The next day, I found that Theo had already left.

As expected, Theo and I started another silent treatment, ignoring each other.

Every day, I still had endless dinner invitations, just like before.

I enjoyed playing murder mystery games, singing at karaoke bars, and going on off-road adventures.

Thanks to Theo's financial support, my hobbies are extremely diverse. Even if there's a popular food in a certain area, I can go and eat it with a few good friends, and Theo naturally foots the bill.

After several days, I finally realized that this time Theo didn't take the initiative to make peace.

If it were before, he would have found a reason to make peace with me a long time ago, but not this time.

My credit card has never been suspended, so I know Theo must be holding back, wanting me to give him another chance.

It's been about a week, and I'm thinking of giving him another chance. He's actually quite pitiful.

As a financial person, I work long hours every day and my life is boring. It's nothing like my buddies who enjoy the freedom of youth.

At noon, I picked up Oliver from school and took a photo with him at a dessert shop near the school.

I deliberately showed off Oliver's well-defined arm muscles and captioned it on Instagram: [Warm coffee, warm as the palm of your hand.]

I just wanted to annoy Theo for not talking to me for so long!

I wanted him to know that I'm not just any ordinary woman. There are plenty of people pursuing me.

But when I posted it on Instagram, Theo didn't immediately send me a questioning message like he used to on WhatsApp.

Instead, a lot of my good friends liked it, and several asked me where I was, but none of them were from Theo.

Instead of feeling relieved, I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart.

It's like accidentally losing something very important.

I held my phone and stared blankly, it took me a while to react when Oliver called me.

"Irvin, what are you daydreaming about?" Oliver reached out and lifted my chin, turning my face towards him.

"What are you doing!" I shook off Oliver's hand and suddenly felt repulsed by his face.

The whole afternoon, Theo ignored me, as if he hadn't seen my Instagram.

I started to feel uneasy in my heart. In the evening, I called Theo. "Theo, let's have dinner together after work."

"No, I have to work overtime at the company today." Theo said in a flat tone.
