“If I hadn’t been keeping an eye on her, no one would have noticed that apart from showing off the child in her stomach in front of you, Delia had never received any care or love from Theo.
“There is no comparing to you.”
Having silently observed everything, these actions increased Shannon’s favorability toward Theo.
There was not a hint of change to the expression on my face. I just told Shannon to work hard. Afraid of making me unhappy, she also stopped talking.
After going through so much, how could I let go of everything so easily after just a few words? I really did not have the courage or determination to accept sharing my love with others.
“Shannon, you know I'm willing to tell you anything. If something like this were to happen to you one day, will you still choose to persevere?
“I just don't understand it no matter how I think about it. But it really has happened to me. Tell me what I should do.”
Seeing that I was literally in tears and all weak, it was obvious that this was a manifestation of the numbness caused by the intense pain in my heart. Shannon was extremely distressed. She stepped forward and hugged me, saying, “Wanda, you’re good. Theo’s the one who disappointed you.
"If it were any other man, I would think differently. But Theo's love for you isn’t fake.”
Shannon has been by my side for a long time.
I had experienced so many things with her, but it was only the matters of love would the person who experienced it know best.
I was not disappointed with Theo anymore. Perhaps he just made a mistake that every other man would make while I was the one who had not been redeemed from his love.
