V Chapter 4 

How can I betray Theo and help you if he didn’t let you go out?” 

“Matilda, you don’t understand our relationship well enough, just like how Theo helped me, whatever he wants to do, I will do my best to help him.” 

At that moment, I saw a hint of determination and seriousness in Skyla’s eyes. 

Maybe, I was really wrong. 

There was a trust between Theodore and Skyla that outsiders simply couldn’t penetrate. 

So, Theodore did not hesitate to sacrifice his wife and children in order to help his childhood 

sweetheart, who had grown up with him. 

Every day after Theodore came home, he would tell bedtime stories to the baby inside Skyla’s belly. 

When he knocked on my door, it was already past ten o’clock at night. 

I opened the door for him, and for a moment, there was silence. 

I turned around and lay back on the bed. Theodore’s eyes shimmered with tears, which he wiped 

away. 

The room I lived in was even worse than the nanny’s room at home. It could only accommodate a 

bed and didn’t even have a place to sit. 

All the rooms in the house were occupied by Skyla. 

One room was used as a children’s room for her child, one room was her piano practice room, and 

the rest were rooms specifically for her to store things. 

Even Theodore now lives with Skyla, making it convenient to take care of her. 

Theodore stood by the bed and silently took out a cigarette from his pocket. 

Just about to light up, I realized there was no window in the room. 

He was put back by him again. 

I became a little impatient and said, “What exactly do you want? I want to go to sleep.” 

Theodore’s eyes drooped, his tone carrying an imperceptible pain. 

“Matilda, do you really want to abort our child like this?” 

Do you really distrust my love for you like this?” 

This was the first time Theodore said he loved me.

But the present me. 

Ialready don’t know if this was his true feelings or just a means to deceive me into giving birth to 

the child. 

I closed my eyes and two clear tears streamed down my face, as if accepting my 

I would have the child born. 

“Give me back my phone, you know I don’t have anyone to contact.” 

Theodore held me in his arms, his tone revealing a hint of excitement. 

“Okay, I will do whatever you want. 

fate. 

The moment I got hold of the phone, the uneasiness that had plagued me for these days finally 

subsided. 

No one knew that the Kramer family, as a pawn in alliance with the Tanner family, had adopted a 

daughter. 

In fact, three years ago, I had already found my biological parents. 

But at that time, I didn’t go with them in order to marry Theodore. 

Although they were reluctant, they still respected my decision. 

But when they left, they gave me a phone number and said, “If one day in the future you are not happy, Mom and Dad will come to pick you up anytime.” 

I used to not keep this sentence in mind, but now, they are my only lifeline. 

After six months of Skyla’s pregnancy, she suggested going abroad to have the baby. 

Theodore had not intended to go so early. 

Skyla wouldn’t let him have peace of mind, and Theodore had no choice but to eventually give in 

When he left, he said to me, “Matilda, I will definitely come back to be with you before our child 

born.” 

“I know I went a bit too far this time, but once Skyla’s matter is resolved, I will definitely make it up to you twofold.” 

I nodded obediently to whatever he said. 

Theodore stared at me for a long time, and I didn’t know if he had figured something out. 

He slowly withdrew his gaze from me only when Skyla called him. 

When he left, Theodore walked slowly, and he turned back to look at me standing at the door once
