Chapter 817:

He then playfully chided her in a light-hearted manner, “If only you hadn't been so genuine and devoted in our

own affair, moving on and finding someone new wouldn't have been so challenging.”

Elyse chuckled in response, retorting, “So, it's my fault for being too sincere?”

Theo chuckled too, but he bowed his head to hide his red eyes as he fought back the wave of emotions surging

Theo realized there indeed was a woman in this world capable of loving him with her entire heart and soul. With

her, he didn’t need to strategize, tally scores, or engage in any intense manipulations. With her, he could simply

Theo hesitated, about to confess his lack of appetite, but Elyse insisted warmly, “You are the one askingout

ever since,” Theo confessed openly.

Elyse shook her head gently. “You're overthinking it. | don’t need any compensation from you. Don’t burden

yourself with that thought.”

Theo responded with a wistful smile, then bowed his head and continued eating.

After finishing the main course, Elyse indulged in her dessert and then posed a question. “So, when will you tell
