Theo turned to look at me but did not say anything. His eyes were deep pools, but the emotions in them were unclear.Deliberately ignoring the malice and anger in Tyler’s eyes, I walked up to Theo, held his hand, and said again, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”Theo looked at me for a long time before an attractive smile bloomed on his face. “Okay, whatever you say.”After he was done speaking, he laced his fingers between mine tightly, turned around, and left with me.I reckoned Tyler was not in the mood to get into a fistfight with Theo either since he did not say anything to stop us. He stood where he was and merely watched darkly as we left.After a while, Theo spoke in a tone laced with humor. “Were you worried about me just now?”I blocked his question out instinctively as we approached my car. I instead asked, “I’m driving back. Are you coming with me?”“You’re following me back in my car.” Right after that, he turned to Mason Lynch and said, “You, drive her car back.”I did n

Miss Woods thought about it for some time before she shook her head and said, “I gave you the box before this, but I haven't seen it since I came over again. I didn’t even see it when I was tidying up the house. Think carefully. Might you have locked it up upstairs?”“I’ll look for it again.” I was prepared to go upstairs to carefully look through everything once more.I remembered that Miss Woods had mentioned within the box was something Grandmother had wanted to give me. She had asked me to only open it when Theo brought up divorce.I had never thought of using it to save my marriage, so I did not care. I did not even remember where I had kept it after bringing it back.Theo was quiet as he drank water in the living hall. His gaze was a little dark when he glanced at me, but he was always like this, so I did not pay much attention to it and simply went back to my bedroom.I tried looking through the cabinets in my room, but there was nothing. I remembered that I had changed roo

Too many matters and too many heartaches had swelled up within my heart. This had nothing to do with the box now, and everything to do with a human’s heart and intentions. Our mindsets were changing now. I could no longer be like I used to be, and his shifting attitude towards me had become habitual.Like most men, when he was faced with my accusation, he felt wronged and helpless but did not want to fight. He wanted to resolve the matter calmly.Theo looked at me and said in a grave voice, “Wanda Lane, I was wrong about the box incident, and I’ll apologize to you once again. We’re husband and wife, and I respect you very much. It has never crossed my mind to treat you like you don’t matter. Let’s not fight anymore, okay?”He did not want to continue with the argument, but when my heart started grieving again over all the injustice I had ever been through, I could no longer hold myself back. “Theo Grant, let’s just part ways! It’s better for everyone like that.”I could admit that

The corner of Theo’s lips curled slightly upwards as he stood up and walked over. As he reached out to pull me into his arms, he said, “So don’t make a fuss in the future, or you’ll be the one who ends up exhausted again.” I rolled my eyes at him. He stroked my hair as he said in a deep voice, “I was in the wrong for touching the box without your consent, but I was just curious about what my grandmother left for you.” He paused slightly before continuing. “After opening it, I realized that the items inside were items my grandmother had hoped to use to keep our marriage together. We don’t need any material items to keep our marriage together, and I didn’t want you to think that I hadn’t pushed for the divorce because of the box. That’s why I threw it away. Can you promise me you’ll never bring this up again and that we can live a normal and peaceful life?”It was the first time Theo had ever been so patient, and perhaps even a little humble, when speaking to me about such things.

I pursed my lips, my indignation apparent in my voice and my eyes as I said, “Why? We’re all pretending to be pitiful. Did the performance fail because of my acting skills or because of my lines?” I did not get it. Why could Cindy get away with it every time she used this method, but I could not?He smiled as he patted my head and said, “You’re fine the way you are, so why would you need to imitate someone else? How could you still be pitiful when you’ve got me now? There’s no need for you to pretend to be anyone else. All you have to do is be yourself.”His words made me suddenly realize that I should not hide my real personality when facing Theo. It would be best for me to be as sarcastic to him as I liked and argue with him whenever I wanted.Some people were well-suited to scripted acts, but I was not one of them. Feeling listless all of a sudden, I broke away from his embrace and collapsed into sleep. “No, you can’t sleep yet. Your hair hasn't completely dried,” he said a

Zedd’s face turned crimson. “Who said I’m going to be an uncle? Wanda Lane, don’t try to buddy up with me.”“Alright, alright. I won’t do that,” I said as I smiled, thinking that Zedd could be rather cute and naive at times. Gazing at his red face, I asked, “Actually, aren’t things quite nice the way they are now? I thought you liked her. Why don’t you confess your feelings?” “Shut up. Do you really think you know me that well? I’m warning you, don’t poke your nose into other people’s business. Is there anything else you want to say to me? If that’s all, forgive me for not having more time to entertain you.” As he said that, he got up and prepared to leave. I said, “Of course there are other matters I want to bring up. You’re friendly with people at Newlight Media, right?” When I finished speaking, I tilted my gaze upwards to look at him. He had obviously not expected me to ask that question. He was visibly stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality. He said, “Yes,

“Alright. You head over there first, I’ll come to accompany you once I’ve wrapped up matters here.” I took a card out of my purse and handed it to her. “Treat yourself properly once you get there, and the same goes for the child in your womb too.”“I’ve still got some money with me. Keep your card.” “Don’t bother with niceties when it comes to me. Do you think I don’t know how much money you have left? Didn’t we agree to stay together? I should pay for my share of the house as well. Take it! I have Theo for now, so I’m not in any need of money,” I said as I stuffed the card into her hand. This time, she did not refuse. She laid her head on my shoulder and said, “Wanda, we’ve both got kids now. From today onwards, we will no longer be lonely souls on this planet.” Yes, children brought with them attachment. We would no longer be lonely women with no family or friends. I did not return to the mansion that night. After phoning Theo to let him know I would not be returning, I spen

I secretly apologized to Cecilia once again. I had no other choice. If she did not want Mason to know about this, the only thing I could do was to throw her under the bus with some other excuse. “Pfft!” Mason had not learned his lesson from the soy milk earlier. He had begun eating, and this time, he was now choking on a pancake. I was too lazy to hand him any tissues this time around.“Cecilia told you that?” he asked as he dusted pancake crumbs off himself. “She didn’t say it was you, I guessed that myself. So I came to you to get confirmation.” Though I was feeling somewhat sheepish, I forced myself to continue lying through my teeth. Mason had given up on breakfast after the two interruptions to his meal. As he stood up to walk back to his desk, he said, “I strongly suggest you buy some books to read if you’re this bored. Prenatal education is very important. Don’t let this end up affecting the child.” “Dr. Lynch, I swear that I’m just curious. All you have to do is tell
