Chapter 34
His humiliation felt like a slap, and all my expectations vanished, leaving me feeling both aggrieved and angry. My heart throbbed in pain. My eyes turned red, with tears welling up. I turned my face away and looked outside the balcony, suppressing the pain in my heart and trying my best to hold back the tears.
Having recovered from the grievance, I looked at him and asked, “Am I such a person?”
“Yeah!” he said firmly.
It was another heavy blow, and I felt as if my heart had been ripped out. In anger, I questioned, “So, do you mean you can fool around and indulge in vices while I can also be restless and seek pleasure? Shall we continue to maintain this non–interfering marital status?”
Kaleb’s face instantly turned cold, his fists slowly clenching and his voice deep. “You’d better dismiss this thought”
“What are we now?” I was so aggrieved that I was about to cry, my voice becoming even softer and weaker. “We’ve been married for two years but slept in separate rooms all along. Do you have a psychological problem or a physical problem?”
Kaleb’s face darkened suddenly. He stood up and walked over to my side, grabbing my arm and pulling me up. The sudden physical contact caught me off guard, and I nervously looked up at him, asking “What are you going to
do?”
Kaleb looked down at me, his Adam’s apple slightly moving and his voice becoming hoarse. “You don’t go to work early in the morning and complain to me. It’s just because you don’t have a sex life. I can satisfy you right now.”
I panicked and quickly broke free from his grasp, nervously stepping back. I was so anxious that my calf hit the chair behind me, causing me to stumble and fall backward. Kaleb acted swiftly, reaching out and grabbing my arm again, pulling me back. I threw myself into Kaleb’s arms, my hands resting on his muscular chest. Through the thin shirt, I could faintly feel his slightly higher body temperature and the subtle fragrance that filled my breath.
After stabilizing myself, I moved my hand off his chest and propped it on the table, cautiously taking small steps backward.
