Chapter 40
Upon reaching home, Alice invited the help of Theo and redecorated Daniel’s room.
The room had been plain before. Now it appeared cozy, just like the master bedroom.
Theo glanced at the silk bedsheet and could not help himself. He wanted to sit on it and try it out.
However, Alice dragged him away by his ear.
“Ouch! Why did you grab my ear?” Theo howled morosely.
Alice pushed him out of the room and explained, “My husband is obsessed with cleanliness. You
cannot sit on his bed.” Although she was married to Daniel for a short time, she could tell that Daniel
was very precise and obsessed with keeping clean.
Thus, to prevent quarrels in the future, Alice decided to stop her friend.
Even though his ears were red from the abuse, Theo could still hear what Alice had just said. He
looked at the three obedient children and could not refrain from muttering, “Alice, did that husband of
yours cast a spell on you? Why are you so good to him?”
After all, Alice was known for her outspokenness and fiery temper. She had even gotten into physical
altercations with several people previously.
He did not think that she would be so considerate toward a husband whom she had suddenly married.
“Cast a spell? Don’t talk rubbish in front of the children!” Alice handed him a bottle of yogurt and said to
Theo, “He could have his pick of other women. He chose to marry me to help me. If I am good to the
children and him, it is because they deserve it.”
“Are you sure?” Theo’s face was disbelieving. “Are you sure it wasn’t because you’re beautiful?” he
ridiculed.
“Of course not!” Alice stated clearly, feeling a little guilty at the same time.
Truth be told, Daniel’s face suited her preferences very well.
They joked around for a while more before Alice remembered something. “Do you know someone
named William Kaur?”
Theo was astonished, recognizing the name. William was the chief executive of the company Theo was
working at. How could he not have heard of the name?
However, the chief executive had once announced to everyone not to reveal his identity, not even to
their own parents.
Thus, even though Alice had asked him, he could only misdirect her. “I have heard of him. He’s
someone from public relations. He’s very nice and often comes to our department to play with us.”
Alice nodded. It was no wonder everyone liked those posts on Instagram.
“Wait, why are you so concerned about William? Don’t tell me you are considering having an affair?”
Theo stared at Alice.
“An affair? Don’t be ludicrous! I’m only curious!” Alice decided not to tell Theo that she was William’s
sister-in-law, or Theo would bug her continuously about it.
The beds were delivered in the afternoon. Theo called his assistant over to help. They managed to tidy
the place up together before dinner time.
But when Theo and his assistant wanted to stay for dinner, Alice turned them down.
“I’ve never mentioned you to my husband before. I will invite you to dinner next time.” Alice feared that
Daniel would feel awkward when he met her circle of friends. That was why she did not allow them to
stay.
“Okay, fine. Just keep that husband of yours under cover! Let’s see how long he can leech off you!”
With a laugh, Theo grabbed his assistant and left the house.
As he left the neighborhood, he noticed a car identical to the one he had seen at the mall.
He took out his phone for comparison. It was indeed Mr. Kaur’s car.
Theo hesitated, unsure if he should head right over, when the tall figure of a man appeared.
He wanted to catch a glimpse of Mr. Kaur, but a team of security guards blocked Mr. Kaur’s face from
sight. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Theo was stunned. Still, he took a photo of the man and sent it to Alice.
[Alice, you live in the same neighborhood as the renowned Mr. Kaur!]
Alice saw the message and replied: [What has that got to do with me?]
Theo sent: [Don’t you want a sugar daddy?]
Alice answered: [I much prefer my boy toy husband!]
Theo retorted quickly: [Loser!]
Still, Theo decided he would drop by Alice’s house more frequently from now on. He wanted to see if
he was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the elusive Mr. Kaur!
