I calmed down a lot when Theo was in the bath.
My mood was already peaceful when he came out.
He leaned over, and the fragrance on his body drifted over, soothing me quite a bit.
"Feeling better?" Theo's voice was so gentle, and it wiped away all the remaining anger in me.
I nodded. "Yeah."
He sat down and looked at me."Do you want to tell me about it?"
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.
Theo sat on the side of the bed and faced me after receiving my answer. "Alright, tell me."
"I wasn’t angry because of Harriet. At most, she just happened to cross paths with me when I was in a bad mood," I said slowly. I was already sighing with just those few words. "The person who really made me angry was Cole. I called him when I came back."
"Did you mention Silas Yard to him?" Theo asked tentatively.
"Of course," I answered without hesitation. "But he wasn't surprised at all. The results of my investigations were completely within his expectations."
"So, he already knows about Silas Yard." Theo immediately pointed out the crux.
I slapped my thigh. "That's right. Cole knows everything, but he won't tell me about it. I don't understand why he insists on me finding out the person’s name myself. What difference is there if he were to just tell me directly?! This investigation is also quite dangerous. I was depressed when Harriet suddenly appeared and said those things to me. I couldn't hold myself back."
Thinking about it now, I was really too unstable to be outside just now.
Theo touched my head while wearing a slight smile on his lips. "It's okay, people have tempers. It's better to occasionally vent out your displeasure when you get angry rather than keeping it in your heart."
His reassurance settled me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and whispered, "What do you think Cole is thinking?"
"I'm not him, so I'm not sure. But a person like him has a sense of propriety. I think he has his own plans. What do you think?"
