Chapter 111 The Conflict of the Couple
Hubert grabbed both of her hands and flung them hard to press against the sides of her head as he abruptly kissed her on the lips.
This kiss was not gentle at all.
It was as if he was venting his anger.
He was nibbling and biting her lips in a compulsive manner.
Teresa was so enraged by his behavior that she angrily bit his lip. Only after he felt pain when his lips were bleeding did he let her go.
While he was stunned, Teresa hurriedly pushed him away. He fell to the ground. She jumped up and took a few steps away, looking at him defensively.
Hubert slowly climbed to his feet and wiped the blood from his lips.
His face was grim.
"Hubert, What are you doing? Are you mad? A few drinks made you out of your mind?"
Hubert glared at her gloomily.
And he said coldly, "Teresa, let me ask you again. Were you really at Leila's house today?"
"I was at Leila's house..."
Teresa suddenly stopped.
Hubert sneered, "What, you remember it now? You and Ezra were having lunch at Nice to Eat. You two were talking and laughing. And you even passed him a dish. You and he were more intimate and looked more like a couple than us. Teresa, I told you, in our marriage, you should behave and don't cheat on me!"
"My patience is limited. If there is another time, you will not blame me for being unkind!"
Teresa kind of understood.
No wonder he had gone crazy after drinking.
So he saw her and Ezra having lunch together.
He thought she was treating Ezra as her backup. He suspected her and wanted to get back at her.
Usually, he guarded her like a pervert, but tonight... It turned out to be his male pride getting in the way.
She touched her lips, which were still a little sore from his nibbling and biting.
"You saw me having dinner with Ezra?"
Hubert didn't say anything.
"And you didn't see Gwen there? Why are you so dark-minded? What do you think of Ezra and me? He's the one I watched grow up. So to speak, I've always treated him like a younger brother. What's wrong with me passing a dish to my brother?"
"I have known Ezra for more than ten years. And with him, we did talk and laugh. After all, we've been friends for more than ten years! And I watched him grow up. Ever since he knew me, he has followed me around and treated me like his sister. I am indeed more relaxed and joyful with him than when I am with you."
"How long have I known you? It's only been a month. Even though we were married, we really haven't spent much time together."
"Hubert, as I said, I'm not looking for a backup. Ezra and I are just good friends. Believe it or not! And I don't need to explain it to you over and over again. As you said, as long as I don't cheat on you, we don't interfere with each other's private lives!"
After Teresa finished her explanation, she turned around and left, not wanting to deal with this egomaniac anymore.
He didn't even ask for clarification before questioning her and suspecting her of cheating on him. And because of his male pride, he got back at her by forcibly kissing her.
After a month together, how could she not find him with such a bad side?
Usually, he was aloof. But he was still very cultivated and well-mannered.
When she was in trouble, he would also accompany her to solve the difficulties.
But when she changed her mind about him and thought about trying to develop a relationship with him, he revealed his bad side and made her head shrink back.
Forget it. She should stop thinking about him. They were just a couple living together in name only.
When the time was up, they could go their separate ways.
"Bang!"
Teresa slammed the door hard. It was clear that she was furious with Hubert.
Hubert turned back to see the cup of honey water. He swept the cup of honey water to the floor angrily. The cup hit the ground and was shattered. The glass was smashed to pieces.
Teresa heard the noise in the room but didn't want to come out to see it.
He could smash whatever he wanted. The house was his anyway. It was his loss to break anything.
After spilling the cup of honey water, Hubert went back into the room. He rushed into the bathroom and put in a full tank of cold water. Soaking in the cold water, he tried to sober himself up a bit.
He did have a lot of liquor. But he was not completely drunk. He was rational. It was just that he tended to be impulsive after he had alcohol.
The lights in the hall were turned off by Teresa later.
She was saving him some money on his electricity bill.
That night, they both rolled over and couldn't sleep. They were both angry.
Teresa was angry with Hubert for doubting her.
Hubert was angry with her for being with Ezra. He was convinced that what he saw was the truth. Teresa said that she and Ezra had known each other for more than ten years, that she watched Ezra grow up, and that Ezra was her best friend Gwendolyn's cousin. Hubert believed that she had known Ezra for more than ten years.
She said that she thought of Ezra as her brother. But Ezra was not her brother. They didn't have any blood connection with each other.
Also, the way Ezra looked at her was full of hidden affection. Ezra loved her.
Did she really not know or pretend not to know?
In any case, Hubert could not get rid of the anger in his heart.
The next day, it was Sunday. Teresa went to the store early.
Usually, she wouldn't open the store on weekends.
Since she had a fight with Hubert, she was in a bad mood. She didn't want to face Hubert's serious and cold stern face, so she went to the store early.
She preferred to spend the whole day knitting crafts in the store.
Teresa, who was in a bad mood, didn't even leave breakfast for Hubert. She only made her own breakfast today.
By the time Hubert woke up from hunger, it was already after 10:00 am.
After he changed his clothes, Hubert was silent in his room for a long time before he came out.
He thought, 'This is my house. Why should I be afraid of Teresa?'
When he walked out of the room, he did not see Teresa. The house was quiet. The cup he broke last night was not cleared away. And the spilled honey water attracted a whole bunch of ants.
Hubert didn't even know where all the ants came from. It was so dense.
He went to the kitchen first and didn't see Teresa, nor did he see anything to eat. And Teresa was not on the balcony. Then, he knew she was out.
Maybe she was going to look for Ezra again.
Hubert looked gloomy and cold. Teresa did not want to see him. She thought he wanted to see her?
Hubert, who was still angry, brought a broom to clean up the pieces of the cup. And then, he finished those ants. After he swept them away, he brought a mop to clean up the floor.
After doing all this, Hubert grabbed his cell phone and car keys and went out the door.
Once he was out, he called his bodyguards and told them to wait for him downstairs.
"Young Master."
Seeing Hubert coming downstairs, the bodyguards greeted him.
Without speaking, Hubert walked straight to his Rolls-Royce that was parked downstairs. And when he got in, he ordered in a low and cold voice, "Go back to Honor Land."
The driver responded respectfully and started the car.
Steven, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at Hubert.
"If you have something to say, say it!"
Steven said hurriedly, "Young Master, Young Madam went out very early this morning and has not returned since she left."
Hubert looked indifferent and said coldly, "From now on, there is no need to tell me where she is going or what she is doing!"
Steven, "..."
Did Young Master and Young Madam have a fight?
