The Woman From Hell
Chapter 808

Chapter 808

When I pushed the door in, he was momentarily in a daze when he saw me.

My heart dropped when I saw his pained expression.

I was too late. He had watched the video.

"It's getting late. Are you going to bed soon?" I asked, a little helpless.

He pursed his lips, the pain in his eyes subsiding. He revealed a hint of a smile. "I’ll go in a while."

I nodded and tried my best to stay calm. I walked up t o his side and looked at the screen. My heart thumped a little quicker.

As expected, he was watching the video.

I opened my mouth to speak yet I did not know what t o say.

"You resented me at the time, right?"

He spoke, his voice a little cold. "Or should I say, you hated me?"

I pursed my lips and plugged out the flash drive from the laptop. I then sat down beside him. "I thought I hated you at first, but I later figured out that it was more self-blame and fear. It was my fault for not being able to keep the baby."

Theo was also looking forward to the birth of the baby, but I was not able to protect the child.

Theo lifted his hand and tucked the loose strands behind my ear. "It's not your fault."

I cast my eyes down for a few seconds, then asked with a smile, "What went through your head yesterday as you stood in the snow after I left?"

After hearing my question, he chuckled surprisingly." At first, I thought about what a rascal I was, but later, I felt a little aggrieved because you didn't even feel sorry for me."

I pursed my lips. "If I persuaded you, I knew you'd definitely come back with me, but if I really persuaded you, I knew very well that your conscience wouldn't allow it."

In fact, Theo was the one suffering the most. Initially, h e thought that he was doing me a favor by swapping Cindy and my DNA reports. What happened after that was completely out of his expectations. When he realized that he was the one who had pushed me into the abyss and that he had destroyed our love and baby with his own hands, he suffered the psychological torment alone in the quiet of the night. The pain he suffered was simply unimaginable.

Therefore, I resented him yet could not blame him at the same time.

Theo pulled me into his arms and softly inhaled before saying in a deep and low voice, "Wanda, my apology just sounds so weak. I don't know how to make amends to make up for the pain I inflicted on you in the past, so if you feel tormented to stay by my side, then I'll choose to let go."

I felt a lump in my throat and wrapped my arms around his waist. My face was pressed against his chest. "Cassey came and talked to me today. She said that if I want to live the rest of my life in peace, then I should stop holding onto my past and start thinking about how to properly live the rest of my life."

His body trembled and he said no more.

The bond between Theo and I was too deep. After everything that had happened, we were still embracing each other. We had long treated each other as a part of our lives.

It was painful for us to not separate, yet it was even more painful if we did.

If pain was inevitable no matter what we chose, then I would choose to sink with him in pain. I would wait until the time was right to let go of the past.

When we got back to the bedroom, I felt a little sick in my stomach.

Theo was taking a shower in the bathroom. I held back to discomfort and went to the balcony. There was fresh air outside, which made me feel better.

When he came out of the bathroom, there was a bath towel draped around his waist. His shoulders were broad and his waist was slim. Judging from his

physique, he was certainly qualified to be a seductive man.

I could not help but laugh at the thought of this.

He looked at me, a deep look in his eyes. "What are you laughing at?"

I walked up to him and pursed my lips, my gaze falling on his chest. "Has anyone told you that you look yummily seductive?"

His face broke into a grin. "You’re the first person who's brave enough to say that.”

I smiled lightly and said sweetly, "I'm going to the bathroom to wash up."

He nodded, his eyes tinged with a smile.

When I was rinsing my mouth, I looked at myself in the mirror. My mind flashed back to the image of Theo just earlier.
