The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 360

I did not want to have any connection to Theo anymore. I just wanted to leave as I walked past him.

"Wanda." He grabbed my arm and said in a raspy voice, "As long as you give up your thoughts of divorce and come home with me, I can promise you anything."

His tone was no different from one of a man begging. I clenched my hands into fists, and I felt a stuffiness in my chest.

Theo was an arrogant person who had a strong sense o f self-esteem. It was hard for him to apologize, let alone beg someone.

'He refuses to divorce me, no matter what. Does he perhaps love me?'

I laughed, I laughed at my ridiculous thoughts. 'How could he possibly be in love with me?'

He did not know anything about love at all. I had asked him about this in the past, and he had given me a variety of answers, but never the answer-"! love you."

"You're promising me everything, right?” I asked with a smile.

'It doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever the reason may b e, I no longer care about why he refuses to divorce me.'

Theo nodded.

He did not even hesitate. I pursued my lips and said flatly, "I want you to have nothing to do with Cindy Reed, and the both of you will be like strangers from now on."

"Alright." Theo immediately agreed.

I continued to state my conditions. "I want absolute freedom. You can't interfere with my matters from now on."

This time, he did not immediately agree, so I sneered and said, "If you don’t agree to it, it's alright. I won't force you."

When he saw that I was going to leave, he grabbed my arm tightly and said hurriedly, "I promise you. As long as you're willing to come home with me, I'll promise you anything you want."

I looked at him calmly, and after a while, I lowered my eyes and smiled. "Then come and fetch me tomorrow."

"Can't it be today?” Right now, Theo was like a child who had caught hold of something he liked and did not want to let go of it.

I was not a fool. I obviously knew about his feelings toward me. He had helped me so much and treated m e so well, and I really did not want him to get hurt because of me. As the saying goes, agony now is better than suffering deferred. I could not be so selfish anymore, so I must stay away from him.

When the doors opened, I walked out of the elevator and turned my back to him. "Matthew, thank you for taking care of me all this while."

"Don't you have any feelings for me?" His hoarse voice came from behind.

I was silent for a long time. Then, I said softly, "You deserve better."

It could not be more obvious that I was rejecting him. Matthew sighed softly and said, "Don't stay up too late."

After I returned to my place and washed up, I went back to my bedroom and laid down. 1

'I’ll be going back with Theo tomorrow. I have no idea how to get along with him in the future. Moreover, I'll b e reminded of my dead child every time I see him. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive staying with him.’

The more I thought about it, the more I was unable to sleep. I stared at the ceiling blankly, and it was not until dawn that I fell asleep.
