NovelApexChapter 876 My breathing was unsteady. Clutching his arm, I said in a trembling voice, "Givea child, Theo. I want a child that belongs to you and me." Theo's body stiffened, and there was a fleeting coldness in his eyes.
I sensed it and opened my eyes to look curiously at him. "No." He put away the coldness in his eyes and said with a smile, "Of course, you can. I will give you whatever you want." I thought about my child who died and felt my heart and body starting to hurt.
He tookin his arms, his voice low and attractive." We must stay this happy, Wanda." I nodded. "Okay." He carriedinto the bathroom, and after a quick cleaning up, he carriedback to the bedroom again.
I fell into a deep sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I was so tired.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen I woke up the next morning and did not see Theo, I figured he must have gone to work.
The sunlight spilled through the window in the bedroom. The mottled light and shadow swayed about.
I lay quietly for a moment and could vaguely feel dampness under my body.
I got up, and when I lifted the covers, I saw bloodstains on the sheets.
I was a little stunned. I was on my period only a few days ago.
Although I would sometimes experience irregular menstruation, I had never experienced getting my period twice in a month.
I changed my pajama pants and the sheets. I then carried the stained sheets and pajama pants to the laundry room.
If I wanted a child now, I would have to start taking care of my body. This would not do.
After going downstairs, I saw Theo sitting on the sofa i n the living room reading the newspaper. I walked over and said with a smile, "I thought you had gone to work." Theo looked up at me. "You're awake." I nodded and walked over to sit beside him.
The man tookin his arms and said with a smile, "I don't need to go to the company for now." I raised my eyebrows. "You're on annual leave now?" Theo smiled. "Yes, I'm finally on annual leave." As he spoke, he planted a gentle kiss on my cheek.
I thought of the sandalwood box that I got back from Petra and asked, "Theo, should we go and open that sandalwood box?" The box had been left at hfor a long time, and I never had the tto open it.
Now that I happened to remember it and had nothing better to do anyway, maybe it was tto open it.
I went to the study, found the sandalwood box, and asked Theo, "Have you opened it before?" He shook his head. "I couldn't open it. We need to find a locksmith to open it." After a pause, he continued, "I think Petra mentioned that this box belonged to the Fredericks." Why were the Fredericks involved now?
I pursed my lips, a little puzzled. "This box has been with Mother for as long as I can emember. How are the Fredericks involved?" Theo shook his head. "I'm not sure about that." "Don't you have the key to open it?" I asked curiously.
Theo sighed. "What Grandma gaveback then wasn't a key but a set of of instructions. She was worried about you so she askedto take good care of you. This box was actually just a pretense."
I was stunned and looked dazedly at the box. There was no way of m opening this box but that was not the point. I had a feeling that Mother had an extraordinary identity. X
