Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 142 There Is No Responsibility In This World That I Cannot Bear

She felt a faint discomfort from being pressed against the bookshelf behind her. She had no way to escape.

Theodore's face moved closer to hers, and her face was flushed. Her heart was also beating erratically. "Yes, even if something happened, so what?"

Her words stopped him in his tracks.

The lights in the corner were dim. Theodore's expression was gloomy and there was a hint of sorrow on his face. He repeated what she had just said, "So what?"

The ambiguous atmosphere was broken as all logic and calmness came back immediately. Everleigh clenched her fists and her face was calm. "We are both adults. Is it unusual to have a one-night stand?" "What did you say?"

Everleigh looked up at him, cold and even a bit contemptuous, as if looking at a naïve child. "What else could it be? I am married and you are about to get married. Are you going to tell me you will take responsibility? Can you even bear this responsibility?"

Everleigh's casual tone angered Theodore. He gritted his teeth and glared at the woman in front of him. She was just as beautiful as she was in the past, and her words were also aggressive.

But since when did she treat this kind of thing as a trivial matter? Was she disgusted by him, or herself?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. He grabbed Everleigh's chin with one hand and punched the bookshelf to her side with his other hand; the sound made a loud thud.

"Ah..." Everleigh screamed in panic. The wind from his fist passed through her ear when it hit the bookshelf behind her and the sound echoed in the large room.

Everleigh's eyes widened with lingering fear. There were more sarcastic words in her throat, but she could not say them at that moment. The pain in her chin made it hard for her to breathe, and she looked at the man in front of her with fear. Theodore looked at her terrified expression with a gaze as sharp as daggers, as if they could pierce into her chest and lungs. "As long as I want to, there is no responsibility in this world that I cannot bear." Everleigh was stunned.

"Everleigh, I misunderstood you for seven years, but if you had just been honest with me seven years ago, things would not be what they are today."

"If honesty was the best policy, why do you think I said nothing to you back then?"
