Chapter 220 His voice was very loud, and it seemed like the words were said out of anger. I did not struggle and lay there quietly.
"Who did you meet today?" His expression was gloomy, and his dark eyes were radiating with fury.
"It's not important." I rubbed my face against his muscular chest and found a comfortable position to hug him.
He did not say a word, but I knew he was angry; very angry, in fact. I simply closed my eyes and pretended that I did not know.
The phone suddenly rang, and it broke the silence in the room.

He took his phone out of the pocket and glanced at it. It was Cindy. I sat upright and broke free from his embrace. I wanted to stay away and did not want to be embraced by him anymore, but he clung totightly.
He pressed the speakerphone button before answering the call.
Before he even spoke, Cindy's impatient voice cthrough. "Theowy, I'm going back to Salt City tomorrow to help my mom with the company for stime. Could you cpickup at the airport?" I placed my head on his chest and found a more comfortable position.
He tucked my hair behind my ear and said, "I have something going on tomorrow. I'll ask Zedd to go pick you up. What tis your flight?" There was a long silence on the other end of the call, and it took a long while for Cindy to speak. Her voice was a little soft. "Theowy, you promised to take care offor a lifetyet you can't even fulfill this tiny favor of mine?" Theo stared at his phone silently.
Knowing that he felt uncomfortable, I looked up at him and said into the phone, "I'm feeling a bit under the weather recently, so my husband needs to stay hand take care of me. Please don't make things hard for him, Miss Reed." The corner of Theo's mouth curved into an arc, and his voice was still low. "Send the flight number and tto Zedd. Get him to pick you up tomorrow. That's all!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, not giving Cindy the chance to talk.
He then bowed his head and kissed my forehead lightly, saying, "This is what a wife should do." He looked like he was in a good mood, but I was speechless. Such people did exist.
"You must be hungry now. Wait here, I'll make something for you to eat." After saying that, he kissedagain and walked out of the bedroom.
I checked the time. It was already eight in the evening. I was not sleepy anymore and got out of the bedroom.
He was busy in the kitchen. He smiled when he saw m e cout and said, "Take a seat first. It'll be done in n o time." Cecilia's house had been vacant for a long time. I was very curious about what he could cook.
20 minutes later, he broughta bowl of noodles with eggs. "I searched the fridge for a long tbut there were only two eggs and half of a sausage. Just eat sof this. I have no idea how Cecilia survived here." I stared at the steaming hot egg noodles in front ofwith wet eyes.
"What's wrong? Does it taste bad? The book said that pregnant ladies shouldn't constoo much salt and can't eat spicy food, so I made it light-flavored. There are no onions either. It may look unappetizing, but it doesn't taste that bad. Try some." He fedsnoodles after that as if he was coaxing a child. He was patient and gentle.

I looked at him in a daze. Everything in front of my eyes seemed a little unrealistic.
listic. Previously, @scene like this would have only appeared in my dreams or only if the woman with him was Cindy. From the day I married him, he had always treatedcoldly. His tenderness and concern were all saved for Cindy.
I felt like I had switched lives with Cindy. He was directing all the I kindness he had for her tohad believe a a hard tbelieving it, and I was also worried. I was afraid that it was all just a dream. I would not be able t o endure the loss and heartache if I were to ever wake up one day.
I was feeling troubled and did not feel like eating anything. I barely took a few mouthfuls after he tried to forceto eat. I could not bring myself to eat more. 1 He put down the bowl and chopsticks when he saw how I was refusing to eat. He said, "I'll go buy you smilk and fruits." "It's okay. I'm really not hungry." I wanted to stop him, but he already got to the door and went out.
Not long after, he cback with a full bag. There was milk, fruits, and a few snacks. He forcedto finish the milk and eat sfruits before he stopped to rest.
That night, he did not forcibly bringback to the villa, but he did not leave either. Instead, he stayed together withthe whole night in Cecilia's house.
