Chapter 29
The car was quiet once again. I starter the car and drove back to the villa.
On the way back, I rolled down the ca windows and let the wind blow agains my flushed face. After some time, I finally felt better. However, Theo’s words, “You owe me a child.” kept replaying in my mind It seemed like he had really gotten hims unk for the past few days because of our child. He must have genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not protecting the child well.
When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions.
But what could I do?
Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never letg o of for his entire lifetime. If I insisted o n keeping the child, Cindy would threaten me with her life again. He would be the only one suffering then.
I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I did not dare to imagine what would happen.
Hence I had made the best choice for all of us. I would bring the child away, and he could continue looking after Cindy. This would be the best outcome for everyone.
My thoughts were all over the place as I continued driving. Soon, we reached the villa,
I looked at Theo’s face as he slept. I opened the door of the passenger seat and shook his arm. Theo Grant!” I called out softly.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He then turned around to look a t me. “Did you take me home?” He asked in an even tone.
I nodded. It seemed like the alcohol was wearing off.
“Let’s go in. It is late.” After going through an eventful night, I felt rather tired.
He did not say anything. He simply leaned against the seat motionlessly. He seemed to be deep in thought. “Do you need my help?” I asked. He was slowly getting sober. Perhaps he did not have the energy to get down from the car.
“I will sleep here for a little while longer.” After that, he closed his eyes once again.
My outstretched arm was left there for
a moment. After a while, I retracted my arm and said, “Sleep all you want then!” After that, I turned around and returned to the villa.
I returned to my bedroom and took a bath. Afterward, I laid down on the bed. Lightning flashed outside the window, indicating that it was about to rain again. I got worried. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to get up and go downstairs.
