Chapter 772

I laughed. "If you want me to feel the same, then call Caleb too."

"You think I don’t want to?" Cassey lifted her arm and checked her wristwatch, sighing gently. "But

he's busy lecturing now."

Seeing the resentful look on her face, I said unkindly," Sigh, I'd love to get jealous too but don’t have

the chance to."

Cassey pursed her lips and looked sternly at me, saying, "Wanda Lane, I have a strong urge to

bash you up when you're being mischievous."

I shrugged and laughed, saying no more.

We continued shopping. When we came out from a store, Cassey suddenly said, "Theo really loves

you very much."

I froze, unsure why she would suddenly say that.

Cassey took my arm and said softly, "After I started dating Caleb, I'd go to the clubhouse to check

the accounts every month. Otherwise, I wouldn’t go that often either. At the time, you had probably

left Whaldorf City for more than half a year. When I went t o check the accounts one day, I saw

Theo standing at the entrance of the clubhouse drunk. He grabbed

Serena's hand but called out your name, crying and begging you not to leave. Keith later took him

away. I asked the manager if Theo frequented the clubhouse lately, to which he replied that he

would come almost every day, leaving only after he was terribly drunk."

I froze momentarily, unsure what to say.

She fell silent for a moment before saying, "He's a distinguished figure, after all, so I warned

everyone at the clubhouse to keep their mouths shut and told Keith to pay extra attention. Since

that day, Serena would go to the clubhouse every day, meeting the drunk Theo by coincidence

sometimes. One day, Theo came to me and asked me if you had returned, but I told him that it

wasn't you."

After a pause, she continued, "Even though he knew that it wasn't you, he missed you too much

that even staring at your lookalike could help him feel better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted

until now."

I fell silent for a very long time before saying, "It's all i n the past now."

Recalling painful memories would hurt every time.

Although this painful memory belonged to Theo, it had the same effect on me. It pricked my heart

when I heard someone mention it.

Seeing that I was reluctant to talk about this topic, Cassey did not continue.

Cassey and I were planning to take the elevator to the second floor when we bumped into Cindy

and Zedd.

This was my first time meeting Zedd after three years. He had gotten much more reliable and

introverted. The change in his aura made it difficult for me to recognize him for a while.

Cindy, on the other hand, was easily recognizable at a single glance. We had just met each other

some time ago, after all.

She was holding Zedd's arm, and the two of them looked very intimate. I speculated in my heart if

they were together now.

However, whether they were together or not had nothing to do with me, so I stopped thinking after a

while.

Cassey knew them as well, so she spoke first, "What a coincidence. Are you here to shop as well?"

We clearly knew each other, so it was inappropriate for us to pretend as though we did not.

Zedd's gaze fell on me, and he said after a while, "Mm."

"When did you come back?" he asked me.

I pursed my lips. "Some time ago."

Zedd nodded and suggested. "Theo is getting off work soon. Let’s have dinner together... With

Mason as well."

Theo and Mason’s relationship had become stiff because of Munchkin.
