Chapter 537


    Theo darted me a nce and said in an extremely cold tone, "No?"


    I suddenly felt speechless.


    Seeing that he was about to put on his necktie, I quickly said, "It’s not that I don’t want you to go


    out, but it''ste now and the roads are slippery. Besides, you’re unwell, so you''re not in a good state


    to go out."


    Theo sneered. "I''ll listen to your advice but won''t necessarily follow it."


    You win!


    Theo put on his jacket and left the room. Soon, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the


    vi and gradually disappeared.


    I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed a few times. I really had no idea what kind


    of rtionship Theo and I were in at the moment. He refused to ept my proposal to have a


    divorce, so in that case, we should just continue to live in harmony. However, he did not seem to


    want to do that either. 1


    What was I supposed to do, then?


    Petra''s reputation was ruined, while Cindy was sent to


    Salt City. Neither Petra nor Grayson helped her after I stabbed her, and Theo was on my side. That


    had left her tremendously hurt. It would probably take a while for her to recover. 2


    My marriage with Theo had reached an impasse. I was very tired and felt as if I had lost my sense


    of direction in life.


    How should I go about my life in the future?


    I did not know the answer to this question. Therge vi was very quiet. It was as if I was the only


    one in i t. At this moment, I felt like I was in a cemetery.


    It was beginning to snow outside. I sat on the floor and leaned against the bed, lost in thoughts. I


    thought about many things. The more I thought about them, the more irritable I got. Iy on the bed


    and tried to sleep but could not.


    My phone rang at this moment. After picking it up, I saw that it was a call from Tyler.


    After answering the call, I asked ndly, "What''s up?"


    "You and Theo haven’t made up yet?" he asked with augh in return.


    I felt my head hurt and massaged my be. "Do you not have better things to do that you''re


    worrying about my marriage instead of sleeping thiste at night?"


    "I didn''t want to worry about your marriage either, but ..." I could sense that he was gloating. "Maybe


    I shouldn’t tell you that I saw him at The Imperial


    surrounded by a few women. I''m afraid your heart can’t take it."


    After a pause, he continued, "Aren''t you nning to get involved when you know that he''s dallying


    with other women out there thiste at night instead of going home?"


    "That''s very normal." I cast my gaze downward." You''re all men. Why are you allowed to dally with


    women thiste at night instead of staying at home but he can''t?"


    Tyler probably did not expect me to say this and fell silent for a very long time.


    Just as I nned to hang up, he said, "Are you really not concerned that he''s messing with other


    women out there?"


    I raised my wrist and looked at my neatly-trimmed nails. “He’s an adult now and knows what he''s


    doing. It''s his choice to dally with women out there after arguing with me. Since he has made this


    choice, what else can I possibly do? I can stop him but not his heart. I can stop him from doing it


    now but I can''t stop him forever."


    If this were in the past, I would definitely be really heartbroken, but not anymore. People always


    wanted many things in life but did not get what they wanted. Those who were not open-minded


    enough would live i n agony and be very weary. I was now at the stage where I was forced to


    be open-minded and was past the stage of putting love first.


    After all, love was not a necessity in a person''s life. It was not something that one could not live


    without.


    Tyler chuckled. "It’s a good thing that you''re thinking about it that way."


    "If there’s nothing else, then I''m hanging up." I checked the time. "It''ste and time for me to sleep."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "You wouldn''t have been so quick to pick up my call if you could sleep."


    He was really smart.


    I raised my eyebrows. "Spit it. What do you want?"


    "Want to grab a drink together?" Tyler chuckled. "It makes no sense that he''s drinking out there


    while you''re at home looking at the wall and having insomnia."


    I yawned and lifted the nket to get out of bed." You''re right.”


    "I''ll go and pick you up right now."


    After a pause, Tyler continued, "Don’t hang up the phone."


    "Okay."
