Chapter 228
Nathan had a stern face as he escorted Thea and Theo back home. Thea’s place of residence at that time was a valuable downtown detached house that Theo had purchased.
Nathan saw this expensive villa and felt a slight pang in his heart. He used to be the privileged prince of Capital, while Thea was just a beggar he had taken in. He believed that she should always be poorer than him for the rest of her life.
However, Thea has now managed to live a good life through her own efforts. Meanwhile, he has lost all his wealth and honors.
The reversal and disparity of this status made Nathan feel very uncomfortable.
Perhaps in an attempt to regain his dignity, Nathan tried to belittle Thea. “Is this the house you rented? The location is not bad, huh? It’s just a bit small.”
Theo retorted directly, “This is my sister’s own purchased house. It may be small, but it’s still better than some people living elsewhere.”
Nathan’s heart trembled a bit, he really didn’t expect that Thea could afford such a nice house on her own.
Thea used Nathan and then just wanted to dump him.
She carried the drunk Theo and walked towards home.
She casually said to Nathan, “Goodbye.”

Nathan watched as the two of them left, leaning against each other, his eyes darkening.
Just at that moment, Theo suddenly turned around and gave him a proud expression. He was truly a master of tea art.
Entering the room, Thea placed Theo on the sofa.
Theo, like a wronged little wife, looked at Thea with pleading eyes, scrutinizing her expression. “Sister, how could you be with him?”
Thea made a cup of sobering plum juice for Theo, and returned to his side, explaining, “On my way back home, I happened to run into him.”
Theo said, “Sister, he was not a good person, you should not associate with him in the future.”
Thea muttered, “If I wasn’t worried about you drinking, how could I have hurried back home and gotten on his car?”
The dark clouds in Theo’s eyes dispersed. “Sister, no matter where you are in the future, give me a call and I will come pick you up.”
Thea said, “You have been drinking, how can you drive?” Theo raised his hand and said, “From today onwards, I will quit drinking.”
Thea smiled and said, “Okay.”
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
But dark waves flowed.

In Theo’s heart, there was always a faint uneasiness. Whenever Thea mentioned Nathan, she always had a resentful expression.
When will she be able to mention Nathan calmly, indicating that she has let go of him?
On the other side.
Nathan returned home gloomily.
The car just stopped downstairs, he turned off the engine, sat in the driver’s seat, smoked one cigarette after another, but had no intention of going home.
For the first time, he felt lost in life.
He seemed to have lived his first half of life solely for Victoria. For Victoria, he fought against his own family, against his own marriage, against the whole world. In the end, he lost.
He used to never question whether he was worth it. But now, he has started pondering this question.
Is it worth it?
Victoria’s phone rang again and again, and finally, on the last ring, she answered the call.
Victoria cried on the phone like a child, “Nathan, why didn’t you answer my call? Sob sob sob, why didn’t you come home? Where have you been these past two days?”
“I am outside. I won’t be coming home tonight,” Nathan blurted
out.
Immediately, his heart plummeted into an endless abyss as he

unexpectedly developed feelings of estrangement and resistance towards the woman he had cared for his entire life.
How could this happen?
“Nathan, my stomach hurts so much, can you please come home right away?” Victoria sobbed, crying as helplessly as a child.
Nathan used to be most afraid of her tears. Whenever Victoria cried, he felt like his world was collapsing.
But now, although Nathan is nervous about Victoria’s condition, he still manages to barely maintain his composure.
He opened the monitoring software on his phone, and as the white screen faded away, the scene inside the room became clear: Victoria was wearing a silk pajama, sitting elegantly on the sofa, holding a tall glass and enjoying a delicious juice.
The other hand was swiping on the phone, scrolling through various vulgar plots. The nails, meticulously groomed, were shining with a devilishly enchanting glow.
There was no sign of her stomachache, let alone any appearance of her being heartbroken.
However, when Victoria spoke to Nathan, she deliberately twitched, her face contorted and twisted, performing her sadness with every cell.
But she didn’t shed a single tear.
Nathan’s pupils were as if someone had cast a spell on them, frozen in a trance–like state.
Chapter 228
Suddenly, a reminder of Isabella’s frustration and breakdown flashed in my mind. “Nathan, are you blind? Can’t you see. Victoria’s terrible acting and that she’s lying?”
“Victoria, it’s such a pity that you didn’t become an actress.”
Nathan’s body suddenly slumped down.
When the truth was revealed, his face hurt a lot.
At this moment, he had to believe that the dreams of The City of Cycles were all real.
Those were all things that had truly happened in his past life.
Isabella’s rebirth was real.
Victoria maliciously plotted against Isabella and caused the death of her daughter Kassidy, all of which is true.
And this accomplice of his, in order to protect Victoria’s fragile heart, repeatedly pushed the kind and resilient Isabella to the brink of suicide, which is true.
Nathan hung up the phone, holding his head, and tears of regret streamed down his face in agony.
“Nathan, they were right, you were fucking love–struck. You couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, and you killed your precious daughter, drove your wife to her death… and even burdened your own mother…”
“How could you be so foolish, mistaking a wolf in sheep’s clothing and treating her like a precious treasure. You truly are blind in your eyes and blind in your heart… You are the biggest fool in the world, Isabella was absolutely right to scold you.”

“Nathan, Isabella hated you rightfully. She used to trust you so much, love you so deeply, and defend your dignity. And what did you do? You actually sided with Victoria, that venomous woman, and caused the death of Isabella’s beloved daughter. Isabella wouldn’t hesitate to stab you a few times…”
“Wuwuwu…” Nathan wailed in pain.
“Nathan, what was so good about Victoria?”
“Is it worth sacrificing so much for her like this?”
Nathan drove the car and turned his head into the darkness of the night.
Victoria stared at her phone, dumbfounded, as it continued to emit a busy tone..
This was the first time Nathan hung up on her phone call.
She did not give up and repeatedly called Nathan. However, Nathan never answered her calls.
