The Billionaire’s Unexpected Treasure

Chapter 273 Lost in the Forest



“Go ahead and ask.”

Flora took two steps forward before saying.

“I … Flora, I want to ask, if … if Clayton had not appeared in the first place, would you like me?”

Theo brewed for a long time before finally having the courage to speak, this is the question he has always wanted to ask, he looked at Flora’s back, in fact, even if she does not answer, Theo himself almost can guess, but this is how they kind of people, not to the yellow river heart is not dead, treat love is the same.

“No, Theo we grew up from childhood, I have always treated you as a brother, I do not have a mother and father to protect, is that you have been like a brother to accompany me, these I know, I am also very grateful, but those are just affection, has nothing to do with love, and … ”

Flora finished suddenly paused, she looked up and Theo stared, a long time before continuing to speak, “Theo, you cover your heart and ask yourself a question, who is the person you love in your heart? Is she me?”

Flora’s straightforward torture of the soul caused Theo to freeze, and he subconsciously covered his heart, not understanding why Flora was asking him this question.

Was it Flora he loved?

They grew up together, and there was hardly any other girl around him except Flora. At that time they were both very young, and when he saw Flora being bullied by other children, he would always be the first to rush up to protect her.

He secretly decided to take care of Flora for the rest of his life, probably in the third grade, Grace suddenly Flora and grandmother’s home, Flora has been abused before is a child without parents, so when Flora saw Grace heart is very happy, she ran to Grace’s side to call her mother, but was kicked to the ground by Grace.

That scene just happened to be seen by himself, at that time he felt Flora special heartache, so over time to protect Flora became his habit, and then they slowly grew up, contact with many new things, including love.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

And he took it for granted that he was a kind of love for Flora, until now.

“Am I … not?”

Theo thought for a long time, and he looked at Flora skeptically.

“If it is, then why do you ask me this question back with a skeptical face. I know that since I was little you have always been around to protect me because you were afraid of others bullying me, but this is not love, this is just a habit of yours because I am the only girl around you, in fact, you boy think about what one thing you have done to me that did not come from a brother’s protection of his sister?”

Flora looked at Theo again, she always knew Theo’s feelings for herself, but she knew in her heart that it was not love, only that he himself was not clear at all, she thought that Theo would understand after time, but she did not expect Theo to be so stubborn and even deep in it.

“Is that so?”

Theo asked himself, covering his heart.

He did not want Flora to be bullied by others and wanted to be by her side to take care of him for the rest of his life, was this emotion really not love?

Theo is now deep in confusion, he only feels like he has a fog gathering in front of him, as long as he can set it aside, it will be immediately clear.

“If you can’t figure it out, then I’ll ask you another question, if you together your feelings for me are love, then how did you feel when I first married Clayton. On the contrary if suddenly someone in front of you now says he loves Zoey and wants to take Zoey away, what would be your state of mind.”

Flora’s questions once again straight to Theo’s mind, Theo stood stunned in place, Flora’s series of questions, asked him dumbfounded, he could not think of any words to answer.

He tried hard to think about when he learned that Flora married Clayton, he was very sad, even unbelievable, but did not have the courage to ask Flora or to confront Clayton, he just felt very hard in his heart, as if he had been carefully protected by the flower, was picked away.

But facing Zoey, the girl he had not been too fond of earlier, when he knew that Jacob also had feelings for Zoey, he was very angry, he felt that someone was grabbing something from him, and that something was the deepest part of his heart simply would not let go of, and even heard Jacob told himself to stay away from Zoey, not allowed to get close to Zoey, he felt that everything in him He had nothing left, and at that moment he wanted to find Jacob in a desperate mood.

He never knew that Zoey had such an important place in his heart.

Is this what love is?

Theo seems to have grabbed a center of gravity, he is no longer like before, as if a floating weed, constantly drifting, do not know what place is he can stop.

“Do you understand now?”

Flora looked at Theo, she also hoped that through today’s conversation, she could wake Theo up completely and make him realize clearly who he really loved.

She glanced at Theo, Zoey had now been scattered with them for almost an hour, and now they had walked a not too short distance, but never saw Zoey’s figure, Flora could not help but worry in her heart.

She looked at her wrist watch and hurried to catch up.

Zoey kept walking along the stone road, she never knew there was such a nice place near A city, where a lot of original plants grow, even fruit trees are present.

She was so excited to play that she forgot to wait for Flora and Theo for a while. She kept walking forward and occasionally a few crisp bird calls came from the woods, and she was never more relaxed than when she kept taking pictures with her camera.

I don’t know how long it took, but when she finally felt tired, she stopped to take a break. She thought Flora and Theo were almost ready to follow, but she looked back around and she realized that there was no road around her at all, and she had strayed off the rocky path long ago in order to photograph the scenery.

Suddenly, Zoey felt an unprecedented wave of fear, she was terrified, but at this time she no longer dared to run around, but to stay where she was.

She took out her cell phone to call Flora, only to find that there was almost no signal in the mountain and she couldn’t make a call.

“Flora… Theo… where are you guys?”

Zoey shouted out into the mountain, but in addition to her echo and a few frightened birds flying, she could no longer hear any response.

She wanted to go back the way she came, but the trees around her were all the same, and she didn’t know what the way she came was like. She looked around in fear and sat helplessly on a rock, hugging herself tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes to prevent herself from crying.

She did not know if Flora had found her missing now, and could only stay where she was alone and did not dare to go anywhere.
