The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2083

He found the people of Whaldorf City to be indifferent. Perhaps it had something to do with what happened to him before.

I paused for a moment before responding slowly, "I think it’s fine, but it is quite warm here."

Even the moonlight was extraordinarily clear and bright. We were still able to see the road in the moonlight even when there were no road lights.

"Wanda, I can wait for you, be it a year or three. Perhaps even longer. I can wait for you to forget Theo and then accept me." Matthew's tone was suddenly serious.

I looked toward him, and the light in my eyes suddenly dimmed. For a moment, I did not know how to respond.

I gulped and parted my lips. "Why bother?"

There was probably no more suitable answer other than this question.

How was he to wait for an indefinite time?

Matthew's eyes were still hot and filled with sincerity. "I'm willing to wait. I want you to give me your heart too, not just your body. I won't get close to you as long as you don’t accept."

How many people in this world could be like Matthew?

Even Theo could not.

For a few seconds, I was moved, but I could not convince myself. I blinked back my tears and looked at him while shaking my head slightly. "I don't know how long it’ll take to forget someone, but let me tell you, I’ve waited for Theo for more than six years, so I won't let go of him easily."

I was not afraid of angering him. I just wanted to tell him the truth.

It was a heavy reply.

I saw Matthew freeze for a moment, but then he looked away. Lips pressed together, he walked forward silently. I did the same.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked back at me. "It doesn't matter. Whether it’s six years or 12 years, I can wait as long as you’re by my side."

His voice was very soft as if he were pleading. I stopped struggling and let him hold me.

I was unaware how much time had passed, but then Matthew whispered in my ear, "Goodnight." He went back to his room after that.

Seeing him close the door, I then slowly walked into the room.

He was obviously emotional just now, but he was able to hold back and just hugged me to calm himself down. This behavior surprised me.

Sitting by the bedside, I sighed heavily. My entire heart sank thinking that I would hurt Matthew. It was as if it had been shackled by an immense weight, and I could not breathe.

I covered my face with my hands and tried my best to snap myself out of it. Regardless, Matthew had done something wrong. He should not have brought me here, let alone leave Whaldorf City just like that.

I looked out the window, thoughts running through my head...
