Chapter 1078

I had a bit of a headache and asked while looking at him, "Do you need that much for emotional

damages?”

I knew that his clothes were all custom-made and each one of them was frighteningly expensive. He

was surely not going to wear them anymore after I threw u p on them, so I had no excuse not to pay

for them. However, asking me to pay half a million dollars for emotional damages was too much. I

refused to accept it.

Theo smiled slightly. "Do you know how much I could've earned if you hadn't delayed so much of

my time?”

After a long silence, I said, "I didn't ask you t o come."

"What did you say?" Theo's countenance was suddenly terrifyingly grim.

I pursed my lips. "I said I wasn't the one who told you to come."

I was in the wrong, after all, so I did not sound very confident saying that. My voice also gradually

softened toward the end.

I felt very troubled. I received only a few thousand dollars in salary a month. Where was I going to

get 700,00 dollars to pay him?

Theo sneered. "Are you saying that I shouldn't have saved your number and picked up your call?"

I lowered my eyes and mumbled, "1 didn’t ask you to pick up."

I had sudden flashbacks of him picking Elena up and walking away this afternoon. I felt a lump in

my throat as I suddenly said, "I'm surprised you actually ignored the stunning lady beside you and

answered my call. You even came to see m e.’

"Wanda Lane!"

Theo got cranky. "You sure know how to make me angry. Looks like your head is full of shit.”

Maybe it was the effects of the alcohol that I grew a little emotional. I was no longer as rational as I

normally was. I looked aggrievedly at him and said, "Yes, my head is full of shit, while Elena's head

must be full of gold. She’s better than me in all aspects and matches you more than me. Since you

like her so much, why do you still care about me, then?"

I had more or less made something out of nothing from my words but did not realize i 1.1 just felt

tremendously wronged and upset.

Everyone was blaming me for pushing him away and for not knowing what was good for me.

I was the one who got hurt and the one who lost my son. Why should I endure all the pain and

make everything seem fine?

Was I supposed to do that simply because h e loved me?

Just because he loved me, was I supposed t o pretend like nothing had happened even though he

had hurt me?

Would that not be too unfair, then?

When I did not receive Theo’s reply after a very long time, I raised my eyes to look at him.

I saw him staring fixedly at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes and felt a little uneasy. I

subconsciously avoided his gaze.

He reached out to pinch my chin and forced me to look into his eyes. "You took the liberty to push

me to her. I was only doing what you wanted me to do. Shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you

accusing me now instead?"

"Yes!” Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm happy. I'm so happy I can die."

Theo pinched my chin even harder and said in a cold voice, "You don't need to use her to get at me.

You know there's nothing going on between us.”

He continued after a pause, “I can wait until you get past the hurdle in your heart. Even if you can

never get past the hurdle, I'll still keep waiting. I have all the time in the world to wait for you.'

My eyes were completely crimson. "I don’t want you to wait for me!

"I admit that I feel horrible pushing you to Elena, but so what? Time is the best medicine. I know I

can let you go one day. I don’t want you to pester me when I find someone I want to spend the rest

of my life with, impacting the quiet and peaceful life that I so painstakingly earned for myself. That’s

why I ruthlessly pushed you to Elena.

"Isn’t it great that we’ll both find people more suitable for us? I didn't call you tonight. Shannon took

my phone and called you. I had no knowledge of it at all. If I knew, then I wouldn’t have let you

come over and throw up all over you. I didn't do it on purpose. If you want me to pay for it, then I'll

pay for it. But I can't accept the ridiculous price you stated.”
