Chapter 171: Handling Alone
"You’re not wearing the shirt I chose," Marcella said. She wanted to see his reaction.
She felt like a fish out of water not knowing what he was thinking. If he had something to say, he could. Why was he not saying anything?
She regretted asking the question seeing his reaction. She had never seen him that angry. She feared he might hurt her. His eyes were red and the nerves on his forehead were popping, his jaws were clenched and face was twitching.
"I lied, Tony," she said.
She didn’t want to run away. She had made it her principle to not lie to him and she was not going to break it because he was mad.
"Beth was in this room. She made all the mess. I am sorry. I couldn’t refuse her when she was excited. It was my fault to break our promise. I... It might appear that I prioritized her, but I love you the most. I understand why you are mad. I knew you have important papers in the room and yet~"
"We are going out," Tony interjected her.
The anger on his face subsided. He hid the photograph behind his back. He had no reason to get mad at her. She was not the one at fault. That woman dealt with him and he will deal with her directly. There was no need to involve his wife in this.
He didn’t care anymore. He didn’t want Marcella to get hurt by that woman. He had decided to protect her even if she didn’t need protection. It was his duty as her husband.
He had already a little softened seeing her wearing the same dress she wore for their ceremony. She must have planned a lot and everything had gone to ruins.
He didn’t want to dwell on it. The day was not over yet. They can still have their fun.
Marcella looked at him with her eyes wide. "Out?"
