Chapter 614:

Upon hearing Theo’s declaration, his friend was taken aback. Then, with a rueful smile, he said, “Buddy, you’ve got it bad.”

Theo managed a small, wistful smile and replied, “You think I haven’t tried to give up? Elyse isn’t just on my mind. She’s in my heart, pulsing through my veins.”

He paused briefly, then added, “I can’t stop thinking about her. I miss her all the time—when I eat, before I sleep. She’s become part of my daily routine. The only respite I get is when I’m buried in my work.”

Theo’s friend was so surprised by Theo’s intensity that he could only grumble in response, “Enough already. You sound like a modern-day Casanova, always talking about love. It’s too much.”

Theo sighed and said, “I wish I could be like you, not tied down, waking up with someone new each day. But that’s not me. I have someone who occupies my thoughts.”

This prompted his friend to lightly punch him in the chest and retort, “Now you’re making me out to be the bad guy to make yourself look good. I haven’t fooled around for a long time. Don’t spread rumors about me. We’ve all had our moments.”

Theo looked at his friend, took a sip of his drink, and teased, “I heard your family’s setting you up on blind dates. Do you think any high-society ladies want a guy with your history? If they dig a little, they’ll find a treasure trove of your escapades.”
