Chapter 1033

The man then hummed indifferently before hanging u p the phone.

He put the phone aside and was a little stunned when he saw me staring at him. Then, he asked me calmly," Are you unwell?”

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

My body just felt limp and my head was dizzy. I would not consider it as being unwell.

I looked out the car window and asked faintly, "Where are you taking me?”

He probably did not have a property in Hommiton City, so he must be taking me to a hotel.

Theo did not answer the question and merely said, " Close your eyes and rest if you feel unwell."

I pursed my lips and cast my mind back to the time when I first married him. I was stubborn and foolish. I did many ridiculous things at the time. I could not help but smile at the thought of that.

Theo looked at me and asked with a frown, "What are you smiling at?"

I shook my head. "When I was in university, I planned t o go to Zenon with Cecilia after our graduation. I didn't

have any ambitious plans for my life and merely wanted to go to Zenon to find a nine-to-five job with Cecilia and live happily ever after."

I looked at Theo and let out a self-deprecating smile. "I didn't expect Mother to beg Grandma to let me marry you. This marriage has bound us together for life. I thought it was a blessing, so it's hard not to think that I’m not worthy of you sometimes. I begged Grandma to let me join Grant Corporation but she didn't agree. Instead, she made me run a very small entertainment company

under Grant Corporation. I understood Grandma’s intentions, so I gladly ran the company, hoping to make some achievements. That way, I'd finally be worthy of you."

I continued after a pause, "When I first joined the company, the managers there looked down on me and thought that I was managing a company without knowing anything. They thought it was a joke. It was the truth, though. I was a fresh graduate at the time and had zero knowledge of everything. They sent me t o have business dealings with the old bosses, and I attended all of them. Although I was a poor drinker and would feel unwell for several days each time, I thought I might never be worthy enough to stand beside you if I did not do so and did not achieve anything."

Theo held my hand but I withdrew it. I looked at him and said with a faint smile, “I didn't think life was tough at the time. Now that I think about it, it didn’t feel bitter either. On the contrary, I think it was a good experience because there was at least a time in my youth when I worked so hard for something. If I had made full use of Grandma’s support at the time and just became a pampered young mistress at home, I would never have known what it feels like to be a president of a company.”

Thinking about it now, I seemed to be living more and more regressively over the years. It had been a long time since I worked so hard to improve myself.

I looked out the car window, a sense of frustration springing up in my heart.

I did not understand why I insisted on leaving Theo even when I could not let go of him, but I finally understood why. Not being able to give him a child was one, but it was also because I was afraid that I would become like Cindy.

I saw my past self in Elena. She was so much like me i n the past when I put in so much effort in my work and relationships.

As for the version of myself that was being so delicately protected by Theo now, it was exactly what Cindy was like before.

She was too well-protected by Theo, just like a princess living in a castle. She gradually lost her goals and dreams. Theo was the only person left in her world.

I was afraid that I would end up like her, so I took the liberty of leaving Whaldorf City and Theo's side.

I came to Riverbank City in search of the person I once was to make life more worthwhile.

Who would have thought that I would be taken abroad and almost died?

It was fortunate that I made it back alive, so it was still not too late. I did not need to live like a canary caged i n Theo's villa, nor did I need to rely on his glory. I could work hard to live the life I wanted.

The car came to a halt in front of a hotel. Theo got out of the car and walked around to the front passenger seat to open the door.

I was just about to get out when he bent down to carry me out of the car.

His movements were so fluid that I already found myself being carried into the hotel before I even realized what was happening.

I started struggling in his arms and said with a face full of anger, "Let me down, Theo."
