Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 117

A trace of bitterness flashed across Tyler's face, but it faded quickly. He resumed smiling and said faintly," It's not important whether you believe me. What’s important is that I can't leave you. Wanda, let’s go back to the old life we had, alright?"

He spoke of it very casually, but I had goosebumps listening to him. The past was a nightmare to me. If I had to go back to that life, I would rather choose death.

"Does it mean that things between us will only end if I die?" The healing wound deep in my heart started to hurt again.

His gaze flickered and radiated with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared as he held my hand. He smiled and said faintly, "You won’t die if you have me with you. I won't leave you, so you must live well."

I went silent. The despair in my heart began to spread boundlessly.

"Leave Theo. He's not worthy of you. I'll bring you back to our old house and we can go back to our old lives. We’ll be happy," he said softly.

I laughed silently. Everyone was saying that I was not worthy of Theo but he was the only one who would say Theo was not worthy of me.

"Let's not go back, Tyler. Ever since Mom died, we can't go back to the past. Consider the fact that we grew up together and lived together for so many years and please let me go," I pleaded in a low voice. Although I knew it was useless, I still begged him.

He lay down on the lawn with both his hands supporting his head as his dark eyes became a little gloomy. After a long while, he spoke faintly, "I want that too, but I can't do it."

I laughed bitterly. Tyler and I were like a knot that could never be undone, not even for a little while. However, life had to go on. We would take it step by step!

I stood up and said, "I can’t walk any farther. Send me back."

I started to accept it. He was now treating me as prey t o spend his pastime. He would not do anything to me for now. At least I would be temporarily safe.

Tyler drove me to the front of the villa. Coincidentally, Theo's car also just came back.

Seeing our car, he sat in the car and did not step down. He just silently looked in our direction.

Even though there was some distance between us, I could feel the coldness in his stare.
