Chapter 1025
I tried to push him away but he held my hand down. The man’s voice was low and hoarse. "Where
do you n to push me to? How far do you n to push me away?"
My heart suddenly throbbed. I failed to get the words out of my chest and allowed him to nt
scattered kisses that carried a hint of punishment all over me.
In the dark, tears could not help but well up in my eyes. I spoke in a hoarse voice, "I never knew
what poppies were like. I''ve only heard others saying that they''re beautiful but have never seen
them for myself. But I saw them just the other day. They''re indeed beautiful, but they''re also very
dangerous. Because once you get hooked, you can never quit.”
After a pause, I continued, "You’re just like this kind of flower, Theo."
The man stopped moving, still sounding like he was short of breath.
Even though I could not see his face clearly in the dark, I was able to guess his expression.
He asked, "Why did you go there?"
His hands were tightly fastened around my waist when he asked the question as though he was
afraid
that I might suddenly dash off.
I was still thinking of ways to reply but could not think of a reasonable answer in the end, so I could
only helplessly say, "I identally went there.”
The man frowned. "To hide from me?"
I pursed my lips, not denying it.
Maybe it was better to let him misunderstand. After all, I had already thought it through. If I could not
give him a better future, then I would have to ruthlessly push him away.
He buried his face in between my neck and asked." Who did you go with?”
I did not know how to answer this question. After thinking for a very long time, I answered, "You
should ask me who I came back with.”
There was a faint coldness in the air. Theo was angry.
"We shouldn''t be like this, Wanda!” There was repressed anger in his heart. "You know very well
that if I refuse to let go, then you can never escape from m e. I''ll never let go of you, so we''re
destined to be together forever. We won’t be separated by anything."
I pursed my lips and broke his grip on my waist. I said in a slightly cold and indifferent voice, "Do
you know what it means to not love anymore, Theo? I''m not happy when I''m with you. Everything in
the past feels like a stab in the heart. Every time I see you, I''ll think o f my dead child. Because of
your mistake, I can''t be a
mother again, so I beg you to please let me go, okay?"
I vaguely saw the man''s tall and slender body sway in the dark. I could not see his expression, but I
could tell from his rapid breathing and the aura he was emitting right now that he was in despair.
I thought those words would be enough for him to willingly let me go.
"Is there no other way?" he asked, his voice extremely hoarse.
I felt a lump in my throat. "No. Let''s each search for a life of our own and give each other some
peace."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
I felt every fiber of my body hurting, and for the first time ever, I learned that all the nerves in one''s
body would hurt along with the heart when a person was sad.
Theo let out a self-deprecating smile. "What do you mean by search for a life of our own? Just
because you can let go of everything and leave, you think everyone can do the same too?"
I pursed my lips, not wanting to listen to what he was about to say because I feared that I would not
be able t o control myself from rushing over and embracing him, telling him that I did not want to
leave and I could not do it at all.
However, it would be too selfish of me if I did that.
Upon returning to the private room where Shannon and the rest were, everyone turned to look at
me at the
same time.
Shannon rolled her eyes at me. "What took you so long? Are you constipated?"
I speechlessly red at her and sat back down, saying, "I met a friend and we chatted for a while."
