I knew he was being stubborn.
I gently sighed. "I don’t feel sorry for anyone. I just think it’s not worth it for you to harm your interest for someone who doesn't deserve it."
"You don’t get to say if it’s worth it or not," he said, his voice sounding a tad more ruthless. "Everyone wants something, and if I give up without doing anything, then that's being a coward."
He would not listen to anything I said, so I gave up trying to convince him.
Seeing that it was not raining or snowing as heavily a s before, I dashed forward.
He followed me anyway. "I'll walk you."
"You really don't need to!" I forcefully refused.
However, the man was too stubborn and refused to stop.
He grabbed my hand and forcefully stuffed the umbrella into my hand. "At least take the umbrella.”
I stopped and looked sideways at him. My expression was already sullen. "If our photos are taken by the media and posted online, Theo will use even more ruthless means against you. Do you know what you'll
face when that happens?"
He sneered. "When there’s a battle in the business field, only one will survive. I can't beat him, and I'm willing to admit defeat." After a pause, he continued," But I will never admit defeat when it comes to you."
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said patiently, "Matthew, you have the right to pursue what you want and I have no right to beg you to give up, but I have the right to pursue what I want too. You have no right to stop me."
He looked at me with cold eyes. "What do you want?"
"Theo and my happiness," I said those words without a single hesitation.
There was a strong gust of wind, and the umbrella was blown away.
