Chapter 407 Investigating Each Other
Alexander and Theodore were leisurely fishing by the pond, and they had quite a good catch.
"Theodore," Alexander suddenly called out, smiling, "How about I introduce you to a girlfriend? You've been single for too long; I'm worried it's not good for your health."
Theodore laughed and said, "Thanks, but I'm fine on my own."
"Don't be like that, just take a look. The girl has pretty good qualities."
"My mom is the way she is, you know that. I don't want to bring trouble upon myself," Theodore said helplessly.
Alexander glanced at him and asked, "What if you find the girl you had a one-night stand with? What then?"
Theodore was silent for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "We'll see when I find her. I don't seem to be that obsessed anymore."
Ever since Angela found that fake girl who supposedly had a one-night stand with him, his desire had suddenly diminished.
Alexander said sympathetically, "Your mom is too strict about your marriage."
Theodore smiled weakly.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lillian suddenly shouted from behind, causing Alexander's fishing rod to move and ripples to spread across the water.
"Honey, you scared the fish away."
Lillian looked at the bucket filled with several fish and said happily, "Not bad, you've caught quite a few."
"Grilled fish for lunch," Alexander said.
Lillian played with the fish in the bucket using a small twig and asked, "Should we call Caspian and Tom to see if they're done and invite them over?"
Theodore said, "Tom's not around, and I haven't seen Caspian these past few days. No idea what he's up to."
"That's strange," Lillian said, tossing the twig aside. "Well, let's eat."
In a house.
Caspian sat on the couch, looking serious as he examined some photos and documents. A person stood in front of him, reporting.
"Mr. Wade, based on our investigation, the project Amos took over passed all previous inspections. His daily routine is either going to the company or being with Evelyn. Nothing unusual. However, he visits Brenda's house three times a month but doesn't stay long. Everything seems calm."
Caspian looked at the photos in his hand, "That's it? Did you have someone follow up at the project site? No issues?"
"Yes, no issues."
"When will Amos's project be completed?"
"If things go well, around May."
Caspian nodded silently and ordered, "Keep following him!"
"Yes, sir."
After the person left, Caspian looked at the photos again, showing Evelyn and Amos walking closely together, both with bright smiles.
At that moment, his heart didn't feel as hurt as before; worry had taken over.
At Brenda's place.
"It's the weekend, why are you here? Aren't you afraid Evelyn will find out and get mad at you?" Brenda asked.
Amos smiled, "Evelyn is well-behaved, not like you." He teased, pulling her into his arms.
"Baby, just wait a little longer, it's almost over."
Brenda found a comfortable position in his arms and said, "Caspian has people following you every day, investigating you. I'm worried your criminal evidence will be exposed, and you'll end up with nothing."
"He's not the only one who can investigate," Amos sneered. "I'm not stupid either. Last time we got caught by Evelyn, we need to be more careful next time."
"Who knew Evelyn had such capable people around her," Brenda said. "But we've got her social network firmly in our hands. By the way, have you arranged everything at Joseph's company?"
"Don't worry," Amos said confidently.
At the gathering, everyone happily ate grilled fish. In the evening, they each drove home.
Angela had come with Theodore in his car, and they went back together as well.
On the way home, they got stuck in traffic and started chatting.
"Angela, did you change your perfume? It's not the same as before," Theodore asked.
Angela teased, "It's because of you. Ever since you rejected my patient who sells perfume, she hasn't been friendly to me, so I ran out of my usual perfume."
Angela sniffed her wrist and asked, "Does this one smell bad? My boyfriend gave it to me; he likes it."
Theodore smiled and said, "This scent is fresh and elegant, not bad, but not as good as the previous one. The old one was mesmerizing."
Angela laughed and joked, "Mr. Wellington, are you saying you were always mesmerized when you saw me before?"
Theodore smiled silently and teased her, "Being in a relationship has changed you; you can joke now."
"Mr. Wellington, I think you should also start dating. Aren't you tired of being so serious all the time?"
"Not tired, I'm used to it."
Angela shrugged, and suddenly her phone rang. It was Ivan calling, and she happily answered.
Theodore watched Angela happily chatting on the phone and felt a bit jealous. Maybe he really should find a girlfriend.
Wendy rode with Lillian and was dropped off at home.
After tidying up, she had just laid down when she received a call from Aaron.
"Baby, where did you go today?"
Wendy, afraid her parents would hear, whispered under the covers, "I went to Lillian's estate today and just got home."
"The crew finished early today. I'm exhausted; we shot action scenes all day," Aaron complained over the phone. "How are you going to comfort me tomorrow?"
"What?" Wendy asked in confusion, "You're coming back tomorrow?"
"I've already asked the director for two days off," Aaron said. "Are you happy?"
Wendy said, "I'm happy, but I have to work tomorrow, so I can't be with you during the day."
"I'll come back in the morning and take a nap, then visit you at lunch and pick you up after work. Where do you want to go in the evening?"
"I don't have any particular place in mind. We'll decide tomorrow. You should rest early tonight."
Aaron and Wendy chatted sweetly for a while before hanging up.
Wendy lay flat on the bed, hands crossed over her chest, thinking about where to go with Aaron tomorrow. She muttered to herself, "Where should we go tomorrow?"
'Dating a celebrity isn't something just anyone can do; it's inconvenient and long-distance. I also wanted to ask him about his scandals tomorrow.' Wendy closed her eyes, pondering carefully.
But the thought of seeing him tomorrow made her especially happy.
