Chapter 440
I grabbed my hair in frustration and said, "Theo Grant, can you please stop overthinking? Can you
not think about me and Matthew that way? I''m just helping him since he''s going through a hard time
right now. How can I turn a blind eye to his situation when he has helped me so much?"
Theo pursed his lips and insisted, saying, "There are countless ways to repay him. I don''t care as
long as you don''t give him yourpanionship. What will happen to me if you two start having
feelings for each other?"
I realized I could no longer get my words through his head, so I got up and headed toward the
bathroom.
He was also feeling frustrated, so he did not continue t o pester me with his nonsense.
As soon as I got out of the bathroom, I thought that Theo might have gone to his study to sulk. Even
so, I went back to the bathroom to dry my hair without having much concern about him.
I began feeling a little drowsy halfway through drying my hair, so I turned off the hairdryer and
prepared to leave the bathroom.

I did not notice the drops of water on the floor from
when I left the bathroom earlier with still dripping wet hair. As a result, I slipped and fell.
It was only when I felt a sharp pang on my ankle that I realized I had twisted it. It was a disaster.
I touched my ankle and gasped in pain.
Theo came in and noticed that I was sitting on the floor. Hisplexion changed after he noticed
that I had a swollen ankle. "Are you dumb?”
I red at him. "You''re dumb! Your family is dumb!"
He replied without any mercy, "Including you."
"You!" I eximed while feeling wronged.
He carried me up and said, "How did you manage to fall after taking a shower? I think you shouldn''t
take care of people. You''re too stupid for that."
I was so angry to the point that I wanted to bite his head off after hearing his sarcastic words. "It
was an ident. Nobody is perfect. Are you having fun putting hidden meanings into your words?"
Theo snorted coldly. "I''m not insinuating anything. You''re probably just feeling guilty.”
"Theo Grant, were you an *sshole in your past life too?" I fought back as I gritted my teeth.
"Even though we''re not divorced, you''re already bing disgusted with me and looking down on
m e. You can just tell me and stop beating about the bush if you really want to be with him," Theo
said as he
sneered.
What was wrong with his brain?
What the hell was going on with him? i
Iy on the bed, took a deep breath, and said patiently, "Theo, let’s have a talk. Matthew was the
one by my side during the lowest times of my life. How could I leave him be when he''s suffering
now?"
I continued speaking after a pause, "If there were really something going on between us, why would
I still be here with you?"
Theo was ignoring my words and even sneered at me." Why not just marry him since he has always
been there for you?"
"I''ll do so if you have no objections!" I could not stand him anymore. "You''re being unreasonable
now. Why don''t you marry Cindy since she''s good to you with all her heart?”
I had to be more unreasonable than he was in order to deal with him. I was perfectly aware of this.
Hisplexion darkened. He was so angry that he did not talk for a long time.
After a while, he left the room and returned with a first aid kit in hand.
He took the ointment out and applied it to my ankle. I stopped him and said coldly, "I don’t need you
to do it for me. I can do it on my own."
"I can''t even touch you now?" Theo sneered.
His words were not even logical now.
"Get the hell out of here!" I could not help but throw the pillow at him.
Theo looked at me with a gloomy face for a moment before leaving.
I was so angry that it took me a while to calm myself down. I then took the ointment and applied it to
my ankle.
I started feeling a little thirsty after the argument with Theo, so I drank a cup of water after applying
the ointment.
