Chapter 1402
Theo’s gaze abruptly turned icy. He directly stared at Sophia with a gaze filled with displeasure.
Sophia had never encountered such a cold gaze before. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, looking pale and seemingly
harmless, his gaze still sent chills down her spine.
He said seriously, “I think her growing up in the countryside is to her advantage. I don’t care about your so-called ‘unable to
mingle with the upper class’ ideals. I know how outstanding she is. The fact that she’s into me is already a huge blessing to me. I
don’t need a woman to validate my identity. Where she comes from, what her background is, none of that matters. What matters
is that I love her.”
I love her...
Theo uttered the last sentence with conviction. Sophia’s face turned extremely unsightly, and she gritted her teeth. “Theo, why
can’t you understand...”
Impatience flashed in Theo’s eyes as he interrupted her. “l’understand now. I understand why you initially offered to help me. You
claimed to be a friend helping me, but you’ve had ulterior motives from the start and never really intended to call off our
engagement. Now, any gratitude I had for you has vanished. Don’t make me detest you.”
After hearing the word ‘detest; Sophia felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife. The man she had been secretly in love with
for nearly a decade just said he
would detest her.
Her painstaking expression of love was met with his disgust and revulsion: How could she not be heartbroken?
Sophia’s face stiffened for a long while, then her lips twitched, and she let out a bitter laugh. “Theo, I’m sorry for disappointing
you. Just pretend I didn’t say
anything.”
Theo turned his face away coldly, no longer looking at her, and remained silent.
Sophia let out a bitter laugh and then pleaded with him. “Theo, I’m a bit hungry. Before handling the procedures, can we go get
breakfast?
Theo said coldly, “I don’t think that’s necessary. Calling off the engagement won’t take up too much of your time. After it’s done,
you can go have breakfast by yourself.”
Sophia frowned. Her face clearly showed the pain she was feeling. “Theo... Are you really not willing to even have breakfast with
me?”
There’s no need.”
Sophia’s emotions started getting worked up. “Theo, you said you love Ellinor, then you should understand how painful it is when
one’s love is not reciprocated, right? You love Ellinor, and I love you just like how you love Ellinor. When our engagement is
called off, I won’t come back to see you, and you probably won’t come to M State after you’re with Ellinor, right? We might never
see each other again. Even if you don’t have feelings for me, and even if you only regarded me as a friend, you should at least
leave me some dignity. I don’t want anything else. I only want you to have one last meal with me. Can’t you fulfill such a small
request for me, can’t you?”
Theo frowned and thought for a while. He then said indifferently, “If you really want to have this last meal, then let’s eat after
we’ve finished all the procedures.”
Sophia gave him a helpless smile. “Theo, we’ve known each other for so many years. never knew you could detest me this
much. Alright, let’s eat after we’ve finished all the procedures. At least we can break up peacefully.”
Theo responded with nothing but silence.
