"No, I couldn't tell!" After he said that, he lowered his head and bit me hard on the lips.
He was heavy-handed all of a sudden and it hurt, so I shouted angrily, "Theo, are you an idiot? Can't you see that he's spouting nonsense and deliberately trying to make you angry? I can't believe you're the president of a big company yet let someone push you around like a foolish king."
Clearly, I was the one who caught him having lunch with someone. However, now it was him calling me out. I felt aggrieved and looked up at him, staring fiercely.
He laughed and lowered his head again, whispering beside my ear in a deep voice, "Since you say that I'm a foolish king, I won't disappoint you."
After he said that, he picked me up and put me on the bed. He looked at me from above. "I shall excuse you from the death penalty, but you’ll live a sufferable life. Your punishment is to serve me well.”
Without waiting for my answer, he kissed me lightly.
"No, the doctor said we need to be gentle with the baby.
"The doctor said that the fetus has gone through several dangerous events and that special care needs t
o be taken in the later stage of pregnancy."
It was true. The last time I went for a maternity checkup, the doctor specifically mentioned that it would be a critical time during my second trimester and I should have less intercourse.
My understanding was that we were not to have intercourse at all.
He looked at me with a deep expression. He stared at me as his thin lips slightly parted. "Is that what she said? Should I call and ask?"
"If you don’t mind, go ahead and ask." I stared at him, unafraid. I was sure that he would not call the doctor specifically for this.
He rolled over, sat up on the bed, and took out his phone when my phone rang.
I looked at the caller ID on the phone on the bedside table. It was Tyler. My heart tightened instinctively as I glanced at Theo a little sheepishly.
