Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 731

He desperately wanted to bulldoze every obstacle in her path, but he knew she'd never accept that kind of interference.

Emilia pinched his cheek for a moment longer before making him hold up her phone to snap a picture of them.

Theodore happily played along.

It felt incredibly nice. Looking at the photo, Emilia had sneakily moved behind him, pinching his cheek and making a funny face at the camera. Her eyes sparkled with bright laughter. It filled Theodore with a profound sense of happiness.

After having her fun, Emilia took her phone back, a brilliant smile spreading across her face as she looked at the screen.

"I'm going to treasure this photo," Emilia said, slipping the phone into her pocket. "When we're old, I'm going to show it to Bella."

Theodore smiled and nodded in agreement.

Her playful demeanor fading into something more serious, Emilia looked him in the eye.

"I can handle everything right now," she said firmly.

She knew some people might see her independence as keeping him at arm's length, but she trusted Theodore to understand her.

The Dennis Corporation was the cornerstone of her family's revival. She needed it to grow and thrive under her own leadership.

She loved Theodore, and she knew he was more than willing to hand her the world on a silver platter. But she needed to hold that world in her own hands.

After her disastrous marriage to Tyler Erickson and the constant blackmail she had endured, she refused to make the same mistakes again.

It wasn't a lack of trust; it was because she cherished what they had that she was being so careful.

Theodore's gaze softened with profound tenderness. "I know," he murmured.

Emilia smiled, a wave of relief washing over her.

She felt incredibly lucky to have found him. He understood her, supported her, and above all, respected her.

If it had been anyone else, the endless baggage Tyler brought—the relentless harassment and the limitless drama—would have sent them running for the hills.
