Chapter 284: Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Theo glanced at Nathan’s bewildered expression and immediately felt a sense of crisis. He cunningly boasted, “Thea, were you just protecting me? You’re so good to me, and now I can’t live without you for the rest of my life. What should I do?”

Thea indulgently touched his head and her gentle voice healed the heart. “Then let’s not separate.”

Theo said, “In the next life, will I come to find you, okay?”

Thea blushed and said, “Okay.”

She is carefree and contented now, so she has gained some weight recently. There is even a hint of baby fat on her face. This makes her look particularly gentle and innocent. With her added coquettishness, she is even more attractive at first glance.

Nathan had never seen Thea so alluring and captivating before, and there was a strange factor stirring within him. Perhaps it was the emotion of disappointment and jealousy, as he muttered quietly, “I have never seen Thea like this before.”

“Showing off their love makes them die quickly.”

Theo shifted his gaze away from Thea, his face transforming like a chameleon. Just a moment ago, he was tender and affectionate towards Thea, sticky with sweetness. But when it came to Nathan, it was as if he had been frozen and covered with a thick layer of frost.

Chapter 25 “Mr. Nanthan, then you must watch us closely. I want to let your know how well Thea and I were doing, and how we were deeply in love for a long time. Public displays of affection don’t work. for us.”

Theo suddenly tightened Thea’s hand, as if swearing under the red flag. “I have liked Thea for a long time. Thank you for divorcing her, your act of letting go, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.”

Nathan.

Thea was overwhelmed with excitement.

No one had ever cherished her like this before. Theo’s respect for her, his affection, and his unabashed display of love. His love for her was genuine.

However, Thea was introverted and especially shy when it came to expressing her feelings for the opposite sex. She felt very embarrassed by Theo’s overt displays of affection. She grabbed Theo’s hand and shook it vigorously, saying, “Theodore, please stop. Let’s go.”

Theo finally stopped sharing his desires.

“Let’s go, we’re going home!” Theo exclaimed excitedly.

Nathan was old and had a reserved personality. He was speechless about Theo’s childish show–off behavior.

As Theo passed by him, he whispered a warning, “Nathan, is your wife crazy? You better keep an eye on her. If she dares to show up in front of my wife Thea again and spout nonsense, next time I won’t mind having a convict for a wife.”

Chaptm 285 After saying that, Theo grabbed Thea and left.

“Nathan, I am in pain,” came Victoria’s weak voice, as Nathan’s eyes filled with a hint of weariness.

Nathan was very angry in his heart, all the humiliation he suffered today was caused by Victoria.

He scolded Victoria angrily, “Why don’t you get up? Don’t you feel embarrassed sitting on the ground?”

Victoria’s tears were streaming down her face as she said, “Nathan, I couldn’t get up. I feel like I got hurt.”

Nathan’s eyes burned with anger “Injured? Where were you earlier? You only said you were injured after Theo left?”

He roughly pulled Victoria up, and Victoria’s leg dangled weakly. It was only then that Nathan realized Victoria’s ankle was dislocated.

Victoria pouted and said, “Nathan, carry me.”

Nathan had a frowning face and symbolically bent his waist.

Victoria was short and, with her injury, she was afraid she couldn’t climb onto Nathan’s back. “Nathan, can you lower yourself a bit?”

Nathan frowned and bent his knees.

Victoria climbed onto his back.

Nathan wore a deadpan expression as he carried Victoria on his back to the hospital. Victoria cried her heart out on his back.

Chapter 295 “Why are you crying?” Nathan’s voice was filled with impatience.

Victoria sobbed, “Nathan, how did we end up here today? Do you know, just now I saw how Theo treated Thea so well, and I really envy her. It’s like I saw our past, when you used to protect me unconditionally like that too.”

Nathan did not speak.

It took a long time before he finally asked Victoria, “When you envy Thea, have you ever thought that I also envy Theo?”

Victoria’s blood froze in her veins. “You... envy Theo?”

She was always competitive and combative throughout her life, but she never considered Thea as a worthy opponent. In her mind, Thea, being born into a humble background, without parents, growing up in the slums, and having a low education, was simply not her match.

In the first half of her life, she regarded Thea as an ant.

But little did she know, one day, she was completely surpassed by Thea. Even her man regarded her more highly.

Victoria roared in discontent, “You should indeed envy him. At such a young age, he managed to unravel the Sanchez’s predicament. He even secured the Hill Group, replacing you, the once illustrious prince.”

She thought that by diverting the topic, Nathan could avoid her taboo.

But how could someone who doesn’t love you possibly care about your embarrassment? Nathan’s words echoed above my 15 Chapter 285 head, “I’m not envious of his success. I envy his ability to wholeheartedly and fearlessly love someone.”

And it was precisely this person who cared for him, loved him, and protected him. The most beautiful aspect of this two–way love was not the abundance of material things they used, but rather the richness of their inner worlds.

Victoria muttered, “We once had such love too.”

“No, we never had it,” Nathan said sadly, “or rather, I never had such love. The one I love, would never protect me like Thea did.”

Victoria choked up with sadness and said, “Talking about it, you just despise me.”

Nathan honestly said, “Yeah. I think I did indeed despise you.”

Victoria burst into tears and said, “What did I do wrong?”

Nathan said coldly, “Do you really want me to say it?”

Victoria hesitated for a moment.

Nathan, however, did not give her a chance. He, a person who was sparing with words, seemed to open the floodgates and spoke incessantly. “Think about it carefully, should I despise you for not having a beautiful appearance but having an ugly heart;

or should I despise you for being born weak and sickly, relying on others, yet squandering and being selfish...”

“Stop talking,” Victoria interrupted him, crying. “Nathan, you don’t love me anymore. It’s not because I have so many flaws, it’s just because you don’t love me anymore. That’s why you see everything in me as a flaw.”

Chapte Nathan said coldly, “No, it was my love for you that disappeared. The filter I had for you also disappeared. Now I can see your true appearance clearly.”

Nathan took Victoria to the orthopedic hospital, but this time he didn’t take care of everything for her like before. Instead, he sat beside her playing with his phone, letting Victoria handle the registration, doctor’s appointment, and medication on her own.

Victoria’s leg was weak and she was exhausted.

After she saw the doctor and returned to Nathan’s side, her eyes were red.

Nathan, however, as if he hadn’t seen it, said, “Let’s go.”

Nowhere to go, Victoria and Nathan returned to the Hill family.

That night, Nathan carried the blanket to the guest room and said, “This is where I will sleep from now on.”

Victoria’s heart turned cold, without any attempt to hold on, tears just kept falling.
