Chapter 1298

Cassey took a deep breath as though she could not stand it any longer. "Wanda, I think you'reawfully inexperienced when it comes to relationships. Also, in everyone else’s eyes, what you'redoing is simply kicking up a fuss. If I were to analyze your behavior, you’re acting like this becauseyou think that Theo will never leave you no matter what you do. You think that he'll always replace away to persuade you to come back.

"He’s spoiled you, and that led to your indulgence in this game of having him chase after you. Youoften encourage others to cherish their loved ones but are you doing as you say? Has it evercrossed your mind that maybe you and Theo's relationship will actually come to an end

when he becomes exhausted one day?"

I froze. Her words came at me like a blow, leaving me dumbfounded.

Cassey continued, "Caleb's and my relationship isn't as passionate as yours, nor do we experiencechallenges like you do, but our marriage comes in the most basic form. In our tiny home, trivialmatters such as not washing one's socks, neglecting the baby, or fighting over work stress oneparty brings home may be a constant, but we both acknowledge that this is just a small part of life.We understand that we should let these matters pass. They're not to be taken seriously.

"Most of the time, we'll give each other a morning kiss and a hug before we leave the house. Whenone of us faces stress and blues at work, everything becomes worth it

the moment we come home and see each other. The relationship that Caleb and I share is ordinaryand lasting. We're raising a baby together, and as we offer our love for each other, we share thelove with our baby at the same time.

"Perhaps your and Theo's relationship is more passionate than any of us, but there's a hugeproblem with how both of you view and treat love. You overcomplicate love. Just think about it. Is

Cindy really an obstacle between the two of you? What about Matthew? Not at all. In fact, a personwill meet plenty of people who will have a crush on them in this lifetime. Are you going to take all ofthem so seriously each time? They're just passersby in your life. I don't understand why you'requarreling over these passersby.

"A healthy relationship is all about understanding and tolerance. It’s to be able to think differentlyand put yourself in another person's shoes rather than making demands and restrictions. Theo hasbecome better and better over the years. He compromises and is tolerant, so much so that he trieshis best not to give you any pressure when he knows that you refuse to be a housewife. But whereare your changes? Do you really not want to grow at all?"

Cassey's words hit me hard across the face like a vicious slap.

After so many years of marriage, I had always thought I loved him and was genuinely good to him.However, that was not the case at all. I often thought that everything should happen the way Iwanted it to be, and if it was not the case, I would think that it was wrong.

Moreover, I had never made an effort to understand him. From the moment my baby died, tolearning that he had swapped Cindy and my DNA reports, I had been making a fuss. In the end, itseemed like Theo was the one who was hurt the most.

All this time, I seemed to be taking revenge on him and making demands in the name of love.

Seeing me fall silent, Cassey let out a long sigh. "Wanda, it's easy to love. All it takes is a bit ofhormone stimulation, but it's difficult to keep each other. It takes two for mutual understanding towork. He understands you, but you don't understand him enough, so he'll be the first to becomedisappointed in the end. From what I'm seeing, you've been hurting Theo this whole time—even tothe point of crossing the line.

"Theo carries the traits of a soldier. He’s responsible and extremely loyal. He can't leave Cindybehind. You should really be understanding of this. If he's someone who can leave Cindy behindwithout a single care, then he wouldn’t have pursued you for so long. It's time you reflect onyourself."

I nodded, realizing that I seem to have been too impulsive and wilful. I had never put myself inTheo’s shoes, nor did I truly understand him.

Recalling what she said earlier about Grant Corporation being in trouble, I asked, "What happenedin the company?"

I had been away from Whaldorf City for a very long time, so there were many things here that I wasunaware of.

Theo never mentioned any of these things to me, so it was even harder for me to know.

Cassey scratched her head. "Several years ago, it was revealed that Grant Corporation's privatehospital was charging an exorbitant amount, and there was also a medical incident. This matter wasdealt with, but for some reason, it's being brought up again. Some even said that Theo is relying onCarlson's power to bid for plots of land using unfair means, so the construction for several plots ofland that Grant Corporation plans to work on is currently on hold. This was big news."

I frowned. “Who brought up the past incident? Also, why is Carlson dragged into the land biddingconflict?"
