Theo, you have to marry me! You can’t just drop these cruel words on me and walk away like this! I’ve spent my youth loving you. All these years, I’ve loved you so much! I’ve held on for you, but…but how can you do this to me? You promised you’d marry me! How can you break your promises, time after time? It’s so despicable of you!
I really am a bastard. You can curse me however you want, it’s all my fault. I will take responsibility.
Then marry me! Cynthia shouted. I don’t want anything else! I just want you to marry me. You must fulfill everything you promised. How can you call yourself a man otherwise? You’ve hurt Rosalie, and now, you’re hurting me. It’s simply unforgivable!
I’m sorry. Theodore didn’t know what else to say beyond that.
I don’t want to hear your apologies! I want you to marry me!
I can’t marry you.
You promised you would! I don’t care what you’re thinking now. You must marry me! Theo, you can’t do this to me! Cynthia, frantic, grabbed his suit. You promised me! You have to keep your promise! Otherwise, what’s the use of this heart? What’s it for?
She clenched her fists and pounded her chest.
This heart beats for you! If not, why should I go through so many surgeries? Just let me die!
Cindy, you shouldn’t think like this. Your life is your own, and it’s still beautiful. You’re so young, and you shouldn’t see me as your only chance. You should go after your dreams, Theodore tried to reason.
I don’t want you to tell me what I should do! Cynthia wiped the tears from her face forcefully. I want you to marry me! You must fulfill your promise. If you don’t, I’ll never be at peace!
The gravity of Cynthia’s words was evident; she looked as though she might end her life at any moment.
Theodore grasped her arms. “Cindy, calm down. Please don’t do this.
How can I calm down? Cynthia screamed.
can you expect me to stay calm? Theo, you’re cruel! can you do this to me and
How How c

shatter my hopes? If that’s the case, why did you make so many
promises in the first place? You’re truly despicable!
Look, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Don’t worry. Whatever problems you face in the future—
I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want
money! I just want to marry you! Did
you think I was with you for the money? So I’m just some kind of gold-digger to you? Cynthia’s
emotions were escalating
Theodore sighed in resignation. I understand, but besides money, I don’t have much else to offer you.
I want to be Mrs. Spencer! I want to be your wife! Theo, I need to marry you, or I’ll go crazy. I’m begging you!
Cynthia clung to his arm. I’ve loved you so humbly. Please, have some compassion. Don’t do this to me. You can’t refuse to marry me. Otherwise, I can’t live. What use is this heart?
Theodore didn’t know what to say.
Please, Theo,don’t abandon me! Cynthia collapsed to the ground, clutching his leg desperately while crying uncontrollably. Theo, in this lifetime, you are my one and only. I don’t want anyone but you! I truly love you. You can’t do this to me! You can’t humiliate me like this!
