Cindy's expression stiffened.
Cally tugged on Shannon’s arm. "Should we both go to the cafe across the street and buy a glass of Bitches' Brew for this lady?"
"I think that's a great idea.”
The two then insinuated a bit more.
Cindy's expression turned sullen. She was angry yet could not say anything, hence she felt tremendously aggrieved.
My mood was better, but I still felt blue.
Although I knew clearly what Theo and Cindy's relationship was and that Theo merely treated Cindy as a sister and nothing else, I still felt very uncomfortable when I saw him taking care of Cindy.
Why are you daydreaming?” Theo's low and attractive voice sounded in my ear.
I pursed my lips. "It's nothing."
Theo smiled and took a sip of the juice in front of me.
It was nothing for us as a married couple to share a glass of juice, but he was clearly doing it on purpose. He drank mine even though Cindy had offered hers.
Shannon nodded with satisfaction and intentionally said with a smile, "You guys are so sweet. I don't even have the appetite to eat anymore after seeing how sweet you are. Can you be considerate of other people's feelings?"
Cally chuckled. "Is this your first time seeing how sweet they are?”
I looked at Cindy, curious to see her reaction.
Although she still had a smile on her face, her hand that was tightly squeezing the glass of juice showed just how furious she was.
I indifferently retracted my gaze. Perhaps one would never forget one's inability to capture a person's heart and it would become one's largest regret in life.
"It's indeed good, but it's a little too sweet. Don't drink so much because it’s not good for your teeth." Theo put down the juice after drinking it and commented with a smile.
I pursed my lips. "I don't drink juice very often and you know that. I only get to drink this once in a while, so why are you drinking mine?"
