Chapter 0963

TUAE, days earlier]

Theodore and Fiona were having breakfast in the penthouse while Adam was out running errands. The young man knew that even though his parents had reunited and his father had decided to marry his mother, they still needed time and space to understand each other.

Adam was well aware that his father was a serious and rigid man, while his mother was sweet and timid. She had done her best to raise him with love and respect, but he also knew she had never been able to forget his father. She never tried to rebuild her life, partly because it was difficult in their culture as a woman with children and a complicated past.

She turned to look at him, then quickly lowered her gaze.

“Nothing, my lord… It’s just that…” she said shyly.

Theodore didn’t know how to react. He had been with women here before, but Fiona was different. She treated him as if he were her master, as if by marrying her, he had automatically become her owner.

“Fiona, hey, look at me. We need to talk,” he said seriously.

Slowly, she lifted her gaze but still couldn’t meet his eyes fully.

“First of all, why do you treat me like I own you? I’m not your owner. And I don’t like you calling me ‘my lord.‘ Call me Theodore, just like you used to when you were young.
