After finishing what she had to say, Lucy stood up to leave. She had no intention of wasting any more time with this rude and strange man.
She should have listened to Cillian and been more cautious. She vowed to never roam around aimlessly again.
Seeing as Lucy was so upset she was going to leave, Theodore grew desperate.
He had every reason to believe that if he missed this opportunity today, finding this lady, who could potentially be his sister, again would be as difficult as reaching for the stars.
Driven by urgency, Theodore stood up and grabbed Lucy’s hand.
Lucy reacted strongly, glaring at Theodore and then at his hand gripping her arm.
He immediately released her hand as if he were shocked by electricity.
“I’m sorry, I… I was…” he stuttered.
Damn it. What had gotten into him? Even if he was desperate, how could he act so rudely?
Unable to find the right words to explain himself, Theodore was interrupted by Lucy, who was growing impatient.
“That’s enough, sir. I think I’ve made myself quite clear. The world is full of wonders, so it’s not uncommon for two strangers to look like each other.
“I have a father and a mother. I’m definitely not your long-lost sister, so please show some respect.
“Even if there’s a one-in-a-million chance that I could be your sister, your behavior is making me hate you!”
Although her parents were not nice to her, how could she not know if she was the Quinns' daughter or not?
To shake off Theodore, she decided to stand firm.
Meanwhile, her words struck him like lightning. Hate him? Since when did he become someone his sister would hate?
The moment he saw Lucy, all he felt was deep affection for her.
