Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 

Theresa was furious, but Thomas just laughed harder. 

Theresa pushed him toward the door, “Get out, just get out of here!” 

Thomas stood still, unmoved. 

“You…” Theresa was about to lose her temper. 

Thomas quickly explained, “Theresa, there’s been a misunderstanding. I lost feelings for Monica a long time ago. Initially, she was relentless in pestering Ben. But things changed after we made our relationship public. She started bombarding me with odd messages, which led me to block her. The only reason she reached out recently is because she used someone else’s phone.” 

Theresa’s face showed no emotion as she replied, “Oh really? You’re over her, right? Then explain those affectionate hugs that hit the headlines. I can’t imagine what it would be like if you still had feelings.” 

Thomas grabbed her hand, “Theresa, that wasn’t me. I did rush to the scene, but I just stood under the 

building for a while and then left.” 

“Really?” Theresa looked at him skeptically. 

Thomas nodded with a serious look. “I rushed over there because the person on the phone mentioned Monica was going on about a famous actress stealing her boyfriend just before she jumped. I was concerned her wild accusations would damage your reputation, so I didn’t waste a minute getting there.” 

Theresa’s expression softened slightly and asked Thomas, “Why didn’t you tell me this before?” 

Thomas let out a wry smile. “I didn’t want to worry you. Plus, I figured I could handle it on my own.” 

Theresa felt a flicker of emotion in her heart and thought, ‘So, this was why Thomas had left in a hurry!‘ 

Theresa’s guard was beginning to lower, yet she remained inquisitive. She asked Thomas with a hint of curiosity, “Why did you just linger beneath the tall building before leaving?”

cough and said, “Well, we’ve got Ben to thank for that.” 

“Ben?” Theresa was surprised. 

Thomas hurriedly explained, “Remember how Monica harassed Ben several times? Ben holds grudges. He wouldn’t let her off easily.” 

“So, what exactly happened?” This wasn’t unfolding how Theresa expected, and now she’s really intrigued. 

“He did one thing,” said Thomas. “He brought Monica’s ex back.” 

Theresa was stunned, “The ex in the news? It wasn’t you?” 

Thomas appeared innocent as he explained, “It’s just a coincidence that the other guy was wearing a white shirt too. But trust me, it wasn’t me. And I’m definitely not her ex.” 

Theresa began to believe him, her expression softening further. 

Thomas, observing the situation, quickly interjected, “Remember Monica, who was head–over–heels in love with that artist and even eloped with him? That guy was actually eyeing the Lynn family’s fortune. Despite Monica’s deep love, her family refused to loosen their purse strings. In a drastic move, Monica faked her death to leave with him. Initially, the artist was somewhat moved by her intense affection. But, as the novelty wore off and Monica couldn’t bankroll his spending like before, he found an opportunity to ditch her and latched onto a wealthy woman instead.” 

Theresa listened intently, “That’s quite a story…” 

Thomas elaborated, “Monica’s return was one thing, but her knack for stirring up drama really irritated Ben. His reaction? He just passed her information to that painter. That’s the guy who recently broke up with his rich partner and was looking for a new catch. When he found out about Monica, he was ecstatic. It’s rare to find someone as affluent and unsuspecting as her.” 

“That painter returned to the country months ago, but kept his distance, waiting for the right moment. When Monica threatened to jump, he made his move,” Thomas explained. “My guess is, he wanted to swoop in when she was vulnerable.”

After Thomas finished his explanation, he looked hopefully at Theresa, “Theresa, I’m totally committed 

to you.” 

Theresa’s mood had lightened, but she still carried a tone of playful cheekiness as she asked, “So, where were you the entire night last night? How come you didn’t send even one message?” 

“I just wanted to surprise you,” Thomas said. 

“A surprise? What kind?” 

Right then, Thomas went down on one knee. 

Pulling a ring out of his pocket like a magician, he said, “Theresa, marry me.” 

Theresa was totally stunned and thought, ‘Was this a proposal?” 

Seeing Theresa’s silence, Thomas grew anxious. He regretfully shared, “I knew it. I shouldn’t have proposed so hastily. Last night, I ran all over the city, not only rushing to get this ring made but also booking a hotel and arranging flowers for a whole proposal ceremony! I should have proposed with romantic music, not like this. It’s too rushed.” 

Thomas kept rambling on. 

Suddenly, Theresa found it funny. She started laughing, and tears welled up in her eyes. 

“Theresa? What’s wrong?” Thomas was completely flustered. 

“Idiot,” Theresa called him. 

Thomas looked somewhat innocent. 

Theresa, with a stern face, said, “Let me see the ring.” 

Thomas quickly presented the ring with both hands.

Upon receiving the expensive ring, Theresa frowned slightly, puzzled by the lavish expense. 

The diamond on the ring was huge, easily worth millions. 

“It wasn’t that expensive,” Thomas said. 

Theresa, clearly annoyed, told him, “You’ve probably blown through all the money you made acting, right? Saving isn’t easy when you’re a doctor. You’ve got to be more careful with your spending from 

now on.” 

Thomas seemed a bit downcast, not feeling his gesture was appreciated. 

Theresa softened her gaze and said, “But it’s okay, I’ll earn money in the future.” 

Thomas was taken aback. 

After a moment, he realized what she meant and his eyes lit up with joy. “Theresa, does this mean you’re accepting my proposal?” 

Theresa, a bit bashful, said, “Let’s complete the entire proposal process first.” 

Grinning sheepishly at Theresa, Thomas agreed, “Sure, we should definitely follow the whole proposal 

routine.” 

Theresa thought, ‘What a fool!” 

Theresa’s soft laugh echoed, as the sunshine chased away the shadows in her heart. 

She thought she might have won the bet after all.
