Chapter 140:

Theo stared at Elyse, a myriad of conflicting emotions surging in his heart. He would always toss and turn in bed at the end of the night, overwhelmed by disappointment in himself for failing to fulfill his promises to her. He wanted a second chance to redeem himself. He pondered whether Elyse would fade from his thoughts and allow him to rest peacefully if he made amends.

Theo spoke in a tone one would usually use when coaxing a sullen child. “I know it’s not possible right now, but we parted ways too soon. There’s still so much I wanted to do for you.”

Elyse scoffed in disdain. “What kind of things? Are they even important? Because if they are, then why did you ignore them until now?” She turned stern as she added, “Quit your acting. I have no need for your crocodile tears, and I certainly don’t need you to do anything for me.”

It was evident that she was set on their separation. Theo’s anger dissipated, giving way to bitter remorse in his heart. It would be dishonest to claim he had no feelings for her, yet for some inexplicable reason, he had attempted to ignore his emotions. He blocked her path and asked in earnest, “Did you ever love me, Elyse?”

Elyse was taken aback. “What the hell was wrong with this man? Why was he always doing things she couldn’t understand?” She looked him in the eye and let out a small chuckle. “Yes, I did love you before, but so what?”
