The only thing Nydia is thankful for at this point is that there are not many people here, only some staff.
“No, he’s my friend, I’ll explain the details to you at home.” Nydia said without condescension, she wore a mask and could not see her face.
Theo stood by Nydia’s side without saying a word or moving, he would not act rashly without Nydia’s command.
“Let’s go home first.” Nydia said to Jesse.
But Jesse continued to look at Theo, who stood aside, upright in stature, with only one pair of eyes showing, eyes in which there was no semblance of respect or fear for Jesse.
“Theo, you go first.” Nydia thought it would be better to let Theo go first.
Jesse, however, snickered, “What? Afraid I’ll beat him up?”
“We’ll go home first.” She gave Vergil a wink, they had to take Jesse back first now, they couldn’t let him have an attack here, or his reputation would be ruined.
When the time comes, someone will surely use this as an excuse to deprive Jesse of his power.
The good thing is that Theo has already left, Jesse did not let anyone stop him, only to look at Nydia’s eyes more indifferent.
“I’ve got the car, I’ll go ahead and get mine, I’ll see you at home.”
Jesse didn’t say anything, nor did he look at Nydia.
If it was before, Jesse would have let her take his car and let Vergil take her car, but not this time.
On the way back Nydia’s heart was panicked, she was so worried that she drove a bit distracted, several times almost hit other people’s cars, but it was safe to get home.
She was relieved to see Jesse sitting on the couch with a cold face and a worried look on Vergil’s face.
“Jesse, Theo is the one my father left behind.” She stepped forward and immediately explained, no nonsense, she had to explain things clearly in the shortest possible time, “He was saved by my dad when he was relatively young, then put him through school and trained him, he was grateful for my dad’s help and took on the responsibility of protecting me after my dad died.”
Jesse looked at her with eyes like a thousand year old well, the water cold to the bone and deep to the bottom.
“Nice story to make up, princess and knight?” He spoke, his voice mockingly sarcastic.
“No, I didn’t make up the story, I …”
Her words were interrupted, “Go to the study.” He dropped those three words and went ahead to the study.
When she entered the study, she saw Jesse set the wheelchair on the side and stood by the window himself, then he reached out and pulled the curtains closed.
The study was obviously large, but Nydia felt small, as if she was squeezed into a box, leaving her breathless.
“Unlock it.” Jesse spoke, his voice a rare calmness, not unlike his usual madness.
But such a perversity made Nydia even more uneasy, even a little afraid.
But she had no choice but to do as he said and unlock the door to the study, and her failure to do so would only further anger him.
The doctor had said that he couldn’t stand the stimulation now, and if he continued to stimulate, it would be very difficult to treat him once he was schizophrenic.
She tried desperately to calm herself down, she couldn’t mess up, if she did, the consequences would be imaginable.
“Jesse, I’m not making up stories, I can show you a picture of my dad and Theo together, picked up by my dad when Theo was twelve or thirteen years old, lived in my house for a while after that, then he went away to study, and after that he went abroad.”
Jesse put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the curtain, raising his eyebrows slightly, “A childhood friend?”
“No!”
“How long have you lived together?”
“About six months.” She answered truthfully, in her memory should be about half a year, then he went where she did not know, thought he had left, did not expect just sent out by his father to study and train.
“It’s been a long time …,” Jesse’s tone was tinged with a hint of exclamation, which made Nydia’s heart suddenly shrink.
What the hell does he mean?
He took out his phone and operated it for a while before looking at the screen and nodding, “It’s not bad looking, and nowadays it’s considered a successful career, so you can afford it.”
Nydia decided not to listen to his gibberish, it is better to explain what should be explained first.
“I found Theo when I saw the letter my dad left, and he’s been helping me ever since, and today we’re just going to see Oswald’s recording.” At the end of the sentence Nydia was a little powerless, because she knew what Jesse would say.
According to Jesse’s level of paranoia, he absolutely can’t stand Theo’s presence.
Sure enough, Jesse spoke, “So, you guys have been spending a lot of time together?”
“Last time, he was the one who helped you escape?”
A cold sweat had broken out on Nydia’s back.
She knew that in this instant Jesse had thought of many things.
“Right.” She could only admit.
Jesse’s mouth tugged up in a smile, his laugh breaking, “You’re divorcing me with the intention of staying with him?”
“No! He’s just doing things for me all the time because he wants to return the favor, there’s no love between us, don’t misunderstand.”
“You didn’t tell me about the existence of this person.”
“Yes, I didn’t tell you.”
“So, you don’t trust me, do you?”
He was still leaning against the curtain, his whole body seemed to be isolated from the world, and a coldness kept spreading from him.
“I don’t distrust you, if I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have given you all the things my father left behind, and I wouldn’t have told you all my intentions.” That was all she could explain.
But she was also aware of how feeble her explanation was.
Not telling him about Theo’s existence was a fact that couldn’t be changed.
Jesse stared at her without saying anything, except that look Nydia knew exactly what it meant.
He was saying: you didn’t tell me about Theo’s existence.
“Is it that no matter how I explain it, you won’t believe me?” Nydia instantly rose again that feeling of powerlessness.
Just when she was thinking about living with Jesse and not getting a divorce, she felt very tired and depressed after such a drama.
With him, there is no room for error, otherwise it is a shocking wave.
She has been through so much and actually wants to live her life in peace and quiet.
Jesse snorted, “I don’t believe you, but you don’t believe me, Nydia, don’t be too double standard.”
“Then what do you want?” Nydia regretted it as soon as she said it.
She should not provoke Jesse at this time.
“What? You asked me what I want?” He seemed to be mumbling to himself and laughing at himself, “That’s a good question.”
“Do you have an idea? You can say what you think, and if it’s good, I might agree.”
This kind of Jesse makes Nydia a little strange, she has become familiar with that frenzied Jesse, at this time Jesse calm some abnormal.
She looked closely at his eyes, but she didn’t see the scarlet either.
Wouldn’t have an attack?
“I have no idea.” She dared not say anything to stimulate him.
“No idea? Don’t want to get a divorce?” The curvature of his mouth was extraordinarily harsh.
The two people always kept a distance of two meters, neither of them took a step forward.
“Nydia, what did you two do during the two months or so you were missing?”
