After ordering food, I looked at Tyler and said with a smile, "I want to drink milk.”
Tyler smirked. "I don't think you want to drink milk. You're just mad and want to order me around.”
Heidi once showed me the things Tyler did all those years after he left. It was said that he had deliberately picked up psychology. Plus, he was an extremely intelligent man, hence he could see through everyone i n front of him.
I gave him a thumbs up. "I’m impressed."
"How do you plan to express your admiration for me, then?" he asked with a smile.
"I did it just now." I twitched the corner of my mouth." Hurry up and buy me milk. The dishes will soon be served."
He facepalmed himself, feeling a little helpless. He looked at me for a very long time before saying, "Okay, okay. I figured you would soon be my grandmother instead of my sister if I keep pampering you like that."
He got up and left after saying that.
I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, my head buzzing.
I could not bring myself to ignore the comments when I first came in. It was not because they were hurtful but because it involved Theo. A man of such identity was being discussed and laughed at.
The more I thought about it, the more downcast I felt. I decided to go to the washroom to wash my face.
I bumped into Zedd as soon as I walked out of the private room.
"Tsk, you have a pretty interesting private life, huh, Miss Wanda?" Zedd said sarcastically.
His attire was decent. It was obvious that he had deliberately styled himself up, which made him look extraordinarily charming and dashing.
It was New Year's Eve, so he was certainly not here to discuss work with clients. In that case, he must be here on a date.
I pursed my lips and looked behind him.
As expected, Cindy walked out from behind him.
I mocked him back. "You have a pretty interesting private life too, Mr. Zedd."
Cindy’s complexion paled tremendously when she saw me. She did not say anything to me and merely tugged at the corner of Zedd's coat, saying to him," Let’s go!"
Zedd held her hand, his voice warm and tender." There’s no rush."
He then looked at me and sneered. “You're a pretty strong-minded woman, huh, Miss Wanda? How can you still stay so calm? You're out eating and talking with another man after something this major happened? Looks like Theo's worries are for nothing. From what I can see, you must be over the moon after something like that happened."
Did he not clean his mouth before leaving the house today?
I gritted my teeth. "Your words are still unkind as ever. I wonder how you got to this age so safely? I'm surprised no one has beaten you to death yet."
He sneered. "How I got this far is none of your business. All I know is that Theo will soon be tormented to death by you. Why don't you just ask yourself how many times Theo has made compromises for you? You throw a tantrum when you’re upset, but he suffers a hangover alone. He's such a prideful man, yet for your sake, he went to get a vasectomy. Look at what happened now? Not only did you openly cheat on him but after just a few days, you're already having a meal with another man. Do you know the amount of ridicule Theo’s gonna get if your photos are taken and published?" 2
His face was cold and grim, while his emotions were indifferent. "Wanda Lane, have you never considered other people's feelings when you do something? He’s your husband, but what do you take him for? Or perhaps you don't even love him? Is that why you
don’t feel a thing no matter how good he is to you?"
I was stunned and only came back to my senses after a very long time. I looked at him. "What did you say?"
He sneered. "Do you know what a vasectomy means to a man? For your sake, he even raised the son of your so -called friend and doesn't want one of his own. How absurd."
For a few seconds, my mind was blank. I looked at him, my voice a little hoarse. "Why?”
