Chapter 136 There was a mild pain piercing my chest. I pursed my lips and did not say anything. Could we really be happy and spend our lives together? "Theo, do you love me?" It tooka while to ask this question. There was no answer to this question. It was not something that could be expressed with words, but it was a question that every woman would struggle with.
He was startled for a moment. Then, he lifted his hand to touch my face and asked gently, "Do you love me?" Me? His question caughtoff guard. It had been a long tsince I thought about this seriously.
I had once loved him deeply.
I remembered that I fell in love with him at first sight. When I married him, I thought I was the happiest woman in the whole world. After all, not everyone could marry the one they truly loved.
After we got married, my love wore out as he would be cold and distant tofrom tto time. However, I had been holding on and persevering.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, my affection for him in these three years was unreturned. It seemed that my heart was changing. I even had thoughts about leaving him even though it might be hard forif I really left him one day.
Even though he was still in my heart, I was no longer a s sad as before. It was clear that no matter how passionate my love for him was before, it had worn out with time.
There was another possibility-I was not in love with him as much as I was back then! He pulled a long face when I kept quiet. The darkness i n his eyes grew as he huggedtightly, saying gently, "There's still a long way to go. We still have a lot of tto love each other." Was there a lot of time? I dared not to think about it.
"Theo, I'm hungry. I'm craving your home-cooked noodles," I suddenly said after a long pause.
"I'll get you smilk. Having noodles in the middle of the night is bad for your stomach." He stood up and began to put on his clothes.
"No. I only want noodles." When I saw he was unwilling to cook for me, I becstubborn again and spoke in an unpleasant tone.
"Alright, alright, alright. My honey bunny, stop fussing. I'll cook for you right now." After he said so, he put on his clothes and went downstairs.
Actually, I was not really hungry. I just wanted to order him around all of a sudden. I guessed it was like what people often said, pregnant women would behave unreasonably. I did not expect that I would be messing around like this one day too.
Theo's phone rang. He had left it on the bedside table. I lifted my head to see who was calling. It was Cindy Damn, it was in the middle of the night now. What the hell was wrong with her? I ignored it at first, but she refused to give up. She kept making calls after calls. I could not stand it any longer and answered it. "Theo is makingsupper. If you're looking for him, try calling later." "Wanda, why are you the one answering the call? Why are you with Theowy at this late hour? And why is he making you supper?" Cindy yelled hysterically atwhen she heard my voice.
I could not help but laugh. Sometimes, I thought Cindy was a princess living in her own world, refusing to see the truth. I said, "We're husband and wife. Is it strange for us to be together? We're also going to sleep on the sbed together later." "How shameless of you to pester Theowy like this!" Cindy scolded as she cried.
"Why is it considered shameful for us to sleep together? He even askedto satisfy his needs. Oh, yes, we even took a bath together. So what do you mean by that?" I hung up the phone without waiting for her to answer. I did not intend to annoy her, but she kept bothering me. I was really tired of her.
Right after I hung up, I turned around and saw Theo standing at the door while holding a bowl of noodles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI had no idea if he heard me. I waved the phone in my hand. "Your phone kept ringing. It was so noisy that I helped you answer it." He put the bowl on the table. He placed a pillow behind my back, then handedthe bowl of noodles. He said, "What did she say?"
I ate a mouthful of noodles. It tasted good. Then, I replied to him, "don't know. didn't ask. I asked her to call back later." I just annoyed her and had no idea why she was calling.
It was a hot night and I was having warm noodles.
Suddenly, I felt cold all over. I lifted my head and met Theo's cold eyes. I did not understand why he had changed to another person all of a sudden. "You... What's wrong?" I could not help but say.
ve It took him stto reply, and when he did, his voice was deep. "As my wife, shouldn't you be mad atif another woman keeps callingin the middle of the night? Does this mean you don't give a sh*t about me?"
