Chapter 21

The sobbing on the other end of the line stopped abruptly. Aveline's voice trembled, sharp with disbelief. "Theodore… What do you mean by that?"Theodore closed his eyes, his voice deep and weary. "I've indulged you too much in the past. Since you're married now, try to make the best of it. If you truly find it unbearable—"He paused before continuing, "Then, talk to Mom and Dad. I don't have the energy to deal with it right now."He gave a bitter laugh. "Besides, if I step in, I'm afraid that Calla will be even less likely to forgive me."Aveline's breathing grew rapid, then she erupted into a fit of hysterical screams. "Have you actually fallen for Calista?"Theodore remained silent for a moment before finally whispering, "Yes."That single word made Aveline completely lose control.Her voice was piercing. "That's impossible! The one you like is supposed to be me! How could you like her? You're lying! You must be lying to me!"She rambled incoherently, accusing him of everyth

In the cafe, Sebastian stirred his coffee unhurriedly. Theodore's very first sentence made his hand stop mid-motion."Give her back to me. I'll trade anything for her."Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Anything?"Theodore's voice was hoarse. "Yes. I can give you shares of Montclair Group, land in Joville, and my overseas assets."He closed his eyes for a moment. "I can even bring Ave back and make her apologize to Calla in person."Sebastian suddenly laughed. He set down his cup, a hint of mockery flickering in his blue eyes. "Theodore, do you still not understand?"Calista isn't a commodity. She's a human being with flesh and blood, someone who feels pain and sheds tears. You once had her whole heart, and you crushed it with your own hands."Sebastian stood up and looked down at Theodore. "Now, it's my turn to love her."He let out a soft chuckle. "As for you, you can live the rest of your life with your guilt."Theodore sat in place, watching Sebastian walk away. He suddenly re

Aveline froze in place. "What?"Theodore spoke evenly, "Since you are married now, try to make the best of it."Then, he looked at George. "You're not to lay a hand on her. Otherwise, you know the consequences."George nodded repeatedly and stepped forward to grab Aveline's wrist. "Darling, come back with me. I'll treat you well."Even if George didn't hit her, he still had countless ways to torment her. Besides, he was old and ugly, while she was still young and stunning.Aveline struggled wildly. "Theodore! How could you do this to me? You said you would protect me forever! You said I was the most important person to you! Theodore… I was wrong… Theodore…"Her hysterical cries gradually faded into the distance. Theodore walked into the study without looking back.In the study, he personally set fire to everything related to Aveline, including photographs, gifts, and the drawings she had made as a child. Flames devoured the past, sending ashes drifting through the air.From tha

The entire venue fell silent.Theodore stood at the boundary of light and shadow, the creases of his suit still stained with coffee from the flight, and his usually impeccable hair tousled over his forehead.Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Montclair, are you trying to ruin my proposal?"Theodore ignored him and walked straight to Calista, dropping to his knees in front of her. His voice was terribly hoarse. "I know I deserve no forgiveness, but please look at me one more time."The guests erupted in shock as the head of the Montclair family from Joville, a man known for being cold and noble, kneeled there perfectly upright.Calista took half a step back. "Theodore, don't do this."Theodore's Adam's apple bobbed. "I've written 300 love letters. They covered every day from the moment we first met, through our marriage, and then… to the days when I fell for you but was too afraid to admit it."He opened the box with trembling hands, and the snow-white envelopes spilled out like f
