Chapter 3
Theo frowned, and his handsome face showed signs of displeasure. "Who are you to try to control
me?"
His voice was thirty percent sarcastic and seventy percent disdainful.
I knew very well that it was impossible to make him stay, but sometimes I just had to try. I looked into
his eyes and said softly, “I will agree to the divorce. The condition is that you stay tonight and
accompany me to Grandmother's funeral tomorrow afternoon. I will sign the papers after the funeral.”
He narrowed his eyes and grabbed my chin. His deep eyes were filled with disdain and mockery as he
slowly said, “Do you even know how to make a man stay?”
His voice was low and husky with a hint of seduction.
I understood what he meant, but I did not know much about making love.
After a long time, I unbuckled my belt. Theo pushed me away and said in disgust, “You are disgusting!”
With that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Haha, is there anything more humiliating than this? I did not care about shame and had put aside my
dignity. I only wanted to keep my husband. In the end, all I got in return was the words: "You are
disgusting!"
I sat there until dawn. I wanted to return to the old mansion, but my assistant called to say that Theo
had gone to the office to perform an inspection.
I had no choice but to rush to the office.
The weather forecast predicted there would be a heavy rainstorm today. I thought that it would be
unsafe to drive and decided to go by taxi. After waiting for a long time, there was still no taxi in sight. I
gritted my teeth and ended up driving to the office despite the risk.
Just as I reached the entrance, my assistant, Heidi, ran out anxiously. "Cindy wants to act in ‘The
Biography of Empress Anna’".
“What is wrong with her this time?” I asked, feeling a little fretful. I knew very well that she was looking
for trouble again.
"Who knows! Chairman is angry that you have already signed Sherry on as the female lead," Heidi said
cautiously.
“I got it. You can go back to work now!” I walked up to my office, tidied my hair, and held in the anxiety NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
in my heart before pushing the door open.
Theo was sitting on the sofa in the room with a gloomy expression. His body emitted a cold icy aura.
His aura filled the room to the point it felt like the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees.
Before Wanda could say anything, the office door opened, and Cindy walked in.
Cindy had always looked beautiful and dignified. However, she looked like a drowned rat now. Water
from her hair was still dripping down her face
Despite it all, she still looked beautiful. Her wet clothes outlined her perfect figure, and her beautiful
face looked even more delicate because of the raindrops.
Theo jumped up and wrapped her in his arms. He asked dotingly, "Where did you go? What
happened?"
Wiping the water off her face, Cindy picked up the bag in her hand and said in a bright voice, "Theo, I
heard you have not had your breakfast yet, so I went to buy your favorite burger."
"Silly girl, it is raining so heavily outside. It does not matter if I have eaten my breakfast or not.” Theo
pulled Cindy into his embrace with an expression of guilt and heartache.
He quickly took off his jacket and draped it over her. She hugged him tightly and whispered in his arms,
"But I care about you!"
After seeing the whole scene unfold, I suddenly understood why I was no match to Cindy although I
was married to Theo for three years.
There were crowds of whispering and gossiping employees outside my office door. When they saw the
two of them hugging each other, they looked at me sympathetically.
I got up and gently closed my office door, shutting out the whisperings.
Theo carried Cindy and walked further into the room. There was a small bedroom and a bathroom
there. When I was busy with work, I would usually spend the night there.
I took a few steps forward and stood at the door, blocking their way. I lowered my head and whispered,
“There is a change of clothes ready in the reception room outside.”
This was my territory. Whether it was the villa or the old mansion, Cindy had begun piling her things, be
it intentionally or unintentionally. I did not want my territory to have any traces of her.
"Get out of the way!" Theo said. His voice was cold and sinister, and his dark eyes looked at me in
disgust.
