Chapter 1025

I tried to push him away but he held my hand down. The man’s voice was low and hoarse. "Wheredo you plan to push me to? How far do you plan to push me away?"

My heart suddenly throbbed. I failed to get the words out of my chest and allowed him to plantscattered kisses that carried a hint of punishment all over me.

In the dark, tears could not help but well up in my eyes. I spoke in a hoarse voice, "I never knewwhat poppies were like. I've only heard others saying that they're beautiful but have never seenthem for myself. But I saw them just the other day. They're indeed beautiful, but they're also verydangerous. Because once you get hooked, you can never quit.”

After a pause, I continued, "You’re just like this kind of flower, Theo."

The man stopped moving, still sounding like he was short of breath.

Even though I could not see his face clearly in the dark, I was able to guess his expression.

He asked, "Why did you go there?"

His hands were tightly fastened around my waist when he asked the question as though he wasafraid

that I might suddenly dash off.

I was still thinking of ways to reply but could not think of a reasonable answer in the end, so I couldonly helplessly say, "I accidentally went there.”

The man frowned. "To hide from me?"

I pursed my lips, not denying it.

Maybe it was better to let him misunderstand. After all, I had already thought it through. If I could notgive him a better future, then I would have to ruthlessly push him away.

He buried his face in between my neck and asked." Who did you go with?”

I did not know how to answer this question. After thinking for a very long time, I answered, "Youshould ask me who I came back with.”

There was a faint coldness in the air. Theo was angry.

"We shouldn't be like this, Wanda!” There was repressed anger in his heart. "You know very wellthat if I refuse to let go, then you can never escape from m e. I'll never let go of you, so we'redestined to be together forever. We won’t be separated by anything."

I pursed my lips and broke his grip on my waist. I said in a slightly cold and indifferent voice, "Doyou know what it means to not love anymore, Theo? I'm not happy when I'm with you. Everything inthe past feels like a stab in the heart. Every time I see you, I'll think o f my dead child. Because ofyour mistake, I can't be a

mother again, so I beg you to please let me go, okay?"

I vaguely saw the man's tall and slender body sway in the dark. I could not see his expression, but Icould tell from his rapid breathing and the aura he was emitting right now that he was in despair.

I thought those words would be enough for him to willingly let me go.

"Is there no other way?" he asked, his voice extremely hoarse.

I felt a lump in my throat. "No. Let's each search for a life of our own and give each other somepeace."

I felt every fiber of my body hurting, and for the first time ever, I learned that all the nerves in one'sbody would hurt along with the heart when a person was sad.

Theo let out a self-deprecating smile. "What do you mean by search for a life of our own? Justbecause you can let go of everything and leave, you think everyone can do the same too?"

I pursed my lips, not wanting to listen to what he was about to say because I feared that I would notbe able t o control myself from rushing over and embracing him, telling him that I did not want toleave and I could not do it at all.

However, it would be too selfish of me if I did that.

Upon returning to the private room where Shannon and the rest were, everyone turned to look atme at the

same time.

Shannon rolled her eyes at me. "What took you so long? Are you constipated?"

I speechlessly glared at her and sat back down, saying, "I met a friend and we chatted for a while."
