Chapter 159:

Theo was relaxing in the study, leaning back in the plush chair with his eyes shut. Kaelyn, carrying her purse and wearing high heels, pushed the door open. “Theo, I was really surprised to get your message,” Kaelyn said with a gentle smile. “Now that I’m here, what do you want to do?”

She reached out to touch his face, but Theo abruptly opened his eyes and tilted his head away, avoiding her hand. Kaelyn gave an awkward smile, pulling her hand back. “What’s the matter, Theo? You seem upset.”

Theo gazed at her face for a moment before speaking. “Kaelyn, after that mudslide, how did you manage to save me?”
