Chapter 3 As soon as those words were out, Theodore's expression got even colder, and there was a mix of emotions in his in- tense stare that Katherine couldn't understand. After all, it took Katherine five whole years to go from the guest room to the master bedroom. It wasn't until about a month ago that Theodore finally agreed to share a bed with her. And now, here she was actually offering to give up the master bedroom on her own which completely caught Theodore off guard. Katherine didn't want to say anything else. She turned around and headed upstairs to grab her stuff. But Isabelle stopped her. "Ms. Acrea, I just got divorced and I don't feel safe at all. Even the smallest noise freaks me out, and I really can't be around strangers right now. d you please move to a room below the third floor?" eaking, there was complete silence in the villa. vants in the corner were whispering to each other. "Well, besides the third floor, there aren't any other rooms at in the villa. The only one that's free is where they used to keep the dog..." "Now that I think about it, that dog was a gift from Ms. Danford to Mr. Bagnall. He even took care of it himself for quite a while." That dog had died before Katherine moved in, and no one had gone into that room for five whole years. Katherine quietly watched Theodore as he seemed lost in thought, waiting for his response. But Isabelle jumped in first. "Oh, forget it. I'll just use earplugs and take some sleeping pills. It's already really nice of Theo to let me stay here. I shouldn't push my luck." p hesitating.

After hearing about this, Theodore helped her set up an appointment with a well-known doctor for treatment. He even expressed his concern for her in front of the media. But behind closed doors, he never bothered to ask about how she was doing-not even once. 0.0 % 09:42 Chapter 3 288 Vouchers. Now, Isabelle had just mentioned it casually, and he felt so anxious that he acted as though he could shoulder her pain himself. He even rushed to tell the staff to swap out the curtains for blackout ones and asked them to adjust their schedules to fit Isabelle's daily routine from then on. The difference between really loving someone and not is huge. After glancing at Theodore, Katherine turned around and took her bags into that room. As soon as she opened the door, a strong musty smell hit her face. Since it hadn't been used in years, the room had become a storage space filled with dust. Theodore didn't like Katherine at all, even the Bagnall family's servants treated her badly. Right now, they were all making excuses to leave. Katherine put on a mask and gloves, then cleaned the room all by herself. When Maverick was around, he never let her lift a finger with any housework. After getting into this marriage alliance, she threw herself into everything just to please Theodore. Before, she had something to hold onto in her heart, so she didn't really feel how tough it was. But now, she felt wronged. But in just 13 days, she would finally be free. By the time the room was actually livable again, the sky outside had brightened up too. Exhausted, Katherine lay down and fell asleep right away but got woken up soon after by a knock on the door. When she opened it, there stood Theodore looking sharp and fully dressed. Katherine frowned. "Do you need something?" "Get ready. We're going to try on your wedding dress today," he said. Theodore looked calm as ever. There wasn't even a hint of joy on his face. It was like he was just checking off anoth- er task from his list. "I don't want to..." "Katherine, I'm not going to argue with you," Theodore said in a low voice. "There's got to be a limit to your jealousy and drama." He really thought her cold vibe was just because she was jealous of him and Isabelle. Katherine had no choice but to bite her tongue. "Fine, I'll change my clothes." As she walked over to the passenger side and reached for the door handle, Theodore stopped her. 49.2% 09:42 Chapter 3 288 iVouchers "Katherine, Belle hasn't been back in ages.
