My words made Cindy extremely angry. She pointed a t me, her body trembling violently. She was unable to say a word for a very long time. "D-Don't be so pleased with yourself. You’ll soon end up crying!"
“Cindy!" Theo looked displeased and said in a deep voice, "Wait here. Keith will come over and bring you back."
After saying that, he did not spare her another glance and took my hand before walking forward.
"Theowy..." Behind us, Cindy's heart-piercing cry rang out.
"I don’t think it's appropriate for you to leave Cindy here all alone. Don’t you see how badly she’s crying?" I was being pulled by Theo, which made my footsteps a little rushed. I talked as we walked.
He stopped and sneered at me, saying, "Am I supposed to leave you behind and go back by myself then?"
It did seem... quite inappropriate. I was heavily pregnant, after all.
He continued to pull me forward, his grip a little tight. I t hurt my wrist greatly.
I was in pain and began babbling nonsense, "A flirtatious idiot like you deserves it. It's your fault that
you’ve ended up provoking a bunch of ladies. You break hearts wherever you go. Look what you've got yourself into. You’re stuck in an impossible situation, huh?!
"Ouch, it hurts! Can’t you be a little more gentle, Theo Grant? I didn't mean to ruin your fun today, but it's your fault for not going farther away when you're meeting up with another woman. Why did you meet her somewhere near the house? I may be at fault but you can’t use such underhanded means to retaliate against me.”
"Retaliate against you?" He laughed in anger. "Do you realize how sharp-tongued you’re getting, Wanda Lane? You're making things up, and your ability to cook up nonsense is getting better and better."
"Seeing is believing. I'm only speaking the truth. Refute me if I'm wrong!" I argued unforgivingly.
"You-” He roared in anger and glanced at my belly before eventually swallowing his words. He continued pulling me forward.
I refused to move and cried out, "My legs hurt, I can't walk anymore."
He stopped and stared at me with a dark profound gaze while frowning. "Do you want me to carry you?"
"Well, that's an option." I looked up with a look of reluctance on my face.
He smirked and glanced at my belly. Then, he picked me up princess-style.
