The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196

Maybe we had not met for a long time and had grown distant, so he was not standing very close to me.

There was a street lamp behind him. Under the bright light, his charm grew deeper and more obscure. His weariness was faintly showing.

I pursed my lips and mildly said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Zimmer.”

Matthew faintly smiled. "Not a coincidence at all. I've been looking everywhere for you.'

I did not know what to say for a moment, and after thinking about it, I said, "Thanks for the concern, Mr. Zimmer."

Matthew's gaze deepened. "You don't seem happy to see me."

« U

I responded with silence.

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to see you to check on you and see how you’ve been doing." Matthew's voice was deep and low.

I lowered my eyes. "I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking, Mr. Zimmer."

The smile on Matthew's face grew stiff. "I’ll keep waiting for you. There's plenty of time left in this lifetime. I hope I can one day see you come to me. It’s fine even if you don’t come. I’ll get to you first in the next lifetime."

A car stopped behind him at this time. The window at the back rolled down, and the

man looked in our direction.

I was a little shocked, but after I was done feeling shocked, I looked at Matthew and said, "I appreciate the affection, Mr. Zimmer, but I'll say this again. Don't waste your life waiting for me. I have a family of my own, and I’m doing fine. Your appearance will only cause trouble for me, s o I hope you won’t appear in my life. I hope you won't even guard me in secret. I don’t want other men apart from Theo to think about me."

Matthew chuckled bitterly. "You can reject all pursuits for him, but is he really worth your loyalty? If he is, why did you come here?

"What are you thinking about, Wanda?"

I did not reply immediately.

After a long silence, I responded, "I left him not because I didn’t love him anymore, but because I didn't think I deserved him after looking at our past. I didn’t know how to convince myself to feel worthy of his outstanding qualities and his affection. I left his side because I love him too much and thought he deserves better. For that, I was willing to let go."

Matthew shivered. My words had left him pale.

He lowered his head and chuckled bitterly. "No matter what, I promised to wait for you forever. I will keep my word. If I can’t get you this lifetime, I'll get you first the next lifetime and give you a love that isn’t inferior to Theo's."

There was nothing I could say seeing how stubborn he was.

"We have to learn how to be content. Don't waste the good and most compatible things around you for things that aren't compatible with you and are unattainable for you. I hope you learn to appreciate what you have and not lose the happiness that truly belongs to you."

I continued after a pause, "Theo and I have already reconciled. Now that you've met m e, I hope you’ll return to Whaldorf City after your business here is finished.”

In other words, I was telling him not to appear in my life again.

"You reconciled?" Matthew's expression changed.

In order to make him give up, I blandly said, "Our reconciliation this time means that we won't argue again. We’ll be better than before. You didn't manage to wait for my change of heart back then, and you won't manage to wait for it now either. Stop wasting your time on me.”

I showed him the ring on my ring finger after saying that.

It was Theo's and my wedding ring. It was handpicked by Theo himself when we first bought it.
