Everyone had two sides to themselves. One was the positive side, the side that was immersed in social morality for many years; another was the negative side, the side of irresistible human weakness.
When it was impossible to resist human weakness, humans would start to think from their own points of view and feel that they were completely right while others were completely wrong.
In my eyes, both Petra and Cindy were the type of people who could not resist human weakness.
Looking at the sullen expression on both Petra and Grayson’s faces, I did not want to speak further and got up to leave.
After paying the bills, I walked out of the restaurant and saw Theo’s car. A smile emerged on my face.
The car window rolled down, and Theo waved at me from inside the car.
Keith got out of the car and walked up to me. "I'll drive your car back, Mrs. Grant.”
I nodded. "Thanks."
After getting into Theo's car, I tilted my head and leaned on his chest.
He put his arm around me and looked down at me, asking me in a gentle voice, “What's wrong?"
I shook my head with a smile. "Nothing. I just suddenly feel tired from being the bigger person. It’s easier to be the bad guy."
Theo smiled slightly with a hint of helplessness in his voice as he asked, "What did you encounter?"
I looked up at him. "If you fall in love with someone else in the future, Theo, you must tell me in advance s o I can leave with dignity."
The man frowned and cupped my face with both hands. He stared at me with deep and dark eyes." Wanda Lane, I'll not fall in love with anyone else but you."
I merely laughed and said no more.
There was still a long way left to go in life. Time was best at changing a person’s heart.
It was already a huge blessing for me that Theo and I were able to love and walk with each other on this long journey called life. Even if he fell in love with someone else in the future, I would most likely be able to let him go, right?
