“Admit it, Rachel. You still have feelings for me, don’t you?”
‘She’s not a heartless person; I’m still in her heart! Even if she’s engaged to Caleb now, even if she is
Caleb’s fiancee, that’s just a measure of expediency because I hurt her. She still has feelings for me!’
With that thought, Theo’s eyes brightened. ‘I still have a chance, don’t I? I have a chance to ask for
forgiveness and be with her again!’
The warmth from his hand and his passionate eyes got Rachel furrowing her brow. She remotely
withdrew her hand and replied apathetically, “Theo, I admit that I’m not over you, and I’m not truly elated
being with Caleb, but this doesn’t mean anything. It only proves that I’m a very sentimental person, or
perhaps, I’m a very loyal person when it comes to relationships.”
She lifted her head to stare at the man in front of her coldly.
“You know me. Once I make a decision, I won’t easily regret it. Marrying Caleb is a choice that I make
after deep thought, and since I’ve agreed on it, I’ll keep my promise.”
Rachel thus grabbed Caleb’s arm and said, “He’s right. We’re engaged, and we’ll get married one month
later, so we’re going to stay together tonight.”
“Theo, you were the one who gave up on me first. I had asked you if you’d regret this, and do you
remember what you said?”
The cold, indifferent tone scared Theo, and he stepped backward unconsciously. He clenched his hands
into fists as his face flushed white.
Rachel had indeed asked him that question before, but at that time…all he could feel was the guilt he
had for Roanne. All he could think of was to marry Roanne so her soul could be at ease. Things had
changed.
Charlotte was arrested, and Sirius got thrown into jail. Everything was settled, and he finally understood
how stupid his choice was, especially today, when Luna used Jim and Bonnie as an example to compare
Roanne and him. He finally realized how absurd he was. What Jim did was so very extraordinary that no
one could understand, and he was even less sane than Jim. Theo gravely regretted his decisions, but he
did not know what he should say to make Rachel return to him.
Looking at the way Rachel was looking at him, Theo’s heart slowly sunk deeper. He knew the possibility
of them getting back together…was almost zero.
“Can’t answer it, huh?” Rachel sneered as she looked at his pale-white face. She stared at his
handsome-looking face and said, enunciating every word, “When I asked you, you said that you won’t
regret it-never in your life. So, Theo, when you said you won’t regret it, I also made a decision that I won’t
regret forever in my life. “Maybe you don’t know this, but before dating you, Caleb’s family tried to match
me and Caleb. We had known each other. When you were throwing a tantrum with the employee of the
Civil Affairs Bureau, I was the one who contacted Caleb. I asked him to pick me up, and I was the one
who wanted to be with him.
“So, although I’m not happy to be engaged with him, I won’t regret it or break my promise.” Then, Rachel
lifted her head and smiled at the pale-faced Theo.
“Theo, everyone has to pay the price for the decision they made. Even if I still have feelings for you,
we’ll never get back together. Never.”
