Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2266

Chapter 2266

 The familiar voice had Rachel lift her head, only to realize Theo was blocking their way with his arms spread out.

He looked at Rachel coldly. 

“Dr. Liddell, since you’ve said that you hate people who lie, then I’m sure you won’t lie either. Am I right?”

Rachel furrowed her brows and looked at Theo helplessly. 

“Just say whatever you’re thinking of. There’s no need to twist and turn.”

Theo suddenly was speechless because of what Rachel said. He had imagined what reaction Rachel would have if he asked her, but he never expected her to be so direct.

He took a deep breath and squinted, asking, “I just want to ask you… You said you were thrilled to be engaged with Caleb. Is that true?”

This question had been like a curse that lingered in his mind after he eavesdropped on Rachel and Caleb talking about their engagement. He wanted to know what he and Caleb meant to Rachel respectively. 

‘Could she be so thrilled that she made mistakes in her work just because she got engaged with Caleb?’

Rachel was caught off guard by Theo’s question. She lifted her head and looked into Theo’s eyes with her clear eyes. She detected a vague hopeful glint, underlined by sadness and worry, and to this, she could not help but sneer inwardly.

 ‘He was so determined to reject me and chose to marry a dead body. What’s all this, asking me this question now?’ .

Rachel looked into Theo’s eyes without answering the question.

She was not good at lying. Very often in her daily work, she would not say any white lies like any other doctor when a patient had a chronic illness. To her, death was just the rule of the universe, and there was nothing to hide.

However…

She hesitated as she looked at Theo. If she followed her heart, then perhaps Theo would think that they still had a chance. If she lied, on the other hand, she would single-handedly break her principle.

Theo could tell that Rachel was hesitating, and his lips curled upward. Honestly speaking, even if Rachel did not answer the question, her silence explained everything. He took another deep breath and grabbed Rachel’s hand. 

“You can’t lie, can’t you?”
