Chapter 1298
Cassey took a deep breath as though she could not stand it any longer. "Wanda, | think you're awfully
inexperienced when it comes to relationships. Also, in everyone else’s eyes, what you're doing is simply kicking
up a fuss. If | were to analyze your behavior, you're acting like this because you think that Theo will never leave
you no matter what you do. You think that he'll always find a way to persuade you to cback.
"He's spoiled you, and that led to your indulgence in this gof having him chase after you. You often
encourage others to cherish their loved ones but are you doing as you say? Has it ever crossed your mind that
maybe you and Theo's relationship will actually cto an end
when he becomes exhausted one day?"
| froze. Her words catlike a blow, leavingdumbfounded.
Cassey continued, "Caleb's and my relationship isn't as passionate as yours, nor do we experience challenges
like you do, but our marriage comes in the most basic form. In our tiny home, trivial matters such as not washing
one's socks, neglecting the baby, or fighting over work stress one party brings hmay be a constant, but we
both acknowledge that this is just a small part of life. We understand that we should let these matters pass.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey're not to be taken seriously.
"Most of the time, we'll give each other a morning kiss and a hug before we leave the house. When one of us
faces stress and blues at work, everything becomes worth it
the moment we chand see each other. The relationship that Caleb and | share is ordinary and lasting.
We're raising a baby together, and as we offer our love for each other, we share the love with our baby at the
stime.
"Perhaps your and Theo's relationship is more passionate than any of us, but there's a huge problem with how
both of you view and treat love. You overcomplicate love. Just think about it. Is
Cindy really an obstacle between the two of you? What about Matthew? Not at all. In fact, a person will meet
plenty of people who will have a crush on them in this lifetime. Are you going to take all of them so seriously
each time? They're just passersby in your life. | don't understand why you're quarreling over these passersby.
"A healthy relationship is all about understanding and tolerance. It’s to be able to think differently and put
yourself in another person's shoes rather than making demands and restrictions. Theo has becbetter and
better over the years. He compromises and is tolerant, so much so that he tries his best not to give you any
pressure when he knows that you refuse to be a housewife. But where are your changes? Do you really not want
to grow at all?"
Cassey's words hithard across the face like a vicious slap.
After so many years of marriage, | had always thought I loved him and was genuinely good to him. However, that
was not the case at all. | often thought that everything should happen the way | wanted it to be, and if it was not
the case, | would think that it was wrong.
Moreover, | had never made an effort to understand him. From the moment my baby died, to learning that he
had swapped Cindy and my DNA reports, | had been making a fuss. In the end, it seemed like Theo was the one
who was hurt the most.
All this time, | seemed to be taking revenge on him and making demands in the nof love.
Seeingfall silent, Cassey let out a long sigh. "Wanda, it's easy to love. All it takes is a bit of hormone
stimulation, but it's difficult to keep each other. It takes two for mutual understanding to work. He understands
you, but you don't understand him enough, so he'll be the first to becdisappointed in the end. From what
I'm seeing, you've been hurting Theo this whole time—even to the point of crossing the line.
"Theo carries the traits of a soldier. He's responsible and extremely loyal. He can't leave Cindy behind. You
should really be understanding of this. If he's someone who can leave Cindy behind without a single care, then

| nodded, realizing that | seem to have been too impulsive and wilful. | had never put myself in Theo's shoes, nor
did I truly understand him.
Recalling what she said earlier about Grant Corporation being in trouble, | asked, "What happened in the
company?"
I had been away from Whaldorf City for a very long time, so there were many things here that | was unaware of.
Theo never mentioned any of these things to me, so it was even harder forto know.
Cassey scratched her head. "Several years ago, it was revealed that Grant Corporation's private hospital was
charging an exorbitant amount, and there was also a medical incident. This matter was dealt with, but for some
reason, it's being brought up again. Seven said that Theo is relying on Carlson's power to bid for plots of
land using unfair means, so the construction for several plots of land that Grant Corporation plans to work on is
currently on hold. This was big news."

| frowned. “Who brought up the past incident? Also, why is Carlson dragged into the land bidding conflict?"
