Chapter 59
I was momentarily stunned. “Parting ways in a civil manner. Getting divorce papers processed immediately.”
Impossible.” Theo was quick to reject the idea, his voice cold.
I scorned him. “Then completely break things off with Cindy Reed. Give her enough money to move to another city and have her live there. Swear to me that you won’t see her again for the rest of your life.”
“Who are you to tell me what to do with m y life, Wanda Lane?!” Cindy barged in unannounced to shriek at me menacingly.
This time, my calmness even surprised myself. I looked at her and responded quietly, “Why can’t 1? Theo refuses to let me go, so he should let you go instead.”
You… L… Theowy will never let me go!” Cindy was so agitated she no longer made any sense. 1
I did not want to argue with her, so I
turned around and walked back to my seat. I grabbed my bag and said to Xander, “Am I still sending you back? Let’s go.”
“Right away. Right away!” Xander hastily paid the bill after hearing the edge in my tone
I did not say anything during the entire journey. Xander was surprisingly quiet, staring at me from the passenger seat.
“Do I have something on my face?” I was slightly uncomfortable with being stared at, so I broke the silence
You’ve changed, Wandy,” Xander commented sentimentally after a long
pause
Change is inevitable for humans.” There was nothing as constant in this world as change. The things we thought would never change usually end up morphing into something else when given enough

“Fantastic, then. This is the real you now. That timid little Wanda Lane mask you wore in the past really did not suit you.” Xander leaned back against the car seat, a
n inexplicable eagerness etched across his face,
I did not respond to that, focusing on driving instead
There was no mask that I had deliberately put on in the past. There was just a certain lowness in the love I was being given that made it possible for me to endure it all silently.
Things were changing now, especially when it came to Theo. The change in his attitude towards me had sent ripples of change into my heart and my mindset. I wanted more, but I could not get past the hurdle in my heart.
After sending Xander home, I went backt o Cecilia’s place. To my surprise, she was
“You still have to go to work. You really shouldn’t go around puking like that.” Cecilia laid down beside me, laying my head on her abdomen.
She was right. I would be having several eating engagements soon, and puking during meals would be extremely suspicious.
After some contemplation, I picked up m y phone and called Mason Lynch.
With my prior experience in hand, I waited for him to speak first before asking, “Doctor Lynch, I’ve been really nauseous lately. Could you please help me
You can’t take any more medication right now, it won’t be good for the baby… Okay, you know what? I’ll ask Cain for some medicinal cuisines that can help with that.” Mason’s tone was as aloof as usual.
Nhad nearly forgotten that Cain Hendrick
Tad nearly forgotten that Cain Hendrick Was Theo’s high school buddy, which meant that he was also schoolmates with
Mason
“Thank you, Doctor Lynch.” I was very grateful for his kindness.
After I hung up, Cecilia looked at me questioningly. “What’s with you and this Doctor Lynch? Why do I feel like he cares more about the baby than the real baby daddy does?”
