Chapter 232


    Maybe Jerome had drunk too much. He was feeling angry and upset a moment ago, but he fell


    asleep the next second. He was even snoring lightly.


    Cecilia and I, who were two pregnant women, could not carry a 183cm-tall guy. Hence, we left him


    to sleep on the sofa. We helped him take off his shoes to make him feel morefortable. Cecilia


    covered him with the nket that he covered her with just now.


    She picked her phone up, nced at it, and said, "It''s almost one o''clock and you''re not back home


    yet. Did Theo call you?”


    I smiled helplessly and said, "My phone ran out of battery. He can’t find me.”


    Cecilia furrowed her brows. She was slightly worried." Hurry up and get back home now. Don’t get


    into a fight with him again. I’ll be here to look after Jerome.”

    "It’s alright. I told him that I’d be keeping youpany before I went out.” I looked at Cecilia,


    realizing that she looked awful after not seeing her for a few days. "What happened to you these


    few days? Why do you look so bad?"


    I remembered when I was picking her up at the airport, she had a rosy face and looked healthy.


    "I don''t know why either. I can’t eat or sleep well aftering back. I feel drowsy and sleepy all day.


    Maybe the baby likes the countryside too and doesn’t like it here." Cecilia massaged her temples


    and smiled bitterly.


    "You''ll just have to endure past this stage. I experienced it before as well. Get some sleep every


    time you''re feeling sleepy. Otherwise, you''ll only be more ufortable."


    Women were such great creatures. Apart from everything else, being pregnant for nine months and


    experiencing different stages of pregnancy was a long and difficult process.


    "It looks like he’s not waking up anytime soon. Let’s g o to the bedroom and get some sleep."


    Jerome was drunk. We dared not to leave as we were afraid that he might cause trouble in the


    middle of the night.


    However, the two of us pregnant women could not just sit there for the whole night. Hence, we went


    into the room to get some rest.


    It waste and both of us were tired. Wey down on the bed and fell asleep.


    Early the next morning, Jerome was still asleep when we woke up. We did not wake him up so that


    he could sleep off the jetg. We then left the hotel.


    I had breakfast with Cecilia first before we separated and went back to our homes.


    It was already nine o''clock in the morning when I reached home. Miss Woods would be out grocery


    shopping now. I went upstairs right away, nning to lie down on the bed for a while more.


    It was strange when I saw that the bedroom door was closed. Once I opened the door and entered


    the room, a strong smell of alcohol rushed to my face.


    The curtains that blocked out the light were pulled tightly. It made the whole room be filled with


    darkness.


    I had juste in after being exposed to the bright sun. My eyes were not adapted to the darkness


    yet. I could not see clearly, so I could only ask, "Theo, are you home?"


    He did not answer me.


    I groped for the window and pulled the curtains, letting a streak of light in. Theo was sitting on the


    sofa. He lifted his hand and covered his eyes, saying," Close it!”


    I drew the curtains. I had to switch on the lights to see clearly. He was wearing all ck, his hair


    was messy, and he was lounging on the sofa. A few empty bottles were scattered around the coffee


    table.


    "What''s wrong with you?" I walked toward him and picked up the bottles on the floor before putting


    them on the table. I squatted in front of him and looked up a t him.


    When I got closer to him, I realized he looked awful.


    His eyes were bloodshot and his dark circles were pretty obvious. He had dense stubble on his chin


    too. I n short, he looked gaunt.


    He turned his head. His deep, dark eyes fell on my face. He stared at me for a while, then he said,


    "You still remember toe back, huh?" His voice was deep and hoarse. It sounded like he was


    speaking after not talking for a long time.


    "I was with Cecilia! Didn''t I tell you yesterday? I''m sorry. I wanted to call you but my phone ran out


    of battery." I felt a little sorry for not calling him all night. It was indeed my fault.


    "Is that even a reason? Your phone ran out of battery but did Cecilia''s phone run out of battery too?"


    He looked at me with his cold dark eyes and sneered. There was a hint of mockery in his tone.


    I lowered my head and remained silent. Although it was not a big deal, it was still my fault, after all.


    "Wanda Lane, do you think I’m stupid or gullible? How many secrets are you still hiding from me?"


    He clenched his teeth with a disgusted look. It seemed that he was dying to gobble me up alive.


    I felt unpleasant. Even though I was hiding things from him, I was doing it for his own good. I did not


    want my troubles to distract him or bother him.
