After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 1205

Extra Chapter Theodore's Story

Three years had passed in the blink of an eye. Theodore was released from prison. Time seemed neither long nor short. On the day before his release, he had specifically instructed the guards not to let anyone come to pick him up. He was too proud to let anyone see him in such a sorry state.

He got into a taxi and headed home.

The city had changed a lot over the past three years. Oscar never failed to impress him, and Northfield thrived under his leadership. As he drove through familiar streets, Theodore caught sight of Little Bunny's advertisement on a massive electronic screen. He smiled slightly at the thought of how well she must be doing these days before turning away and letting go of any further thoughts about her.

The taxi soon arrived at its destination, and Theodore walked into his villa.

As soon as he opened the door, to his surprise, he found everything was clean inside as if someone else had lived there recently. That was thanks to high-end housekeeping services available in this upscale neighbourhood, he thought. He didn't want any dust or dirt after just being released from prison; it would have been too much for him emotionally speaking.

He went straight into the bedroom and turned on the shower faucet without hesitation. Finally, he was able to take an unrestricted shower after so long behind bars. Theodore took quite some time washing thoroughly until he felt completely clean again. Then he looked at himself in front of a mirror. In his eyes, he was ugly with a buzz-cut hairdo with a dark skin tone plus some stubble here and there. He grabbed his razor blade, which seemed brand new as if no one ever used it before. After shaving off all facial hair cleanly, he also dried his hair and changed into a clean robe. Everything in his room looked new, for which Theodore even wanted to praise the housekeeping service staff members in person.

After finishing up his hygiene routines, Theodore went straight towards the kitchen area, where there were fresh juices stored inside the refrigerator compartment labelled with today's date indicating when they were freshly squeezed.

This small detail warmed up Theodore's heart. He then poured himself a cup of juice and came back to the sofa to watch TV. He didn't have much time to watch TV when he was in jail, only when it was lunch or dinner time. That was the first time he had felt contented already due partly because of having access once more to watching TV freely without restrictions.

Theodore switched channels randomly until finding something interesting enough worth watching then fell asleep shortly thereafter.

When he got up from the couch, it was dark outside. And he saw someone busy in his kitchen and smelled the aroma of food, which he was familiar with. He followed the full food flavour to the kitchen.

The cook seemed to greet him respectfully, "Mr Wold, did I wake you up?"

"I woke up hungry," Theodore said, "Are you the housekeeper?"

"Yes, sir, dinner will be ready soon."

Theodore nodded. Then he sat at the dining table and waited. He was so hungry that he salivated at the smell of food wafting through his nose.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before dish after dish of delicious cuisine was placed in front of him. Theodore took a bite and tears almost fell from his eyes. Suddenly he felt that life was worth living again. He ate quite a lot and even drank some beer.

When Theodore was full and satisfied, he asked, "How do I let your boss know that I'm very satisfied with your service?"

"It's my honour to satisfy you, sir." Said the housekeeper humbly.

"In future, I'll request you to provide me with housekeeping services."

"Thank you, Mr Wold, I will try my best to do better."

Theodore nodded then left the dining table to sit on the couch again while holding onto the remote control and watching TV. When he thought about whether or not to call Oscar, something caught his attention on screen-Little Bunny was receiving an award at an awards ceremony for Best Actress presented by Addison Chasey. They looked like a perfect couple on the screen. Theodore's heart still hurt when seeing them together but couldn't help but continue watching.

Addison transitioned into directing films. And as a new director, he presented the trophy to Little Bunny. When they were standing together on the stage, the audience made some noise while the host joked with them.

Theodore wondered if they had taken their relationship out in the open. But then he persuaded himself into their relationship with a reason that being in an open relationship would harm their popularity.

After Little Bunny and Addison hugged each other, she started delivering her acceptance speech. She began, " I didn't expect to win the Best Actress award. After being nominated so many times, this was the most relaxing time, but I didn't expect a surprise. Here, I would like to express my special gratitude to the organizers, the director, producer, screenwriter, and staff of the film, as well as to my agent and Mr Chasey, who is beside me."

As soon as she mentioned Addison, there was an uproar from the audience. Theodore was still watching the award show. When the camera faced Addison, tenderness could be seen in his eyes while he was looking at Little Bunny.

"When I was hesitant to take on this movie, it was Mr Chasey who gave me advice to break through myself. During the filming, he kept giving me confidence and encouragement, thank you." Little Bunny smiled gratefully at Addison.

At that moment, Theodore seemed to let go of something in his heart. As long as she was happy now, at least it was worth what he had done.

"At last, there is someone, in particular, I want to thank, someone the most important in my life, someone I miss so much..."

Before Little Bunny finished her words, Theodore changed the channel. He thought those moving acceptance speeches all stuck to the scripts. Anyway, he had got what he wanted to know-Little Bunny was living well.
