I came home exhausted and did not want to prepare dinner anymore. Hence, I got takeout.
When Nicky and Theo got home, I had just served up the takeout.
"I see you’re smarter today and ordered dinner." Nicky glanced at me, her tone contemptuous.
Today's orders were all Theo's favorite foods. Nicky did not eat some of them and looked disgusted. "This meat is too unpalatable."
I looked at her, then turned to Theo and smiled slightly. "Yes, but this dish is Th… the sir’s favorite."
Nicky turned to him. "What one liked before isn’t necessarily what one likes now. Isn’t that right, Theo?"
Theo's hand that was reaching toward the dish suddenly paused before he retracted it. He replied softly, "Yes."
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. Nicky also looked toward me, her attitude smug. It chilled me even more.
After finally finishing dinner, Theo went straight upstairs while Nicky leisurely took out a tissue and wiped her mouth gracefully.
She really thought of herself as a noble lady.
"Did you see that, Wanda? Theo will stop eating the food he used to like for me. Slowly, he’ll become a brand new Theo and will no longer go back to who he was. Why waste your time here?”
I was wondering why she was not going upstairs. It turned out it was because she wanted to advise me to leave.
I packed up the tableware, my lips slightly hooked. "A leopard will not lose its spots. That preference will not be easily changed."
I said that in a low voice, but it made Nicky laugh.
She shook her head and looked at me with sympathy in her eyes. "Seriously, Wanda. I do quite admire you. If I were you, I would’ve left long ago so that I wouldn't have to suffer here. Alright then. If you don’t want to leave, then I won't force you. I just hope you don’t get driven to the ground from anger."
This meant that she had something else planned.
Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the evening, the media broke some shocking news.
