Chapter 1298


    Cassey took a deep breath as though she could not stand it any longer. "Wanda, I think you''re


    awfully inexperienced when ites to rtionships. Also, in everyone else’s eyes, what you''re


    doing is simply kicking up a fuss. If I were to analyze your behavior, you’re acting like this because


    you think that Theo will never leave you no matter what you do. You think that he''ll always find a


    way to persuade you toe back.


    "He’s spoiled you, and that led to your indulgence in this game of having him chase after you. You


    often encourage others to cherish their loved ones but are you doing as you say? Has it ever


    crossed your mind that maybe you and Theo''s rtionship will actuallye to an end


    when he bes exhausted one day?"


    I froze. Her words came at me like a blow, leaving me dumbfounded.


    Cassey continued, "Caleb''s and my rtionship isn''t as passionate as yours, nor do we experience


    challenges like you do, but our marriagees in the most basic form. In our tiny home, trivial


    matters such as not washing one''s socks, neglecting the baby, or fighting over work stress one


    party brings home may be a constant, but we both acknowledge that this is just a small part of life.


    We understand that we should let these matters pass. They''re not to be taken seriously.


    "Most of the time, we''ll give each other a morning kiss and a hug before we leave the house. When


    one of us faces stress and blues at work, everything bes worth it


    the moment wee home and see each other. The rtionship that Caleb and I share is ordinary


    andsting. We''re raising a baby together, and as we offer our love for each other, we share the


    love with our baby at the same time.


    "Perhaps your and Theo''s rtionship is more passionate than any of us, but there''s a huge


    problem with how both of you view and treat love. You oveplicate love. Just think about it. Is


    Cindy really an obstacle between the two of you? What about Matthew? Not at all. In fact, a person


    will meet plenty of people who will have a crush on them in this lifetime. Are you going to take all of


    them so seriously each time? They''re just passersby in your life. I don''t understand why you''re


    quarreling over these passersby.


    "A healthy rtionship is all about understanding and tolerance. It’s to be able to think differently


    and put yourself in another person''s shoes rather than making demands and restrictions. Theo has


    be better and better over the years. Hepromises and is tolerant, so much so that he tries


    his best not to give you any pressure when he knows that you refuse to be a housewife. But where


    are your changes? Do you really not want to grow at all?"


    Cassey''s words hit me hard across the face like a vicious p.


    After so many years of marriage, I had always thought I loved him and was genuinely good to him.


    However, that was not the case at all. I often thought that everything should happen the way I


    wanted it to be, and if it was not the case, I would think that it was wrong.


    Moreover, I had never made an effort to understand him. From the moment my baby died, to


    learning that he had swapped Cindy and my DNA reports, I had been making a fuss. In the end, it


    seemed like Theo was the one who was hurt the most.


    All this time, I seemed to be taking revenge on him and making demands in the name of love.


    Seeing me fall silent, Cassey let out a long sigh. "Wanda, it''s easy to love. All it takes is a bit of


    hormone stimtion, but it''s difficult to keep each other. It takes two for mutual understanding to


    work. He understands you, but you don''t understand him enough, so he''ll be the first to be


    disappointed in the end. From what I''m seeing, you''ve been hurting Theo this whole time—even to


    the point of crossing the line.


    "Theo carries the traits of a soldier. He’s responsible and extremely loyal. He can''t leave Cindy


    behind. You should really be understanding of this. If he''s someone who can leave Cindy behind


    without a single care, then he wouldn’t have pursued you for so long. It''s time you reflect on


    yourself."


    I nodded, realizing that I seem to have been too impulsive and wilful. I had never put myself in


    Theo’s shoes, nor did I truly understand him.


    Recalling what she said earlier about Grant Corporation being in trouble, I asked, "What happened


    in thepany?"


    I had been away from Whaldorf City for a very long time, so there were many things here that I was


    unaware of.


    Theo never mentioned any of these things to me, so it was even harder for me to know.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Cassey scratched her head. "Several years ago, it was revealed that Grant Corporation''s private


    hospital was charging an exorbitant amount, and there was also a medical incident. This matter was


    dealt with, but for some reason, it''s being brought up again. Some even said that Theo is relying on


    Carlson''s power to bid for plots ofnd using unfair means, so the construction for several plots of


    land that Grant Corporation ns to work on is currently on hold. This was big news."


    I frowned. “Who brought up the past incident? Also, why is Carlson dragged into thend bidding


    conflict?"
