Chapter 170: The Picture
Tony observed her. She was blabbering without even looking at him. She was working fast in cleaning up the room though. She was someone who couldn’t bear untidiness, after all.
Why would she allow that woman to cause such a mess?
Within ten minutes, the clothes were all replaced. She color-coordinates her outfits on the hanger and she knew where each dress went. He found that capability of hers a little scary. He would appreciate it if she lent that superpower of hers to help with his papers though. He loses track of where he kept his things.
Watching her, his anger reduced bit by bit. Although she was lying through her teeth, her eyes conveyed her true feelings. She was sad. He did not want her sad. He decided not to pursue this issue.
How many times has she forgiven him? The worst thing she did was to let the woman she thinks as a friend, inside their bedroom. Okay, he didn’t like it even if he put it that way, but he can let it pass. He can forgive her. Yes, she broke her promise. He made her promise for her sake and if she was not listening, then she would have to learn the hard way.
Still, he didn’t like her being a pushover for that woman. He hoped that she discerned the inherent evil in that woman without getting affected much. Whenever it was, she still had him. He was not going to blame her; he would lend her his shoulder, that day she gets her heart broken by that woman.
His mind reached peace when he thought along that line. He wondered how easy it was for her to forgive him and now understood how she could. Letting go of negative feelings is pretty liberating.
He picked up the squished flowers on the rug and took a look. He recognized those were her prized roses. It would have been better if she had left them on the plant itself. Too bad they got ruined.
Marcella got the flowers from his hand. When she threw it in the trash, he saw the pain in her eyes. She was not pleased with everything, he could understand. He had a feeling that she would not let that woman inside their bedroom again.
Sometimes, pain is needed to learn a lesson.
Tony hugged her. She didn’t hug him back but leaned on him. He gently rocked her and kissed her head.
"I’ll take a shower. Go, change," he said with a smile.
She looked terrible probably because she was feeling bad for lying to him. He couldn’t help but smile. Was she the same girl who used to lie so fluently to her father? Now she grew conscience because she lied to him? How cute!
Marcella nodded. Picking up his towel, Tony walked to the bathroom. He never locked the bathroom door as he would want her to join him each time but he locked the door that time.
Marcella heard the door locking. It was weird for her. She had a feeling that Tony knew that she was lying. She double-checked if she had kept his change of clothes in his view. She had already placed a tie matching her outfit there. Considering the situation now, she wondered if he would be willing to wear a suit.
Well, she wouldn’t know if she didn’t try.
She picked up her clothes and went to another bathroom. Mary came upstairs at that time. She was surprised Marcella was about to use anoher bathroom. Marcella shrugged at her.
She wouldn’t blame her husband. It was her fault.
Tony finished his shower and came out. His lips curved to a smile seeing the suit where she usually keeps his change of clothes. She pampered him so much. He saw it while entering but thought that she would have hidden it. She must have wanted them to have a romantic dinner at home and hence the suit for the evening.
He had no problem wearing a suit again. Anything for his wife!
He picked the shirt she chose and when he opened it, something fell. It looked like a photograph. It had fallen upside down and he picked it up. His lips curved.
What surprise have you planned for me, Birdie?
The smile on Tony’s face disappeared almost immediately as he took a glance at the picture. He averted his eyes and his first instinct was to tear up the photo. He also wanted to kill that woman with the Jezebel spirit. He wanted to wring her neck and watch the life leave her eyes.
He was raging mad.
What was she planning on doing by leaving this picture here? Was she trying to seduce him or to cause trouble in the marriage? Whore!
He almost crumpled the photo but he needed that photo to show to his wife. Let her know who her friend was. He placed the photo down. He didn’t even doubt whether she might take it wrongly and accuse him. He knew his wife.
He wanted to ask her why she was fine with another woman leaving her naked picture in his shirt.
He didn’t want to wear the shirt anymore. He threw the shirt down. He was so irked looking at the shirt, he avoided stepping on it. He didn’t like to touch anything that was touched by that woman.
He got madder. He couldn’t believe he married a dumb woman.
Has she no care? Does she not care another woman wants to come between them? How can she be this dumb?
He called Mary and asked her to do a deep clean of their bedroom. The sanctity of their bedroom was compromised by a dirty whore. He couldn’t allow it.
Marcella took a quick shower and applied her makeup. She wore the blush dress she wore for the wedding ceremony. She wanted to change the mood around. Not everything she had planned had gone to ruins. She still had the dinner and the cake she cooked.
She didn’t know if Tony was still mad. She hesitated before entering the room. But gathering her courage, she entered. She had decided to tell him the truth and apologize. She didn’t think it was right to lie to him.
Her heart fell when she saw him not wearing the shirt she chose. She gulped standing in front of him. He looked mad and her heart ached.
This was not what she wanted on their first wedding anniversary.
