"You!" Shannon’s face was red with anger." You're simply despicable.”
Theo raised his eyebrows. "You got a problem with that?"
Shannon raged. "Can you not be so petty? It's just one night. Besides, it's not like I'm going to devour your wife."
"She'll die if I leave," Theo faintly said.
Shannon,"..."
She glared viciously at Theo and turned around to enter her own room.
I looked at Theo. "She probably just wants to have a chat."
Shannon might seem loud and open, usually caring about nothing. However, she was actually very vulnerable and insecure on the inside.
Theo gently sighed. "Go spoil her, then."
He cupped my face and planted a kiss, reminding me, "Don’t stay up too late talking. Go to bed early."
Seeing that he had agreed, I smiled and praised him generously, "You're the best, Theo."
Theo smiled slightly. "If you know that, then you’ll be more obedient from now on.’
After saying that, he hinted at me to go to Shannon.
Shannon’s room door was not locked, so I was able to open it after giving it a gentle push.
The main color of the room was pink. The bedsheets and covers were also pink. making it very feminine.
Shannon was playing with her phone while lying on the bed. When she heard someone coming in, she thought it was the caretaker, so she said, "Don't worry about me. Go next door and see what our guests need."
I stood by the bed and smiled slightly. "I need you right now."
Shannon immediately sat up, looking at me with glistening eyes. "Your husband agreed to let you sleep with me?"
I nodded. "He wouldn't dare to disagree."
"Forget it." Shannon sneered. “You think I have no idea about your status in the family?"
Why must she embarrass me like that?
Must she expose me like that?
Shannon chuckled mischievously. "But seeing how you've challenged Theo's status in the family and came to accompany with no hesitation, I'll love you forever."
I burst out laughing. "More than Jordan?"
"Of course. His place in my heart will never exceed yours."
"Don't sound so confident, or you'll only embarrass yourself next time." I glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Go shower before going to bed."
Shannon leered at me and said, "I want to take a shower with you."
I gently hit her and said with a helpless face, "Stop messing around."
After pushing Shannon into the bathroom, I took out my phone from my pocket and sent Theo a text.
Me: [Have you taken a shower?]
Theo: [I wish to go back on my word. I can’t sleep without you.]
