I thought about it all night.
The more I thought about it, the more breathless I got.
Theo could easily see what was wrong with me. He sat beside me, gently stroked my belly, and looked at me with affection and tenderness. Then, he asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so angry?"
Angry?
I turned around and looked at myself through the glass window. I touched my face and asked, “Do I look annoyed?”
Theo tapped on my nose and replied in a gentle tone, "No. I can sense it from just listening to your breathing. It’s not as smooth as usual, and you're breathing heavily. What other reason could there be if it's not you being angry?"
I did not expect Theo to be so attentive.
I looked at him and remembered Tyler. Then, I asked, "Do men like women who are alluring and seductive?”
I did not even realize that I sounded a little furious when I said that.
Theo quietly endured my temper, then he immediately replied, "That's other men. I'm only attracted to you." He leaned closer to me and planted a kiss on my cheek.
I was preoccupied with Tyler and Sara's matter. I was not in the mood to give him a response. I moved his face away, stood up, and sat on another armchair.
Theo carefully shot me a glance. He quietly walked toward me and sat on the armrest of the sofa. He bent down and asked me,' Tell me who's the seductive little vamp you mentioned just now? What's making my wife worried?"
I let out a heavy sigh and said calmly," Tyler looked for me today and told me that Sara is pregnant.”
Theo did not say anything. He waited for me to continue.
"He told me that his treatment toward her is all an act. How could he make Sara pregnant when he's putting on a show, though? What’s worse than Sara getting pregnant is Tyler doesn't want Sara to give birth to the baby. He wants me to convince her. What is Tyler thinking? Poor Susan." I slammed my hand on the sofa as though I was beating Tyler, that heartbreaker.
