Chapter 351

Author: Flower Sock
Had Theo not been lazy and let them go on inspection first, his best friends wouldn't have died. If it weren't for him, maybe things would've turned out differently.

This thought had haunted Theo for nearly six years, torturing him endlessly. He didn't want to be driven mad by it, so he shifted that pain onto someone else.

Out of selfishness, he wanted Gregory to share in his suffering, as he couldn't take it anymore.

He knew full well that what he was doing was wrong, but he still did it anyway.

But Gregory kept softening toward Anathea, caught in a conflict. Theo couldn't understand it at all.

He didn't get why Gregory would go soft on her.

To Theo, Anathea was just a fragile, clingy woman. She was delicate but useless. Besides her pretty face, she had nothing to make Gregory fall for her.

It wasn't until that time, when Anathea had drunk two glasses of wine with scorpions without hesitation to protect her colleague, that he was stunned by her courage.

He saw a different side

  • Why the Crocodile Tears?   Chapter 468

    Exciting news about the Floristry World Cup arrived three months later."The results of the recent Floristry World Cup in Grendova have been finalized! Ms. Aspen Langley, the president of the International Floristry Evaluation Committee, shall present the trophy to the first-place winner!"Aspen wore a sleek, white business suit as she approached the first-place winner on stage, holding a golden trophy that boasted florals in bloom. The audience's raucous applause surrounded her.The lead cameraman quickly cut to the stage, panning the camera to where Anathea stood in a long, pearl-colored dress.Her long hair had been braided to the side and cascaded past her chest, the ends entwined with pale blue baby's breath. Royal blue earrings hung from her earlobes, sparkling under the lights. Everyone clapped loudly for the young and stunning winner."Congratulations, Nat." Aspen embraced Anathea."Thank you, Ms. Langley." A smile curved Anathea's lips. "Don't go back on your word now. I

    Gregory thought nothing outside mattered, as long as he could be by Anathea's side. But just as Anathea had said, that wasn't love. It was possessiveness.Only when she carved a shocking wound on her wrist just so she wouldn't be trapped by him did he realize how utterly wrong he had been all along."Love isn't about possession. It's about letting her do what she wants." Gregory gazed out the window. His hoarse voice had a hint of acceptance.So, he chose to let go and gave Anathea her freedom back.…At Castenea International Airport, Anathea said, "You should go now.""Alright." Louie nodded, then handed her a document. It was the divorce agreement, already signed by Gregory.Anathea paused for a moment before smiling faintly. "He finally agreed?"Louie nodded. "You can take it with you and sign it after you've thought it—""Do you have a pen?" Anathea asked.Louie hadn't expected her to be so decisive. He pulled out a pen to hand over.Still, he felt the need to speak for

    Theo stood frozen.He remembered gripping Gregory's collar outside the operating room, demanding answers. And now, those words had come back at him.It was because of his grudge against Gregory that he had been so desperate to take Anathea away. Other than wanting to protect her, his biggest motivation was to make Gregory regret it.Gregory was always so cold and aloof. Even when their mutual friends died, Gregory hadn't shed a single tear. He was like an unfeeling monster, so cold and heartless it made Theo furious.So he had dragged Gregory to this remote place, hoping to keep him and Anathea apart for good. He wanted to see the regret on Gregory's face when he rushed back, only to find the ward empty.Everything had been driven by his selfishness.But only at this moment did he realize just how foolish that mindset had been.He had repeatedly attacked Gregory's weakness, trying to make him feel his pain. Now he understood that he really was just a petty villain.Regret overw

    "Anathea?" A flicker of surprise flashed in Adrian's eyes. He glanced between Theo and Gregory, looking thoroughly entertained."Gregory, did you really think that locking her up and playing the caring husband every day would make her forget everything she's been through? That kind of pain doesn't just vanish!"Theo jabbed a finger at Gregory. "Don't you get it? As long as she stays with you, she'll always be in danger. Those who are after you will never spare anyone close to you. And yet, you're still selfish enough to trap her by your side! You don't love her. This is just your twisted possessiveness talking!""So you thought you could just lure me out to some remote corner of nowhere and secretly send my wife away?" Gregory asked calmly.Theo faltered. He knew it wasn't exactly the right thing to do. But he didn't care at all."So what if I did? She doesn't want to be tied to you and be your wife!" Theo scoffed. "She chose to accept my help. That proves she's dead set on leavin

    Everything went far more smoothly than Anathea had expected.The bodyguards at the entrance had all been withdrawn. Even Louie wasn't around.Anathea picked up her things and left the ward. A rush of freedom surged toward her.A nurse waiting outside immediately stepped forward. "Ms. Jacobson, I'm here on Mr. Harrington's orders to escort you to the car."Anathea glanced at the nurse, nodded slightly, and followed her. "Please lead the way.""Of course," the nurse replied gently. "Please come with me."The nurse walked while scanning her surroundings. As she reached the elevator to the underground parking lot, she stopped and slipped a hand into her pocket. A cold gleam of a blade flashed.She glanced at Anathea behind her and smiled. "Ms. Jacobson, please step into the elevator."…On the outskirts of Castenea, an abandoned fishing boat sat silent and weathered."Break the door down!" Theo raised his hand.The bodyguards immediately kicked open the locked door and cautiousl

    Gregory's eyes were already rimmed with red. He rested his forehead gently against the back of Anathea's head, trying to suppress the lump in his throat."Then at least let me stay with you for tonight. Just one night. That's all I ask."His tone carried a hint of pleading, tinged with a quiet humility.He didn't dare ask for forgiveness. He just wanted to be near her, even if it was only for this one night.Anathea didn't respond. She neither agreed nor refused.Because she knew that she would leave this place behind for good after tonight. She would leave behind everything that had worn her down.It was just one night, after all.She closed her eyes and let him hold her.Sensing her silent acquiescence, Gregory smiled faintly. He held her a little tighter, like he wanted to fuse her into his bones. Yet his grip was so careful and controlled, as if he was afraid she would break."Annie, please eat well and rest properly. Take care of your body and stay healthy, okay?"He pre
