Chapter 45
The door slammed behind me, and I shrank back in fear, losing all my earlier boldness.
He threw me onto the sofa with all his might. I instinctively held my belly and looked at his bloodshol eyes in horror. W – what are you trying to do?”
Oh, now you are afraid. Were you not fearless earlier?” He sneered and held my chin with one hand. He said coldly, “Am I a cheater? Am I fickle? Am I unable to distinguish right from wrong? Am I disgusting?”
The more he said, the angrier he got. He tightened his grip and his pupils constricted. “I did not expect to have such an image in your heart.”
I had said some words out of anger earlier, but now that he held me tightly like this, my temper flared up again. I lifted my leg and kicked him,
“Ah!” He pointed his trembling hands at me. “You...”
This kick was not light, and I felt a little guilty. However, I still said defiantly.” Theo, are you still a man? You always use this method to deal with me. If you want t. o kill me, just do it. You do not have to tortline me like this.”
At first, I was just trying to scare him. However, the more I spoke, the sadder I became. I started to sob. “You know that I love you. Even if you do not love me, you should not bully me like this. What kind o fman bullies a woman...”
By the end of muy sentence, I broke down completely and burst into tears.
I could not stop now...
He came over and took me in his arms, whispering soothing words, but the more he spoke, the louder I cried.
Perhaps it was my crying that irritated him. He frowned and then leaned down to cover my mouth with his.
I froze instantly, staring at him with wide
He smiled and looked up. His voice was low and hoarse, “Not crying anymore, are
I did not say anything and continued to sob. His lips tell to kiss me again
“Theo, you cannot do this to me!” I panicked and quickly turned my head
He cupped my head with his hands, forcing me to look him in the eye. “Why not? Just because you threw me away like a cheater?
I burst out laughing This man was vengeful.
After venting, I seemed to feel better.
You‘re crying and laughing at the same time. Are you a puppy?” He pinched my nose and looked at me with a doting gaze. “Why did you feel wronged first? Did you not think that your words were very hurtful to me as well? And that kick just now, did you want the Grant family lineage to end?
For Miss Reed‘s sake, is it normal for you to hurt me?” My anger still stemmed from his words. ‘Not qualified”.
He did not say anything and just held me tight.
After a long while, he said, “Mason, Zedd, and I grew up together. We met Cindy in junior high school. At that time, because I did not have parents, I yearned for the feeling of home, so I often went to their house to play. Cindy‘s parents were very passionate and would always prepare delicious food for me. They treated me like their own son.”
He suddenly paused and did not say anything. There was a hint of loneliness o n his face and his eyes were a little dark a 5 if he was recalling painful memories.
I did not bother him. I just looked up at him, waiting quietly for him to continue.
When I graduated from my third year of junior high school, Grandmother did not have time to accompany me. Zedd and Mason left the country, so I followed Cindy and her family to her mother‘s hometowi, a remote little mountain village. I had lived in the city since I was young. The first time I went to a village, I was so happy that I followed Cindy
Werywhere and played around crazily in the village. Then, one day...”
He paused again, this time his body trembling. I had a vague idea that something must have happened. I reached for his hand.
He slowly calmed down and continued,” We came to a dilapidated house in the village that was about to collapse. Cindy was afraid and did not dare to enter. Out o fcuriosity, I ignored her advice and walked in. However, just as I pushed open the door and stepped in, the beam of the house suddenly fell and pressed against m y legs.”
He closed his eyes, as if afraid. It seemed that what had happened had left a deep impression on him.
After a long time, he said slowly, “His parents heard the news and rushed over. Ignoring the danger of the room collapsing, they rushed in to save me Soon, they managed to move the beam that fell on my leg away and pushed me out of the room. But...
