I burst out in maniacal laughter. "It wouldn't be a problem if you agree."
This man in front of me did not even ask why I went t o the apartment. How unreasonable of him to lose his temper without asking what had happened!
Theo got so angry that he slammed his palm against the door hard. The sound was extremely loud and terrifying. "Wanda Lane, do you really think so? Do you really want to be with him?"
Ultimately, I could not stand his temper anymore. Thus, I lifted my hands and pushed him on his chest." Theo Grant, you said you might not be returning tonight. If I truly wanted to be with him, why did I come back in the heavy rain in the middle of the night? When it comes to Matthew Zimmer, you always lash out at me without even asking for the details.
You're just being unreasonable.”
He took a deep breath. I could see the veins bulging on his forehead. "Okay, then tell me why you stayed until so late before coming back."
The corners of my lips twitched as I said, "Look, I’m tired from standing. Let me sit down and I'll explain everything to you."
Theo suppressed his anger and stepped aside.
I plopped down onto the bed and looked at the empty glass on the bedside table. "I'm thirsty."
"I'll get you a glass of water," he said with gritted teeth.
I supposed he must be irked to his limits, having to give in when he was the one who was upset.
In an instant, my mood was lifted. When he returned with the glass of water, I said calmly, "Promise me that you'll never lose your temper like that again until you ask for the details."
"Wanda Lane!" He ground his teeth together. "Know your limits!"
I shrugged. "I won’t speak, then."
