Chapter 423
Cindy had found my sore spot. She was right. | could not bear to have her plague my life and marriage forever.
It was also true that if she did not give up pestering Theo, he would not leave her. | found that infuriating and
disgusting.
Cindy saw the change in my facial expression and smiled. "If you let go of this matter, | promise to leave Theowy
alone. I'll never contact him ever again. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
| scoffed. "That sounds really good, but what if you shamelessly clooking for Theo again after your mom is
out of trouble? What would | be able to do about it then?"

"Save it." | sneered. "Your words are worth nothing."
Cindy's expression changed.
| got up from the sofa and walked toward her. “Cindy Reed, | don't mind continuing to hurt each other our whole
lives. If you continue to grossout your whole life, you won't be happy either. Besides, you'll just be known as
a mistress. Wait, no, you won't even b e considered a mistress. At most, you're a sticky band-
aid. If that’s the case, | think you'll have it much worse than me."
I saw Cindy's face grow pale, and | smirked. "Cindy Reed, why can't you be a little smarter? With your current
family background, you'll be able to get any guy you want. Zedd Nichols is both charming and rich. He only has
you in his heart, so why are you rejecting the happiness that's right in front of you and choosing to step into the
muddy swamp? Why can't you just choose to live more comfortably in the short few decades you have left?"
| really had good intentions when | said all these to Cindy. If it were other women, they would have left Theo
alone a long tago since no one would bang headfirst into a wall and still not go another way. Besides, the
feelings Cindy had for Theo were not love. She was merely dependent on him and it had beca habit. She
thought that this was what love was. That was all.
"Don't you try to leadastray." Cindy pushedon the shoulder. "If you show my mother mercy and let her
off, I'll leave Theowy. Or else, that's the end of our conversation.”
"Since you're so stubborn, then | have nothing else to say to you." | gestured her to the door. "Please leave."

| smiled and nodded. "Sto you."
She briskly walked out of my office and I sat back on the sofa, closing my eyes. | breathed a long sigh of relief.
Cindy Reed was such a difficult person to deal with.
She did not even show a tinge of sorrow when she brought up her deceased baby. Was the baby not important to
her at all?
Perhaps she wanted too many things and she had too many things, so she did not seem to care about that baby.
| felt a little weary, so | wanted to take a nap. Not too long after that, | heard my office door open. | opened my
eyes to see Theo and | was stunned. "You cback so quickly?"
"Who was here just now?" Theo asked emotionlessly.
