They got married. As long as she took the time to touch his heart, even the most indifferent person could be moved.
She gave Theron a gentle smile and introduced herself.
“Theron, this is Gabriel, the head of the technical department in the factory. I am now also a member of the technical department, thanks to Gabriel’s appreciation and promotion.”
Theron heard that, raised his hand and patted the snow on Johanna’s hair, “That’s great, you’re in the tech department, so you can have an easier time.”
Gabriel sized up Theron and Johanna.
He climbed up the social ladder through his wife’s family, he doesn’t have any feelings for his wife. So he knows very well what a marriage without feelings is like, just like the couple in front of us.
“Since Theron came to pick up Johanna, I’ll leave first and not disturb you two as a couple.”
He finished speaking, then hopped on the car and left.
Johanna watched Gabriel leave and immediately couldn’t wait to distance herself, saying, “Gabriel is a really nice guy, very caring. He knew I was pregnant and didn’t have any family here to take care of me, so he always looked out for me at work.”
Although Theron was holding her hand, his mind was clearly elsewhere, just absentmindedly answered.

Johanna bit her lip hard, feeling upset. “Doesn’t he care at all?” she thought. “Or does he just not care who he gets close to?”
On the way to the Equinox Research Institute, the two of them didn’t say a word.
When I arrived at the Research Institute Residential Building, the messenger came running over in a hurry.
“Theron, there’s a phone call for you at home.” He saw Johanna, “Johanna is here too.”
Theron nodded and said to Johanna, “I’m going to make a phone call, you go back first, be careful on the way.”
After saying that, he let go of Johanna’s hand and quickly followed the messenger, walking away.
Johanna held her stomach and watched his back as he left. “Doesn’t his family even let me go with him when they call?”
If it was Lizzie, he would actively have Lizzie answer the phone at his house and have Lizzie blend into his family, right?
She bit her lip, a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she walked back home alone.
I pushed open the door, snow was falling in the yard and hadn’t been swept, the house was dark with no lights on, no smoke from the chimney, obviously Theron came back and didn’t do anything.
He was gone for almost half a month, and when he came back, he didn’t help with anything!
She was feeling both resentful and angry in her heart, she walked a few steps into the room and slammed the door.

But thinking about the last time she went back to Sorto Village and upset Vanessa and Theron, and also considering the baby in her belly, she still managed to suppress her emotions.
She wanted to get along with Theron, so she went to the kitchen and started a fire to cook.
She had just lit the fire in the stove, added water to the pot, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Johanna knew Theron was back. She held her slightly bulging belly and said softly, “Theron, you’re back. My stomach feels a bit heavy and uncomfortable. Can you make dinner tonight?”
Theron was really pissed off. His family just called and asked why he hadn’t sent back his salary for this month yet.
He went on a mission, but Johanna held onto his salary and didn’t send a penny home!
When he saw Johanna holding her waist and sticking out her belly, looking so delicate, that anger was forcefully suppressed by him.
He took a deep breath, didn’t say anything, silently walked into the kitchen, and started cooking by making a fire.
The meal was ready quickly, with one dish and one soup.
Johanna, like any other couple, waited for Theron to finish cooking before she went to the kitchen to set the table.
Not until they were both seated at the table did Johanna notice that Theron didn’t look well.
“Theron, what’s wrong with you? You look so pale.”
Theron put down his utensils and looked at her, “I got paid at the end

of last month, why didn’t you send any money home?”
Upon hearing this, Johanna’s face first turned pale, then her eyes welled up with tears.
“I… I had only been working in the factory for half a month, and I hadn’t even received my salary yet. We had just moved to a new house, and setting up a new home requires money everywhere. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, I have to give some gifts to the leaders in the factory, to maintain good relationships, you know?”
