Theodore looked down, and nodded as gently as he could. "I admit that I do feel guilt toward you, but...I don''t love you."


    Cynthia pulled the sheets open with a whoosh, and rushed to the windows.


    Theodore immediately chased after her. "Cindy!"


    He shot out like an arrow toward Cynthia, and grabbed her arm.


    Cynthia charged forward stubbornly. "Let me go! Let me go!"


    "Cindy, don''t be like this!" Theodore pulled her back hard.


    "No, just let me die! What''s the point of living? Let me die, let me go!"


    Cynthia cried brokenly, and threw herself into his embrace as Theodore pulled her back. She hugged him tight, and buried her head in his chest. "You can''t treat me like this,” she said through sobs. "You can''t be like this! You said you wanted to marry me! You promised me... You promised me!” "Cindy, didn''t you hear what the doctor said? You can''t get agitated."


    “I''m getting agitated, I don''t care! I managed to survive, and this is how you treat me? What''s the point of surviving? Just let me die! Let me die!" Theodor grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her away from his embrace. He asked emphatically, "Cindy, do you really want to marry me that badly?"


    Cynthia stared at him with tear-filled eyes. "Do you even need to ask me that?"


    "Will you still want to marry me and be Mrs. Spencer, even if I don''t love you?"


    "That''s what you promised me! Why are you talking about love right now? Theo, I just want you to keep your word, whether you love me or not. Just know that I love you, and that! can even give you a bit of my love for you. No-I can give you so much of it and I''ll still have endless love for you, because nothing in this world canpare with the love I have for you! I don''t care about anything else as long as you''re by my side. I can give up on everything!"


    Theodore looked down in disappointment.


    The sorrowful face of a woman appeared in his mind. It didn''t belong to Cynthia, but Rosalie.


    The only thing he saw was hopelessness.


    He had never felt such hopelessness toward Rosalie, and such hopelessness came from himself. He couldn''t see any hope of reconciling with her, and she would never forgive him.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    She had married Sebastian-there was no turning back.


    "Alright, I''ll marry you. I''ll take you back today to make preparations, and we''ll hold our wedding the day after tomorrow," he finally said.


    Cynthia was in disbelief when she


    heard that. She wanted to ask him if he was for real, but each time she asked something like that, he would reassure her that it was. This time she didn''t dare to believe it was, but she had to.


    Aside from taking him at his word, she had no other choice.


    Cynthia opened her mouth to say something, but Theodore cut her off. "Cindy, there''s one more thing you must understand." "What is it?"


    "I can marry you, but you must know that I don''t love you. I''ll treat you well because you''re Mrs. Spencer, and can give you anything you want, but I won''t treat you the way a husband treats his wife. I won''t even sleep on the same bed as you. Do you still want to marry me?"


    The cruelest words were often spoken in the calmest way possible. "Theo, must you put it so cruelly?"
