The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 161

The corner of Theo’s lips curled slightly upwards as h e stood up and walked over. As he reached out to pull me into his arms, he said, "So don't make a fuss in the future, or you'll be the one who ends up exhausted again."

I rolled my eyes at him. He stroked my hair as he said i n a deep voice, "I was in the wrong for touching the box without your consent, but I was just curious about what my grandmother left for you."

He paused slightly before continuing. "After opening i t, I realized that the items inside were items my grandmother had hoped to use to keep our marriage together. We don’t need any material items to keep our marriage together, and I didn't want you to think that I hadn't pushed for the divorce because of the box. That's why I threw it away. Can you promise me you’ll never bring this up again and that we can live a normal and peaceful life?"

It was the first time Theo had ever been so patient, and perhaps even a little humble, when speaking to m e about such things.

I had to admit that I was slightly moved.

However, the fact that I did not feel secure in this marriage remained. Moreover, I was finding it more

and more difficult to get over his affair with Cindy. I knew in my heart that he would never be able to completely forget her.

Could we really live a normal and peaceful life in the future like he wanted?

I did not have a clue, but I could not resist the temptation to give it a try either. After all, I was the one who had developed feelings for him first in this relationship. I was lucky to have been able to marry the person I loved.

It was even more of a gift to get to stay together with him.

As I looked up into his serious eyes, I nodded my head mechanically.

He smiled and held me even tighter. "Don't ever bring up matters like divorce out of the blue like that again. It's really hurtful."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I nodded. I knew it was indeed my fault for bringing it up all the time.

"It’s getting late. You shouldn't stay up for so long. Go take a shower and go to bed,” he said as he urged me forward.

I stood up and dragged my exhausted body into the bathroom. I did not have a single shred of strength left in my body.
