After I was done talking, I kept my eyes glued to him, waiting for him to answer me.
I knew I had gone too far, but he wanted me to tell him what was deep inside my heart. These were all the nastiest and honest thoughts hidden in my heart.
He stood on the spot with his deep eyes staring at me. The corner of his lips curled upward into a perfect curve. "I didn't expect you to be this bossy when you're jealous.”
I ignored his mockery and continued, "Whenever you see her, we'll be separated for half a month. If you see her more than five times, then we’ll divorce. Can you agree to that?"
His handsome face, which was pouting but still with a smile, turned cold all of a sudden. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he spoke coldly, "Is divorce such a n easy thing for you?"
I lowered my head and kept quiet. It was hard for me. However, if it were because of Cindy, then it would be easy.
He let out a sigh and pulled me into the car. We did not say anything along the way. The atmosphere was tense.
Once we reached home, the phone's ringtone broke the silence all of a sudden.
I knew that it was Cindy calling him without even thinking twice about it. I sat in the car and remained motionless without even looking at him.
He rejected the call and put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he opened the door to the passenger and pulled on my arm, wanting me to get down. He looked at me gently and spoke softly, "I told you that I have nothing to do with her. There was never anything going on between us and it’ll be the same in the future too.”
I turned to look at him and said, "Theo Grant, I’m not dumb or stupid."
He had been taking care of Cindy attentively, yet he was telling me that there was nothing between them. How was I supposed to believe that?
"Aren’t you a silly little dummy!” His tone was slightly helpless but he still said, "Since we've received our marriage certificate, we’ll be husband and wife forever. You have to trust me, and I’ll be responsible for taking care of you."
He would be responsible to me, which meant that he could also be responsible to other women. I did not say that out loud, though. I lifted my head and looked a t him. "Is it because of the child?"
