Chapter 703
I did not refuse. Theo was definitely different from before. Every bit of his life was scrutinized closely
by the media. Keith was worried that I might run into trouble if I went out alone. After all, as Theo''s
woman, my safety was of utmost importance to him.
However, had he gone from being Theo''s special assistant to my bodyguard?
When I looked at Cindy, she said with a smile, "It''s been a really long time.”
I smiled slightly, feeling a little dazed. She had be more mature and charming. Now that she
had a career of her own, she was no longer the ordinary woman who was only dependent on Theo.
I said, "It''s been a while."
"Let’s go for a cup of coffee," she said. Her gaze fell on Keith as she continued, "There''s a private
cafe that''s quite concealed."
I nodded. Before I got into the car, I saw several Leopards driving over not far away. They were
parked neatly in front of Cindy''s car. Immediately after that, several men who looked like
bodyguards got out of the car.
Keith shielded me and said in a deep, calm voice
while looking at Cindy and me. "There''s no need to go t o the cafe. Come in if you want to talk."
Cindy apparently did not expect the sudden appearance of these men. After hesitating for a
moment, she narrowed her eyes and said, "It''s fine. It’s just a few words. I''ll leave after speaking."
After a pause, her lips curled into a sneer. “Looks like someone is more eager to see you than I
am."
I pursed my lips and did not say a word.
She put her phone in her bag and crossed her arms. Looking at me, she asked, "Since you''re
divorced now and chose to leave back then, why did youe back?"
Those words were said in a blunt and calm enough manner. She had really changed a lot.
I retracted my gaze from the ck-d bodyguards and replied ndly, "This is my business and it
has nothing to do with you, Cindy."
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
She sneered. "It has something to do with me, of course. I''ve worked so hard to be a better person
in thest three years to be a woman who''s worthy of him. Now that you''re suddenly back, how are
you going to repay all the hard work I’ve put in in thest three years?"
There were bodyguards at home who were guarding the door at all times. They were well-trained
and rushed over to stand in front of the three of us.
I looked at Cindy and saw that there was no expression on her face. "If there was a chance for you
two to get together, then it wouldn''t be taking so long."
Her face turned cold. "Wanda Lane, you destroyed my love and my family. I wish you weren''t back.
Now that you''re back, do you think I''ll just take it lying down?
"I’m warning you, if I can''t get him this time, I’ll not let both of you have it easy either."
Her words did not set me off. Standing in her shoes, she was not wrong for being obsessed and in
love. She was working hard to fight for what she wanted and that was quite inspirational.
I nodded and saw a Rolls-Royce driving over from afar. I looked at the license te and knew that it
was not Theo. I quickly said, "Don''t practice double standards, Cindy. Ask yourself, haven’t you
done enough hurtful things to me? But if you insist on treating me as a thorn in your side, then I''ll
y this game with you to the end.
"However, I hope you understand that you and Theo will never stand a chance together. Even if I''m
not here, you''ll not be together either. You’re not 20 years old anymore. Are you sure you want to
keep wasting your youth like this?"
After a pause, I continued, "You can be crazy for love if you’re only 18 or 20, but now that you''re 30,
you should know that sometimes life is more important than love. You have beauty and ability, so
even though you have no chance with a man like Theo, I''m sure there are many outstanding men
around you. There’s nothing wrong with choosing second best."
I was speaking the truth, but I should not be the one saying this because no proud woman would
allow herself to be insulted like that. Therefore, she got mad.
When her hand came down, it was blocked by Matthew, who came striding over. After such a long
time of not meeting him, the man''s countenance had grown to be even darker and more
sullen. The viciousness on his face was even more intimidating than ever.
"You don''t want your hand anymore, huh?" The man''s voice was extremely low and carried endless
coldness.
Cindy drew out her hand and looked down. The man''s grip was so strong that her wrist had be
very red.
