The Woman From Hell
Chapter 360

Chapter 360

I did not want to have any connection to Theo anymore. I just wanted to leave as I walked past him.

"Wanda." He grabbed my arm and said in a raspy voice, "As long as you give up your thoughts ofdivorce and come home with me, I can promise you anything."

His tone was no different from one of a man begging. I clenched my hands into fists, and I felt astuffiness in my chest.

Theo was an arrogant person who had a strong sense o f self-esteem. It was hard for him toapologize, let alone beg someone.

'He refuses to divorce me, no matter what. Does he perhaps love me?'

I laughed, I laughed at my ridiculous thoughts. 'How could he possibly be in love with me?'

He did not know anything about love at all. I had asked him about this in the past, and he had givenme a variety of answers, but never the answer-"! love you."

"You're promising me everything, right?” I asked with a smile.

'It doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever the reason may b e, I no longer care about why he refuses todivorce me.'

Theo nodded.

He did not even hesitate. I pursued my lips and said flatly, "I want you to have nothing to do withCindy Reed, and the both of you will be like strangers from now on."

"Alright." Theo immediately agreed.

I continued to state my conditions. "I want absolute freedom. You can't interfere with my mattersfrom now on."

This time, he did not immediately agree, so I sneered and said, "If you don’t agree to it, it's alright. Iwon't force you."

When he saw that I was going to leave, he grabbed my arm tightly and said hurriedly, "I promiseyou. As long as you're willing to come home with me, I'll promise you anything you want."

I looked at him calmly, and after a while, I lowered my eyes and smiled. "Then come and fetch metomorrow."

"Can't it be today?” Right now, Theo was like a child who had caught hold of something he liked anddid not want to let go of it.

"No.” I declined his request with no mercy.

Theo had no choice but to let go of me. "Alright, but you must wait for me."

I nodded faintly, turned around, and entered the apartment.

Matthew had been standing by the elevator, waiting for me. When he saw me coming in, hebreathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go up quickly."

The doors of the elevator slowly closed, and I said, " Matthew, I’ll be going back with Theotomorrow."

"What did you say?" Matthew could not believe his ears and stared at me blankly.

"I know what I'm doing.” I lowered my eyes and avoided meeting his eyes. "Besides, he and Ihaven't even filed for a divorce yet, yet we always hang out together..."

Matthew gritted his teeth and said in a desolate tone," I've said this before, that's not something toworry about. And I've also said that I'll take care of everything."

I grasped my bag and hesitated for a long time before I spoke. "I've already caused you so muchtrouble, and I'd like to avoid these kinds of unnecessary troubles."

I was not a fool. I obviously knew about his feelings toward me. He had helped me so much andtreated m e so well, and I really did not want him to get hurt because of me. As the saying goes,agony now is better than suffering deferred. I could not be so selfish anymore, so I must stay awayfrom him.

When the doors opened, I walked out of the elevator and turned my back to him. "Matthew, thankyou for taking care of me all this while."

"Don't you have any feelings for me?" His hoarse voice came from behind.

I was silent for a long time. Then, I said softly, "You deserve better."

It could not be more obvious that I was rejecting him. Matthew sighed softly and said, "Don't stay uptoo late."

After I returned to my place and washed up, I went back to my bedroom and laid down. 1

'I’ll be going back with Theo tomorrow. I have no idea how to get along with him in the future.Moreover, I'll b e reminded of my dead child every time I see him. I'm afraid I won't be able tosurvive staying with him.’

The more I thought about it, the more I was unable to sleep. I stared at the ceiling blankly, and itwas not until dawn that I fell asleep.
