Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 274

Theodore, too, saw the returning car. He froze and stood there in a daze. After the driver parked the car, Charlie got out and went up to Theodore, suddenly lifting his hand as an urge to hit the latter surged within him. After taking only a step, however, he sneered disdainfully and turned to leave, thinking, 'He's nothing more than a thing of the past. It'd be a waste of energy to bother myself with him.'

Theodore had been all tensed up, mentally preparing himself for the possibility that Charlie might hit him, yet unexpectedly, the latter left. Staring at the empty spot in front of him, Theodore felt a void in his heart, thinking, 'So, not only does Rebecca not care about me anymore, but the whole Carter family, too? They can't even be bothered to vent their anger on me.'

While plagued by that heartbreaking thought, Theodore spotted Charlie entering the house and hastily chased after him. "Charlie!"

Charlie paused and turned around to see Theodore looking his way. The latter parted his lips but took some time to speak up, "Rebecca... I mean Stacey... Is she really in love with Hayden?"

Initially, Charlie was displeased. He had told himself not to waste time and energy on Theodore, but given how Theodore kept chasing after him, he thought he should teach the latter a lesson to stop him from pestering Becky. What he didn't imagine, though, was how Theodore followed after him just to ask that question. He suddenly broke into a euphoric laugh. "Yeah, Becky's in love with Hayden, and he loves her just as much. They're doing great and will be very happy for the rest of their lives." As he spoke, he glanced at Theodore with pity. "Theodore, stay away from Becky if you still have some self respect. She'll never love you again."

Theodore stared at Charlie, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing. Seeing Theodore like this, Charlie shook his head slightly and then turned around to continue his way toward the mansion.

"Can I see Lillian and Kevin?" Theodore suddenly shouted. It was obvious he was on tenterhooks.

Charlie stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Theodore coldly. "You'd better not get any ideas about the kids, or don't blame us for being nasty."

Hearing that, Theodore felt his heart aching. But at the thought that Lillian and Kevin were the children Rebecca gave birth to for him and were his blood, he couldn't help feeling happy and grateful. "I won't disturb her. I only want to see the kids," said Theodore urgently.

Charlie was about to lose his temper when another car drove in from outside. As the car door swung open, Adrian, Patrick, and Bryce cast their gazes toward Theodore in tandem, leaving the latter so nervous he felt his heart tighten. After some silence, Patrick uttered while looking at Theodore, "Let's talk inside."

"Dad!" Charlie looked at Patrick in disbelief, but the latter couldn't care less about him.

Theodore was also stunned, but that emotion was quickly replaced by joy. He supposed he still stood a chance, thinking, 'Maybe... I can still see the kids... Even if Rebecca has remarried someone else, the kids are still mine. I should still be able to visit them.'
