Chapter 547

I took a deep breath and drew my hands out from Theo's huge palm. "I’m really sorry, Theo, but I

can't promise you that."

Theo's body stiffened as an icy chill emanated from his body. His eyes were bone-piercingly cold as

well.

A strong sense of powerlessness rose in my heart.

Actually, this had nothing to do with anyone else. It was my marriage with Theo that went wrong.

There was a huge problem between us.

"Theo..." I clenched my hands that were hanging down my sides into fists, exerting all the strength

in me to say, “Let's... get a divorce."

Theo raised his hand and squeezed my chin, his eyes filled with frost. "Stop dreaming, Wanda

Lane. I'll not agree to a divorce. Never."

His tone was so sullen that I could not stop my body from shivering.

He did not seem to have anything else to say. He lowered his head to bite down on my ears hard

before turning around to leave.

Were we supposed to keep torturing each other like this if we did not get a divorce?

I sat down on the floor, hugging my knees and closing

my eyes. My head was hurting.

I sat on the floor for a very long time before getting up and continuing to pack my luggage.

Get out of here as soon as possible. I repeated the same words in my head.

After packing my luggage, I took my phone and booked a flight to Salt City tomorrow before going to

bed.

I thought I would not be able to sleep, but I miraculously fell asleep in no time at all.

However, I did not sleep until morning as I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of

the door opening and closing.

I opened my eyes and saw Theo walking out of the bathroom without a shirt. His lower body was

wrapped in a bath towel. He did not wipe his hair dry, and water droplets were dripping down from

his hair onto his chest.

He was a very attractive man. Whether it was his looks, physique, or the attributes he was naturally

equipped with, he was a man who could easily make any woman go crazy.

Theo walked over, lifted the covers, and climbed into bed.

There was a gush of warm air, and the fragrance of the shower gel filled the tip of my nose. I felt

dizzy.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his body against mine.

After two minutes, I moved my body to get away from Theo but he held me tighter. "Sleep. Move

again and I can't promise you that I’ll stay put."

I was so scared that I dared not move anymore.

After a few more minutes, Theo’s breathing became even. He had fallen asleep.

I opened my eyes to look at his face with the help of the moonlight. I did not look closely enough at

him earlier. Now that I was, I realized that there were dark circles under his eyes and weariness was

written all over his face.

He was in such deep sleep that he did not even wake u p after my fingers lingered on his face for a

long time.

It did not take long for me to feel a little sleepy. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I did not sleep well, though. I would wake up from time to time.

When I woke up again, I found that it was already dawn. I did not want to sleep anymore and

intended t o get up.

Theo's arm was still wrapped around my waist. I attempted to remove it but could not do so no

matter what.

He was pretending to be asleep.

I felt a little speechless. "I have to get up."

"Get up and go where?" Theo opened his eyes.

I pursed my lips. "What am I supposed to do if I don't get out of bed after I wake up?"
