Delia lost control of her emotions and roared at me before I could finish.
Worried that what happened last time would happen again, I hurriedly urged her to calm down. “Take it easy. You’re pregnant, after all. It won’t be good if you go to the hospital again.”
“And that would be because of you.”
“I already told you Theo was the one who started it, but you wouldn’t listen. What can I do, then?” I shook my head helplessly. Compared with my hostility toward her back then, I could now talk to her calmly face-to-face.
However, Delia was just being difficult.
Her love for Theo was much deeper than I had imagined.
“Actually, I've been wondering why you love Theo so much. It’s clear that you haven’t known him for not long,” I asked while looking at Delia with an inquiring gaze.
Delia pouted, not expecting that I would ask such a question. She sat down on the swing chair beside her. “It’s none of your business.”
"You ruined my family but you’re now telling me it's none of my business. That doesn't make sense, no?" I sat across from her, and I was smiling when I said this.
Delia might have found this smile mocking, though. She frowned at me before saying in a displeased tone, "Whatever it is, it's my business. I don't need to tell you anything. You're the loser now. What right do you have to question me? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
"I just want you to honor the one-month agreement, Miss Owens. Don't trouble me during this time."
Delia turned back and smiled at me all of a sudden. "Don't worry, this was just a lesson to you. If you see Theo next time, run. Don't get close to him!"
I approached Delia and patted her shoulder. "I'll keep that in mind. Take care of yourself. It's more important for you to keep your pregnancy."
My phone rang after she left, and I answered it. "I've positioned it."
