The Woman From Hell

Chapter 249

"Theowy, Daddy and Mommy loved me very much since I was young, but they left me too early.

Thankfully, you were around to love and pamper me o n behalf of them. However, all you do is ignore me now. I'm so afraid that I'll be all alone. Theowy, I beg of you, please don't abandon me, okay?"

Theo frowned as he spoke, "Stop messing around, Cindy. I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you've found your biological parents who love you, and I have my own family. It's time for me to end things."

"I don't want to! My biological parents may love me but I'm not close to them. I'm not happy at the Louises '!" Cindy wailed.

"Theowy, I don’t wanna be with the Louises’. I just wanna be with you, Zedd, and Mason. You three are m y family. I don't want anything else. I just want us to b e like how we used to be. I just wanna be your little sister and be with you every day.”
