He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 10

‘Married?”

Theodore’s fingers clutching the phone tightened abruptly, his knuckles turning white.

On the other end of the line, her mother’s relaxed, almost relieved tone was like a sharp needle stabbing unexpectedly into his eardrum.

Absurd!

A wave of offended fury rushed to his head. Theodore almost scoffed out loud.

Married? Evelyn? How dare she?!

Besides him, Theodore, who else could she possibly marry?

she must be throwing a tantrum. Because he chose to save Maren first? Because he whipped her? So she was using this extreme, idiotic method to get his

attention, to get back at him?

Theodore, don’t overthink it,” her mother’s voice continued, trying to placate him. “You’re married to Maren now, and you’re trying for a baby. It’s time to cut ies with Evelyn… I can see you’re not without feelings for Maren. Isn’t this the best arrangement? It’s peaceful for everyone.”

The best arrangement?

The tense line of Theodore’s jaw relaxed slightly.

That’s right… with Evelyn gone, he wouldn’t have to hide things from both sides, wouldn’t have to waste energy placating her, wouldn’t have to get irritated by her occasional grievances and questions.

He could be with Maren with a clear conscience, build their family, and produce an heir.

Wasn’t this, on some subconscious level… a situation he had even hoped for?

3ut…

Why did it feel like a piece of his heart had been suddenly carved out, with a cold wind whistling through the void?

He looked at the apartment, now feeling exceptionally empty and lifeless because of Evelyn’s absence, and an unexplainable irritation and… a sharp, stabbing. Jain began to spread uncontrollably.

He thought his feelings for Evelyn had long been diluted by time and his growing affection for Maren, but now that she was truly gone for good, he realized he! mage had been carved into his very bones.

Her departure wasn’t a relief, it was as if a piece of his own flesh had been brutally torn from his life.

Where did she go? Who did she marry?” Theodore’s voice was cold enough to freeze water, suppressing a storm of emotions.

You don’t need to worry about that. In any case, it’s a good situation for her, and she won’t bother you and Maren anymore.” Her mother said evasively, clearly lot wanting to elaborate.

Tell me!” Theodore’s voice rose sharply, carrying an undeniable command and a hint of panic he himself didn’t even notice.

intimidated by his intensity, her mother hesitated before reluctantly saying, “It’s the Ashworth family, from the next state over. Their eldest son, Daniel Ashworth, the one who’s in a coma after a car accident. A bedside marriage. They just registered it today.”

The Ashworths? Daniel Ashworth? A man in a coma?

Theodore’s mind went blank with a loud buzz. She had actually… just to spite him, married a living corpse?!
