The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278

Trust that had been built up could be easily destroyed. This was the only time I was no longer confident.

Seeing that I did not say a word, Cindy smugly said, "Ms. Lane, if you really want Theowy to go home, then I'll let him know. He'll listen to me. But he might go home a little later. You can have dinner yourself. The food will have turned cold once he gets home.”

I felt awfully embarrassed but still did not say a word. 1 took the phone away from my ear and hung up.

Looking at the table full of dishes, I felt an incomparable sense of mockery.

Love? There had never been love between Theo and me.

I returned to my bedroom and lay in bed. My heart was in pieces. Cindy's words played in my head like a broken record.

I had initially thought it through that if one day Theo fell in love with another woman. I would wish him all the best. Today, however, I felt so heartbroken. My heart was in such excruciating pain that it felt like it was about to crack open

I did not want this to happen, yet I could not control myself.

I could not stop myself from thinking of the past and the days when Theo and I were together. I was in agony the more I thought about it. How absurd was this?

The good old days were reduced to nothing in an instant, and all that remained was the damage he had done to me.

I felt sleepy yet could not fall asleep when I closed my eyes. My cramps had returned. It felt like heartburn. I had probably caught a cold from the cool water during the shower.

Since I could not sleep, I decided that I was not going to sleep.

I got up and opened the drawer of the bedside table. I took out the book I did not finish previously. The sound of a car engine sounded outside. The headlights lit up most of the courtyard

My hand that was holding the book tightened slightly.

He was back so soon?

I could not read any longer and put down the book to go downstairs.

There was no one in the living room. I looked at the dining area

Sure enough, the man was in the dining room.

He was sitting at the dining table clad in a black suit. He was eating the dishes that had turned cold.

He was straight and tall. It was not just his outward appearance, but he looked elegant even when he ate.

I felt suffocated inside. Anger and sadness intertwined within me. I felt a strong urge to cry. Three hours ago, I had called his number.

He only came home now. I guess he had done what he needed to do.

"The food is cold. You shouldn't eat, it anymare, Mr. Grant. Your nobles stomach might get sick," I coldly said while walking to the dining area.

Theo raised his head and was : stunnecto see me. Then, a tender smile broke out on his charming face. "Did I wake you?” Content -~

His tenderness made me want to laugh.
