Chapter 51: Husband Charming and Monster.
Dining hall, The Monster Mansion.
Critic Arley, Critic-Ishire.
Sitting in the dining hall, and having breakfast, Lydia is seated on her usual seat next to the head while Theodore is sitting next to her, leaving his seat, the head seat, leaving it empty because he had insisted on sitting next to her, and not having her on his left or right. He needed to be closer to her.
"Eat more vegetables so the lake won’t try to take you away from me again" he had insisted on his wife eating more vegetables to make her stronger and perhaps drown-resistant, Lydia wondered.
"You talk as if the lake is the assailant, the devil" she chuckled
His eyes would widen if they could "Because it is, it almost took you away from me" he spoke through gritted teeth.
"I fell into it Theo, it didn’t drag me, also I have plans for the lake" she added, eating more vegetables, she never hated it, he just made it seem like a punishment, making her convinced he is the one who doesn’t like it. She narrowed her eyes.
"Plans I hope you can carry out without having to be anywhere near it" he sounded defeated even without a fight because he knew he was wrong.
She glared at him, her eyes knowing "Of course I have to be near it"
A silence ensued, Theodore had it on the tip of his tongue to ask of Red but he would cut Hound a million times rather than make his Gooseberry uncomfortable, he would also hate if she lied to him.
"You have been looking at me as though you have something to let out" he pointed out, it had begun when he threatened to end Mira.
