Chapter 64
Theo hugged me very tightly, so tight I could hardly breathe. I had never seen him like this-fragile and
perhaps a little bit clingy.
He buried his head into the crook of my neck and murmured, “Let’s just be happy from today onwards.
Let’s not fight anymore.”
The warmth of his breath stroked my cars, as well as that low, velvety voice of his
Theo pulled me in closer and said, “Don’t move, let me hug you for a little while longer.” His voice was
resounding and left no room for me to deny him what he wanted.
All I could do was sit in his arms and Listen to his murmuring,
It was a rare atmosphere, one that held both harmony and tenderness.
I was not used to this. A dull fire ruse from the bottom of my heart as I wiggled
He chuckled softly. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
I was speechless. My body was stiff, and I did not know what to do. To be honest, I had mixed feelings
about how he was acting right now a little conflicted, a little awful.
This was the first time Theo and I had been relatively close since that incident with Cindy, and I realized
that my body was rejecting him now. There was an odd sense of discomfort within me.
I did not react to those feelings as my mind was occupied. I was still thinking about how I could ask him
for help. He was the only hope I had left for saving Cecilia
All men were the same.
I jolted to my senses, my whole body suddenly tensing up. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
He lifted his head and looked at me, an emotion I could not read in his eyes, but h e did not say
anything. He released me and walked out the door, leaving me
and lonely
After a moment of hesitation, I chased after him
I followed him to his room, where he was standing frostily on his balcony with a glass of red wine in his
hands. I took the initiative to walk forward and hug his waist from behind. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do
what I did.”
He stood there, unimoving, his body stiff and his face gloomy and cold. After a long pause, he asked in
a low voice, “How did things get to this point?”
I shook my head, silent.
I would never tell him about the recording
After another long pause, he sighed.” Alright, go sleep now. It’s getting late.” It was obvious he was
feeling pretty down
I laid on the bed but could not get to sleep. I tossed and turned the entire time
Theo laid beside me, his breathing a little erratic but his body still.
He seemed to be taken aback for a moment before turning around and wrapping his arms around me.
An action-filled night ensued in the bedroom
After a long while, the action ceased, and a calmness took over the roof
He was finally looking a little happier, and as he hugged me to sleep, he seemed satisfied.
I was still thinking of how to ask him for help. Tonight was really not the best time to do so, but Cecilia
was still in the police station. If I did not act soon, it would be harder to change things once they were
set in stone
“Theo, I have a favor to ask.” After much hesitation, I finally said it.
