Chapter 2156


    The entire room fell silent.


    Bonnie furrowed her brows and shot Theo an exasperated re.


    She knew that Theo was acting impulsively because of his overconsuming guilt toward Roanne, that


    this was his way ofpensating for Roanne’s tragic death, but Rachel had been the love of his life


    before this!


    How could he say something so hurtful in front of her? Even if he did not want to be with Rachel


    anymore in the future, it did not give him the green light to treat her like this.


    As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie exhaled and lifted her head to stare at Theo coldly. You don’t


    think she has anything to do with this? Can you guarantee that you won’t regret what you said today?


    “If you can guarantee that, then I’ll let you do whatever you want, including marrying a dead girl that


    you won’t be able to bring home to your parents. I don’t care whatever you do!


    “If you can’t guarantee that you won’t regret your decision in the future, you should take back what you


    just said!


    “There are other ways ofpensating for Roanne’s death, like helping her track down her birth


    parents so that she can at least rest in peace knowing she has a family, but instead, you choose to do it


    in the most destructive way for both you and the people around you!” Bonnie’s tone was so stern and


    solemn that Theo stiffened upon hearing this.


    He furrowed his brows and was about to say something, but in the end, he changed his mind and


    remained silent.


    Seeing that Theo did not reply, Bonnie immediately understood that he was not entirely gone; his


    rationality was intact. As long as…


    “What’s going on? You chickened out?”


    All of a sudden, Rachel stood up and stared coldly at Theo.


    “Judging by how determined you were, I thought you’d stand by your promise of marrying that dead


    girl, so why are you hesitating now?.


    “Do you somehow think that I’d still ept you if you came running back to me even after all this? Well,


    let me tell you this, Theo: I’ll never take you back.”


    She curled her lips into a smile continued, “Never. Everyone has always thought I’m entric, Theo,


    and you yourself know that, but the fact is, I’m just someone who sticks to her word, no matter how


    hard it is.

    “Let me tell you this onest time, Theo: there’s no way we’d ever be together anymore.”


    Then, she dangled her phone in front of them and added, “My fiance ising to fetch me soon, and


    I’m going to leave now. Meanwhile, I wish you and your dead wife nothing but the best and that you’ll


    live happily ever after. Goodbye.”


    Then, she turned and strode away. Theo remained motionless, staring at Rachel’s retreating figure, the


    light dissipating from his gaze.


    Bonnie furrowed her brows and nudged him.


    “Go get her back!”


    “It’s toote now,” Theo muttered.


    “The moment she makes up her mind…there’s no turning back.”


    Then, he turned to stare at the civil rights officer, who was still frozen in shock.


    “Is there really no way to legally marry Roanne and me?” The officer said with a pained expression,


    “Sir… I really can’t help you. If you really want to, maybe you can…you can host a ceremony to bind


    your souls together and feel like you’re truly married?”


    Theo sighed and was about to say something in reply when Harvey, who had been silent all this while,


    sprinted over to them.
