Chapter 266

Theo's grandmother had flown into a terrible rage because of that and had forbidden Quinn from ever returning to the Grant family. Everyone who stayed in the Grant household dared not to even mention her name.

That was why I had never seen Quinn in the five years I had spent at the Grant household.

I could tell that Quinn had married into a well-to-do family just by looking at her house. No wonder she had been alright with cutting ties with the Grant family.

Quinn pulled me along with her as we walked into the mansion. It was much larger than the mansion Theo had bought at Whaldorf City. One look at the interior decoration and its accessories told me they were of top -notch quality.

There was a massive, private swimming pool beside the gorgeous open-air garden.

Next to the swimming pool was a beach umbrella and a young, muscular man with a pair of sunglasses on lying underneath it. He was basking in the sun. On the patch of grass beside him laid a large golden retriever.

I had always been terrified of dogs because I had been

bitten by one when I was younger. To me, all dogs looked terrifying.

At that moment, the golden retriever's tongue was hanging out of its mouth as it stared at me. My heart rose to my throat as I instinctively clutched Theo's hand tighter.

Noticing my panic, Theo swept his gaze over to the man. An unpleasant expression appeared on his face, but he did not say anything as he held my hand tightly and silently comforted me.
