Barbara sat in the middle of the hall, clearly expecting me to handle the situation. Hearing others constantly criticize me, I was so angry I nearly fainted on the spot.
I didn’t know how the truth had been twisted in their ears. But as far as I remember, when I first met Theo, he never mentioned Stella a single time.
The only thing he ever said about Stella was that night when he was drunk and spoke his true feelings.
He said that when he was young, he was ignorant and made a mistake that cost two lives. He swore to take good care of the couple’s children to repay his debt.
Over the years, he had spent a lot on that child, ensuring that all his needs were met at the same standard as his own.
He cried as he hugged me, saying the pressure was too much for him to bear, that the weight of two lives was almost too much to carry.
I thought he was a responsible and reliable man. My guard gradually lowered. After that night, our relationship heated up quickly.
At the opening ceremony, he confessed his feelings to me in front of the entire school.
After I rejected him, he insisted on sending me flowers and meals for two hundred days.
