Chapter 432

I nodded. "It's been a long time since I met Cecilia and Jerome. Plus, I've been calling Cecilia but

she never picks up. Meanwhile, Jerome hangs up after just a few sentences. I have a feeling that

they’re hiding something from me. I won’t be able to celebrate New Year's in peace if I don't pay

them a visit."

"It’d be good for me to go over and have a look as well." Theo took his phone and started scrolling.

"Let me check my schedule. I can accompany you there."

"It’s fine," I quickly answered, "You’re busy during the year-end. I can handle this myself."

Theo kept quiet until he put his phone down. "I can take the chance to visit the hospitals over there.

A few branches there have been encountering problems recently. Even Mason hasn't been able to

handle the situation there well. It seems like a sticky situation."

Mason had always been in charge of the medical business and now that there were many

problems, I could not help but be reminded of what Heidi told me.

Honestly, I did not want to suspect Mason for anything, but if what Heidi said was true, Theo might

end up getting hurt. Hence, it was better to be safe than sorry. 1

"About you and Mason..." I stopped halfway because it felt strange to ask him about it in such a

direct manner.

Theo was confused. "What about me and Mason?”

I shook my head. "I know that you two met during university, but I don't know how you two became

good friends. I'm curious."

It took time and many shared experiences for someone to completely trust another. I should be able

t o find out something about their past by asking this question.

Theo frowned. "There’s nothing much to say about this, though."

I squinted.

Judging from his expression, I could tell that something not too pleasant had happened in the past

and he was reluctant to tell me about it.

Since he was unwilling to tell me, I would not force him. I thought about it for a while and said, "I'm

curious, but if you're unwilling to tell me, then forget about it."

"Are you unhappy again?" Theo hugged me. "I really don't get you. Why are you so emotional?"

I pursed my lips. "No, I’m not."

"Alright." Theo gave me a peck on my cheek. "I’ll tell you when the time comes."

When was that?

It still meant that he was unwilling to tell me, right?

I felt slightly annoyed. "Alright, I get it. Let’s just go to sleep."

Theo nodded. "Goodnight."

I did not have an appetite during dinner and did not eat much. Now that I was about to sleep, I felt

hungry.

I sat up and said, "I'm hungry, so I'll go downstairs to eat something. You can sleep first."

Theo immediately got up. "I'll go with you."

He had been really clingy recently. I said helplessly, " I'll come back up once I finish eating. You're

probably tired after a long day. Just go ahead and sleep."

He was yawning just now. If he accompanied me to eat, he would be even more tired.

"It’s fine." Theo did not listen to me and insisted on getting out of bed. "I'm a little hungry as well."

I let out a helpless sigh and let him be.

Miss Woods knew that we were hungry when she saw that we had not slept. "Young Master, Young

Mistress, I'll heat up some food for you. You two can wait at the dining table, it won’t take long."
