"That’s because you interfered in our relationship and he was bewitched by you for a moment." She flew into a rage out of embarrassment and started making up stories.
I smiled a little helplessly. "Think carefully, Cindy. In those days when he took care of you, did he ever plan your future for you? Did he teach you anything? When parents love their children, their plans for them are far -reaching, and it's the same with romantic relationships. He would've certainly made future considerations for you, constantly help you learn various things, and honestly, he would do the same even for his sister. Therefore, he has neither treated you as a woman nor a sister since the very beginning."
After a pause, I continued, "His duty and obligation for you are simply to keep you clothed and fed, to live life like an ordinary woman should. Nothing else."
"Nonsense!" Cindy shouted angrily.
She would have struck me if it were not for the fact that I was driving.
I glanced indifferently at her. "I remember you once had a child, right? Why would you think Theo would accept someone he doesn't even love? Someone who has carried someone else's child? You said that I'm
not worthy of Theo, but what makes you worthy?” "Wanda Lane!" Cindy grew even more emotional now. "I was carrying Theowy's child. Stop slandering me!" From the pain on her face, anyone could tell that she was in self-denial.
When Cindy was pregnant, I once asked Theo if the child was his, to which he replied that he had never touched Cindy. However, he did not tell me whose child she was carrying. It was not that he did not know but he was covering up for her.
One could imagine the unpleasant state in which the child had come to be.
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa and I unbuckled my seat belt. I turned to look at Cindy, who was covering her face and whose body was trembling slightly. "Want to come in with me?"
