I sneered. "I lied to you? Who's the one lying now? Let me ask you a question, then. When I nearly died in the morgue, where were you and who were you with?"
Theo frowned. "Why are you suddenly bringing up that night's incident?"
"You're bringing up yesterday's incident, so why can’t I bring up that night's incident?”
I was furious. When I recalled the night I nearly died and how he was with Cindy, I just felt suffocated inside.
I thought he was having a social gathering that night, and while doing so, he even delivered me food. It was absurd to just think about it.
I was eating at home by myself, whereas he
ate in a restaurant with Cindy, talking and laughing with each other.
Theo took a deep breath and spoke in a grumpy tone, "Can't we communicate properly, Wanda?”
"Ik you think that my attitude is bad, then we can choose not to communicate at all."
Since neither of us was willing to communicate, then we might as well remain silent and wait until both our anger had dissipated.
I turned around and did not intend to say anything else.
I was angry, and my inability to vent out had suffocated me. It made it impossible for me to fall asleep.
Sensing Theo’s hands crawling on my body, I completely exploded.
I lifted the covers and sat up on the bed, glaring furiously at him. "Mr. Grant, if you need to satisfy your physical needs, then I can call Ms. Reed here for you. She would be glad to serve you.
"If you're embarrassed to let her know, then I can inform her."
Having said that, I picked up my phone and called Cindy.
Theo got up and looked at me with a cold gaze. "Do you know what you're saying, Wanda?"
"I do."
The call connected. I moved the phone to my ear and blandly asked, "Are you asleep, Ms. Reed?" "What do you want?"
I snickered. "Ms. Reed, your beloved Theowy needs your service right now. Can you come over? I'll pay you once the service ends."
Cindy froze for a moment before shouting in anger, "What are you talking about, Wanda Lane? How can you humiliate someone like that?"
"I'm sorry, I should've discussed the pricing with you first. You can state any amount since your beloved Theowy has all the money in the world. Besides, even if you're not paid for it, the cars and property he bought you over the years, as well as the living expenses he's given you should be enough for you to serve him once. You love him, don’t you? Now is your chance. Are you sure you’re not going to take it?”
"You're too much, Wanda Lane!"
As soon as she said that, Theo snatched the phone from my hand and smashed it into the wall.
The phone was smashed into pieces at once, damaged beyond repair.
I glared at him with raging eyes.
It was the same for him. The look on his face was so terrifying it was like he wanted to kill me.
"Do you feel sorry for her?" I asked with a sneer.
"If you're angry, then just come at me. Why did you humiliate her? What did she do to you to warrant such hurtful retaliation?"
"Theo Grant, can you be honest with your heart? She’s the first person you've ever loved, right? You must've felt unwilling all these years, and if that’s the case, what I did wasn't wrong. I was just helping you say the words you don’t dare to say." I took a deep breath and held back the urge to cry. "What am I to you? At most, I'm just a substitute. The love that you can't show her can only be released on me, right?”
Theo was in a roaring rage. "Wanda Lane! Do you think my feelings for you all these years are nothing but fake?"
"Sure enough, a president's wife is different. She can throw her weight around and keep so many people waiting. To be honest, Mr. Grant doesn’t lack money, so you really don’t need to work so hard.
Besides, you don’t have the ability to work, so you might as well stay at home and be a good housewife.”
I glanced indifferently at her and continued to ignore her.
Krayden handed me a document and took over to take a look. He then said to Matthew, "Let’s go do a thorough check together, Mr. Zimmer. It’s always good to prevent problems before they happen."
Matthew nodded. "Okay.
He glanced at Elena with a displeased look on his face but did not say much.
"Why do you look so tired today, Wanda? Did you not have a good rest last night?" Matthew asked with concern.
I smiled. "I didn't sleep well, but it's nothing."
Safety checks must be done with great care, so it was not until one o'clock that we were done with the checks.
We all sat on the chairs outside the institute to rest and thought about what we should be having for lunch later.
I went a night without sleeping. After a whole day of work, I was very sleepy and leaned on the chair, lacking in spirit. I did not want to move anymore.
“Have something to eat first. You can rest after you eat," Matthew walked up to me and said in a soft voice.
I stared at him and the lunch box in his hand.
"It's all your favorite dishes," he said with a smile.
"Thanks." I took the lunch box. "You’re truly a blessing. I'm starving."
