gotten the wrong idea.

He thought I was gloomy because of the sweet interactions between Jordan and Shannon.

I looked at him and saw his dark eyes looking motionlessly at me. I suddenly wanted to mess with

him, so I nodded and said, "A lot. Any woman would be truly lucky to meet a handsome and

outstanding man like Jordan.”

As soon as I said those words, I felt the temperature around me drop.

I did not say anything else and lowered my head to continue washing the dishes.

I thought he would mock me at first, but surprisingly, he did not say anything at all.

I looked at him in surprise. Seeing the calm look on his face and his expression that was difficult to

tell, I could not help but ask, “Don’t you have something to discuss with Jordan?"

He did not look at me. His long fingers slid between the porcelain bowls with particularly skilled

movements. "There's n o hurry."

After that, neither of us spoke again. An inevitable feeling of awkwardness hung in the air.

Just as I started racking my brain to think o f a way to break the awkwardness, Theo's phone rang.

I quickly handed him a tissue, but he did not take it and merely looked at me with a pair of dark

eyes.

I froze and asked a little unsurely, "Don't you want to wipe your hands?”

Theo pursed his lips. "Take it out for me. It's not convenient for me to do it."

If it was not convenient, then wipe your hands!

I looked at the right pocket of his suit trousers and said in a dilemma, "You should probably do it

yourself. It's inconvenient for me to get it for you."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "How is that inconvenient?"

How could it be convenient for a woman like me to reach into his trousers pocket to get his phone?

Theo furrowed his brows. "I’m just asking you to help me grab my phone. How is that

inconvenient?"

His words made me seem like a narrowminded person. The phone had been ringing for a very long

time and would automatically hang up if not answered soon. Seeing the look on Theo's face as

though saying that he would not answer it i f I did not pick it up, I helplessly sighed and reached into

his trousers pocket.

After taking out the phone and handing it t o him, my face was a little red. "Hurry up and answer it."

Theo raised his eyebrows and looked down at his hands covered with foam, then back at me. His

intention was clear. There was n o way he could answer the phone like this, so he needed my help

to answer it for him.
