Chapter 36
“Wanda!” He frowned and pursed his thin lips, glaring at me coldly.
Our eyes met, and I felt stifled. I was not afraid of the coldness in Theo’s eyes.
After a long while, he said, “I saw Cecilia just now.”
I froze. I expected Theo to scold me and then force me to apologize. What I did not expect was him
resorting to despicable means of using Cecilia to threaten me. He knew how important Cecilia was to
me.
I looked at him. He was smiling coldly while looking back at me quietly.
I felt a chill in my heart. After a momento f silence, I walked around him and came t o Cindy. “I
apologize!”
Cindy still looked like she had just endured a great grievance.
Zedd, who was hugging her, sneered and said disdainfully, “You have no sincerity a tall. Cindy has
such a big bump on the back of her head. We cannot just let it go like this.”
I laughed out of anger. I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked coldly,” What does President
Nichols want me tod
“How about this? For Second Brother’s sake, I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you
punish yourself by downing ten glasses of wine, I will consider this matter to be over.”
How was this not making things difficult for me? He knew that I had just undergone surgery, and my
body had yet t O recover completely.
“Zedd, stop messing around.” Mason, who had been silent all this while,
frowned and spoke up.
“Second Brother, what do you think?” Zedd looked at Theo.
Theo narrowed his eyes and looked at me. Finally, he looked at Cindy and said, What do you think?”
Theowy, Wanda is one of us. I believe that she did not do it on purpose. The apology is not the most
important thing. I have not met Wanda for so many days. Let her come with us to have a drink. It is rare
for us to get together like this.”
It was not surprising coming from Cindy. Her words were always beautiful and appropriate for the
occasion. I almost could not help but applaud her act.
Theo did not say anything.
I walked forward and asked Cindy.” Where is the private room?”
Mason looked at me and said anxiously, Do not be rash!”
I shook my head. “It is okay.” I whispered, “I know what I am doing “I knew he was worried about the
baby, but i f I did not drink today, this matter would never end.
Theo, who had not expressed his opinion, suddenly said coldly, “This woman does not know what is
good for her. Let’s go to the private room.” Then, he walked out and left.
My heart sank. I thought Theo would have some considerations for me, but…
Zedd and Cindy smiled and walked towards the private room happily
As if afraid that the alcohol would not kill. me, Zedd ordered white wine with the highest alcohol content
and mured i autt o ten glasses He looked at me and said, Let’s begin!!!
Zedd did not just want me to drink the wine as an apology. He wantei to claim m y life with the wine as
wel.
I lift my eyes to look at Theo. His lips were pursed tightly, and his expression was serious. He did not
look at me, ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Looking away, I picked up the wine glass from the table and poured it into my mouth. I quickly got up
and ran to the washroom afterward.
say that I was allowed to throw up.
“Wanda, how shameless can you be? Thisi Snol drinking. It does not count when you throw up. Let’s
start over again.” Zedd would not let me off. He refilled the wine
It looked like I would not be able to escape tonight. I reached up and touched my belly. “You have to be
strong, kid.”
I picked up the glass again and poured it into my mouth, forcing myself to swallow
My stomach churned, and I could not take it anymore. I got up to the bathroom and started throwing up
again.
Mason followed me in and sighed. You are very stubborn, you know that? Is it so difficult to ask Theo
for a favor? As long a s you ask, he will not let Zedd mess around.”
I shook my head and smiled sadly. “I am not Cindy.”
After a pause, I continued, “Would this have any particular impact on the fetus? I s there any
medication that can help?”
“What do you think? If you drink it all down, you will lose your life, let alone the fetus.” He rolled his
eyes at me.
How could I not know? However, with the current situation, I would rather die than beg Theo in front of
Cindy and risk the chance of being rejected by him.
When my body slowly began to settle down, I returned to the room.
