Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 843

"What are you doing here?" he asked worriedly.

I pursed my lips. "I want her to give up."

Theo gently sighed. There was only coldness in his eyes when he looked at Cindy. "Pick one. Go to prison o r leave Whaldorf City."

Cindy slumped to the ground, her body shaking violently. "Theowy, I don't want to go to prison or leave Whaldorf City."

"You must choose one.” Theo's voice was so cold it was as if it was covered in ice.

"You can't do this to me, Theowy!" Cindy broke down completely. "You promised my parents to be good to m e and to take care of me."

Theo's ruthlessness could send shivers down one’s spine. He used an almost heartless tone to say, “Cindy Reed, you disgust me every time you bring up your parents. Their biggest failure in life was to have a daughter like you."

His words rained down on her like a cold bucket of water. It nearly killed Cindy.

She looked incredulously at Theo, tears streaming down her face.

Theo tightened his arm around my shoulder and said once more, "You intended to harm my wife today and I'll not let this slip. According to the law, you'll serve at least three years but because your parents saved my life back then, you can choose to leave Whaldorf City with the money I give you. You'll never appear in front of me and my wife again.”

Once this man was completely angered, he would take radical actions and not give a hint of leeway.

Cindy had broken down completely. She could not say anything and just cried.

When the cops arrived, Cindy was taken away.

It was up for her to choose now, whether she would go to prison or take the money that Theo gave her and leave Whaldorf City forever.

On the journey back, I was constantly looking out the car window in a daze.

Theo came at just the right time. I had suspicions that he had heard the things I said to Cindy.

I wanted to say those things to Cindy a long time ago. I f I could, I would even say it to her face in front of a crowd so she would give up completely.

The car came to a stop. I looked around me and turned to look at Theo. "Why are we stopping here?"

Theo unbuckled his seat belt and said indifferently," Wait in the car for me."

Soon, he came back with a dessert box in his hand.

I did not open it and was lost in thoughts as I looked a t this delicate box.

I felt a gush of warmth on my palm and came back to my senses. I saw that the man was holding my hand.

He said, "If you have anything to say, then say it."

I looked up at him and spoke in a husky voice, "She didn’t break in or anything. I took her inside."

He nodded. "I know."

I gently sighed. "You just wanted her to leave Whaldorf City, but why did you get the cops to take her away?"

Theo's gaze turned somewhat complicated. "Wanda, would you have gotten hurt if I hadn’t arrived in time?”

I pursed my lips and said no more.

I probably would have. Cindy had lost her mind at the time and all she wanted to do was kill me. In that situation, I might either get away lightly injured or worse, killed.

Theo kissed the back of my hand, his voice trembling a little. "That’s why I must make her suffer a little. If her parents hadn't saved my life, I really want to..."

He was probably going to say that he wanted to kill her. I embraced him and gently patted his back.

Theo rested his forehead on my shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "We still have decades more to go. I want to grow old with you. I can’t bear losing you. I was able to arrive in time this time, but what if I don't the next time she tries to hurt you again? Therefore, I can only feel at ease when the hidden danger is eradicated once and for all."
