The mistake began when Theo swapped our DNA reports. He swapped Cindy and my DNA reports, as well as our fate. My baby and my life were ruined. He should be the one I hate the most.
However, I could not bring myself to hate him. That was why I was in so much pain.
Seeing that I was silent, Cassey opened up to me. "I hate Petra's guts. She’s a woman who would bring disaster to our family. It’s good for a woman to have ambition, but too much ambition will only cause harm to oneself and others, which is why I wanted to chase her away the day she stepped into the Louises. But..."
She sighed. "My brother is hopelessly in love with her, so even if I chase her out, they'll not separate. Not everything in this world will go according to our wishes. There are too many inevitable elements.
Theo's selfishness caused you to lose too many things, but he loves you and you love him too. You can't leave each other, and that's inevitable too. Your only choice i s to let go of the past grudges and move on."
Inevitable.
I was a little dazed. Was life always so full of inevitability?
After a long time, I raised my head and looked at her." Have you had lunch?”
The subject seemed to have changed so fast that she froze for a moment. "No."
I got up. “Let's have something to eat together."
Cassey’s words did resonate with me, so I had to thank her no matter what.
I went to the kitchen to see what raw ingredients I had available. I planned to make a few simple dishes.
However, nothing went into my head. My mind was full of thoughts on whether I should visit Theo or not.
If what Cassey said was true about him punishing himself in order to redeem himself, he must be feeling guilty right now and might not be able to face me at the moment.
After thinking about it this way, I gave up the thought of visiting Theo.
I did not sleep last night. After reading for a while, I felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa.
I was awoken by the ringtone of my phone. I took my phone and saw that it was a call from Liz.
I was not surprised because I received a text from her the day before yesterday in the lounge of Grant Corporation's president office. I did not text back. I knew at the time that she would certainly contact me again if I did not respond to her text.
