The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098

He was so skilled that one would wonder if he was a doctor.

I looked at him with mixed feelings.

We had known each other for years. His appearance was the same, charming with defined facial features. He was still as charming as ever, yet his temperament had changed drastically.

A few years ago, Theo was young and frivolous, but now, he was mature and reliable. He was extremely fascinating regardless of which.

At this moment, I truly felt that I was not good enough for him.

I was too lost in thought that when Theo raised his head to look at me, it was too late to avoid his gaze.

When I met his deep and dark eyes, my heart skipped a beat and my face became uncontrollably hot.

I cleared my throat to mask my awkwardness. "Thanks for your help earlier. I won't hold you accountable for trespassing. You can go home now."

Theo sneered. "Why didn’t I realize before that you have a habit of getting rid of somebody once they cease to be useful?"

He pinched my chin after saying that, his face coming closer and closer. When our breaths intermingled with one another, my heart started beating uncontrollably fast.

Flustered, I retreated. "I'm not getting rid of you. You trespassing and you helping me are two completely different things."

I continued after a pause, "We have no more feelings for each other. When things are done here, let’s go back to Salt City to get a divorce."

I lay on the bed after saying that and turned my back to him.

The man did not say anything for a long time. There was no movement behind me either. I could not suppress my curiosity and turned around to look.

I saw him staring at me with eyes as dark a s the starry sky at night. My heart started beating abnormally again.

"Because of the baby? Or your parents?" he asked flatly.

Seeing the pain in his eyes, I was stunned.

After a long time, I said, "You think a child i s all we lost and what my parents and I have are just grudges. You don’t need to face any of these things because you don't think they’re worth worrying about. You probably think I don't care about these things and that I treat them as though they've never happened. You just want me t o be with you, right?"

Theo pursed my lips, not saying a word.

"You're just so selfish," I said with a face full of mockery.

"That's not what I think." Theo looked at m e without blinking. His gaze was deep and peaceful. "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness after hurting you, but I can’t stop myself from loving you. Even though I know I don't deserve you anymore, I still selfishly want to keep you by my side."

I froze after hearing his words, unable to explain what I was feeling for a while.

"If you insist on having freedom and starting anew, then I’ll let go." Theo’s voice was a little hoarse. "But you need someone t o take care of you right now. When you find someone who can take care of you one day, I'll leave and give you the life you want."

To hear the strong and domineering man say such words left me at a loss, making m y heart ache a little.

After a long silence, I slowly said," Remember what you said."

The rain lasted the whole night, and the sun that rose in the morning was bright and blinding.

When I woke up, Theo was not in the room. I fell asleep last night and did not know when he left.

I got out of bed and walked to the window, opening it.

The air was filled with the fragrant scent of the earth, and it was refreshing.

After standing in front of the window for a few minutes, I went to get washed up.

After going downstairs to make breakfast, I waited in the dining room for a very long time but did not see Jordan. I wondered if Jordan was having a lie-in.
