Chapter 277

When I noticed the pain in his eyes, I suddenly did not know what to say anymore. I suppressed the

anger and irritation in my heart. Looking at him, I said, "Are you very annoyed with me?"

Perhaps I had changed the subject too quickly, he hesitated a little. He looked at me for a long time

before asking, "Why are you asking that?"

I reached over and put the pillow on my back before looking at him again. "If it weren't for me, you'd

be living happily with Cindy right now. Maybe your kids would even be running and jumping around.

It's because of me that you were forced to leave her and all those years went down the drain."

Sensing his anger, I did not look at him and continued, "If I hadn't conceived this child, perhaps she

would've become Mrs. Grant a long time ago. I know very well that the status of Mrs. Grant belongs

to her, and I should give it back."

After a pause, I said, "Don’t worry, I won’t occupy this position for long and refuse to let go. When

the child i s born, I'll immediately move out. We have no feelings for each other, after all. I've already

signed the divorce papers, and we'll each go our own separate ways. You

"Wanda Lane!" He angrily interrupted me. "Why are you suddenly making a scene again? Is this

why you left home today?"

I did not say anything, nor did I look at him.

He sneered and spoke, "What is marriage to you? Child's play? And what do you think a

relationship is? Saying I love you a hundred times every day? How many times do you want me to

tell you about Cindy before you believe me? I never had anything going on with her in the past, and

I'll not have anything to do with her in the future. I only took care of her because o f my promises to

her parents. Why do you refuse to believe me?"

I laughed and said, "Nothing going on with her? Why d o you protect her over and over again, then?

I may be stupid, Theo, but I'm not a fool. I can tell what love is."

"Well, aren't you self-aware? Glad you know that you're stupid. If your so-called love is limited to

these things then I'm absolutely speechless."

I pursed my lips without a word. His tone softened as h e said in a slightly helpless manner, "You left

today without saying anything. Do you know how worried I was when I saw that you didn’t take your

phone and purse out in this foreign place? Have you ever thought about my feelings? Are you being

responsible to the baby, to me, or even to yourself?"

There was some truth in what he said. I was speechless, so I simply got up and got out of bed,

ready

to leave.

"You're leaving just because you can't win the argument?” he mocked.

"It's none of your business." There was anger inside of me. I pushed him away and went downstairs

straight away.

He got up and followed behind me, calling out when I walked down the stairs. "Be careful. These

stairs are a bit steep.”

I ignored him and continued downstairs.

Downstairs, the bodyguards stopped me. Theo came over and pulled my hand. "It's raining heavily

outside. Where are you planning to go when you don't even know this place well?"

"Even if I die, it's still none of your business!” With anger in my heart, my words came off harsh and

unreasonable.

He laughed in anger, covering his forehead due to helplessness. "Wanda, you really have all the

problems of a woman. You must be exhausted after a long day. Shall we go upstairs and rest?”

Problems?

His words infuriated me completely. I pushed him and screamed, "You finally spoke the truth, Theo

Grant! Yes, I'm full of problems and I love making a scene. You probably couldn't stand me a long

time ago, huh? If it weren't for this child, I’m sure you’d

have taken out the divorce papers a long time ago, huh?"

Ignoring him, I continued, "I didn't ask you to tolerate me. If you can't stand me, then go to Cindy.

You don't have to be here where you'll suffer my wrath.”

After saying those words, I turned around, pushed away the bodyguards standing at the door, and

ran outside.

The rain had stopped, but I hesitated when I stood at the door. Theo was right. I had nowhere to go

in Whaldorf City, and I had no money.

I wandered back and forth a few times in the garden. Theo stood at the door the whole time with his

arms crossed, looking at me with a faint smile. He was seemingly waiting for me to go over myself.

Seeing that look on his face, I felt angry yet could not g o over to beat him to vent out my frustration.

After thinking about it, I stood at the entrance of the villa and beckoned to him. "Come here, Theo."
