Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 149

Theo did not immediately answer Nathan, but instead lit another cigarette. His slender, jade-like fingers held the cigar, and smoke curled around his handsome face, giving him an added air of mystery.

"Why are you so good to Isabella?" Nathan couldn't understand how did the destitute Isabella meet the wealthy Theo?

Theo said lightly, "Because she deserved it."

Nathan slightly furrowed his brow, clearly indicating that he did not quite agree with Theo's words.

Theo continued, but this time he pressed Nathan's face to the ground and rubbed it. "Nathan, you have always been a prodigy, with looks like a school idol and talent that surpasses your classmates. How could someone as outstanding as you fall in love with Victoria?"

Victoria came out of Theo's mouth as if she were some dirty thing that couldn't be seen.

Nathan retorted defiantly, "Where is Victoria lacking? She is intelligent, beautiful, kind, and gentle. If it weren't for her poor health, she would definitely be superior to your Thea."

Perhaps only by desperately proving Victoria's goodness, can he make himself appear less foolish for persisting in love.

Theo seemed to hear a huge joke and scornfully said, "She was intelligent and beautiful? Gentle and kind?"

"Indeed clever, she would go to great lengths every day to snatch others' organs and husbands, and even bring down the esteemed prince from his pedestal, making him a hamster who could only live in the gutter like her."

This malicious woman, by pretending to be pitiful, confuses you to the point where you can't distinguish east from west.

"Nathan, your taste in women was truly poor."

Nathan stared at Theo and said, "Theo, Victoria wasn't as embarrassed as you said. She was just more fragile and liked to rely on others."

Theo was quite speechless, "So weak that it's like a dodder flower, insisting on sucking the last drop of blood from the host before giving up?"

Nathan said, "She didn't want this either..."

Theo glanced at the figure hidden in the dark and smirked slightly. Having achieved his goal, he intended to withdraw. "Nathan, I have said all I need to say. Take care of yourself."

Theo left in big strides.

Nathan watched as Theo walked away, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath his eyelids. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Theo, do you think I don't know your wicked intentions?"

"Victoria now only has me left. If even I were to leave her, how would she live?"

"Theo, your means of revenge against her were truly cruel."

Theo returned to the venue of the banquet, and Thea quietly asked him, "Where did you go? Why were you gone for so long?"

Theo's smile was somewhat unnatural. How could he tell her that he had just done something akin to murder and arson?

"Sister, I just went out to get some fresh air."

Thea was puzzled. Going out for some fresh air, and not even saying hello?

This kind of appearing and disappearing is very unusual.

Suddenly, a faint, elusive smell of smoke danced in the air between Thea's nostrils. Thea sniffed and tiptoed towards Theo's mouth, causing Theo to tense up like a bowstring in response to her action.

Thea's face was so beautiful, pure with a touch of innocence. Her eyes were bright and lively, twinkling like stars in the night sky. And her lightly painted red lips were very enticing.

When this face rushed towards him, Theo's heart raced.

"Sister, what are you doing?" His ears turned visibly red at an alarming speed.

Thea determined that the smell of smoke was emanating from Theo's mouth and immediately distanced herself from him. With a stern expression on her face, she asked, "Theodore, did you smoke?"

Theo sighed and said, "Oh, I smoked a little bit."

Thea furrowed her brows and suddenly reached for Theo's pocket, pulling out a nearly empty cigar box.

Thea raised the cigarette box discontentedly, "Is this what you call smoking just a little bit? You little rascal, when did you ever learn this stuff?"
