Book8 Chapter3.
After years of marriage, I would make different lunches for Leo every day.
Just last Friday, I overheard him complaining to his assistant that my food was so bad even the dog wouldn't eat it. He said, "This is what happens when you marry the wrong woman."
Remembering this, I calmly said, "I didn't make lunch today."
Leo looked at me in disbelief and asked a very silly question, "Why didn't you? You know I only eat the lunch you make."
Olivia said sarcastically, "Leo, you must have upset Gigi somehow. Otherwise, why would she let you go hungry?"
Leo's expression darkened for a moment. Then he suddenly asked what I wanted to eat and told his assistant to order takeout.
"No need. Just order something Olivia likes. I'll grab something from a nearby restaurant."
Seeing me turn to leave, Leo quickly grabbed his suit jacket and insisted on going with me.
So I had no choice but to have them both join me for lunch.
During the meal, Leo and Olivia kept chatting.
They grew up together, talking about people and things I didn't know.
I had tried to smile and join in before.
But every time I spoke, Leo's eyes would fill with impatience.
At first, he was annoyed that I couldn't keep up and pretended to know things.
Later, when I became cautious and quiet, he accused me of acting aloof and deliberately ignoring his friends.
Since I was wrong no matter what, now I simply chose to stay silent and focus on enjoying my food.
After I finished eating, I went to the restroom. When I came back, Olivia was gone.
"Gigi, you had a good appetite today."
After paying the bill, Leo stood up and smiled as he looked at my slightly rounder belly.
I reached out and removed the fake eyelash stuck to the left side of his cheek.
