Chapter 297

I did not want to entertain him and turned around to leave.

"Wanda Lane!"

The man's furious roar rang out behind me. I ignored him and quickened my pace.

After taking just a few steps, I saw Theo standing in the distance.

His eyes were so cold that I could sense it even from a distance away.

I went over and stood in front of him, not saying a word. I was not a fool. Theo must have

misunderstood me. It would be wise to remain silent for the time being.

Theo looked at Matthew as he climbed out of the pool and reached out to hold my shoulder. "Are

you cold?"

"I'm not cold.” I felt a gush of warmth in my heart.

Marcus and Quinn came over at this moment. They were stunned when they saw that Matthew was

drenched.

"What’s up with you?" Marcus found Matthew’s wretched appearance an eyesore. "Did you hit your

head or something that you swam with your clothes o

n and at this hour?"

Every time Marcus saw Matthew, he would certainly criticize him.

I saw Matthew standing by himself and suddenly pitied him. I said, "Marcus, it's my fault for pushi-"

"If there's something wrong with my brain, then it’s definitely genetics," Matthew interrupted me.

Marcus was so angry blood rushed to his head. "You brat. Y-You..." He did not know what else to

say but was so furious that he clutched his chest and panted constantly.

"Don't make your father angry, Matthew. You know he's been unwell lately." Quinn patted Marcus'

back and said helplessly, "Hurry up and go to your room to change out of your wet clothes.

Otherwise, you'll catch a cold."

Matthew snorted, treating her words beneath contempt.

Quinn sighed, not saying anything. She ordered the servants to help Marcus back into the villa.

When they left, Matthew walked up to me and said meaningfully, "To be honest, I was quite touched

when you cried for me just now."

Me,"???"

Theo frowned, his gaze dark and sullen when he looked at Matthew's back.

"I accidentally pushed him into the pool and cried because I was frightened," I quickly explained to

him," I wasn't crying for him."

Seeing how anxious I was when explaining myself, Theo chuckled and reached out to stroke my

face. "I believe you."

When we returned to the villa, Marcus had already calmed down. It was getting late, so Theo and I

bid farewell and left.

On our way back, Theo suddenly said, "Stay away from Matthew next time."

Although I was drowsy at first, I suddenly grew alert." Why?"

Theo snorted, and his voice was cold when he said," He's sick in the head."

"Really?" I smirked with a teasing look on my face." Did you find out he's interested in me so you're

jealous?"

"Hah." Theo sneered mercilessly. "It's good to be confident, but being overconfident is a foolish

thing to do."

Why must this man be so sharp-tongued?

I pouted, feeling wronged. "Well yeah, I’ve become both fat and ugly after getting pregnant. You

don’t have feelings for me anymore, let alone other men."
