Chapter 269 Held Captive.

Everleigh looked at her own reflection in Theodore's eyes and was very surprised. The Theodore she knew was always strict and meticulous. Be it work or people, he would never give in on the standards he expected. Everyone thought that she was strong and wanted to be the center of attention, but what they didn't know was that she never wanted any of that.

"What do you mean? Do you think I can act as if nothing had happened after all this?" She told him slowly, her voice emotionless.

She even ignored the pleading look in his eyes.

"Everleigh, I'm sincere towards you."

"Really? Can you really let go of what happened that night?" She said lightly, but the sarcasm in her eyes was apparent.

Theodore's body swayed, and grief filled his entire body. He had always thought that he wouldn't care, but when she said those words, his heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows.

"What's the matter now? I thought you were very sincere? Why the silence now?" She suddenly laughed, but the sarcasm in her tone was still there.

She glanced back at the man holding her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"You are not leaving this place." His expression darkened as his grip tightened a little.

She frowned and took a deep breath, but her tone was still calm, "Why?"
