Chapter 570


    I nced at him, then at Cindy. "Come in and talk."


    The two female servants standing in front of her stepped aside. Cindy looked at me with a sullen


    expression. "You don’t have to fake good intentions."


    I nearly burst outughing.


    Had it not been because I was worried that her madness would disturb Munchkin who was sleeping


    upstairs, I would have asked the security guards to drive her out straight away.


    "Please help me, Theowy.” Cindy grabbed Theo’s arms. "If you don''t help me, then death is my only


    way out."


    No matter how much Theo hated Cindy''s guts at the moment, he was not going to just send her to


    her doom. He said indifferently, "How do you want me to help you?"


    "I want to meet my mother." Cindy''s tears rolled down.


    I opened my mouth in shock. A child was actually begging someone else to see her mother? What


    was going on?


    Theo pulled out his arm from hers. "I can help you but you must stoping to me in the future."


    Cindy''s countenance abruptly paled. I could tell that


    she was very reluctant but she could only agree now.


    The moment she agreed, there was a look of pain in her eyes.


    "Go home." Theo turned to look at me. "My wife and I haven''t finished our meal yet. We won''t be


    entertaining you."


    After being chased out so directly, Cindy''s body quivered but she still said, "Okay."


    She turned around and walked out of the vi, her steps flustered.


    When she was no longer in view, I pursed my lips and looked at Theo. "Are you this merciless to


    every woman?"


    "Not to you," he replied, his gaze as deep as the ocean.

    Not wanting to continue this subject, I asked, "Cindy really isn''t Petra and Grayson''s daughter?"


    No way. That would be too cliche.


    Theo put his arm around my shoulder but did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Do you


    want t o find your biological parents?"


    I froze. "Why do I have a feeling that we''re both talking about different things?"


    Theo frowned. "Do you want to?"


    I shook my head resolutely. "No. It''s been so many years. Even if I do find them, I won’t know how


    to get along with them either. I may not necessarily have feelings for them. I''ll feel stressed trying to


    get along with them."


    After a pause, I continued, "If they abandoned me back then because they didn’t want me anymore,


    then they wouldn’t regret their decision or want to reunite with me. That''ll only cause me pain for the


    second time."


    Seeing the increasinglyplicated look on Theo’s face, my gaze grew more and more doubtful.


    “Why are you suddenly asking this question?"


    It was strange. Tyler had asked me the same question too. Why was Theo asking this question


    now? Why were they so concerned about my parents?


    Theo shook his head. "Nothing. I''m just asking out of curiosity."


    I pursed my lips and said no more.


    We returned to the dining room to finish our lunch. There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and


    when w e returned to the bedroom and saw Munchkin sound asleep, we took a nap as well.


    I woke up when it was nearly five o''clock. I received a message from Xander. He had sent me the


    time and venue for the banquet tonight.


    I showed it to Theo. “Are you really going to have dinner with Petra?"


    Theo nodded. "Are youing?"


    I first shook my head, then nodded.


    Heughed. "So do you want to go or not?" "I don’t know either." I was in a dilemma. Although I did


    not want to see Petra, I was curious as to why they were inviting us for dinner.


    Theo pulled me up from the bed. "Let’s go together, then."
