Chapter 764

Theo hugged me, his body trembling slightly.

I cast my eyes down. "I watched every day as you treated Cindy nicer and nicer. That made me

think that my existence was superfluous. If I told you that I was pregnant with your child, not only

would you be angry but it would also cause you trouble."

After a pause, I continued, "Out of my own selfishness, I wanted to give birth to the child, but I was

afraid that you would want me to abort it. Hence, I sought Mason's help and faked an abortion. After

the operation, I planned to get a divorce with you and leave Salt City, but I didn’t expect us to be

entangled until now."

Theo had raised the partition in the car a long time ago. He lifted my chin with his slender fingers

and our eyes met. When I stared into his deep and abysmal eyes, they were filled with agony. I was

stunned.

He spoke in a deep and hoarse voice, "I wanted to get a divorce with you because I was afraid that I

would sink deeper and not want to let you go anymore. I was also afraid that you would love me

more and more that it would be too painful for us to separate. I knew from the beginning that you did

not belong to me. I wasn't the man for you and couldn’t give you the

happiness you wanted."

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Do you resent me?" he asked, his faint breath falling o n my face, feeling particularly hot.

I shook my head. "It has been so long. I stopped resenting you long ago."

I cast my eyes downward and continued, "I'm only bringing up the past now because I see my past

self in Susan. That's why I'm lamenting."

His gaze lingered on me. "I wasn't mature enough back then and took things for granted.”

He had always felt guilty for what he did to me back then. I wrapped my arms around his neck and

said," Theo, it's all in the past now and you have no reason t o blame yourself anymore. We're the

same. We didn't know how to love each other in the beginning, and on the journey of learning how

to love a person, we'll inevitably hurt each other. Now that we have learned how to love a person

and how to cherish one another, it's all worth it in the end."

I also hoped that Tyler could soon see what he truly wanted.

I did not believe that he merely treated Susan as a dispensable tool for reproduction after she had

been with him for ten years.

When I was still working at Magnificient Pictures

Television back then, I overheard the director of the design department saying that there was a

woman around Tyler who helped him with his work and was extremely loyal to him. Those who

disliked Tyler would say that he had raised a dog that would not bite. Every time Tyler gave a

command, she would mechanically carry out the tasks he assigned her.

In Susan’s opinion, Tyler giving her a place to stay was already a gift from God. Therefore, she

treated Tyler as her whole world.

She loved him, but she felt deeply inferior and dared not have any wishful thinking.

When a man grew accustomed to a woman's love for him and thought nothing of it, then he was

bound to get his comeuppance.

It was because once the woman withdrew her love, then it would be hard for the man to bear having

no one to love him anymore.

When we returned to the villa, Munchkin was already asleep. I finished washing up and went to his

room to check on him. Seeing how soundly asleep he was, I was relieved.

When I got back to my bedroom, Theo had just come out of the bathroom. He was wiping his hair

with a towel.

I looked at the time and saw how late it was. I asked i n a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"

He stopped wiping his hair and smirked, returning

the question to me, "Are you sleepy?"

I nodded. "A little."

He tossed the towel aside and walked up to embrace m e.

Sensing his good mood, I laughed and asked, "What put you in such a good mood?"

He looked really seductive when he smiled, like an immortal being.

"I'm not gonna tell you," he said mysteriously.
