Chapter 129 Leaning In For A Kiss

Wyatt kept on blabbering, and the annoyed Jeremy was about to say something when he noticed Theodore frowning with his teeth tightly clenched.

As they had spent a few years together in Norham, Jeremy knew Theodore all too well.

Theodore wouldn’t even flinch even if he had a gun pointed at his head, and yet, he reacted rather strongly when we visited Curtis a week ago. It only lasted a few seconds, but I know I saw it! Is he reacting like this because of a certain someone?

After considering Theodore’s response to Wyatt’s words and how he treated Kristie that night, Jeremy was able to piece the puzzle together and came up with a theory.

“I prefer a knowledgeable and mild-mannered woman like Ms. Sanders,” he replied with a smile on his face.

Wyatt gave him a smack on the shoulder and said, “That’s a dangerous way of thinking, Jeremy! Ms. Sanders is Curtis’ fiancée! Are you seriously planning on stealing his woman?”

“Of course not! She just happens to be my type, that’s all.” Jeremy said while stealing a glance at Theodore. Sure enough, Theodore pursed his lips and had an extremely gloomy look on his face.

Ha! I knew it!

Wyatt clicked his tongue. “You’ve never had a girlfriend, right? This is the first time I’ve heard you express an interest in women. Maybe you should tell Curtis about it when he wakes up. Who knows? He might just give you two his blessings!”

“Sure, we could do that.”

Theodore’s frown deepened as the two of them chatted on, and the aura he exuded grew colder with each passing second. Eventually, he grabbed Wyatt by the arm and dragged him aside. “You two can head back now. I’ll stay here and watch over Curtis.”
