Chapter 198
He just wanted to ask her, “Didn’t you change companies? How come you suddenly appeared here?”
He didn’t say a word, then Tabitha spoke again, “You already have a wife now. If you keep messing around with Lizzie like this, how do you think others will see Lizzie? Theron, there’s a saying that goes ‘you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.‘ Who are you trying to impress with this emotional act now?”
Tabitha was very rude.
She had never met Lizzie before, but she had heard about the two of
them.
At that time, she felt sorry for Lizzie, not because she missed Theron, but because it was a pity that such a good girl was overlooked.
Just then, Tabitha, with sharp eyes, spotted Johanna and Gabriel walking side by side in the distance.
The two of them chatted and laughed, with Johanna even showing a hint of shyness on her face, while Gabriel was very attentive and
considerate.
Tabitha thought about how she often saw the two of them being affectionate together at the factory, and a hint of disdain flashed in her
eyes.
“But hey, I see you two are pretty much the same. But that’s between you two, don’t come and cause trouble for a good girl again.”
“Come on, Lizzie, don’t mind him.”

Tabitha pulled Lizzie’s arm and said with a serious tone, “Lizzie, you’re young and may not understand some things. Men’s words are like deceiving ghosts, don’t easily trust them.”
She finished speaking, then seemed to think it was a bit presumptuous to say that to someone she had just met, and smiled apologetically.
“You know, it’s only our first day meeting each other, so I might be getting a bit too deep with what I’m saying. Don’t take it the wrong way.”
Lizzie looked at Tabitha with concern on her face and sincerity in her eyes. Just like the Tabitha in her past life who gave her warmth when she needed it the most.
Her heart warmed, and a faint smile appeared on her face, “Tabitha, I know.”
“Hey, I just felt like we really hit it off, so I rambled on a bit. Hope you don’t mind,” Tabitha said cheerfully.
“I don’t mind,” Lizzie shrugged, nodding towards Theron, “but aren’t you afraid of getting your family in trouble by saying that?”
She remembered, “Tabitha’s man was a soldier under Theron.”
She wanted to keep a low profile when meeting Tabitha, but Tabitha turned out to be very outgoing.
“My man doesn’t listen to him!” Tabitha said, tossing her head and looking pretty proud.
Then she leaned down and whispered in Lizzie’s ear, “And, he doesn’t even work hard outside, relying on his wife and children to save face for him. Is he not embarrassed?”
Lizzie just laughed, “Tabitha was right.”

Theron’s eyes followed Lizzie as she left, not noticing Johanna.
He didn’t realize until Johanna walked past him, blocking his view of Lizzie, then he called out.
“Johanna.”
Johanna was walking alongside Gabriel, laughing and chatting, when suddenly she heard a shout and got a fright.
She suddenly turned around and saw Theron standing behind her, looking at her with a serious expression.
“Theron? How come you’re back all of a sudden?” Johanna almost instinctively moved away from Gabriel beside her.
Theron’s gaze shifted towards Lizzie in the distance, not noticing Johanna’s forced smile or the subtle change in distance between her and Gabriel.
Or maybe he just didn’t care.
His gaze involuntarily flicked back in the direction Lizzie had left, but she had disappeared into the snowy night in the distance, gone without
a trace.
At this point, he finally looked back and said, “The task was completed ahead of schedule. Since it’s snowing, I came to pick you up on the way.”
Gabriel’s gaze shifted between Theron and Johanna, with a hint of a mysterious smile, “So this is Theron, huh? Johanna talks about you all the time. But you guys just got married, why do you look a bit awkward, not as close as other couples?”
Johanna’s cheeks turned slightly pale, and she awkwardly bit her lower lip.

Theron’s gaze fell on Johanna’s slightly awkward face, seeing her vulnerable yet stubborn look, his heart softened a bit.
He reached out and, wearing thick cotton gloves, held Johanna’s hand.
“Gabriel, right? We had just gotten married. She’s a bit shy, so she didn’t want me to call her anything else.”
He looked at Johanna, but his eyes were cold and he reluctantly called out to her.
“Johanna, I came to pick you up and take you home.”
Her name was pronounced by him with a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
But when Johanna heard him call her name, not in a distant tone anymore, a hint of joy swept through her heart.
