What I said hurt his feelings. His pupils shook, and his aura reduced in intensity. He seemed to be at a loss all of a sudden. Then, he leaned into me and spoke in a deep voice. "So, in your heart, I'm a wretch and a coldblooded murderer?"
I remained silent, which was an indirect admission.
He took a step back, looking disappointed. He spoke faintly, "Wanda, when you said you love me, I didn't expect it to mean this."
I replied calmly, "I've already said that I'll take my love back and not bother you anymore."
"Great! You've got some galls!" After he spoke, he did not look at me anymore. He slammed the door hard and left.
If it were before, I would be worried and frightened every time he left in anger. However, I was surprisingly calm now. I slowly stood up and started t o pack my luggage again.
Miss Woods brought the chicken soup upstairs. When she saw me leaving, she panicked and pulled my hand, refusing to let me go. "Madam, you're pregnant. It's dangerous for you to be outside. Don't be mad at the young master. He's just fierce on the outside, but h
e really cares about you. When you were in the hospital, he would secretly visit you every night and stay till the morning. He even restructured the garden especially for you. He said you would be able to take a walk in the garden after you came back."
I froze for a moment, but I was immediately relieved. H e only cared about the baby. I said, "Miss Woods, I'm just staying at my friend's place for a while.
Everything will be fine."
"No, that won't do. You’re having a baby now, so you need to take responsibility for him. Otherwise, you'll regret it in the future.” Miss Woods was still pulling on me, refusing to let go. No matter what I said, she was not going to let me leave.
I had no choice but to compromise. I did not leave, but I moved to the third floor.
After that, Theo never showed up again. Miss Woods told me that he seemed to have gone abroad. I did not bother that much about it either. As long as the hearts were not together, then there would be no crossing paths.
I still went to work every day.
