I glanced at him, then at Cindy. "Come in and talk."
The two female servants standing in front of her stepped aside. Cindy looked at me with a sullen expression. "You don’t have to fake good intentions."
I nearly burst out laughing.
Had it not been because I was worried that her madness would disturb Munchkin who was sleeping upstairs, I would have asked the security guards to drive her out straight away.
"Please help me, Theowy.” Cindy grabbed Theo’s arms. "If you don't help me, then death is my only way out."
No matter how much Theo hated Cindy's guts at the moment, he was not going to just send her to her doom. He said indifferently, "How do you want me to help you?"
"I want to meet my mother." Cindy's tears rolled down.
I opened my mouth in shock. A child was actually begging someone else to see her mother? What was going on?
Theo pulled out his arm from hers. "I can help you but you must stop coming to me in the future."
Cindy's countenance abruptly paled. I could tell that
she was very reluctant but she could only agree now.
The moment she agreed, there was a look of pain in her eyes.
"Go home." Theo turned to look at me. "My wife and I haven't finished our meal yet. We won't be entertaining you."
After being chased out so directly, Cindy's body quivered but she still said, "Okay."
She turned around and walked out of the villa, her steps flustered.
When she was no longer in view, I pursed my lips and looked at Theo. "Are you this merciless to every woman?"
"Not to you," he replied, his gaze as deep as the ocean.
