Chapter 1053


    I looked at Theo''s nk expression and said, "I thought I could continue to be with you even though


    I didn’t love you, but Iter realized that I couldn''t do it a t all. I felt like I was living in hell facing you


    every day, so I decided to leave."


    I continued after a pause, "Besides, I met someone more outstanding than you, and he''s Jordan.


    Therefore, I hope you can do me a favor seeing how you''ve hurt me before. Let me go. Let me find


    a better man and search for my own happiness."


    "Your own happiness?"


    Theo smiled, but his smile was more hideous than his crying face. "What about my happiness?"


    I felt a pang in my heart. I was not brave enough to look at him. I said in a deep voice, "That''s what


    you should figure out yourself.”


    Later, Theo fell silent for a very long time before saying slowly, "Have you ever thought about my


    feelings when you moved in with him so eagerly and joined Fredericks Corporations?"


    His voice was deep and restrained, his charming face filled with frost. It made him seem particrly


    grim and terrifying.


    This version of Theo was truly terrifying. Even I was afraid.


    I took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "What choice was there? We have to live


    for ourselves. Jordan isn''t inferior to you, be it his looks o r his ability. Most importantly, he epts


    me the way I am even though he knows my past. He''s really good t o me."


    He stared at me for a very long time, seemingly trying t o search for clues that I was lying. However,


    he found none.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    After a long time, Theo said with a sneer, "Very well."


    He hissed those words through clenched teeth.


    He got up and walked toward the car. He stopped to think after taking a few steps, then turned


    around and asked me, "I''ll ask you again, Wanda Lane. Do you really mean what you just said?"


    "Yes.” I did not waver in the slightest. "I mean every word I said. They’re all sincere." 1


    Since I decided to break it off, then I must do it once and for all.


    Constant entanglement was not good for us.


    Theo sneered, his smile looking particrly cold." Very well, then. In that case, I have no reason to


    continue to make a fool of myself."


    He turned around and left after saying that.


    I did not look at his back when he left and sat dazedly on the bench. My heart felt as though it had


    been emptied out.


    Grandma used to say that I was too indecisive, that I did not know how to let go, so I would only get


    myself killed sooner orter.


    I was on the way to self-harming right now. The pain and sufferings I was going through were self-


    inflicted.


    In the dead of night, I asked myself why must I separate from Theo?


    I did not know the answer to this question either. Perhaps I was a lunatic and would only be


    satisfied after chasing away everyone who loved me.


    There were too many unpleasant memories between u s. We were still young and would continue to


    argue in the next decade or so. I feared that I would bring up the bad memories between us every


    time we quarreled, using them as a reason or excuse to hurt him. 1


    I did not want to spend every day of our lives for the decades toe in unhappiness.


    After sitting by the river for God knew how long, I came back to my senses and realized that it was


    close to dusk.


    When I got back to Fredericks Corporations, I quickly drafted the bid proposal.


    When it was time to leave work, Jordan walked into m y office.


    He wore a white blouse with a ck suit jacket draped on his arm. He looked tremendously


    lackadaisical.


    "Mr. Fredericks." I stood up to greet him.
