PopularNovelChapter 419:
When Elyse spotted Theo, she was certain she had recognized the right person from her position onstage.
Indeed, Theo had cto see her performance.
Rushing towards Elyse, Theo clutched a bunch of flowers. Breathing a sigh of relief, he exclaimed, “Thank God
you're still here!”
He handed the flowers to Elyse, complimenting her, “Your performance was flawless. | hope you can make it to
your next round.”
Elyse gazed at the flowers, momentarily lost in thought. They were pinkish-purple bluebells, her favorite.
Before their breakup, Elyse had always wished Theo would surprise her with bluebells.
However, when she shared this desire with Theo, he had only laughed. “You, onstage? That's just a daydream.”
At that time, Elyse couldn't pinpoint her feelings: she felt a mix of confusion, sadness, and profound
disappointment.
Years had passed since then. Reflecting on those times today, Elyse realized she no longer clung to those old

“Theo, it must be hard for you to remember this,” she said, diverting her gaze and looking up at Theo with a
detached expression.
Theo was ecstatic. He knew that Elyse hadn't forgotten. She still remembered their shared past.

Unable to contain his excitement, Theo blurted out, “I knew you'd love them! The flowers arrived fresh this
morning. They're at their most beautiful, just like you.”
Elyse’s lips twitched into a smile. “Thank you. | do like them, but | can’t accept them.”
Theo's smile froze. Struggling to keep his composure, he said, “I didn’t offer them as your ex-boyfriend, but as
an admirer. | love the fiddle music you play.”
Elyse pursed her lips and said, “Theo, haven't | made it clear | don’t want you getting too close?”
Theo's smile vanished, replaced by a steely look. “I understand. Do you still intend to reject me? I'm just
wondering how many times | have to be nice before | can win your heart.”
With a defiant sigh, Elyse looked up, her eyes conveying resignation. “You really should consider other options.
I'm not the only one for you. Anyone can replace me. You're just being stubborn.”
She did it again. How many times must she reject him before she could ease her frustration? Theo adjusted his
collar, trying to regain his composure. “Are you trying to provokeon purpose?”
Elyse remained silent. Where had her words fallen short, causing Theo to misunderstand her intentions?
Theo fixed her with a look that sent chills down her spine and said, “I hope you understand that my patience is
thin. Love doesn’t give you the right to repeatedly hurt me.”
Struck dumb, Elyse managed to ask, “How have | hurt you? Does turning you down mean I'm trampling over
your feelings? Theo, can you stop being so unreasonable?”
Had she made herself clear? She was married to Jayden and wouldn't entertain the advances of another man.
Yet Theo appeared completely out of control, convinced they still had a chance together.
Elyse balled her hands into fists, fighting the urge to shake ssense into him.

Theo's expression turned stormy, his gaze growing wild, which only made Elyse more anxious.
Noticing his darkening look, Elyse’s instinct was to flee, but before she could, Theo caught her.
He held her close and buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply as if trying to capture her essence.
Terrified, Elyse screamed, “Letgo!”
Theo tightened his grip, refusing to release her. “It's been so long since | last held you. You still smell as
wonderful, Elyse. If | had known, | never would have left you at the altar.”
The memory of being abandoned on her wedding day still pierced Elyse’s heart like a shard of glass.
She vividly recalled the disgrace Theo had inflicted upon her. Was she about to let him demean her once more?
Absolutely not! Under no circumstances! Definitely not!
In a silent cry of defiance, Elyse stomped down hard on Theo's foot with her high heel.
Theo yelped in pain and instinctively shoved her away.
Elyse stumbled backward, nearly toppling to the floor.
