He was angry because of jealousy. Besides, he was behind Irene... Why was there always Elio?
It felt like Elio was thinking about his stuff all the time. He closed his inky eyes slightly and pressed his hand to his forehead.
And Irene, who just came out of the bathroom, was embarrassed. Because she turned her back to Edward, she didn't realize the change of Edward's mood.
Seeing that he did not move, Irene softly asked, "Edward?"
What was wrong with him?
Edward slowly turned around. Irene finally saw Edward's expression. Edward didn't look well, as if he was bearing something.
"What happened to you?" Irene asked.
Edward coughed and leisurely said, "I'm fine."
Seeing Irene's worried expression, he continued, "I'll take a shower."
Irene nodded and then saw Edward walking to the bathroom.
Walking to the bedside, Irene found that the bag of pajamas seemed to have been opened.
By reason, Edward should be happy to see that she bought such a set of couple pajamas. Even if it was not so exaggerated, it should not be what it was just now... Was he not satisfied with her own tastes? After all, he liked black and white, and the gray color may not be his favor.
Thinking of this, Irene stopped drying her hair. She wrapped up her pajamas and threw them into her closet.
He wouldn't be angry if he didn't see them.
When Edward came out of the bathroom, Irene was still sitting on the dressing table with a cup of flower tea beside her, looking thoughtfully into the mirror and holding her chin with her right hand.
Edward knew that it must be his expression and actions just now scared her...
He picked up a towel and walked to her. He used the towel to wipe her hair gently, but his eyes unnaturally moved away. He did not want to meet Irene's eyes—at least not now.
"Edward, what are you..." Irene did not know what she had done. She did not like hiding her own thoughts, so she would say what she wanted.
But before she could finishe her words, Edward put the towel aside and said, "I'll get the hairdryer."
Then he fast turned around .
Was this cold violence? If it had been in the past, Irene felt that no matter what Edward did to her, she wouldn't have any feelings, because she had already been used to it. But now, Edward, who is so good to her, suddenly didn't look like Edward in her impression.
Why was he so angry just beacause of a pair of pajamas? Was it worth it for him to treat her like that? Irene finally couldn't hold it anymore, "Edward, what is wrong with you?"
She hated the feeling now.
What's wrong? How could Edward reply his wife? Could he say because he had sent some to follow her and found she was always with Elio? Could he say he was mad because of jealousy?
Edward turned and said, "What's the matter? Why do not you tell me you came back so late just to buy these two pairs of pajamas? Is not it for something else?"
Because of other reasons?
Irene did not understand what that meant. She did not need to lie. If it were not to buy clothes for him, why should she come back so late?
It was fine if he didn't like pajamas, but what did he mean by throwing a tantrum at her?
"What do you mean?" She was extremely angry, and her chest was heaving violently.
"What do I mean? Don't tell me that you didn't want to see Elio?" Finally, Edward could not help but grit his teeth.
Elio?
"What wrong with him? I just met him in the exhibition." That was all.
After she finished, she was onfused that how Edward knew that she had met Elio.
She looked up and stared at Edward incredulously. "How did you know that I met Elio? Did you send someone to follow me?"
Elio? She was calling him so intimate. He didn't expect that they would be so intimate. They had known each other since college, he would not forget the disappointed expression on Elio's face at the wedding and Elio's actions in the ward that day.
Edward snorted, "Elio? When did you become so close? And, you said I would send someone to follow you. Irene, am I that kind of person in your mind?"
That's right. Edward was not a good person to Irene at the beginning, but since he recognized his intentions, he had been trying to make her accept him. Wasn't that enough for her to change her mind? Was Elio the only gentleman?
Irene was speechless for a moment. She did not mean it, but if she explained it that way, it would only make matters worse. Her lips trembled, but she finally said nothing, instead, she looked at Edward without saying anything.
"Irene, what am I to you? Am I your husband?" he wondered who Irene thought he was. She was already his wife, but she did not know how to keep a distance from another man. Did she have the consciousness of being a wife?
Irene wanted to laugh. "What do I take you for? And you, what am I? Yes, I went to meet with Elio on purpose. Do you have the right to control my social circle? I am your wife, nut not a prisoner confined to this great house."
