"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."
