Chapter 675

He sighed, then wore a smile on his face. However, the smile seemed somewhat bitter. "I was too

selfish."

"What was Tyler’s role in all of this?" I asked another question that had been bothering me back

then.

After learning the truth, I recalled the strange things Tyler had said to me before. He probably knew

everything from the beginning. If so, why did he not stop Theo from doing so?

Why was he not willing to let Petra and Grayson reunite with me?

Theo let go of me, his gaze darkening. "The Louises are too complicated. Moreover, Grayson has

offended many people over the years. Those guys wanted the Louises to disappear from Whaldorf

City. If you became Grayson's daughter and he got in trouble, can you imagine what would have

happened to you?"

Therefore, Tyler later used Matthew and referred me t o Carlson to be his daughter, just so I could

receive protection from the Schumans and Theo in case I reunited with the Louises and Grayson

got into trouble?

They seemed to have been thinking of ways to protect me all this while, but I still ended up losing

my child

and Cecilia. Was it all fated, then?

I sighed and looked out the window at the blue sky. M y heart was in a lot of pain.

Three years was enough to heal broken wounds, but what was done could not be undone.

I did not know the answer.

"Wanda..." He hugged me again. "Can you come back t o Whaldorf City with me? Ever since you

left, I've been preparing for the wedding and waiting for you to come back one day so we can hold a

grand wedding. I’ll let everyone know that you're my wife, now and forever."

His voice was low and lingering. I cast my eyes down." Lessons in the kindergarten will be over

soon. I'm going to pick Munchkin up."

I could not give him an answer, at least not yet.

His pupils darkened slightly. "I’ll go pick him up with you.”

I shook my head and pointed at his laptop. "Your meeting isn't over yet."

The meeting was stopped halfway through. It was estimated that Grant Corporation's executives

were probably losing their heads by now.

He smiled slightly, not exactly concerned about it. He said, "I'll ask Keith to take you there.”

I wanted to refuse but eventually sealed my lips. I could not win an argument with him and I knew

that very well.

I went downstairs and got in the car.

Keith kept looking at me through the rearview mirror o n the way there. He seemed as though he

had things t o say yet did not know how to start.

I knew very well that he wanted to lobby for Theo.

After he looked at me through the rearview mirror again, I softly sighed. "Now that Grant

Corporation is developing so well in Whaldorf City, you're bound to have an extraordinary status

being his only special assistant."

He was stunned, unsure of what I was trying to say.

I pursed my lips. "Between you and your wife, do you two fight because you’re too busy at work or

when you have to attend inappropriate events?"

"No." There was a faint smile on his face. "She understands and believes in me."

I smiled slightly. "How rare."

As the only assistant beside Theo, Keith had an unusual status. For men, as their status rose, in

addition to their busy work schedule, it was easy for them to lose themselves. Conflicts could

gradually arise between husband and wife.

However, it was not the case with Keith. He had always been clear-headed, and this was something

I noticed when I first met him. Theo had a keen eye when it came to judging a person's character.
