I let go of my bite and looked at him. His eyes were filled with sorrows and pain, but there was nothing in my heart apart from deathly stillness. There was a huge problem between us. Not only did he not notice i t but he was also thinking that I was messing with him.
I was too exhausted and wanted to get rid of this marriage but could not do so no matter how hard I tried. The intense sense of helplessness put me in despair.
"We're a married couple.” Theo kissed my forehead." We’re the closest people in the world, so we shouldn't b e behaving like this right now."
I pursed my lips, not saying a word.
"Wanda, be a good girl and come back home, okay?"
I tilted my head to the other side, neither agreeing nor refusing.
I knew that there was no use refusing, but I refused to agree regardless.
As expected, Theo did not wait for my reply and thought that I had tacitly assented.
He got up to cover me with a blanket. "I’ll go and make a phone call. Be good and wait for me to come back."
Not long after he left, Jerome gave me a call. I answered it and said wearily, "I'm at Regal Villa and won't be going home tonight."
Jerome fell silent for a moment and said, "Have some rest, then. Remember to give me a call if you need help."
"Will do."
