NovelEnglishChapter 224 After I was done talking, I kept my eyes glued to him, waiting for him to answer me.
I knew I had gone too far, but he wantedto tell him what was deep inside my heart. These were all the nastiest and honest thoughts hidden in my heart.

I ignored his mockery and continued, "Whenever you see her, we'll be separated for half a month. If you see her more than five times, then we'll divorce. Can you agree to that?" His handsface, which was pouting but still with a smile, turned cold all of a sudden. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he spoke coldly, "Is divorce such a n easy thing for you?" I lowered my head and kept quiet. It was hard for me. However, if it were because of Cindy, then it would be easy.
He let out a sigh and pulledinto the car. We did not say anything along the way. The atmosphere was tense. Once we reached home, the phone's ringtone broke the silence all of a sudden.
I knew that it was Cindy calling him without even thinking twice about it. I sat in the car and remained motionless without even looking at him.
He rejected the call and put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he opened the door to the passenger and pulled on my arm, wantingto get down. He looked atgently and spoke softly, "I told you that I have nothing to do with her. There was never anything going on between us and it'll be the sin the future too." I turned to look at him and said, "Theo Grant, I'm not dumb or stupid." He had been taking care of Cindy attentively, yet he was tellingthat there was nothing between them. How was I supposed to believe that? "Aren't you a silly little dummy!" His tone was slightly helpless but he still said, "Since we've received our marriage certificate, we'll be husband and wife forever. You have to trust me, and I'll be responsible for taking care of you." He would be responsible to me, which meant that he could also be responsible to other women. I did not say that out loud, though. I lifted my head and looked a t him. "Is it because of the child?" "Huh?" He seemed like he had no idea what I was talking about and looked atin confusion.
"You said that you're going to be responsible for taking care of me. Is it because of the child?" I explained to him. "Yes, you and the baby are both my responsibilities. And it's a lifetcommitment. So let's spend the rest of our lives happily together as a family of three in the future, alright?" he looked atand answered sincerely. Family of three? There was nothing wrong with what he said but I had no idea why I was feeling depressed. If the child did not exist, he probably would not take responsibility for me! He stood outside the car for stime. When he sawnot moving, he reached out and carriedin his arms before walking toward the room.
Back in the bedroom, he laydown on the bed, landed a gentle kiss on my forehead, and spoke softly, "Get ssleep. I'm going out to take care of sbusiness in the company. I'll be right back." I sat up on the bed and said, "Letaccompany you." He looked atand smiled. "Don't worry. There's something I have to do. I won't have tto meet any irrelevant people. You're tired, just rest at home. I'll bring back sgood food for you." I knew full well that I was going too far. Why could I not just go with the flow? There was no way I could stop them from seeing each other. Hence, why should I bother myself with something like this? He looked atfor a while. At last, he sighed softly, turned around, and left.

After Theo left, I sat on the bed staring into space. I kind of hated what I was feeling right now, but? could not control my emotions.
