Theo looked at me with hesitation in his eyes. "She and I…"
His trailing sentence startled me.
That tone clearly meant that there was something going on between them.
For a moment, I wanted to run away.
I avoided his gaze and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about this another day. I'm tired. I'll go to the guest room."
Just as I was about to leave, Theo grabbed my wrist.
I looked over. He was stunned for a moment before he let go. "I'll go."
Theo left the room after that.
After he left, I sat in the room in silence.
Theo really did not explain further.
My heart seemed to constrict lightly. I held my chest and frowned. It hurt.
I wanted to know what was going on with him and Delia but did not have the courage to hear it. I was afraid that it would be news that I could not bear.
Lowering my head, my face scrunched up in pain. I scratched my hair and lay down.
I would leave it to tomorrow. I might have the courage to face it tomorrow.
Thinking of this, I closed my eyes. Even though my mind was overwhelmed, I still forced myself to fall asleep. I did not know how long it took before I fell asleep.
The weather the next day was gloomy as if it knew I was depressed. It looked like a typhoon was coming.
I immediately saw Theo at the dining table when I came down.
He did not seem to have slept well. He turned his head when he heard movement. "Did you sleep well?"
Why ask when he already knew?
None of us spoke at the dining table.
Caroline did not dare not make a sound amidst the quiet atmosphere.
Theo was finally the one to break the silence. "I want to find a suitable time to tell you about that matter."
