Chapter 3 Falling into Your Arms

Theodore—who was only focused his grandpa, Ethan Kingsley—quickly pulled him away from Evelyn and asked in a concerned tone, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

That is his grandpa! He is the unfilial grandson?

Evelyn subtly rolled her eyes at him.

Ethan ignored Theodore and tugged on Evelyn's arms like a child, looking at her eagerly as he said, "I want to eat steak. I'm hungry."

Theodore immediately coaxed him. "Grandpa, the steak here is not delicious. After we get back home, I'll let Aunt Garcia—it's you?!"

Evelyn realized that she was recognized by him, so she stretched out her arm and said, "Return it to me! "

"What?"

Due to a crowd that had gathered around them, Evelyn whispered softly, "The penis."

Theodore, unable to understand her and not wanting to dawdle, turned around and dragged his grandpa away forcefully after seeing that he refused to move.

"Stop there!" Evelyn cut him off and smiled cheerily at Ethan. "Grandpa, the fragrant and tasty steak will be here in a minute."

Upon hearing that, Ethan immediately shrugged off Theodore and ran to Evelyn with a silly grin.

"Grandpa!" Theodore shouted to stop his grandpa but it was to no avail. Annoyed, he turned and asked Evelyn, "What are you doing?"

At this point in time, Lucas who got the short end of the stick already slipped away. Evelyn signaled Ethan to sit down at an adjacent table and turned to Theodore while shrugging her shoulders. "Harboring such evil intent to try and kidnap my grandpa, shouldn't I be the one asking what do you want?"

"Your grandpa?!" Theodore could see the cunning intent in Evelyn's eyes. As such, he raised his eyebrows with interest and said. "Just like that you want to claim my grandpa as your own grandpa? You think it is so easy to be my—Theodore's—woman? Look at your figure... Oh please!"

Upon hearing that, people who surrounded them burst into a commotion. "Theodore? SkyForge Group's President?"

"No wonder he looks so familiar to me."

"I did not expect this dorky looking old man to be the influential and big shot Mr. Kingsley back in the days of Arlington!"

"Indeed. Time and tide waits for no man!"

Being ridiculed like that made Evelyn embarrassed and shameful, but at the same time, these discussions made her even more flustered as she did not expect the person she was provoking was the CEO of SkyForge Group!

This person was not someone she could afford to mess around with.

Then again, all she wanted was to get back Morris's penis in order to complete Morris's body. Was that also wrong?

Morris represented her feelings toward her brother Martin Hunt, thus if Morris was incomplete, her feelings were also incomplete. This was the only object her brother left behind for her to reminisce about.

Theodore saw her lower her head and how she kept silent as a sign of compromise so he went ahead and dragged his grandpa once more.

However, like a startled kid, his grandpa tried to shake him off as hard as he possibly could before proceeding to hide behind Evelyn while shivering and trembling in fear. Evelyn opened her arms out like a mother hen protecting her chicks, blocking Theodore's way and not letting him come close.

That broke the last straw and Theodore finally could not take it anymore. With a dark solemnity in his face and a somber tone, he asked, "What do you actually want?"

With a weak voice, Evelyn replied, "I just want the penis back."

"What penis?"

"Shhh—the crossroad intersection, remember?" Evelyn awkwardly reminded him. "As long as you return the penis back to me, I'll immediately let your grandpa go back with you."

Theodore finally realized what she meant. With a scowl, he asked, "Isn't that useless piece of toy with you?"

"I accidentally threw it in your car."

Realization dawned on Theodore. After a pause, he replied, "You could have said so earlier. I changed cars with my friend on the way here, and currently, he is out of town."

"When will he be back?"

"That is hard to say. Maybe tonight, or maybe tomorrow morning. Nonetheless, I would ask my friend to keep the penis in safe hands. Give me your phone number and I will call you once he is back. Is that okay?"

After giving her phone number to him, she uneasily asked, "You are a big CEO of a big corporation, so you wouldn't play a fool out of me right?"

Theodore casually laughed. "That useless piece of toy might mean the world to you, but it is completely useless to me."

The meaning implied in his words made Evelyn flushed, but she had no word to retort.

Luckily, Theodore did not continue with the conversation but instead said, "I have to bring my grandpa home."

"Alright." Evelyn shifted aside and handed Ethan over.

Who would have thought that Ethan actually refused to move and clinged onto her arms. Pouting, he asked, "Little missy, you don't want me anymore?"

Little missy? The old man previously took Morris as his grandson, so now who does he mistake me as?

Evelyn was stunned and dumbfounded.

At the same time, Theodore leaned closer to her and whispered, "How about this? Accompany me to send grandpa home."

"No way!" She refused right off the bat.

How could a lady follow a man back so casually?

"You don't want the penis?"

Evelyn angrily replied, "Didn't we come to a consensus beforehand already?"

"Verbal statements with no black and white proof does not mean anything."

"You!"

"Just help me out. This is my name card." Theodore softened his tone. "Grandpa was diagnosed with brain atrophy, so he has to get home now and take his medication, or his condition would worsen."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn felt it would be against her conscience to refuse so she accepted the name card. However, at the same time, she could not hold herself back and went off in a fit of pique questioning. "Are you begging me?"

Theodore nonchalantly avoided the questions and answered, "I will give my friend a call now and ask him to deliver the penis back right away."

Realizing the threat from his reply, Evelyn was left with no choice, and helplessly turned around to say to Ethan. "Grandpa, let's head home."

"Okay! Let's go home, go home." Ethan instantly danced around with joy and purposely held onto Evelyn's hands tightly.

While being on the call, Theodore stared deeply in thought at the view of Evelyn's back.

In Arlington, other than his grandpa, nobody dared to raise their voice at him, let alone bargain.

This tiny little girl.

Half an hour later, Evelyn stood outside the massive door of his house, baffled and dazed. She knew that his family was rich, but it didn't cross her mind that the house they lived in could be so luxurious, even more flashy than all the 5-star hotels she had seen before. And this made her extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.

After sending Ethan into the house, she wanted to turn around and leave immediately. Little did she know, Theodore was right on her heels and she crashed right into his arms. That gave her a huge shock, and she hurriedly pushed him away.

To her surprise, Theodore took advantage of the situation and hugged her tightly instead, letting his warm and moist lips brush across her face up to her ears as he playfully teased. "So anxious to throw yourself into my arms?"

Shocked and flustered, Evelyn struggled and murmured, "Let go of me!"

Theodore smiled mischievously. "What if I don't let go?"

"You are such a ruff...."

Before she could even complete her sentence, she was cut off by a loud screaming voice. "Throw this shameless woman out of the house!"

The next moment, she was dragged violently out of Theodore's arms. Without given enough time to react, she had already been shoved out of the door, causing her to stumble and fall onto the ground.
