Capítulo 36: Don't Overreact

Amelie's entire body shook with frustration. Richard's question was not only ridiculous but also unbelievably rude and provocative. What was he trying to achieve by asking her something like that? Amelie had no desire to play into his hand today.

"How is it any of your business whether I flirt with other men or not?" she retorted.

Her question seemed to add fuel to the fire.

"It is my business because you are my wife, Amelie."

'There it is again,' Amelie thought as she looked at her husband's serious face, which she could no longer recognize. 'He is doing it again,' she mused. 'He tries to stick his nose into my personal life while his own life is all over the place.'

She couldn't fathom Richard's erratic behavior. She might have understood if they were in love or if he hadn't brought another woman into their home under the guise of friendship. But neither was the case, and that made his words all the more ridiculous.
