Chapter 1060
The Woman From Hell
Keith frowned, still puzzled. "What's better? Arenât feelings more important in a relationship? Mutual
love brings two people together, no?"
I lowered my eyes and said with a gentle sigh, "Keith, oftentimes, two people who love each other
can't be together either. It depends on whether they're compatible or not, or if they're happy
together. If they're not compatible, then they'll not be happy, and the love between them will wear
out with time. Do you think Theo and I will be happy together when there are so many bad
memories between us?"
I continued after a pause, "His scheme back then caused me to turn against my parents. My mother
and I ended up hurting and resenting each other. Later, I took Munchkin away after learning about
the truth because I was afraid of staying by his side. I'll break down from the torment of love and
resentment. I thought I could let g o after three years, but I realized that it was not the case. There
are some damages that will leave an everlasting impact.
"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. I thought I spent three years letting go of everything
and could return to Whaldorf City to start a new life with Theo.
"I also thought that Petra and I could love and rely on each other like every other mother and
daughter in the world. But every time I see how careful Petra is in front of me, and the guilty look in
Grayson's eyes when he looks at me, itâs really hard for me. I watched how much love they
showered Cindy with and want them to treat me the same way, but that's never going to happen.
"They'll always remember how they had hurt me, and it's the same for me.
Therefore, we can never get along smoothly.â
Looking at Keith, I let out a bitter smile. " Staying by Theo's side means that I'll have t o suffer inner
torment and contradictions for the rest of my life. I'm a timid person, so I chose to run away."
Keith fell silent for a very long time before saying with a sigh, "Mr. Grant has worked hard to do his
best."
I nodded and smiled faintly, saying, "I know he has been doing his best. That's why I feel
comfortable leaving Munchkin t o him."
Are you planning to keep leaving
Munchkin to Mr. Grant, Ma'am?"
"No.â I smiled. "I'll take Munchkin away as soon as I can and not trouble him for too long. After all,
he has no obligation to take care of Munchkin."
"Then who has the obligation?" A cold and stern voice of a man suddenly rang in my ears.
When I turned back and saw that it was Theo, I was slightly stunned.
The man's countenance was sullen, his gaze dark and chilly. "If I don't have the obligation to take
care of Munchkin, then who does? Jordan?â Seeing that he had arrived, Keith turned around and
left quietly.
Theo and I were the only ones left. The air was terribly awkward.
After a long time, I said, 'Thanks for taking care of Munchkin this whole time, Theo.
Theo sneered. "Don't thank me. Don't forget that Munchkin is still legally my son. Once our marriage
is dissolved, I'll compensate you financially, but I will most certainly not give Munchkin back to you."
"Are you threatening me?"
Theo raised his eyebrows. "You can say that."
I smiled slightly, not the slightest angry about it. "Actually, Munchkin is better off living with you than
me. You have the ability to give him a better and more superior life. I can live a little better alone,
even if it means I remarry someday."
Theo stared motionlessly at me with his black pupils that carried hints of sullenness and
indifference. He did not bother to disguise the anger on his face.'
Well played."
I smiled slightly. âThank you for the compliment, Mr. Grant."
Noticing his tightly clenched fist, I was a little glad that I was a woman.
If I were a man, he would have bashed me u P
Theo took a deep breath and said with a face full of mockery, "I'd like to see if the Fredericks will
allow you to marry into their family."
I sighed slightly after seeing him leave.
It was best for us to not see each other again after he left. Otherwise, things would only get more
complicated and difficult to cut off.
