The moment he said that, it was as if my heart had fallen rock bottom. It was accompanied by a trace of despair.
I paused for a moment before looking at him. "Do you really... think that?"
My voice was shaking slightly, and so was my heart. It teetered.
Theo, who had been wearing an angry expression before, calmed himself down slightly. He looked at me quietly and for a long time. He said nothing.
Nicky, who was standing to the side, did not seem like she could just stand by and watch. She stepped forward slightly to persuade me. "Wanda, calm down. We..." "Shut up!" I stared at her, filled with anger.
"Wanda!"
She grabbed my hand and tried to take me away from here, but I did not want to leave like this. Hence, I pushed her away, and that threw her into Theo's arms.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
It turned out that his tenderness was not solely reserved for me.
Pulling my lips into a sneer, I said, "It looks like I'm disturbing you. I'll leave, then."
After saying this, I turned to leave.
I thought he would stop me, but no, it was Nicky who came forward to stop me.
"Wanda, don't be rash. This is your home."
My home?
I turned to her, and the flames in my eyes made me look a little distant. "Yes, this is my home, so what are you doing here?!"
Hearing this, Nicky was stunned for a moment. She did not seem to have expected me to say this. She lowered her head, looking sad.
"Let her go. She was obviously the one who asked you to stay yet now she’s throwing a tantrum.”
Theo's words dispelled my last hope.
In his eyes, I was just throwing a tantrum.
I looked at Theo, then at Nicky. I left the villa without looking back.
Walking on the road, I look ahead. The road was long, but where could I go?
