Chapter 249: The Go-Ahead Signal
"Are you alright?" Thea asked a bit alarmed when she saw dark circles under Jeru’s eyes during their breakfast. He seemed to be deprived of sleep.
’He must be worried about Keira,’ she thought. "I’m sure Keira is safe. She’s with Zach, and he won’t let anything happen to her. Leon’s body had multiple gunshot wounds on it, and I’m quite sure it was Zach who put them there," she comforted him.
Jeru sighed and unconsciously nodded in acknowledgment. He continued to eat, but then paused and murmured, "Don’t mind me. I’m just exhausted from work. I left a lot of projects hanging when I was away."
’Liar!’ his inner thought chided.
Yes, he was lying. The real reason for his sleepless nights was Thea’s words in the morning of the day they registered their marriage.
"About my duties to you, as a wife... I really don’t mind to do it. I mean, all of it..."
Those words had been haunting him in the past few days. He even replayed the CCTV footage to check if he heard it right.
For sure, he heard it well. And if he understood what Thea meant correctly, she had given him the ’go-ahead’ signal.
Jeru stole glances at Thea every now and then. He would really like to confirm his assumption and make sure they were on the same page because he did not want any misunderstandings between them. But he didn’t really know how to bring it up.
