The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1402

Theo's gaze abruptly turned icy. He directly stared at Sophia with a gaze filled with displeasure.

Sophia had never encountered such a cold gaze before. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, looking pale and seemingly harmless, his gaze still sent chills down her spine.

He said seriously, "I think her growing up in the countryside is to her advantage. I don’t care about your so-called 'unable to mingle with the upper class' ideals. I know how outstanding she is. The fact that she's into me is already a huge blessing to me. I don't need a woman to validate my identity. Where she comes from, what her background is, none of that matters. What matters is that I love her."

I love her...

Theo uttered the last sentence with conviction. Sophia's face turned extremely unsightly, and she gritted her teeth. "Theo, why can't you understand..."

Impatience flashed in Theo's eyes as he interrupted her. "I understand now. I understand why you initially offered to help me. You claimed to be a friend helping me, but you've had ulterior motives from the start and never really intended to call off our engagement. Now, any gratitude I had for you has vanished. Don't make me detest you."

After hearing the word 'detest,' Sophia felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife. The man she had been secretly in love with for nearly a decade just said he would detest her.

Her painstaking expression of love was met with his disgust and revulsion. How could she not be heartbroken?

Sophia's face stiffened for a long while, then her lips twitched, and she let out a bitter laugh. "Theo, I'm sorry for disappointing you. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
