He was so skilled that one would wonder if he was a doctor.
I looked at him with mixed feelings.
We had known each other for years. His appearance was the same, charming with defined facial features. He was still as charming as ever, yet his temperament had changed drastically.
A few years ago, Theo was young and frivolous, but now, he was mature and reliable. He was extremely fascinating regardless of which.
At this moment, I truly felt that I was not good enough for him.
I was too lost in thought that when Theo raised his head to look at me, it was too late to avoid his gaze.
When I met his deep and dark eyes, my heart skipped a beat and my face became uncontrollably hot.
I cleared my throat to mask my awkwardness. "Thanks for your help earlier. I won't hold you accountable for trespassing. You can go home now."
Theo sneered. "Why didn’t I realize before that you have a habit of getting rid of somebody once they cease to be useful?"
He pinched my chin after saying that, his face coming closer and closer. When our breaths intermingled with one another, my heart started beating uncontrollably fast.
Flustered, I retreated. "I'm not getting rid of you. You trespassing and you helping me are two completely different things."
I continued after a pause, "We have no more feelings for each other. When things are done here, let’s go back to Salt City to get a divorce."
I lay on the bed after saying that and turned my back to him.
The man did not say anything for a long time. There was no movement behind me either. I could not suppress my curiosity and turned around to look.
I saw him staring at me with eyes as dark a s the starry sky at night. My heart started beating abnormally again.
