Chapter 40 Wait for Me
Cecilia witnessed the radiant smile on Theo’s face, and caught a glimpse of Luke who was feigning to tidy his clothes. In that moment, she knew that Theo had already known the
truth
“You look so happy” Cecilia decided to play ignorant She yearned to see how Theo
would handle the situation.
Theo maintained his enigmatic smile, his eyes fixated on her with adoration Cecilia turned her face away, the awkwardness causing her to cough lightly. Suddenly, she felt
herself and her child fell into a warm embrace.
Theo’s voice sounded from above “Ceci, I knew it all along The truth was never as you
presented You’ve been deceiving me from the very start”
Cecilia pursed her lips How could he remain so happy after knowing himself being
deceived?
Luke had long departed, realizing his presence was no longer suitable Now that the
child was safe, Theo took both them back home
On their way home, Cecilia revealed the truth to Theo Shortly after Luke rescued her, she discovered her pregnancy. It was the child who ignited her will to live Regardless of the immense pain and sorrow she endured, she found the strength to persist for the sake of her
child
Lost in these thoughts, Cecilia instinctively held Jace closer, feeling a surge of warmth and tenderness Jace had been slumbering peacefully, his cheeks gradually turned rosy.
Cecilia confessed to Theo that she truly didn’t want to return to Grythwill I know you genuinely want to repent, and I have forgiven you But I just want to stay here I don’t want to go back to Grythwill” There were too many memories in Grythwill that she didn’t want to
revisit
time
Theo nodded slightly, understanding that he was the source of her unhappiness at that
“I just want to live a simple, ordinary life now. You should go back. This place is never meant for you.” Cecilia didn’t finish her sentence. Theo was the heir of Heimann family, and she knew it was impossible for him to give up everything and stay with her here.
Theo held her hand. “Wait for me, I will come back!” He made a promise, with a serious and sincere expression. Cecilia nodded
Subsequently, Theo returned to Grythwill. When Cecilia learned of his leaving, she felt a tinge of disappointment. She had thought he would stay However, she quickly laughed at herself, realizing she shouldn’t have held such high expectations. After all, without expectations, there wouldn’t be as much disappointment

Since Theo’s departure, Cecilia struggled to adapt to a life without his presence. Even
simple tasks like going to the supermarket would remind her of the times when Theo used to accompany them. It was during those moments that Cecilia truly understood the word
“miss“.
When she held her child, she would feel the same way, wondering what Theo was doing at that moment and if he ever thought of them, Fortunately, after Theo left, Luke had been
by her side like a friend, providing whatever help he could.
