734 Ti to pursue you- Part 3
"You left Ethan to co speak to . People are going to wonder if sothing is going on, you wouldn't want people speaking," said Lucy, ready to leave but Theodore ca to stand in her way. They stared at each other intensely.
"If you didn't want people to think like that, you shouldn't have spoken what you said there?" asked Theodore, his eyes unwaveringly looking at her.
Lucy didn't lose her ground and replied, "I don't think I said anything that was untrue. You were the one who told you slept with many won." Not to ntion, he had indirectly called her immature, thought Lucy in her mind.
A small smile appeared on Theodore's face. "Isn't it unfair, princess. You got married and started to live your life, and you expect to not do anything remote to it?" he raised his eyebrows at her.
It wasn't that Lucy wasn't aware of what she did because the words had slipped from her mouth and right now she was too prideful to apologize for what she had said.
"It was...you can ignore it. It was nothing," said Lucy.
"But it clearly seems like you want to say sothing to . I don't understand your actions," stated Theodore. "In the middle of the night you co to my room to aid my wounds and now you are back to being cold."
"I wonder why that is," was the quick retort that ca from Lucy. She hadn't expected Theodore to co after her and she felt her heart tremble at that thought.
When Theodore caught sight of a servant who was walking in the nearby corridors, he caught hold of Lucy's hand and pulled her to the nearest room that was not occupied by anyone. "What do you think you are doing?!" Lucy asked, alard.
Theodore shut the door close and Lucy stared at him. "I thought we should speak," he suggested.
Lucy crossed her hands. She would have retorted but that would only prove his point on how immature she was and she wasn't going to let that happen.
"If there is sothing you would like to discuss, we can sit down in the study or drawing room. What is it? I have other things to do," demanded Lucy, lifting her chin up as she looked at the walls. But her eyes moved to the corner to take a look at Theodore who was looking at her and she looked away from him.
It had been a few days since Lucy had found out about her husband's infidelity in their marriage and Theodore knew she had started to detach herself before that point with Samuel. It was the reason why he didn't want to wait around anymore, especially now with Ethan who was here, he didn't want to let Lucy slip through his fingers once again.
"Are you angry at for hitting Samuel?" questioned Theodore and Lucy frowned.
"I thought I would answer your question," said Theodore and this caught her attention. Slowly, she turned to face him. A small frown ca to settle on her forehead because she didn't rember asking him any question now. "It is a question that you asked years ago. I don't want to let you go."
Hearing this, Lucy gulped and then stared hard at him, "You are quite late, Advisor Theodore. Like you said before it has been many years and in those years, people move on," she gritted her teeth and turned to reach for the door.
But Theodore placed his hand on the door so that she wouldn't leave. "Can you truly say that you don't feel a pinch of what you felt before?"
Lucy stared at the wooden door. Her heart thudding loudly, "What are you trying to get to? Maybe you do have a bad mory, but it was you who didn't want . It was you who didn't listen to a word and instead told to marry Samuel. You don't have to pity now."
"Who spoke anything about pity," replied Theodore.
"If that is all you wanted to speak, I should take my leave now," said Lucy, pulling the door knob and the door slightly opened before it was shut close.
Theodore could hear every beat of Lucy's heart and even though her lips denied how she felt about him, he knew the truth. "I want to nd my errors with you. I know you never loved Samuel and your relationship had started to dissipate from a few years. I apologise for not informing you about what I knew."
Lucy shook her head. She whispered, "I hate you, Theodore."
"I know. I am glad you do," he replied, his head moved closer to hers. He was glad that she held sothing about him.
Her hand shook, her eyes about to start filling up with tears as the emotions she had blocked within herself all these years started to co out. "You hurt when I needed you. It isn't that easy," she said, closing her eyes.
"I had my reasons," Lucy heard Theodore's words.
Lucy nodded her head, "I know. I know you had your reasons, but you could have told it to back then. But it doesn't matter anymore now." Staying close to Theodore was harmful to her heart. She had to quickly run away from here before she would be caught in the web.
Theodore placed his other hand on the other side of Lucy, trapping her between his hands and in front of the door.
Lucy might have been angry at Theodore but she was still weak to his actions and the barrier she had placed between them had started to crumble. "Looks like you don't care about your head anymore."
To this, Theodore replied, "What's there to care about when I don't have my heart with ."
