While messing around, we barely prepared the ingredients for the lasagna.
Theo rolled out the lasagne sheets while I stacked the sheets and meat. Soon, the lasagna for three was almost done.
After the lasagna was placed into the oven for quite a while, Theo's phone rang. He looked at it and said, "I'm going to take this call. I'll be right back. When it's done, you can go ahead and eat it first.”
As I looked at the cheese bubbling on the lasagna, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
If he had to go elsewhere to take the call, the only person who could be calling him was Cindy.
I could not help but gaze at the courtyard, only to see him leaning against the wall. He had one hand in his pocket and a soft look on his face as he chatted happily.
I felt even more uncomfortable. I could not control my emotions any longer. I reached out and knocked over the portion of lasagna that I had taken out of the oven onto the floor. The lasagna splattered all over the floor and made a loud noise.
I did it on purpose but I did not understand why I did
something so extreme.
Since it was loud, it shocked everyone. Miss Woods was close by and was the first to run over. When she looked at the mess, she asked worriedly, "Did you hurt yourself?"
At the same time, Theo came running in and wrapped his arms around me. He grabbed my hands and made sure they were okay. "Did you get hurt?"
"No." I drew back my hands and looked at the lasagna lying on the floor. I suddenly felt that everything was meaningless as I turned around and went upstairs.
"Young Master, you should take Young Mistress to the hospital. I think that she's been emotionally unstable lately. Do you think that she might have gotten sick?" Behind him came Miss Woods' lowered voice.
I froze. It was true that it had been increasingly harder to control my emotions recently.
Back in my bedroom, I closed the door and lay down o n the bed. I felt bad and did not understand what was going on with me. In the past, Theo had treated me worse but I could always put up with it, so why was I acting this way now?
The uneasiness I was feeling made me panic, and I suddenly wanted to talk to someone. I took out my phone and sent a message to Cecilia. [Are you okay over there?]
It was laughable that I could not even tell her directly that I just wanted to talk.
