A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 375

Douglas actually meddled in Theo's marriage for Melody's sake. He had some nerves, risking Theo's rage.

"Hey!" Still not recognizing how big of a mess he had made, Douglas turned around and aired his grievances to Simon. He firmly believed that Yvette was maliciously targeting Melody.

"Simon, we grew up with Melody, and all she wants is a simple gathering. What's so bad about it? Also, your wife is getting nastier and more disrespectful. You ought to keep her in line."

Daniel and Simon stopped in their tracks and gave him an exasperated look.

Douglas was dumbfounded by the way they stared at him. Once Sierra and Yvette were far away, the little doubt in his heart was all but gone.

He continued in a self-righteous tone, "You're terrible too, Simon. You just have to bring Yvette along every time we hang out. It's like you two are conjoined twins. You can't give each other some space for one freaking second."

"Save your bullshit for someone who cares. I don't need space. I'm content as long as she's by my side," Simon snapped at Douglas. It didn't matter whether Yvette was here to hear it.

Daniel noticed that Douglas still hadn't realized his mistake. He sighed and lowered his voice. "We know what Melody is up to. It was fine in the past. She could tackle Theo however she wanted as long as she was happy.

"If he were willing to be together with her, they would've been well matched. The thing is, Theo is married now, and he cares a great deal about Sierra. You're asking for it when you brought Melody into the picture at a time like this."

Douglas pursed his lips. His eyes became shifty as he protested with a mix of emotions, "Melody is actually a great lady."

Simon patted Douglas' shoulder and spoke as if he were very experienced in such matters. "Melody could be the most excellent lady in the world, and it still wouldn't have made a difference. Theo doesn't have feelings for her. Reciprocated love is crucial when it comes to a relationship."

Theo was particularly cold and indifferent whenever he dealt with Melody. However, his fierce eyes would automatically soften when Sierra was around. All that was left was love and tenderness in them.

The stark contrast in the way he treated Sierra and Melody was very telling. It was obvious that Sierra meant a lot to him.
