Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 227

The next day.

At the Smiths‘ house.

Theresa arrived wearing a white dress, looking demure and graceful.

“Mrs. Smith, this is a gift for you.” Theresa offered a present proactively.

Mrs. Smith immediately beamed with joy. “Theresa, your visit is gift enough. Why bring something extra?”

Theresa spoke gently. “It’s proper etiquette to bring a gift when visiting elders.”

Mrs. Smith’s smile grew even wider.

Thomas watched Theresa’s ladylike demeanor and couldn’t help but marvel.

“Women, indeed, are the most changeable creatures in the world.” He thought.

“Theresa, come, have a chat with Thomas. I’ll go and cook a few more dishes,” Mrs. Smith said cheerfully.

“I can help, Mrs. Smith.” Theresa quickly offered.

But Mrs. Smith firmly seated her on the sofa. “We can’t have a guest helping.

Then, giving Thomas a stern look, she said, “Aren’t you going to take good care of Theresa?”

Thomas had no choice but to engage Theresa in conversation, serving her coffee and water.

Seeing this, Mrs. Smith went to the kitchen with satisfaction.

Once Mrs. Smith left for the kitchen, Thomas slumped onto the sofa, relieved.

Theresa’s demeanor changed instantly from her previous gentleness.

She looked at Thomas coldly. “Thomas, you’re quite something.”

“Thanks for the compliment, Thomas replied.

Theresa narrowed her eyes. “Let me tell you, next time you have something, come directly to me, not my mother.”

Thomas, that scoundrel, had invited her for dinner, not by asking her directly, but by calling her mother instead.

When Mrs. Austin heard that they had progressed to meeting the parents, she was overjoyed and sent Theresa out the door without even asking for her consent!

Theresa knew that Thomas, the rascal, did it on purpose.

“Would you have agreed to come to my house if I had asked you directly?” Thomas inquired.

“No!” Theresa replied without hesitation.

“That’s exactly my point.” Thomas shrugged.

Theresa felt like hitting him again.

Seeing her expression, Thomas realized he might have spoken out of turn again. He cleared his throat and said, “Miss Austin, honestly, I didn’t mean to offend you. On the contrary, inviting you over was an attempt to mend our relationship.”

“Oh?” Theresa looked at him mockingly.

“I admit I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize,” Thomas said sincerely. “Please believe me, I had no ill intentions. I’m just not ready for a relationship right now, and I really don’t want to waste your time.”

“Waste my time?” Theresa glanced at him disdainfully. “Don’t worry, you couldn’t even if you tried.”

Thomas was speechless.

He took a deep breath, trying to change the subject.

“Miss Austin, you like classic literature. Who’s your favorite author?”

Theresa gave him a look, “Are you sure you want to discuss this with me? I advise against embarrassing yourself.”

Thomas was speechless again.

Alright, discussing this might indeed be embarrassing for him.

After all, she was about to become a doctor of literature.

Thomas tried another topic. “Do you like skincare? I know a few skincare tips. How about we share some?”

Theresa replied indifferently, “There are several pimples on your face.”

Thomas touched his face, surprised. She was right.

Theresa sneered. “With skin like yours, you think you’re in a position to discuss skincare with me?”

Thomas felt a bit defiant but then he looked at Theresa’s face.

Aside from her slightly outdated style, her skin was indeed impeccably smooth and hydrated.

Chapter 227

After a moment, Thomas blurted out, “Do you… play games?”

“For example?” Theresa asked.

“For example, Path of Quest?” Thomas suggested.

Theresa was momentarily taken aback.

Path of Quest.

That was the online game she had been playing.

Of course, she hadn’t opened that client in a long time.

Partly because she had become engrossed in Starry Romance.

And partly….

Because the person she wanted to meet was no longer in the game.

Thinking of that person, Theresa’s eyes lowered, and a dull ache suddenly throbbed in her heart.

She slowly said, “I don’t play it.”

“Would you be interested?” Thomas pressed.

“It’s okay,” Theresa cautiously replied.

“How about we play

together?” Thomas sugest

After a moment of silence, Theresa agreed, “Alright.”

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding a common topic.

He quickly led Theresa to the study.
