Theo's gaze eased a little, no longer as frustrated as he was before.
I gently stroked his face and said, "What's wrong? Why are you even more upset than before?"
Theo did not look at me and just replied in a cold tone, "Since when did you start caring about her again?"
He still seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with my enthusiasm.
As a wife, I was naturally happy to see him so aggressively clarifying his relationship with another woman.
However, combined with the reality of the situation, this person's status was really special. Not to mention, those were things of the past.
Theo and I did not need to go through anything special now to prove our love for each other, and I did not want to give him any reason to feel guilty about Cindy because of it.
"I'm not concerned about her. I'm just trying to get the problem out of the way." After a pause, I continued, "I don't want to give you an opportunity to think about someone else."
Seeing that I was joking, Theo did not get angry. He gave the tip of my nose a doting pinch. After that, his expression returned to a somewhat serious state.
"I'll go check on her, then." He got up with great reluctance.
"No need." I stood up and held his shoulders down, pressing him back into his seat again.

"You just wait here while I go."
Theo's furrowed brows relaxed instantly.
I was going to express Theo's concern for her and help him keep a good distance from Cindy without giving her an excuse to flirt with Theo again.
