Chapter 947
"Theo,” | called out to him. My voice was not very loud but it was loud enough for him to hear it from this
distance.
However, he did not seem to hearas he continued t o stand there.
| sat up from the bed. Just as | planned to get out of bed to go to him, he turned his head. His eyes were dark and
deep, carrying traces of coldness. "You're awake?"
| nodded. "When did you cback?"
He did not reply and merely walked up toin silence. He looked at me.
| was flustered by his gaze and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
He spoke slowly, his voice filled with coldness, "If it weren't for Munchkin, would you have leftwithout a
second thought?"
| frowned. "What are you talking about?”
"You met up with Matthew?” he asked in an exceedingly calm voice.
Although he seemed calm, | knew he was exploding with anger.
| pursed my lips and explained, "I wasn't feeling very well so | went to the hospital to get myself checked. | ran
into him at the entrance of the hospital."
He fell silent for a very long tbefore sitting on the bed and lifting his hand to stroke my hair. "Promise m e
that you'll never see him again."
No matter how soft his voice was, | knew through my many years of being with him that he was very mad at the
moment.
Moreover, Theo seemed especially terrifying when he was suppressing his anger in his heart like this.
Therefore, | could only nod my head in compliance. | tried my best not to infuriate him further. "I didn’t want to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsee him either. We happened to run into each other this time, so | had no way of avoiding him."
"I'll deal with it," Theo said in an icy tone.
My heart tightened. "What do you plan to do?"
"Wanda!" Theo's sharp eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't makeangrier."
| pursed my lips and said no more.
He touched my forehead and said blandly, "Your fever i s down. Take your pills after you have your meal later
and get srest. I'll cback earlier tonight."
| nodded. "I'll take care of myself. You go deal with work."
I would be suffocated to death if he did not leave.
After Theo left, Caroline brought the dishes upstairs.
After having my meal and taking my pills, | felt sleepy in no time. However, | could not sleep no matter what. My
mind was in a mess.
Just two days ago, | had watched a short video about relationships. In the video, it was said that when a woman
left a man when he was most in love with her, that man would love her forever. Otherwise, it would b e difficult
to escape the ending where both end up in mutual distaste.
Although this was a saddening way to put it, it was not entirely wrong either.
Matthew was right. The Grants needed an heir of their own bloodline. It might be fine if | did not give birth in the
next two years, but what about the two years after that?
Quinn would start to pay special attention to this and bring it up to Theo often. Perhaps she would even
persuade him to divorcestraight away. | could not say for sure that Theo would not be unhappy with me.
No matter how close the bond between two people was, it would still be difficult to withstand the deliberate
destruction that cfrom others.
What was more, an even more outstanding woman had appeared beside him. In fact, | lacked confidence i n
saying that Theo would not fall in love with her.
Theo and Elena were a perfect match in every aspect.
Most importantly, Elena had a very healthy body and could give birth to a baby for him.
The more | thought about it, the worse | felt. | could not lie in bed anymore and went downstairs to watch TV.
Theo cback at five o'clock.
We had dinner together. After dinner, Munchkin wantedto do puzzles with him. | played with him for almost
an hour before my head started to hurt a little, so | went back to the room to rest.
Not long after Theo went to the study to finish his work, he returned to the bedroom as well.
He seemed to be in a much better mood and was finally not pulling a long face.
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, he sat on the bed and tried to hold my hand. However, |
avoided it and looked up at him with a small smile. | said, "You're probably tired after a
busy day. Lie down and get srest."
Although it was difficult to tell from my face, Theo knew that something was wrong. We both knew each other
very well when it cto things like this.
He pressed both hands besideand trappedfirmly in between. "Wanda, tellwhat I've done to upset
you?”
"I'm not upset with you." I looked at him with calm eyes.
Theo frowned and said angrily, "Are you heartbroken after seeing how down and out Matthew is now? Do you
want to be a saint and save him again?”
| was infuriated too. "What nonsense are you talking about, Theo Grant?"
"Nonsense?" Theo sneered. "You pushedto Elena i n the dessert shop yesterday and went to the hospital
today to meet Matthew. You're preparing to go to him now, aren't you?"
I laughed in anger. Not bothering to talk sense into him, | said angrily, “Elena is both talented and beautiful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe's a better match for you than me."
Theo gritted his teeth. "Am | supposed to thank you for being so considerate, then?"
| tilted my head to the side and said coldly, "You're welcome."
| heard a gust of wind beside my ear. Theo smashed his fist into the wall beside my head and roared," You're
really something, Wanda Lane! Other women often rack their brains to stop their husbands from cheating and
here you are, afraid that | won't cheat!"
The last few words were almost squeezed out of his teeth. His anger had reached the extreme.
| was momentarily speechless and could only hold my tongue.
"Look at me." Theo pinched my chin and forcedto look into his eyes. "Do you really want to go to
Matthew?” "How many times do | have to say that | don't love him at all?"
| felt tremendously aggrieved and teared up uncontrollably. "I just thought you had work to discuss in the dessert
shop yesterday. That's why | left. | figured it was inappropriate forto be there. Besides, | really wanted to go
shopping in the mall. | said it before that | trust you won't do anything to hurt me, and neither will I. Matthew and
| just happened to run into each other in the hospital today.”
Theo's expression eased up when he saw that | had teared up.
He fell silent for a very long tand said, "I'm sorry, | got too emotional.”
| shook my head, not saying a word. | then pushed him away to go to the bathroom.
Only an evenly-matched love could go a long way. We were too far apart from each other.
After entering the bathroom and looking at my pale face in the mirror, | was a little dazed. How was | supposed
to finish the rest of the journey?
