NovelEnglishChapter 258:
Without any hesitation, Theo nodded, “Yes, | know what I'm talking about.” This response aggravated Zandra,
her breathing becoming heavy. She questioned, “You promised to marry Miss Jimenez. What made you change
your mind?”
Theo paused for a moment before responding casually, “I must confess, I'm in love with Elyse. She’s the one who
has my heart, and | can’t see myself with anyone else.”
Zandra, irked by his declaration, snapped back sharply, “You love Elyse Lloyd? If that were true, you wouldn't
have gotten involved with another woman. What's her name, Kaelyn Bennett, right?” She continued with
increased frustration, “If you really loved Elyse, why did you leave her on your wedding day for Kaelyn? My silly
son, do you even understand what you're doing?”
Theo opened his mouth but said nothing. He knew his mother was right; that was exactly how he had treated
Elyse before. He had neglected her, hurt her, and let her down tand again. And now he was facing the

realized sooner. But it’s only now that | truly understand how much | love her.”
Zandra snorted and commented dismissively, “Yes, it’s ridiculous. Elyse is now Jayden’s wife. You need to
apologize to Miss Jimenez, win her back, and make her fall for you again.”
Theo remained silent, meeting Zandra’s gaze quietly. Zandra, sensing his thoughts, slammed her hand on the
table again, insisting, “How many times do | need to tell you? Elyse is married. There's no future for you two.”
“She may be married, but she can get a divorce,” Theo said firmly. “Jayden is disabled. Elyse won't find
happiness with him. I'm the only one who can truly make her happy.”

Zandra’s eyes widened in shock at his words. “You abandoned Miss Jimenez to chase after a married woman? |
can’t believe you're my son. How foolish!”
Theo had made up his mind, deeply regretting how he saw Elyse being mistreated by Jayden.
Theo expressed his regret, realizing his love for her too late and pushing her into the arms of another man. “I will
personally visit Freda’s family and explain everything. As for Elyse, please don’t try to stop me, Mom. | am
serious about this,” he said firmly.
Zandra was outraged. She couldn't believe that her son would reject a single woman from a prestigious family in
favor of pursuing a married one. Zandra attempted to persuade him, saying, “Theo, you're too young to
understand what true love is. | doubt your feelings for Elyse are real; it seems more like a case of
possessiveness. Perhaps I've been too pushy about your dating life. Alright, | won't pressure you to find a
girlfriend anymore. Just take stto calm down.”
Zandra was about to leave, but Theo called out to her. “Mom, it’s you who doesn’t understand what love is,” he
said firmly.
Zandra froze, looking back in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Theo remained silent for a moment. Initially, he suspected his feelings were just possessive. Seeing Elyse quickly

his feelings were genuine, particularly when Elyse shared intimate details about her life with Jayden. Theo
becconsumed by jealousy whenever he heard Elyse speak fondly of Jayden, confirming his true feelings. He
understood he truly loved Elyse; her influence on his emotions was undeniable.
Looking earnestly into Zandra's eyes, Theo continued, “When | was in school, you askedto select my friends
based on their family backgrounds and characters, and | complied. You advisedto associate with wealthy
relatives and disregard the poorer ones, and | did just that. | picked my friends and acquaintances to meet your
expectations because you prioritized benefits above all, ignoring anyone who couldn't offer you any advantage.
But now | can’t marry just for financial interests.”
With a cold expression, Zandra responded sharply, “Don’t forget you cfrom a wealthy family. Financial
interests will never betray you.”
Theo smiled wryly, his eyes reflecting a deep sadness. “Exactly. That's why | treated her carelessly when we
dated. | knew she didn’t meet your standards and would never be approved as my wife. | ignored my love for
her, letting her bear the weight of my frustrations and disappointments.”
