Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 831

I froze. Before I could understand what he meant by that, he suddenly pulled me into his arms. I was enveloped by an unfamiliar air that left me flustered.

I lifted my arms to push him away only to be held tighter by him. "No one said I have to back down. I love you all the same and can offer you double of what Theo has to offer."

After a pause, he continued with an even colder and harsh voice, "I'll not go at this point, Wanda."

"Matthew." I could not struggle out of his embrace and felt a little furious. "Must you push all of us to the brink?"

He sneered. "I don't want to end up being the only one who's miserable and the only one with unreciprocated love. I don't want to be searching for you in my dreams for the rest of my life."

He had lost his mind!

I did not want to struggle anymore and said in a cold voice, "You have the right to pursue what you want, but don't forget that I'm human too. I’m not an object without feelings. I have the right to choose who I love and the life I want. I'll not choose you." "Why won't you choose me?" Matthew grew a little emotional. "What's so good about Theo? He’s cruel, ruthless, selfish, and hypocritical... Can't you see these things?"

I did not know what Matthew had experienced during this period of time, but he was now like a person living in hell, desperately fighting to drag me into hell together with him.

I feared him and felt sorry for him.

After all, his current paranoia had something to do with me.

I gently sighed and advised him patiently. "Matthew, I picked Theo not because he's really good or because you don't deserve to be loved, but it’s because it's destined. I was once in pain because I was in love with him and thought about giving up on loving him, but I just couldn’t do it. We've been entangled for many years and have long merged into one. He needs me and I need him. We're the most compatible in this world."

He scoffed at my words. "I don't believe in destiny. I only believe that my fate is in my own hands. I want you to remember that as long as I live, I'll not let go of you."

His dark pupils were cold and stern, while his lips were curled upward.

I felt slightly uneasy and was just about to say something when he kissed my lips.
