I stood up and replied in a resentful tone, "Theo Grant, i f you have any problems with me, please tell me directly and stop insinuating. You're familiar with my social circle. There are only a few people who I'm in contact with. What can I lie to you about? And what secrets could I hide from you?
"You’ve been keeping a lot of secrets!" He sneered and replied sharply, "For example, the man who hugged you in the airport!"
I was stunned. Then, I lowered my eyes and said in a tone of disbelief, "You've been following me?"
I did not run into anyone I knew at the airport yesterday, but he knew everything I did. It went without saying how he knew about that. There was a wave of anger rising in my chest. "Theo, what is this? Don't I have any freedom left?"
"You’re my wife. Why can’t I track your whereabouts? I s there anything wrong with that?" His eyes were gloomy and cold to the extent that they were terrifying.
"Of course not. You're invading my privacy. Even if we’re husband and wife, I have the right to keep my privacy. You can just ask me directly if you want to know anything. Why do you have to do this?"
I was furious, and I could not stand the stink of alcohol on him. I frowned and took a few steps back.
"Would you have told me if I asked?" He reached out and grabbed me. His lower jaw tightened, and his pupils dilated. The way he looked at me was particularly cold.
"Yes. I didn't tell you because I thought there was no need to. But if you wanted to know, you could’ve just asked me directly. I would've told you." My face was still sullen and I sounded stiff.
He stood up and pulled me into his arms. He stared at me with gleaming eyes, saying, "I hope you can give m e an explanation about last night."
Speaking of last night, it reminded me of him following me. I did not like the feeling of being suspected and questioned. I was angry, and I started t o blather.
"It was just like what you said, President Grant.
Yesterday, I cheated on you and went on a date with another man. I went to the airport to pick him up and we had a meal together. We even checked into a hotel together. We had fun the whole night and I just came back."
