I walked out of the bathroom after I finished showering. When I saw Theo taking off his clothes, I said briefly, "You should sleep in another room tonight."
He was taken aback for a second before he quickly walked toward me. "Why?"
I stopped wiping my hair and lowered my eyes. "No reason."
Theo reached out his arms to hug me. "You're just upset because I came back late and I didn't pick up your call."
"I’m not." I pushed him away, annoyed.
"Why do you have to lie to me?" Theo's expression darkened. "You'll feel better if you just let it out, and so will I."
I did not want to argue with him and continued to push him away without saying anything.
"Wanda Lane!" He tightened his hug around me, lowered his head, and bit my ear. "Tell me, why are you mad? Or else, I won’t let you go."
"You!” I was irritated.
'This man is really hard to deal with!'
"Say it!” Theo exerted more force when biting me.
I could not take the pain anymore. "Are you a dog?"
"Say it!” Theo bit even harder.
"Fine, I'll say it, okay?" I was so done with him. "The hair on your shirt buttons belongs to Cindy, right?"
Theo paused for a moment, then asked with a smile," Wanda Lane, you have such good eyesight.”
I glared at him angrily. "Thank you for your compliment."
