"Do you pity him?" Theo was rather unhappy. "It's not like I don't pay him.”
I pouted and said, "Although you pay him, that doesn't mean that you can take advantage of him like that."
Theo narrowed his eyes and curled his finger in my direction. "Come over."
I walked over and asked him with an ambiguous smile on my face, "Are you unhappy because I'm taking Keith's side?"
"Of course, I'm not unhappy because you're speaking up for Keith." Theo hugged my waist and spoke in an aggrieved tone, "I don't like seeing you with Matthew.
Besides, I'm not sure what your feelings toward him are. That’s why I'm extremely upset." Theo had really changed a lot. Previously, he had never expressed his emotions in front of me.
I placed my hand on his neck and comforted him. "Don't worry. I'm just friends with him. We won’t have any other relationship besides that."
Theo was satisfied after seeing the serious expression on my face.
He placed his hand on the back of my head and pressed my head down. He then kissed me on the mouth.
It was getting late. We should sleep.
After lying down, Theo got slightly excited. However, he had no choice but to restrain himself given his arm injury.
I was way too sleepy. I fell asleep not long
after.
Due to Theo's arm injury, it was not convenient for him to do things on his own.
Before sleeping, I planned to wake up earlier in the morning so that I could help him brush his teeth. However, when I woke up, Theo was already awake.
I immediately got up from the bed after hearing sounds coming from the bathroom.
Theo was standing before the basin. He was trying to squeeze out some toothpaste with much difficulty.
Since he could not press it hard with his injured arm, his brows were furrowed up in a frown. He looked rather frustrated.
I found it extremely funny, so I walked over and took the tube of toothpaste from his hands. "I told you that you've injured your arm. You should’ve asked me to help you with such tasks."
Theo hugged my waist as his brows smoothened out. "Did I wake you?"
