Chapter 360 I did not want to have any connection to Theo anymore. I just wanted to leave as I walked past him.
"Wanda." He grabbed my arm and said in a raspy voice, "As long as you give up your thoughts of divorce and chwith me, I can promise you anything." His tone was no different from one of a man begging. I clenched my hands into fists, and I felt a stuffiness in my chest.
Theo was an arrogant person who had a strong sense of self-esteem. It was hard for him to apologize, let alone beg someone.

He did not know anything about love at all. I had asked him about this in the past, and he had givena variety of answers, but never the answer-"! love you." "You're promisingeverything, right?" I asked with a smile.
'It doesn't matter anymore. Whatever the reason may be, I no longer care about why he refuses to divorce me.' Theo nodded.
He did not even hesitate. I pursued my lips and said flatly, "I want you to have nothing to do with Cindy Reed, and the both of you will be like strangers from now on." "Alright." Theo immediately agreed.
I continued to state my conditions. "I want absolute freedom. You can't interfere with my matters from now on." This time, he did not immediately agree, so I sneered and said, "If you don't agree to it, it's alright. I won't force you." When he saw that I was going to leave, he grabbed my arm tightly and said hurriedly, "I promise you. As long as you're willing to chwith me, I'll promise you anything you want." I looked at him calmly, and after a while, I lowered my eyes and smiled. "Then cand fetchtomorrow." "Can't it be today?" Right now, Theo was like a child who had caught hold of something he liked and did not want to let go of it.
"No." I declined his request with no mercy.
Theo had no choice but to let go of me. "Alright, but you must wait for me." I nodded faintly, turned around, and entered the apartment.
Matthew had been standing by the elevator, waiting for me. When he sawcoming in, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go up quickly." The doors of the elevator slowly closed, and I said, " Matthew, I'll be going back with Theo tomorrow." "What did you say?" Matthew could not believe his ears and stared atblankly.
"I know what I'm doing." I lowered my eyes and avoided meeting his eyes. "Besides, he and I haven't even filed for a divorce yet, yet we always hang out together..." Matthew gritted his teeth and said in a desolate tone," I've said this before, that's not something to worry about. And I've also said that I'll take care of everything."

I was not a fool. I obviously knew about his feelings toward me. He had helpedso much and treatedso well, and I really did not want him to get hurt because of me. As the saying goes, agony now is better than suffering deferred. I could not be so selfish anymore, so I must stay away from him. When the doors opened, I walked out of the elevator and turned my back to him. "Matthew, thank you for taking care ofall this while." "Don't you have any feelings for me?" His hoarse voice cfrom behind.
I was silent for a long time. Then, I said softly, "You deserve better." It could not be more obvious that I was rejecting him. Matthew sighed softly and said, "Don't stay up too late." After I returned to my place and washed up, I went back to my bedroom and laid down. 1
