Chapter 23: Ruthless And Heartless

Danica had no desire to confront Theo's violent rage.She had already made it clear, so she turned
around and left.

Theo's eyes were blazing with anger that he pulled her back and pressed her against the car.

The distance between them was extremely close and they could smell each other.

When their gazes met, Theo noticed that his breathing became erratic and his heart hammered inside
his chest.

His gaze stroked each of Danica’s features.

Every detail was flawless and graceful, making it pleasing to the eye.She applied makeup today, and
her slender eyeliner had raised the ends of her eyes, adding a different kind of charm to her.

Theo had no idea what was wrong with him.

He disliked her during their marriage and was even disgusted with her because of the despicable
methods she used to plot against him.

Who knew that after a year of divorce, he would find her charming and pleasant like now? It was weird.

Danica's brows were slightly knitted with impatience, but she was steady and calm as compared to
Theo.

"What are you doing, Sir Dalton? Are you playing with your ex-wife?"

Her taunting voice instantly snapped Theo back to reality.

He suppressed the odd feeling inside him as he opened the car door and shoved her into the
passenger seat.



"Get in the car!"

Danica could no longer resist.She put on the seat belt and stared outside the window.

He was still overbearing and unreasonable as ever, unconcerned about her feelings.

Theo grabbed a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator in the car and passed it to Danica.

"You should apply this on your burnt arm” Danica accepted it, "Thank you"

Theo started the car and drove away.

Neither of them spoke throughout the entire ride.

When the car halted at a red light, Theo turned to Danica, just in time to see her staring at the burns on
her arm.

Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

He couldn't help but wonder if she was frowning in pain, so he asked, "Does it hurt?"

Theo was taken aback.

When did he become so concerned? He then comforted himself.His sister inflicted the injury on her
arm, so it was only natural for him to be concerned.

Danica's frown deepened upon hearing him concerned.

The physical pain she felt was nothing compared to the bone-deep heartache he had inflicted on her.

She was now staring blankly at her wrist because she felt annoyed that she was in the same car with
Theo.



She was furious for not forcing herself to take a taxi to the hospital.

"It's okay" Danica responded.

Then, the green light turned on and Theo concentrated on driving.

He asked again after driving, "You know Mr.Frost?"

Edmund was a great scriptwriter, and Theo had no choice but to address him with esteem.

Edmund was concerned about Danica, making it obvious that the two were familiar with each other.

Theo was surprised because he had never known that they knew each other.

"Yes” Danica answered with hesitation.

She didn't want to talk to Theo, and their relationship was never that close.

Danica prayed that Theo would shut up but the brute continued asking, "How did you know him?"

Danica pursed her lips and simply closed her mouth.

The last time they met at Shaw Stewarts Films, he could've asked what she had been up to but he
didn't because he didn't care.

He was heartless.
