| turned around to see Theo walking towardin his suit. His tie was no longer in its original position, and the
top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned.
| knew this was how he looked after working overtime. Even so, the waitresses in the lobby began to get
uncontrollably excited.
| was about to get up, but he quickly cover and gently held my shoulders, pressingback into my spot.
He looked atwith gentle eyes and gestured forto sit on the chair and rest.
"Mr. Cullen, since you love to share so much, how about sharing withthe whole story of how you and your
esteemed wife first met and fell in love before getting
married and having Tina? I'm sure that must be very exciting."
Theo naturally sat down next to us, not feeling awkward at all.
| thought Fred would leave of his own accord, but | did not expect him to remain calmly sitting across the table.

He smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth curling up like he was mocking Theo.
My hand clenched into a fist out of nervousness.
Theo had started a war as soon as he arrived, and Fred, who was on the other side of the table, was also

1 did not know which side to advise first.
Theo took my hand and stroked it slowly as if he was holding a treasure.
"Occasionally to pass the time, | also like to listen to other people's stories. After all, during sad times, people
would always want to listen to sad stories. It'll help their psyche to actively boost the brain's happy hormones."
| rolled my eyes. Theo's words were a clear way to get Fred to share his sad stories for Theo's amusement.
| gently tugged on his hand, indicating that he should not continue. This was really excessive.
He looked at me. "It's okay, Fred knows I'm an excessive person anyway. Such a request should be very much in

It was not the sfor children.
The two men, no matter how stubborn, could not ignore their own children.

After that, he tookout of the
lobby as if he did not even realize that Fred was also going back to the private room with us. He directly ignored
