Chapter 240: Great Ancestors
"Here drink this," Gavin said with a hot chocolate in his hand.
"Thanks," Thea accepted it. Gavin was a sweet guy who often looked after her at work and would assist her every now and then, like a real gentleman.
"It’s nice that you are back. I’ve asked the production team to get a replacement for me soon since I want to focus more on writing from now on," Gavin explained to which Thea creased her forehead.
Gavin had mentioned before that he was considering quitting the anchor position, however, she was still surprised to hear his words just now because she had never thought that he was serious about it. "Are you sure? I mean, you have a great career as the prime news anchor, and people love seeing you on television... I think you need to rethink this."
Gavin sighed. Thea was right, but he needed a break from his current job as it was starting to stifle him, and so far writing had been something that was helping him go through his current situation. So he would rather take a break to focus on it while traveling around the world.
"Hmm, something looks different about you," he commented as he stared at Thea. "What?" Thea asked and fixed herself, feeling self-conscious all of a sudden.
"Hmm, I don’t know, but you look brighter... perhaps beautiful?" Gavin said with hesitation, as though he was still thinking of the most proper word to describe it. Thea lifted one eyebrow and said, "Are you saying I was not beautiful before, Gavin?"
Gavin laughed and said, "Of course not. You know you are beautiful, it’s just that you look more stunning... Ahh yeah, right, I think glowing is the right word."
"Glowing?" Thea asked. Gavin nodded as he added, "Yeah, you look more relaxed now. Before, your eyes were always soulless but now they’re bright and it makes your face glow. I’m really glad to see this change. I can feel that something good has happened to you..."
Thea had always felt comfortable around Gavin and she considered him a good friend, so without a second thought she told him that she got married to Jeru Liu this morning and they were already expecting a baby.
"What?!" Gavin blurted out in disbelief and Thea confirmed it with her sweetest smile. "Since when were you close with him? Do you know what a terror his grandmother is?" Gavin asked because his family knew the Liu’s and he personally knew how forceful and harsh the Old Madam Liu could be.
"How do you know her?" Thea asked out of curiosity.
