The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052

He was tall and had blocked out most of the light.

I felt pressured and said a little impatiently, "It's all in the past now. There's nothing to say about it."

"What do you mean by there's nothing to say?"

Theo roared angrily. "Are you going to play me like a fool? Even if you don't like me, I'm still your husband now, aren't I? As your husband, don't I have the right t o know these things?"

I had never seen him behaving like this before, where his anger had reached the extreme. It was like he was about to break down at any moment.

After falling silent for a long time, I said in a hoarse voice, "You do."

Theo let go of me. I turned around and looked at the glistening river surface while saying slowly, "After leaving Whaldorf City, I first went to Zenon to visit the child. Later, I went to Riverbank City and found a job."

He listened quietly. Later, I told him everything that happened after I was taken away without any reservation.

Theo fell silent for a very long time after listening.

After the long silence, he looked at me and said, "I

won't stop you from doing the things you like, but you must know that you have a husband and shouldn't be with Jordan. If someone finds out about this, then you should know what kind of storm you'll stir."

Theo and I were husband and wife, so I certainly knew that I would start a wave of public opinion being with Jordan now.

However, I did not have a better choice back then as I had just returned to the country.

I lowered my gaze and said blandly, “This isn't a problem we should be discussing right now. I wanted t o leave quietly at first, but it looks like it isn’t possible at all. I guess we do need to talk about the things between us."

The man's gaze was deep and bright, tinged with a tad of warmth and determination. "Okay."

We sat down on a bench, watching the breeze blowing over the ripples on the surface of the river. I gently sighed. “Theo, I've never thought of getting back together with you since the day I decided to leave Whaldorf City. The only reason why I didn't mention getting a divorce is that I think we were already divorced five years ago. We automatically divorced after living separately for three years, and that's the law. Hence, our marriage has always been just nominal.”

Theo's expression sank as he looked at me with pitch-black eyes. "Have you never stood in my shoes? Is that why you can say these things so effortlessly? Or is it

because you never loved me?"

I pursed my lips, my heart throbbing in pain. "Just treat it as I never loved you, then."

Theo took my hand and squeezed it very tightly.

I felt the pain but did not struggle. Looking up at him, I said, "There's a shelf life for everything, and that applies to relationships too. I can be quite contemptible sometimes. If I can't get something, then I’ll want it no matter what. But after getting it, I'll stop thirsting for it. Let's not talk about how you've trampled on me in those three years. I can never get over the fact that you set my parents up

and killed my child. Therefore, I can no longer bring myself to keep living with you, let alone continue to love you."

I did not know how much hurt this would bring to Theo, but I knew that it was enough to force him to leave.

Looking at his sullen and frosty face, I continued, "In fact, I only liked you because of your money and good looks. Back then, I could let go of the past. Even if I didn't love you, I could continue to pretend that I did. Women are born to act, right?"

Theo's complexion was awfully dark. "Are you even listening to yourself?”

I pursed my lips and said flatly, "Of course, I am."
