Chapter 220 Theodore Back Home
Theodore had been hiding under the bed for a few hours, in the middle of which Morgan snuck into the room and brought him some snacks and water. Theodore was gobbling the food like a little mouse on the edge of the bed.
“Momo, Sion was the bad guy. It’s all his fault! Don’t be fooled by him, or all these sufferings will be in vain!”
He knew that his sister had changed her feelings about Sion since she was too innocent to reveal the disguises of that bad guy.
Morgan looked at him, who was eating anxiously, and passed her brother a piece of tissue silently. She said with a serious face, “Theo, you should think about how to get out of here.”
Theodore paused and said, “Don’t worry, I have a way!”
It was 10 PM.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Sion finished all his work at this hour, and he went into Morgan’s room. He saw her asleep before he gently walked out.
Morgan heard the door close and opened her eyes abruptly. She waited for a moment until there was the sound of another door closing outside before crawling over to the edge of the bed.
“Theo?” She looked under the bed and said in a hardly audible voice, “Daddy has gone to his room, he has already taken a bath, I think he will be asleep after a while.”
Morgan was worried about her brother, for he had been staying there for a long and the floor was so cold. She must hurry to get him out safely.
“Okay.” Theodore crawled out from under the bed and patted his clothes.
“I’ll see what happens first.”
After saying that, he gingerly walked to the door, opened a crack and looked into the room diagonally opposite.
The doorway was still faintly lit, which created a perfect chance for him. After watching there for a little while, the light went out.
Sion was asleep.
Theodore smirked and turned back to Morgan’s room.
“Theo, your watch.”
Morgan handed the phone watch toward him, wondering, “How did Daddy get it today?”
Theodore, in a somewhat mixed mood, put the watch on mute and said with chagrin, “I think Mommy called me. So I stuffed the watch in the closet.”
He never thought this would happen before. He always turned the volume all the way up so he could answer the calls from his mommy and Morgan right away.
After today, he wouldn’t dare to turn on the sound again.
“Oh!” Morgan suddenly realized, “So Mommy knows you ran out to find Daddy?”
“I don’t think so.” Theodore scratched a handful of his hair, starting to worry. He thought Aurora would be unhappy if she knew he had come looking for Sion. But he couldn’t care more about that now. He needed to leave here now.
“Momo, I’m going to go now. Take care of yourself! Call me at any time, okay?”
Theodore admonished his sister like a little adult, then pulled open the door and walked out carefully. Morgan nodded obediently and stood in the doorway of the room, watching her brother walk away. Her heart was racing madly too, for fear that Daddy would suddenly appear to catch them in the act. But fortunately, Theodore successfully left the house. Morgan patted her small chest and turned back to her room.
Theodore carefully walked through the door. Breathing a mouthful of air, he was finally relieved. The lights of the corridor in the house made him feel warm now. But when he was about to laugh at his victory, he was taken away from behind with his mouth covered the next second.
In the car, Theodore was sitting upright, squinting his eyes to glance at the woman with a powerful aura next to him from time to time.
That was his mom.
Aurora tended to be gentle to them, but she was quite fearsome when she got mad at them. She stared at Theodore without saying a word, waiting for him to speak first. Theodore had never seen his mom look like this, and his little heart was pounding. He thought that Aurora must have known what he had done today. Therefore, he had prepared for the punishment expecting him.
“Mommy,”
“I just want to go see how Momo is doing…”
“Theodore, did Mommy tell you not to get close to Sion Carroll again!”
Aurora deemed that a four or five-year-old child would be caught by that shrewd man without effort. If Sion found out the truth, he wouldn’t let them go easily, regardless of whether he would eventually perceive their blood relationship or not.
Theodore stole a glance at her, finding that his mom was extremely serious. Moreover, she called him by his full name. Theodore lowered his head. And suddenly, he got a move.
“Mommy,” he held out his hand pitifully, “I promise to be good and obedient from now on, I won’t dare to do it again. Mommy, please forgive me this time.”
Aurora was frightened by his reaction this time. She did not relax a little, “What did you do this time?”
Theodore remained silent, remembering that his mom had already been mad at him for what he did at Sion’s wedding, let alone this time. He dared not tell Aurora about the things he did in Sion’s office today. And she would get worried if he told her what had happened when he was at Sion’s house. Theodore was in a mental battle, on the one hand, he felt he shouldn’t lie; on the other hand, he didn’t want to worry his mom. So he didn’t know how to explain it to Aurora.
Aurora thought Theodore was aggrieved.
“Did Sion bully you?” Aurora frowned, and the anger in her heart turned into heartache.
Theodore rarely stammered like this, only when he was frustrated with something, he would not say a word. Aurora felt something wrong might have happened to him.
On hearing Aurora’s question, Theodore felt conflicted, since it was he who played tricks on Sion by putting glue on his chair.
Theodore hasted to change the topic.
“Mommy, let’s go home, OK?” He was afraid of both his mommy’s anger and worry, so it was better to wait until later, “I want to go home.”
His reaction verified Aurora’s speculation and she took Theodore into her arms.
“Okay, let’s go home.” She said in a soft voice and her eyes were sharp.
Theodore went home and fell asleep after a shower soon after a busy day. Aurora covered him with the blanket, and walked towards the balcony, looking at the endless night. Then she picked up her phone and began, “You may proceed.”
By the window of Sion’s villa, he looked in the direction of the long-lost car and wondered why Aurora would have been downstairs of his house.
