Chapter 439

I burst out in maniacal laughter. "It wouldn't be a problem if you agree."

This man in front of me did not even ask why I went t o the apartment. How unreasonable of him to

lose his temper without asking what had happened!

Theo got so angry that he slammed his palm against the door hard. The sound was extremely loud

and terrifying. "Wanda Lane, do you really think so? Do you really want to be with him?"

Ultimately, I could not stand his temper anymore. Thus, I lifted my hands and pushed him on his

chest." Theo Grant, you said you might not be returning tonight. If I truly wanted to be with him, why

did I come back in the heavy rain in the middle of the night? When it comes to Matthew Zimmer, you

always lash out at me without even asking for the details.

You're just being unreasonable.”

He took a deep breath. I could see the veins bulging on his forehead. "Okay, then tell me why you

stayed until so late before coming back."

The corners of my lips twitched as I said, "Look, I’m tired from standing. Let me sit down and I'll

explain everything to you."

Theo suppressed his anger and stepped aside.

I plopped down onto the bed and looked at the empty glass on the bedside table. "I'm thirsty."

"I'll get you a glass of water," he said with gritted teeth.

I supposed he must be irked to his limits, having to give in when he was the one who was upset.

In an instant, my mood was lifted. When he returned with the glass of water, I said calmly, "Promise

me that you'll never lose your temper like that again until you ask for the details."

"Wanda Lane!" He ground his teeth together. "Know your limits!"

I shrugged. "I won’t speak, then."

Anyway, there was nothing he could do to me if I chose to keep my lips sealed. The best he could

do was vex himself to death.

He stared intently at me with his jet-black eyes. There were obvious streaks of resentment in his

expression. "Wanda, if you still choose to keep silent, I'll torture you tonight even if you’re mad."

"You!" My eyes widened. "Bastard!"

He let out a cold snort, as though he was admitting to his despicable nature. He said, "What can

you do to m e?"

I took a deep breath and yielded. "I'll tell you about it." With that, he straightened his back, eager to

hear what I had to say.

As soon as I had flashbacks of Nancy leaping off the building, I shuddered. "I presume you've met

Matthew’s mother before. She... She jumped off the rooftop of Zimmer Corporations. I'm sure you

can understand that this would be a huge blow to him. He became emotionally unstable, which is

why I stayed b y his side in the hospital. After that, I was worried that he would wander about on his

own once he regained more control. Therefore, I suggested he bring me to the apartment so that I

could cook for him."

After listening to my explanation, Theo’s expression grew grave. "Why did she have to make such a

choice?"

I sighed lightly. "Nancy found out that Marcus still loved her until his very death. There was another

reason why he divorced her and married Quinn Grant back then. I guess she was so engulfed by

guilt that she wanted to apologize to him in person."

Theo sat by my side and placed an arm across my shoulder. "Okay, let's stop thinking about it.

Everyone has their own fate."

He had only met Nancy once, so he was not too affected by her death.

"Matthew is a grown-up and a man at that too. He does not need you by his side all the time. The

one who needs your company is your husband-me," he

said calmly.

The childish words that fell from his lips seemed to seize my tongue.

Seeing me speechless, he frowned and asked, "Is that clear?"
