Chapter 56 What About Our Child?

Desire lingers in a man's eyes, making Phoebe nervously retreat.

"I haven't finished my work."

Theodore frowned slightly, looking at the neatly organized documents on the desk and spoke softly. Phoebe couldn't quite figure out Theodore's thoughts, so she pointed to the pile of files next to her that she hadn't rushed to look at and said, "There are these ones too."

Theodore glanced over and saw that the pile of files amounted to five or six sheets. He tightened his thin lips and said, "Take a look."

Saying that, he walked over to the sofa and sat down, as if indicating that he would wait for her, to finish reading the files, before leaving together. Phoebe felt uneasy. What was Theodore thinking? She genuinely became afraid of him.

"You..." she started to say one word but then saw Theodore looking up at her. Under the Lamplight, his eyes were cold and deep. Her heart jumped. "If you're busy, you can go ahead and leave, no need to wait for me."

"I'm not busy," Theodore leaned back on the sofa and took out his phone to play a game.

He left the sound effects on, and as Phoebe sat back at her desk, pretending to read a document, occasionally the sound of thunder from the game would reach her ears.

"Let's go."
