He was tall and had blocked out most of the light.
I felt pressured and said a little impatiently, "It's all in the past now. There's nothing to say about it."
"What do you mean by there's nothing to say?"
Theo roared angrily. "Are you going to play me like a fool? Even if you don't like me, I'm still your husband now, aren't I? As your husband, don't I have the right t o know these things?"
I had never seen him behaving like this before, where his anger had reached the extreme. It was like he was about to break down at any moment.
After falling silent for a long time, I said in a hoarse voice, "You do."
Theo let go of me. I turned around and looked at the glistening river surface while saying slowly, "After leaving Whaldorf City, I first went to Zenon to visit the child. Later, I went to Riverbank City and found a job."
He listened quietly. Later, I told him everything that happened after I was taken away without any reservation.
Theo fell silent for a very long time after listening.
After the long silence, he looked at me and said, "I
won't stop you from doing the things you like, but you must know that you have a husband and shouldn't be with Jordan. If someone finds out about this, then you should know what kind of storm you'll stir."
Theo and I were husband and wife, so I certainly knew that I would start a wave of public opinion being with Jordan now.
