NovelBookChapter 274 Laughter Theo's voice was cool, but deep in his eyes, a trace of sadness flickered, almost imperceptible.
Sierra shook her head slightly as she explained in a gloomy tone, "Our marriage isn't like that of others. We didn't get married because we love each other. If one day you meet someone you truly like, we could get divorced at any time." If they didn't make their relationship public, no one would know when they obtained a divorce. It would save them both a lot of trouble.
Understanding her reasoning, Theo released her chin and gently placed his hand on her head, letting out a helpless sigh. "We've only been married for a week, and you're already thinking about divorce. I don't know whether to be happy or sad about you being so considerate." "Hm?" Sierra picked up on the fact that he wasn't angry and looked at him in confusion.

Feeling his hand press down slightly on her head, she blinked innocently. After a brief pause, she asked softly, "So... is it okay?" The large hand on her head ruffled her hair twice, turning her soft curls into a messy fluff. Then, his voice came, steady and firm. "I don't see why we should hide our marriage from anyone." Just as she thought about how to convince him, he added, "But I'll respect your choice. If you don't want to make it public, we won't—at least not until our wedding ceremony." She breathed a sigh of relief, too relieved to even care that he'd messed up her hair. She didn't even catch the condition he had added at the end-only the part where their marriage wouldn't go public.
The next morning, she was still deep asleep when her phone rang, dragging her out of her dreams.
Without opening her eyes, she answered groggily, "Hello?" Theo furrowed his brows slightly and lifted his right arm to cover his eyes as his mind gradually cleared.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing he did was turn to look at Sierra. He lifted his left arm, which had been pinned under her, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Boohoo Sierra, I just got dumped! "That bastard waited until I was out of town to book a hotel room with someone else. I caught him red-handed, and he still had the nerve to deny it..." On the other end of the call, Madison's voice was full of grievance, her complaints instantly waking Sierra up. The first thing she saw as soon as she opened her eyes was Theo's handsface. She was startled for a moment before quickly composing herself and comforting Madison in a soothing voice. "Don't cry. I'll csee you in a bit, okay?" Hearing that she was planning to go out, Theo asked in a low voice, "Do you not have any classes today?" Sierra nodded. Then, she shook her head, pointing to her phone and whispering, "I'll take the day off." At spoint, Madison had gone quiet on the other end. After the two of them finished their exchange, she suddenly asked, "Is there a man with you? Who is it?" Her energetic voice cut through the speaker, ringing clearly through the bedroom. Sierra rubbed her forehead and squeezed her eyes shut. She was too embarrassed to look at Theo.
It was mortifying.

"Madison, what nonsense are you talking about? You were just crying about your breakup, and now you're plying into my business? You're unbelievable... I'll see you soon." Sierra ended the call in frustration before Madison could say another word.
"Heh." She heard a low chuckle while still holding her phone. Looking up, she saw Theo watching her with amusement.
Fresh out of sleep, his usually sleek hair was slightly tousled, and he m radiated a lazy, relaxed air. The sharpness he carried during the day was completely gone, making him seem much more approachable. She glared at him and huffed, "What's so funny? Hmph." As Theo watched Sierra storm out of bed in a huff, his smile grew even softer, and his gaze was indulgent.
By the tshe finished getting dressed and cdownstairs, he rs, he had already eaten breakfast. The moment he saw her, he mentioned, "Have your meal. I'll get changed and take you there in a bit."
