Chapter 2429
Delia had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, she looked at Theo pitifully as if I had done something heinous to her. "President Grant..."
Theo's eyes quickly returned to me once again.
He looked at me questioningly, but I did not say anything.
"Keith, have someone escort Miss Owens out."
The moment he said that, Keith pushed open the door and entered before leading the reluctant Delia away.
He then closed the door slowly, cutting off all the prying eyes on the other side of the door.
"This entire situation has been a ploy since the start, no?" I asked almost all too eagerly.
I was not sure what I was actually hoping for either.
While I looked calm about this matter on the surface, how could I actually truly be calm deep down as a woman?
The man in front of me was my husband!
He was someone I wanted to entrust myself to for the rest of my life.
"What ploy?"
Theo looked surprised and was even subconsciously avoiding my gaze.
"Delia's pregnancy and the charity reception that night, these were not accidents. Someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Delia's objective is not just simply to become Madam Grant."
I knew I had to lay everything out directly. I did not know what Theo was thinking, but my thoughts were simple.
If there really were people coming after Theo in the dark, then they were also coming for me.
We were husband and wife. We were one in the same.
Who would believe me if I were to tell them that we were not on the same team?
Not to mention we both had children together.
"You pushing me away non-stop at the start was to keep me from getting dragged into this situation, no?"
After figuring out this matter, almost everything Theo did before this made sense.
Delia's origin was not simple.
It was likely that even Theo had no idea about it.

He sighed and walked toward me before pulling me into his embrace. I could smell the familiar, soothing scent.
Only then did my tense nerves relax completely.
Theo's embrace always gave me a sense of security regardless of when it was given. It was like as long as I was in his arms, nothing would hurt me no matter what happened.
"You hit the nail on the head. I should have known you'd be so smart and that you'd be able to tell."
He put his chin on my forehead, and his warmth was practically drowning me." actions had indeed been
deliberate. I did it to protect you and the children."
Making guesses was one thing, and hearing it from Theo himself was another.
I subconsciously grasped Theo's sleeves tightly. "So, someone is really targeting you? What's going on with Delia?"
Just who was doing all this?
Why did they have Delia get close to Theo?
Just what was their goal?
"I don't know. I have no answers to your questions."
Theo took a deep breath. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest clearly.
He never let up on his hug around me until he was trapping me in his embrace tightly.
"I'm sorry, Wanda."
