Chapter 1053
| looked at Theo's blank expression and said, "I thought | could continue to be with you even though I didn’t love
you, but | later realized that | couldn't do it a t all. I felt like | was living in hell facing you every day, so | decided
to leave."
| continued after a pause, "Besides, | met someone more outstanding than you, and he's Jordan. Therefore, |
hope you can doa favor seeing how you've hurtbefore. Letgo. Letfind a better man and search
for my own happiness."
"Your own happiness?"
Theo smiled, but his smile was more hideous than his crying face. "What about my happiness?"
| felt a pang in my heart. | was not brave enough to look at him. | said in a deep voice, "That's what you should
figure out yourself.”

you moved in with him so eagerly and joined Fredericks Corporations?"
His voice was deep and restrained, his charming face filled with frost. It made him seem particularly grim and
terrifying.
This version of Theo was truly terrifying. Even | was afraid.
| took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "What choice was there? We have to live for ourselves.
Jordan isn't inferior to you, be it his looks o r his ability. Most importantly, he acceptsthe way | am even
though he knows my past. He's really good t 0 me."
He stared atfor a very long time, seemingly trying t o search for clues that | was lying. However, he found
none.
After a long time, Theo said with a sneer, "Very well."
He hissed those words through clenched teeth.
He got up and walked toward the car. He stopped to think after taking a few steps, then turned around and asked
me, "I'll ask you again, Wanda Lane. Do you really mean what you just said?"
"Yes.” | did not waver in the slightest. "I mean every word | said. They're all sincere." 1
Since | decided to break it off, then | must do it once and for all.
Constant entanglement was not good for us.
Theo sneered, his smile looking particularly cold." Very well, then. In that case, | have no reason to continue to
make a fool of myself."
He turned around and left after saying that.
| did not look at his back when he left and sat dazedly on the bench. My heart felt as though it had been emptied
out,
Grandma used to say that | was too indecisive, that | did not know how to let go, so | would only get myself killed
sooner or later.

In the dead of night, | asked myself why must | separate from Theo?
I did not know the answer to this question either. Perhaps | was a lunatic and would only be satisfied after
chasing away everyone who loved me.
There were too many unpleasant memories between u s. We were still young and would continue to argue in the
next decade or so. | feared that | would bring up the bad memories between us every twe quarreled, using
them as a reason or excuse to hurt him. 1
| did not want to spend every day of our lives for the decades to cin unhappiness.
After sitting by the river for God knew how long, | cback to my senses and realized that it was close to dusk.
When | got back to Fredericks Corporations, | quickly drafted the bid proposal.
When it was tto leave work, Jordan walked into my office.
He wore a white blouse with a black suit jacket draped on his arm. He looked tremendously lackadaisical.

"Mr. Fredericks." | stood up to greet him.
