Theo raised his eyebrows. "What seems to be the problem?”
Keith walked over and looked at Dazaray, saying indifferently, "I'll take you home, Ms. Dazaray.”
Dazaray still had questions to ask but Theo no longer had the patience to answer her questions, so he continued to pull me outside.
If I left with Theo just like that without saying anything, then I would be tacitly admitting to our relationship as husband and wife. He might pester me even more in the future.
Thinking of this, I looked at Dazaray and said, "We’re just acquaintances. I'm not his wife.”
As soon as I said that, Theo furrowed his brows and tightened his grip on my waist.
His deep gaze fell on my face as he asked faintly, "Just acquaintances?”
I nodded. "Yes, just acquaintances."
I felt a little dizzy and thought that it was probably from the wine I drank. I kept racking my brain to think of a way to get out of this predicament but could not think of anything.
When Dazaray heard that Theo and I were not married, her sullen expression eased up greatly. She looked at Theo and persuaded him, saying, "I can tell that you have feelings for Wanda, Mr. Grant, but it's inappropriate for the two of you to hang out alone at night. Besides, you don't know her that well either. I suggest you wait until you know her better before making a decision."
Why did those words sound so odd?
Was she trying to say that I was not that outstanding o f a person?
However, it did not matter what she was trying to say for now. The most important thing now was getting rid of Theo.
I gripped harder when I thought of that, trying to pull Theo’s hand away from my waist.
