Chapter 843 "What are you doing here?" he asked worriedly.
I pursed my lips. "I want her to give up." Theo gently sighed. There was only coldness in his eyes when he looked at Cindy. "Pick one. Go to prison o r leave Whaldorf City." Cindy slumped to the ground, her body shaking violently. "Theowy, I don't want to go to prison or leave Whaldorf City." "You must choose one." Theo's voice was so cold it was as if it was covered in ice.
"You can't do this to me, Theowy!" Cindy broke down completely. "You promised my parents to be good toand to take care of me." Theo's ruthlessness could send shivers down one's spine. He used an almost heartless tone to say, "Cindy Reed, you disgustevery tyou bring up your parents. Their biggest failure in life was to have a daughter like you." His words rained down on her like a cold bucket of water. It nearly killed Cindy.
She looked incredulously at Theo, tears streaming down her face.
Theo tightened his arm around my shoulder and said once more, "You intended to harm my wife today and I'll not let this slip. According to the law, you'll serve at least three years but because your parents saved my life back then, you can choose to leave Whaldorf City with the money I give you. You'll never appear in front ofand my wife again." Once this man was completely angered, he would take radical actions and not give a hint of leeway.
Cindy had broken down completely. She could not say anything and just cried.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the cops arrived, Cindy was taken away.
It was up for her to choose now, whether she would go to prison or take the money that Theo gave her and leave Whaldorf City forever.
On the journey back, I was constantly looking out the car window in a daze.
Theo cat just the right time. I had suspicions that he had heard the things I said to Cindy.
I wanted to say those things to Cindy a long tago. If I could, I would even say it to her face in front of a crowd so she would give up completely.
The car cto a stop. I looked aroundand turned to look at Theo. "Why are we stopping here?" Theo unbuckled his seat belt and said indifferently," Wait in the car for me." Soon, he cback with a dessert box in his hand.
I did not open it and was lost in thoughts as I looked a t this delicate box.
I felt a gush of warmth on my palm and cback to my senses. I saw that the man was holding my hand.
He said, "If you have anything to say, then say it." I looked up at him and spoke in a husky voice, "She didn't break in or anything. I took her inside." He nodded. "I know." I gently sighed. "You just wanted her to leave Whaldorf City, but why did you get the cops to take her away?" Theo's gaze turned somewhat complicated. "Wanda, would you have gotten hurt if I hadn't arrived in time?" I pursed my lips and said no more.
I probably would have. Cindy had lost her mind at the tand all she wanted to do was kill me. In that situation, I might either get away lightly injured or worse, killed.
Theo kissed the back of my hand, his voice trembling a little. "That's why I must make her suffer a little. If her parents hadn't saved my life, I really want to..." He was probably going to say that he wanted to kill her. I embraced him and gently patted his back. Theo rested his forehead on my shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "We still have decades more to go. I want to grow old with you. I can't bear losing you. I was able to arrive in tthis time, but what if I don't the next tshe tries to hurt you again? Therefore, I can only feel at ease when the hidden danger is eradicated once and for all." I pursed my lips. "What do you plan to do next?" He looked up at me, his gaze ice-cold. "It's either she leaves Whaldorf City and never comes back, or I'll sue her and send her to prison." I frowned. "If she insists on not leaving Whaldorf City, she'll only hate us even more when she's released from prison. Our lives will no longer be peaceful again when that day comes." Theo squeezed his eyes shut for a moment. "I'll make her leave Whaldorf City." Although I had no idea what his plans were and how he was going to make Cindy agree to leave the city, I was in no position to meddle in this anymore.
When we got home, the sky was already dark.
Caroline had made dinner, but I was not very hungry and had no appetite. Theo heard that I had eaten a lot with Quinn in the supermarket, so he did not persuadeto eat more.
Munchkin cout of the dining room after eating and sawsitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and eating snacks leisurely. He was unhappy about it. "How could you eat alone, Mommy?" I helplessly smiled, handing the snack to him. "Don't eat too much." Munchkin's expression changed as fast as lightning. He was instantly beaming from ear to ear. "Don't worry, Mommy. I'll just have a teeny bit." I probably should not take his words too seriously. He was definitely going to lick the last bit clean.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo took a seat besideand put his arm around my shoulders.
I looked up at him. "Did you hear what I said to Cindy?" Everyone had a side to them that they did not want others to see. This side that they were trying to conceal was bound to be an unpleasant one.
Theo smiled slightly. "Sort of." He had probably installed a lot of cameras in the house when the house was vacant.
I gently sighed. "Do you have a bad impression ofnow?"
Theo kissed my cheek. "She probably said a lot of things to you when m wasn't ground.
a hundred. They must have been or even a thousand times worse, right?" I nodded. "Yeah."
Theo laughed. "You're just protecting yourself, so I can't label it with good or bad. Besides, the good and the bad in this world are inherently blurred because everyone sees things from a different perspective." His words had comforted me. My heart was instantly a t ease as I got up to say, "I'm going upstairs to lie down." "No way." He held my hand. "Watch another hour of TV, then eat before you go upstairs." I pursed my lips. "I'm really not hungry."
He frowned. "Just because you're not It mean you won't hungry now doesn't mean be hungry later. Be good and sit down and wait." It was a commanding tone.
I refused to listen and cried out, "How dare you be so mean to me, Theo Grant?!" He was slightly stunned, then raised his eyebrow and asked curiously, "How am I mean to you?" I glared at him. "You're mean to me." He smiled in delight. "Fine, I was mean to you. I apologize to you. If you can't take it, then be mean to m eback." I rolled my eyes. "I don't have tfor that!" "Tellwhat can I do to make you less angry?" The smile on his face deepened.
I thought about it and said, "You're not allowed to sleep in the room tonight." X
