Chapter 2156

The entire room fell silent.

Bonnie furrowed her brows and shot Theo an exasperated glare.

She knew that Theo was acting impulsively because of his overconsuming guilt toward Roanne, that
this was his way of compensating for Roanne’s tragic death, but Rachel had been the love of his life
before this!

How could he say something so hurtful in front of her? Even if he did not want to be with Rachel
anymore in the future, it did not give him the green light to treat her like this.

As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie exhaled and lifted her head to stare at Theo coldly. You don’t
think she has anything to do with this? Can you guarantee that you won’t regret what you said today?

“If you can guarantee that, then I’ll let you do whatever you want, including marrying a dead girl that
you won’t be able to bring home to your parents. I don’t care whatever you do!

“If you can’t guarantee that you won’t regret your decision in the future, you should take back what you
just said!

“There are other ways of compensating for Roanne’s death, like helping her track down her birth
parents so that she can at least rest in peace knowing she has a family, but instead, you choose to do it
in the most destructive way for both you and the people around you!” Bonnie’s tone was so stern and
solemn that Theo stiffened upon hearing this.

He furrowed his brows and was about to say something, but in the end, he changed his mind and
remained silent.



Seeing that Theo did not reply, Bonnie immediately understood that he was not entirely gone; his
rationality was intact. As long as…

“What’s going on? You chickened out?”

All of a sudden, Rachel stood up and stared coldly at Theo.

“Judging by how determined you were, I thought you’d stand by your promise of marrying that dead
girl, so why are you hesitating now?.

“Do you somehow think that I’d still accept you if you came running back to me even after all this? Well,
let me tell you this, Theo: I’ll never take you back.”

She curled her lips into a smile continued, “Never. Everyone has always thought I’m eccentric, Theo,
and you yourself know that, but the fact is, I’m just someone who sticks to her word, no matter how
hard it is.

“Let me tell you this one last time, Theo: there’s no way we’d ever be together anymore.”

Then, she dangled her phone in front of them and added, “My fiance is coming to fetch me soon, and
I’m going to leave now. Meanwhile, I wish you and your dead wife nothing but the best and that you’ll
live happily ever after. Goodbye.”

Then, she turned and strode away. Theo remained motionless, staring at Rachel’s retreating figure, the
light dissipating from his gaze.

Bonnie furrowed her brows and nudged him.

“Go get her back!”

“It’s too late now,” Theo muttered.



“The moment she makes up her mind…there’s no turning back.”

Then, he turned to stare at the civil rights officer, who was still frozen in shock.

“Is there really no way to legally marry Roanne and me?” The officer said with a pained expression,
“Sir… I really can’t help you. If you really want to, maybe you can…you can host a ceremony to bind
your souls together and feel like you’re truly married?”

Theo sighed and was about to say something in reply when Harvey, who had been silent all this while,
sprinted over to them.
