TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE, VOLUME 3 - Season 4 Episode 93

Theodore shook his head and laughed when he saw her anxious appearance.

“When you wanted to leave the ‘underworld’ that year, the person you couldn’t let go of was your husband Timothy, correct?”

Although she never mentioned her love life with him at that time, she would occasionally sit on the rooftop and stare blankly in the same direction for a long time.

The direction she looked at was none other than that of Capital City.

It was difficult for a person to hide their longing for something or someone regardless of how much they tried to do so. A person like Theodore would be all the more capable of noticing that.

Samantha was stunned for a moment and nodded. “Yes.”

It was not a lie, because she did love Timothy back then.

Theodore looked intently at her and his gaze became a little sharper. “What about now?”

“What?” Samantha could not react in time when he asked that out of the blue.

Theodore repeated his question. “What about now? Are you still in love with your husband Timothy?”

Samantha pursed her lips lightly.

Everything that happened between her and Timothy was already public knowledge, but that was probably why Theodore would still ask her that.

Samantha did not want to discuss her relationship issues with him because it was a little odd to do so. Moreover, she did not understand her feelings either and was thus unable to have a correct answer to that question.

She thought for a while and replied, “Why are you asking that, Sir? Timothy is my husband so of course I…I love him. I wouldn’t be so concerned about him otherwise.”

As soon as she said that, Theodore poked a hole in her argument without any hesitation. “You’re lying.”

Samantha was briefly lost for words.

It should not come as a surprise that he would know that, since she and her master were too familiar with each other and knew each other too well.

Moreover, her master was a very skilled psychologist too. If she could hide it from him that easily, he would not have been revered by so many people.

Theodore poured a cup of tea for himself and blew gently on the tea leaves floating inside before taking a sip.

His tone softened and he said, “Sammy, since you’re asking me to be your trusted adviser, you have to be honest with me. It’s not that I’m a gossipmonger who wants to dig the details of your love life, but…”

His expression became slightly more serious, “…because a person only has a personality split due to some kind of severe injury. In other words, he has to have experienced a period of extreme vulnerability where others would have the opportunity to take advantage of him.”

“This principle works both ways. If you want to reawaken Timothy’s main personality, you can always inflict extremely serious trauma on the second personality so he’ll be vulnerable for a certain period.”

Samantha immediately felt a headache coming on.

Timothy’s second personality was almost invulnerable. He had a strong fighting instinct, invincible bodyguards, was emotionally heartless, and had a very dark personality.

Samantha then remembered Rochelle’s attempt to kill Timothy. Three years ago, when Rochelle found out that Timothy had killed Samantha, she wanted to avenge Samantha by putting a bullet in Timothy’s head.

At that time, Rochelle said that Timothy did not even flinch, let alone look shocked.

How could a person like that suffer any form of trauma and have times of vulnerability?

The possibility of that happening was zero because it was utterly impossible!

However, Samantha keenly picked out the phrase ‘you can always’ in Theodore’s sentences, suggesting that there was probably another way!

Samantha looked at Theodore eagerly. “Could there be another way, Sir?”

Theodore could not help smiling as he said, “You’re a smart girl.”

“Sir, please, don’t keep me in suspense anymore. Just tell me.” Samantha’s expression was that of someone yearning for an answer.

Theodore said, “You can also…let him fall in love with you.”

His answer left Samantha dumbfounded.

“It’s only when he falls in love with you that he’ll let his guard down with you. You can then easily influence his heart and mind. You’ll get the opportunity to reawaken his main personality when he’s at his most relaxed.”

Love… It was always the greatest possibility and the strongest variable.

Samantha placed her hand on her forehead.

The second method seemed to be just as difficult as the first!

It was as if God was deliberately making things difficult for her, rather than just putting her to the test.

Holding on to her last shred of hope, she asked weakly, “Sir, would someone as ingenious as yourself have a…third method, perhaps?”

Theodore glanced at her and said without mercy, “None.”

“Maybe you can think of one?”

Theodore replied coldly, “You should ask someone else then.”

Samantha’s mood felt a little crushed.

She found a way alright, but why did it have to be that difficult?

Theodore stretched out her hand and patted her lightly on the shoulder. “That’s enough moping, Sammy. You’re never the kind who admits defeat without trying. I believe in you.”

“Also, Timothy’s second personality is a typical anti-social personality. He doesn’t have a heart and lacks the feelings that a normal person would have. If you want to win him over, you must be very cautious and put in a lot of effort.”

“And let me give you a piece of advice: people like that are extremely sensitive. He’ll see through it if you play tricks with him. Once that happens, you’ll never be able to gain his trust, let alone make him fall in love with you.”

“You can only receive his sincerity by giving your own.”

In that case, did she have to put forth her genuine feelings to let Timothy fall in love with her? Where was she supposed to conjure up those feelings when her heart had gone cold?

Life was just too cruel…

Theodore ate this meal with relish while Samantha had lost her appetite.

At the end of the day, no one could understand the joys and sorrows of one’s life better than oneself!

Once they were done with the meal, Samantha drove Theodore back to the hotel.

After arriving there, Theodore unfastened his seat belt and said to Samantha, “I’ll be staying here for a while, Sammy. If you have any questions, please just come over and ask me.”

Samantha nodded, “Yes, Sir. I’ll definitely ask if I have any.”

Theodore smiled and patted her head before pushing the door open and getting out of the car. He waved at her and said, “Have a safe drive back.”

He watched as Samantha’s car gradually merged into traffic before turning around and walking into the hotel.

Theodore took the elevator upstairs and walked to his suite, where he swiped his keycard and walked in.

As soon as he entered the living room and looked up, he saw a slender figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window while looking at the scenery outside.

Theodore’s eyes fell on her and the woman turned around slowly.

…

Samantha drove back to the apartment.

After she entered, she discovered that Rochelle had already arrived. Rochelle was lying curled up on the sofa and was busy playing a game on her cell phone. The game appeared quite intense as Rochelle was screaming.

She cheered when she won but cursed a couple of times when she lost.

Samantha was in low spirits and walked over very depressingly. She sat on the sofa and stretched out her hand to hug Rochelle.

Rochelle was stunned for a moment and immediately threw her phone away while asking softly, “What’s wrong, Babe?”

Samantha recounted the entire conversation she had with Theodore.

“Scumbags like him bring big trouble, just as expected!” Rochelle complained unceremoniously. “Whether it’s his main personality, his rotten second personality, or his best bud Jonathan, they’re all the worst of the worst! None of them ever spared us any trouble!”

Samantha could not help but feel amused again.

Whenever Rochelle scolded someone, she would always drag Jonathan’s name into it.

She knew that the divorce between Rochelle and Jonathan went very badly, which was what caused her to be so irritable every day, like a walking barrel of gunpowder.

Samantha immediately had to comfort Rochelle too.

After a while, the two of them calmed down and Samantha said, “I’ve already figured out how to go about it, Chelle.”

Rochelle listened attentively. “How?”

Samantha’s eyes narrowed and she explained clearly, “I don’t have that much time to start a relationship all over again with Timothy’s second personality. Doing that requires a lot of time, and what I want….”
