Chapter 585
Vivian paused after speaking.
"If everything's fine, I'll take my leave." Her gaze swept over Theo. "Keep a close eye on the child. Accidents can be messy."
Theo nodded. "Thank you."
Vivian turned and walked out of the mall.
The moment she stepped outside, she froze.
Zero stood a short distance away.
"Master." Her voice tightened.
His piercing stare made her heart skip a beat.
He'd discovered she'd been following Theo.
"Come here." His tone was icy.
They moved to a secluded spot.
"Explain." Zero cut straight to the point.
Vivian bit her lower lip, her eyes instantly welling up.
"I just wanted to see..." Her voice cracked. "What kind of woman could capture your attention like this."
What she didn't say aloud was that this had been a warning.
If Theo dared cross the line, she wouldn't hesitate to make that child disappear.
"Don't play games." Zero saw right through her act.
Vivian pouted defensively. "I helped her find the kid."
But her heart sank.
Her master was actually protecting that woman.
Even though she was Zero's closest disciple.
"Don't let it happen again." His tone softened slightly. "Keep your identity hidden."
"Yes, Master." Secretly, she felt pleased.
This proved she still held a special place in his heart.
"Mission status?"
"Everything's arranged. No traces will lead back to you."
"Hmm."
......
Theo was still shaken.
"Theo, it's my fault for bringing you somewhere so crowded."
"Not your fault!" Theo shook his head. "I was the one who wandered off. But my new friends were so fun!"
"I'll bring you again next time." She ruffled his hair. "By the way, isn't your uncle your legal guardian now?"
"Yep!"
"Can you give me his number? Just in case of emergencies."
Theo's eyes darted thoughtfully. "Okay!"
He actually gave her the butler's number.
This way, he wouldn't expose his uncle while still having emergency contacts.
Vivian dialed the number.
"Hello." An elderly voice answered.
She blinked in surprise.
Theo's uncle sounded this old?
"Hello, this is Vivian. Theo must have mentioned me?"
The butler certainly knew about this "future aunt."
"Miss Vivian. Actually, I'm not..."
