Chapter 64


    Theo hugged me very tightly, so tight I could hardly breathe. I had never seen him like this-fragile and


    perhaps a little bit clingy.


    He buried his head into the crook of my neck and murmured, “Let’s just be happy from today onwards.


    Let’s not fight anymore.”


    The warmth of his breath stroked my cars, as well as that low, velvety voice of his


    Theo pulled me in closer and said, “Don’t move, let me hug you for a little while longer.” His voice was


    resounding and left no room for me to deny him what he wanted.


    All I could do was sit in his arms and Listen to his murmuring,


    It was a rare atmosphere, one that held both harmony and tenderness.


    I was not used to this. A dull fire ruse from the bottom of my heart as I wiggled


    He chuckled softly. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.


    I was speechless. My body was stiff, and I did not know what to do. To be honest, I had mixed feelings


    about how he was acting right now a little conflicted, a little awful.


    This was the first time Theo and I had been rtively close since that incident with Cindy, and I realized


    that my body was rejecting him now. There was an odd sense of difort within me.


    I did not react to those feelings as my mind was upied. I was still thinking about how I could ask him


    for help. He was the only hope I had left for saving Cecilia


    All men were the same.


    I jolted to my senses, my whole body suddenly tensing up.


    He lifted his head and looked at me, an emotion I could not read in his eyes, but h e did not say


    anything. He released me and walked out the door, leaving me


    and lonely


    After a moment of hesitation, I chased after him


    I followed him to his room, where he was standing frostily on his balcony with a ss of red wine in his


    hands. I took the initiative to walk forward and hug his waist from behind. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do


    what I did.”


    He stood there, unimoving, his body stiff and his face gloomy and cold. After a long pause, he asked in


    a low voice, “How did things get to this point?”


    I shook my head, silent.


    I would never tell him about the recording


    After another long pause, he sighed.” Alright, go sleep now. It’s gettingte.” It was obvious he was


    feeling pretty down


    Iid on the bed but could not get to sleep. I tossed and turned the entire time


    Theoid beside me, his breathing a little erratic but his body still.

    He seemed to be taken aback for a moment before turning around and wrapping his arms around me.


    An action-filled night ensued in the bedroom


    After a long while, the action ceased, and a calmness took over the roof


    He was finally looking a little happier, and as he hugged me to sleep, he seemed satisfied.


    I was still thinking of how to ask him for help. Tonight was really not the best time to do so, but Cecilia


    was still in the police station. If I did not act soon, it would be harder to change things once they were


    set in stone


    “Theo, I have a favor to ask.” After much hesitation, I finally said it.
