StarNovelChapter 1078
I had a bit of a headache and asked while looking at him, "Do you need that much for emotional damages?”
| 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 | threw u p on them, so I had no excuse not to pay for them. However,
askingto pay half a million dollars for emotional damages was too much. | 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, | said, "I didn't ask you t o come."
"What did you say?" Theo's countenance was suddenly terrifyingly grim.
| pursed my lips. "I said | wasn't the one who told you to come."
| was in the wrong, after all, so I did not sound very confident saying that. My voice also gradually softened
toward the end.

| felt very troubled. | received only a few thousand dollars in salary a month. Where was | going to get 700,00
dollars to pay him?
Theo sneered. "Are you saying that | shouldn't have saved your number and picked up your call?"
| lowered my eyes and mumbled, "1 didn’t ask you to pick up."
| had sudden flashbacks of him picking Elena up and walking away this afternoon. | felt a lump in my throat as |
suddenly said, "I'm surprised you actually ignored the stunning lady beside you and answered my call. You even
cto see me.’
"Wanda Lane!"
Theo got cranky. "You sure know how to makeangry. Looks like your head is full of shit.”
Maybe it was the effects of the alcohol that | grew a little emotional. | was no longer as rational as | normally
was. | 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 thanin all aspects and matches you more than me. Since you like her so much, why do you still
care about me, then?"
| 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 blamingfor pushing him away and for not knowing what was good for me.
| was the one who got hurt and the one who lost my son. Why should | endure all the pain and make everything
seem fine?
Was | supposed to do that simply because h e loved me?
Just because he loved me, was | supposed t o pretend like nothing had happened even though he had hurt me?
Would that not be too unfair, then?
When | did not receive Theo's reply after a very long time, | raised my eyes to look at him.
| saw him staring fixedly atwith a pair of pitch-black eyes and felt a little uneasy. | subconsciously avoided
his gaze.

He reached out to pinch my chin and forcedto look into his eyes. "You took the liberty to pushto her. |
was only doing what you wantedto do. Shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you
accusingnow instead?"
"Yes!” Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm happy. I'm so happy | 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. | have all the tin the world to wait for you."
My eyes were completely crimson. "I don’t want you to wait for me!
"I admit that | feel horrible pushing you to Elena, but so what? Tis the best medicine. | know | can let you go
one day. | don’t want you to pesterwhen | find someone | want to spend the rest of my life with, impacting
the quiet and peaceful life that | 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? | didn't call you tonight. Shannon took my phone
and called you. | had no knowledge of it at all. If | knew, then | wouldn't have let you cover and throw up all
over you. | didn't do it on purpose. If you wantto pay for it, then I'll pay for it. But | can't accept the ridiculous «
price you stated.”
