"Letgo!" | wrenched my arm out of his grasp and shoved him hard.
He was standing on the edge of the steps and fell backward after losing his balance when | shoved him. Luckily,
he grabbed the banister in time. | stared at him with a blank face as | said, "I'm going downstairs t o get some
water."
Theo had nearly fallen down the stairs, but he did not seem the slightest bit flustered. "I'll go get you water. Can
you return to the room first?"
| did not give him an answer before turning back to walk into the room.
When Theo returned to the bedroom with a glass of water, | had already changed into my pajamas and climbed
into bed.
He handedthe glass of water, but | merely glanced at him without getting up. He did not urgeto get u p

| wanted to move a little farther away to the side, but h e tookinto his arms. "Weren't you even the slightest
bit worried when | nearly fell down the stairs just now?"
Was | worried?
| was not worried because | knew that his agility would not permit him to fall. Else, | would have never pushed
him.
Theo smiled bitterly. "If | had fallen and died, would | not have been worth worrying about compared to the
already dead Matthew?"
That question caused anger to once again flare within me.
| began struggling in his arms. "Letgo!"
Theo tightened his arms aroundand refused to let go. He pressed his lips to my ear as he questioned, "Do
you love Matthew?"
| stopped struggling and glared at him coolly.
"Maybe | should change the way | phrased my question." Theo narrowed his eyes. "If you were given the choice,
would you chooseor Matthew?"
I did not want to answer his dumb questions. If | had t o answer, | would have said it did not matter whether |
chose Matthew or not because | would never choose this man in front of me.
Silence stretched out between us, and a chill traveled from my heart to the rest of my body. Although Theo's
body was very warm, he could not spread his warmth t o my body.
Theo moved his arms and lowered his head to kiss my
neck. "Wanda, | want you."
| wrinkled my brows in frustration. "I don't want to."
He seemed not to hear what | said as he reached a hand into my shirt.
| could not understand why he still wanted to do such things when he already knew that | was not in the mood

"Theo Grant!" | reached up to grab his hair. "I don't want to do it, and I'm not willing to do it. Do you know what
these two phrases mean?"
Theo stared atwith a dark expression on his face. He stared atthis way for several seconds before
suddenly kissing me.
My eyes widened, and | did not think twice before slapping him across the face.
Theo got up and said angrily, "Wanda Lane, are you trying to remain chaste for Matthew Zimmer?"
| laughed in disbelief. "Stop saying such bullsh*t."
Theo ground his molars. "Am | not right?"
| could not be bothered to pay him any more attention and turned away from him, dragging the blanket along
withas I did so.
Theo stared atwith a vengeful expression on his face for a long tbefore he finally walked gloomily into
the bathroom.
