Chapter 1022

My mind wandered off for a moment, and | looked up a t the sky, suddenly realizing that twas passing too

quickly. | felt as though | had just left Whaldorf City, but | had been away for more than two months now.

| lowered my head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm back in the country."

| believed he must have been very worried when we met abroad. We were in such a dangerous situation and |

was taken away by Milan before we had tto say a word to each other.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

After a period of silence, he asked carefully, "I'll ct o you?"

| pursed my lips. "Maybe not. I'm doing very well.

Don't worry."

"| want to see you." The man's voice sounded somewhat restrained. | could feel his emotions through the phone.

| had not heard such words in a long tand could not help but feel a little touched.

"Theo." | took a deep breath. "I'm really fine."

Initially, | wanted to tell him to try and live his own life, but | knew that he would get mad if | said that.

"I'm not fine at all."

His voice sounded a little low with a hint of urgency and repressed emotions. "Wanda, there's a banishment limit

| changed the subject, afraid that | would lose control o f myself and tell him how much | missed him. | was afraid

that my presence would bring chaos to his life again.

He should be living a complete life with his wife and son, but | did not have the ability to give him a complete

"Wanda Lane!"

Theo finally snapped. "Is this a punishment for me? If yes, then tellwhat I'm supposed to do for you to come

Afraid to continue talking to him like this, | said in a somewhat panicked tone, "I still have things to do.

Let's talk sother time."

Having said that, | took the phone away from my ear and quickly hung up the phone.

When did | beca coward?

Even | disliked myself!

When | returned to Hommiton City, Jordan had returned from his business trip as well.

He did not know that | had applied for a leave, so when | arrived at the company and appeared in front o f him,

he said a little angrily, "I need an explanation, Wanda.”

His brows were tightly furrowed, and unhappiness was written all over his face.

This was the first t| had ever seen him angry, and i t was quite rare.

| sighed lightly, "Mr. Fredericks, | applied for-" &
