He sighed, then wore a smile on his face. However, the smile seemed somewhat bitter. "I was too selfish."
"What was Tyler’s role in all of this?" I asked another question that had been bothering me back then.
After learning the truth, I recalled the strange things Tyler had said to me before. He probably knew everything from the beginning. If so, why did he not stop Theo from doing so?
Why was he not willing to let Petra and Grayson reunite with me?
Theo let go of me, his gaze darkening. "The Louises are too complicated. Moreover, Grayson has offended many people over the years. Those guys wanted the Louises to disappear from Whaldorf City. If you became Grayson's daughter and he got in trouble, can you imagine what would have happened to you?"
Therefore, Tyler later used Matthew and referred me t o Carlson to be his daughter, just so I could receive protection from the Schumans and Theo in case I reunited with the Louises and Grayson got into trouble?
They seemed to have been thinking of ways to protect me all this while, but I still ended up losing my child
and Cecilia. Was it all fated, then?
I sighed and looked out the window at the blue sky. M y heart was in a lot of pain.
Three years was enough to heal broken wounds, but what was done could not be undone.
I did not know the answer.
"Wanda..." He hugged me again. "Can you come back t o Whaldorf City with me? Ever since you left, I've been preparing for the wedding and waiting for you to come back one day so we can hold a grand wedding. I’ll let everyone know that you're my wife, now and forever."
His voice was low and lingering. I cast my eyes down." Lessons in the kindergarten will be over soon. I'm going to pick Munchkin up."
I could not give him an answer, at least not yet.
