Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 618:

Theo raised his glass and clinked it against Freda’s, a cruel smile on his lips. “Because I don’t love you,” he said, his voice dripping with disdain. “All that kindness I showed you? It was nothing more than a charade to secure your family’s cooperation!”

Freda’s eyes welled up with tears at his words, but she forced herself to remain composed. “Then why not keep up the facade? You’ve lost so much money and resources by refusing to marry me. Isn’t that a heavy price to pay?”

Theo’s expression turned colder. “I don’t want Elyse to find out that I’ve been seeing you. The loss from breaking up with you is a price I’m willing to pay.”

Freda opened her mouth to argue, to tell him that his obsession with Elyse was pointless and that a future with her was the best choice. But she found herself at a loss for words, feeling like a fool. Could they be together if Elyse wasn’t in the way? She wasn’t really sure.

Theo’s impatience grew as he saw the tears threatening to spill from Freda’s eyes. The last thing he wanted was a scene. Wouldn’t everyone there see him as a jerk then? “Are we done here?” he snapped. “Can I go now?”

Freda longed to stop him, but his look of disdain pierced her heart. She swallowed her thoughts and said, “Go ahead.”

Theo’s contempt for her was palpable. She had no reason to hold onto him. Trying to make him stay would only make her look more pathetic. Freda stood rooted to the spot for a few minutes, trying to gather her emotions. This event, once vibrant, now seemed utterly meaningless. She just wanted to go home.
