My words drew laughter from Matthew. He raised a brow but offered no denial.

A sense of unexpectedness surged in me. It looked like that was what he had indeed intended.

I shook my head and stared at him fixedly.

Matthew looked into my eyes, his expression freezing suddenly before he said, "Love makes people crazy, doesn't it?"

His question made my heart tremble. Before I could respond, he continued, "You've done a lot of stupid things for Theo. If someone asked you what you wanted, how would you respond to them?" "I..."

I was once lowly like a speck of dust. I would endure his ignorant and even vicious words one by one, but what did I want at that time?
