Chapter 102 I was sweating because I did not expect him to read the news reports which referred toas 'mysterious rich madam'.
The whole thing was my fault and I could not help but sigh. "Theo, we've been together for so many years. You should knowby now. You're the only man for n me.
"Heh, you overestimate me, Wanda. How could I possibly know you? You're conceited and always go too far. You have your own opinion about everything. When have you ever prioritized me?" He laughed coldly, his face overcast. His dark eyes were gloomy and chilly.

I was not happy, so I could not be bothered to be polite. "Theo, you should watch what you say. We've been together for years. Who's the one who always goes too far? What about your incident with Miss Reed? Isn't that just as bad? Did I ever say anything about that? You know that the news isn't true, so why don't you just listen to my explanation?" When I saw that he was not saying anything, I continued, "You should know very well how you've been treatingall this while. If it weren't for the baby that I'm pregnant with, you would've probably kickedout of the house by now." The more I spoke, the more wronged I felt. My tears could not help but fall.
He was silent and looked atwith a chill in his eyes, not saying a word.
His silence gavea burst of courage. I wiped away my tears and continued, "Don't look atlike that. Everything I said is the truth. I know you don't love m e and Grandma was the one who forced you to marry me. But this is just a stumbling block, Theo. I've been with you for three years and love you tenderly. But you? All you want to do is kickout and forceto divorce you." I was so emotional that I started crying. Although there was an element of acting, everything I said was the truth.
Theo put down his phone, grabbed a tissue from the table, and handed it to me. His face darkened as he said, "You're going to end up eating your snot at this rate." I did not take the tissue he offeredand let my tears and snot slide down my face.
I paused and continued to vent, "Clearly, someone's trying to frme. It's fine if you don't want to help me, but to mockand speak sarcastically to hurt me? You think I'm hurting your reputation, but have you ever thought about how many times you've hurtin the past three years? Or how wronged I feel?" I sobbed and continued, "When this happened, I was afraid and wanted to explain it to you, but you blockedbefore you knew what actually happened. You even changed the locks to our house so that I couldn't cback." When I cried and told him that I was wronged, Theo's face finally eased up and he looked atwith a smile. When I saw that he was not angry anymore, I decided to strike while the iron was hot and continued, "Theo I know that you've always wanted to kickout of the house, but even then, you should divorcefirst so that I can marry someone else and my child will have someone to call Dad'." "Shut up! Are you done?" He suddenly spoke with a voice full of anger, "Who would want to marry you?" "Why not? You don't want us, so why do you care if I remarry or not? Since I'm disliked, I'd better leave and not be a bother to you." After I said that, I got up and pretended to leave. I had exhausted all my methods and said everything I wanted to say, even if I should not have. It was his choice whether he wanted to forgive me. There was nothing else I could do.
He grabbed my hand and said, "You must be tired from all the crying, so you're probably hungry. Let's have dinner!" "Yes, yes. Have your dinner first, Young Mistress. I made your favorite dishes." Miss Woods cout at the right tto be the peacemaker.

When I saw that we were back to being on good terms, I knew I should not push it anymore. Whenft stood there without moving or saying anything, Theo got up and pulledtoward the dining room. The entire dinner felt awkward. Theo did not say a word and would put food on my plate from tto time. I could not refuse, so I just buried my head and ate silently.
Since Miss Woods rarely ate with us, she gota bowl of chicken soup as she said, "Pregnant women should have enough nutrition. Otherwise, it might affect the child's intelligence. And make sure your mood is always good. Don't cry too much if you want your child to be smart and have a good personality." Although I knew that Miss Woods was talking nonsense, I just listened to her quietly and nodded.
Theo's eyes were slightly narrowed and he looked like he was thinking about something, but I did not know what was on his mind. Even so, it seemed that he had calmed down a little.
After eating, I sat there with shesitation. Earlier, h e toldto have dinner before I left. However, if Meft now all my effort would be wasted. If I did not, he would just continue to ignoreand it would be very awkward. х
