Theo did not give me my phone back or place it on the coffee table. Instead, he continued holding it in his hand. He stared straight ahead of him without saying a word.
I wondered if Tyler had angered him so much there was something wrong with him. However, I could not b e bothered to check up on him even if Tyler had angered him to the point of illness. I stood and walked over to lie down in bed.
Theo grabbed my arm, and my phone rang at the same time.
The sound indicated it was a text message. When I lowered my gaze and saw it was a text from Tyler, I felt a headache forming.
Were all men this childish?
Theo typed out a huge wall of text and sent it before h e turned off my phone. He then carried me to the bed. " I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."
I had guessed the contents of the text Tyler sent, but I could not guess what Theo replied to it. It probably wasn’t anything nice.
Theo did not bother me anymore. After finishing the turmeric and ginger tea that Miss Woods brought
upstairs, he allowed me to go to bed.
I did not see Theo when I woke up the next morning and decided to go downstairs after I got out of bed and washed up. The minute I opened the door, I was greeted with the sight of a man and a woman intimately cuddling.
Did I have to be triggered so early in the morning?
When Cindy saw me, she said, "Theowy, you might be able to fool others, but you’ll never be able to fool me. You don't love Wanda. All you feel for her is guilt. The person you truly love is me, but you aren’t willing to admit it."
"Cindy Reed!" Theo pushed her away mercilessly as he said in a cold voice, "I can be sure that I don't love you. As for my feelings for Wanda, that has nothing to do with you. You’re Petra's daughter now, and Petra is a well-known, respected person. Since you're her daughter, I hope you’ll learn to have more respect for yourself. Refrain from doing shameless things and saying insensitive things."
Cindy took a deep breath and said, "You refuse to admit you love Wanda. So you don't love her at all."
