Thea stood there,pletely at a loss for words, utterly humiliated by everything I had said. She looked like she was about to crumble under the weight of it all.
But she brought this on herself.
“If you have nothing else to say, you should head back. You’re carrying a delicate little one, after all. If anything happens, it’ll be a problem,” I said, not mocking her but genuinely offering a piece of advice.
If she intended to keep the baby, she should be extra careful, not running around, especially in risky ces like an amusement park.
Unless, of course, deep down, she didn’t want the child at all.
The thought struck me like a jolt. I nced at Thea’s face, but she was still caught up in the embarrassment I had caused, so I didn’t notice any obvious signs.
I’d said what needed to be said, and the anger had been released. Without another word, I turned to leave.
‘Do you really not love Alvin anymore? Do you not want to be with him?” Thea’s voice broke through as I was walking away.
I smiled, not turning around. “Mm, I’m letting him go. He’s all yours.”
Let her have him, but I doubted she’d be able to hold onto him.
These past days, Alvin’s childish, out-of-control behavior had shown me that, despite everything, he still had feelings for me. He was just too oblivious to recognize it. Now that I’d officially cut ties with him, he seemed to be desperately trying to prove he was still relevant.
It was clear-his feelings for Thea weren’t love. It was just a fleeting impulse.
But even if that were true, I couldn’t forgive him.
I either want all of him or none of him.
My man couldn’t belong to anyone else. If he was with someone else, I didn’t want him.
“Then don’t have any more contact with him. Better yet, avoid even seeing him,” Thea’s next words were so predictable, they almost made meugh.
It was clear she was deeply invested in Alvin, even if it was just for the things he could provide her with-food, lodging, and ess to his credit card.
I had reached the elevator, and I turned to nce at her with a mock smile. “How about you just give me a small fortune, and I’ll disappear into the wilderness? That way, everything will go just as you wish.”
Thea’s face went deathly pale. She tugged at the hem of her skirt, clearly distressed.
She’d previously told me she didn’t have money and had to use Alvin’s card, so myment hit her hard.
The elevator door opened, and I stepped inside without even sparing Thea a second nce.
Back in Myra’s room, I didn’t know what to do, so I started watching the drama Myra had been glued to.
It was actually pretty good, and by the time I’d watched five episodes, I heard a knock on the door. It was Josh, saying, “Myra,
tell Zoe toe to my room in ten minutes.”
“Oh, sure,” Myra replied, opening the door. She didn’t see me, but she did see her shoes flying across the room.
“Ugh, this is impossible! Who does this kind of work?” Myra grumbled, walking into the room.
I put my phone down and patted the couch beside me. “Come on, I’ll give you a massage.”
Myra came over, but instead of lying down, she threw her arms around me. “Zoe, pleasee back. I can’t do this without
you.”
I patted her head. “If you want the big responsibilities, you have to endure the tough stuff. Go take a bath and get some sleep.”
