Chapter 78

What was he doing here? Should he not be with Cindy?

I was a little confused as to why he was always able to pinpoint my location every time.

"Why didn't you go home?" he asked with a dark countenance, his voice deep and low.

I did not want to respond to him and wanted to close the door. He reached out to block it and took

the opportunity to step in. With his hands in his pockets, h e leaned against the door frame and

stared at me.

Not wanting to entertain him, I turned around and went back inside.

"You’re not a kid, so stop your tantrums." He came up and took my hand, saying, "Come home with

me."

I laughed in anger when he said the word 'tantrums'." You think I'm throwing tantrums? What do you

take m e for, Theo Grant?”

He actually believed in Cindy and sided with her without a single hesitation. Why could he not let

me have some peace and insisted on coming over to torture me?

Even though I was well aware that his recent changes were all because of the child, I still could not

help but b e filled with hope and anticipation, thinking that I

could get a piece of his love as well.

However, I had finally gotten things clear today. Like what Zedd said, I would never be Cindy's

match.

"What do you want me to take you for?" he answered with another question, staring at me with his

dazzling dark pupils. It was hard to detect any emotions from his face.

"As a stranger. If you're a man, Theo, then let me go. Stop torturing me like this all the time." I was

pissed, s o my emotions were reflected in my tone.

He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "You know if I'm a man or not. Do you want me to prove it to

you again in someone else's house?" Having said that, he embraced me from behind.

"Stop it. Don't behave like a rascal here." I had never met a person more shameless than him. He

was clearly in love with Cindy yet still came over to pester me.

"If you refuse to leave, I won't mind staying here and letting others see us making love." His voice

was very low and attractive. It was tremendously seductive.

"You-" I was speechless.

He let out a smirk and picked me up before immediately walking outside.

Though unwilling, I was not bold enough to defy him. I f he was pissed off, he might actually do

something out of line in Cecilia's house.

I texted Cecilia on my way back and told her that I needed to go home first because something had

suddenly come up. She replied to my text very quickly and said that she happened to be busy

tonight, so we agreed to meet some other day.

Theo was silent and gloomy the whole way. The car was speeding. I ignored him and leaned back

in my seat, pretending to sleep.

When the car stopped and I was about to get out, he opened the door of the front passenger seat,

picked m e up, and walked toward the villa. He walked with rushed footsteps, his breathing a little

unstable.

Frightened, I asked in a trembling voice, "Put me down, Theo.”

He placed me on the shoe cabinet, cupped my face with both hands, and planted an icy kiss on my

lips.

His kiss was both domineering and aggressive. I knew he was retaliating against me for saying

those words. What a vengeful man.

I raised my head and peered into his eyes, saying mildly, "I think I'm sick, Theo."

If incidents like his cheating with Cindy continued to linger in my mind, then it would no doubt haunt

me for life.

I closed my eyes and sealed my lips because I did not know what to say. Being like this was not my

intention, but it was impossible to control.

My silence completely angered him.

He pulled me up like he was grabbing a chicken and threw me into the bathtub. He then turned on

the shower and let the cold water run down my head.

He, on the other hand, came in and sat sideways. He abruptly tore off my outer garment.

"Are you a beast, Theo?"
