I could not help but almost swear at him. It was said that it was hateful when a woman was being unreasonable, but it was the same for men.
Previously, he would always complain that I was being unreasonable whenever I was unhappy. I was in a good mood today, so I did not kick up a fuss about it with him. However, he was now complaining because I was not angry at him.
I put down the bowl of noodles and spoke slowly, "So, d o you think that I should be mad at you and make a scene?"
"You should be mad at me, but you shouldn't kick up a fuss." He looked serious and acted like he had every right to be behaving this way.
"Theo Grant, don't you feel ashamed?" I picked up the pillow behind me and threw it at him. "Fine. I'm angry now. You have to sleep outside."
After I spoke, I covered myself with the blanket to sleep.
"No way. Even if one of us is mad, we still have to sleep together." He shamelessly squeezed onto the bed and wrapped his arms around me again.
I pursed my lips and ignored him. There was nothing I
could say that would get through to him.
After a while, his phone rang again. He stood up and answered the phone. His voice was cold. "Cindy, why are you calling me at this hour?"
"Theowy, can you come over to keep me company? I'm scared to be alone at home." On the other line of the phone, I could hear Cindy's pitiful sobs.
I did not expect that Theo would press on the speakerphone.
Did Cindy not follow Petra back to their house? Why was she alone again?
"Call Zedd. Wanda is pregnant and she’s in a bad mood. I have to keep her company at home every night." His voice was calm.
After he said that, he did not wait for Cindy to reply. H e hung up the call and switched off his phone.
"I’m not in a bad mood and I don't need you to keep m y company!” I said angrily.
I knew if I continued to speak, something bad would happen. Hence, I might as well shut up and pretend to sleep right away.
