Sherry read the title of the newspaper and checked the photos that were taken secretly as she tried to calm down.
She turned to look at Jeremy, swallowed and said, "Don't be angry. Calm down and listen to me."
"I am listening!" he replied, but his tone was still as irritable as before.
She could easily guess what was going to happen next. Even though he said that he would listen to her explanation, he was furious.
"I was with Steve because of Linda. She likes him. How can I allow her to be with a man like Steve? I only did this to make Steve promise that he would not badger Linda anymore,"
Sherry tentatively explained. She just had to.
After all, he had done so much for her in the past few days. Her heart was not made of stone. She was still moved by his actions.
A cold smile crept on Jeremy's face, as if Sherry had just said a joke which was not very funny.
"Sherry... Do you think I'm stupid?" He squinted at her, disappointed and angry.
Sherry immediately shook her head and continued to explain frantically, "I swear it's the truth!"
He swiftly grabbed the newspaper from her hands and threw it into the backseat. Then, he grabbed her neck from the back and forced her to come closer to him.
"This was all for Linda? It's such a ridiculous excuse! You couldn't come up with anything better than that? Why do you trample on my love, Sherry?"
he roared at her; her eardrums almost shattered. She closed her eyes to resist the anger in his face.
"No! I didn't mean to..." she stammered, shaking her head. "I really did it for Linda. Steve and I made a deal."
"Then, what about all these photos? How can you let other men treat you like this? Are you willing to accept men like Steve?"
He put his forehead against hers roughly. His loud, hoarse voice made her head hurt.
"I don't know. I was set up!"
He quickly let go of her neck, got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
As soon as she was free from his grip, she took a deep breath. But then, she saw Jeremy pulling off his tie as he walked towards her side of the car. He yanked open the door with all his strength.
"What are you going to do?" She looked at him in horror.
Without saying a word, Jeremy grabbed her left hand and tried to get her other hand too.
Aware of his intention, Sherry flinched backwards and slapped him instinctively with her free hand. "Don't do this!"
But he clenched both her hands and used his tie to bond her.
"Let go of me! How can you treat me like this?" Sherry tried to kick him, and her high heels almost made contact with his leg.
"I can treat you any way I wish! I'm your damn husband!" He dodged her attack and her heels fell off.
He used the other end of the tie to pull her out of the car seat.
Before she could even stand firm on her feet, Jeremy s
! I love them all so much!" Sherry blurted out.
Jeremy glared at her.
Sherry gave a cold smile and continued to taunt him, "Jeffery is a simple and kind-hearted man, and Chester is gentle and considerate. Steve likes to please me as well. So, I like them all.
But I don't love you. I hate you so much. Every moment with you is miserable and I'm disgusted by your mere presence!"
"Shut up!" he roared and raised his hand in the air.
"What? You want to slap me? Go ahead! Do it! You always do what makes you happy. This is no different!"
Jeremy didn't slap her, but her words cut through his heart like a rusty knife.
At that moment, the phone in Sherry's pocket vibrated.
Although her clothes were a mess, her phone was still in her coat pocket.
Sherry was stunned for a moment. She was about to grab her phone when she saw Jeremy lift her coat up from the ground. He took out her phone from the pocket.
When he saw the name on the screen, his face darkened. "It's from Chester. Do you want to answer it?"
Sherry was shocked. When she was about to speak, Jeremy threw her phone in a parabolic motion, high in the air!
"No!" Sherry yelled, as she watched her phone land far away from where they were.
Jeremy still sat in front of her and looked at her coldly.
She glowered at him. "Why are you torturing me like this?" she asked in a low voice. This was the second phone he had destroyed.
Just a phone call was enough to make him go crazy!
"I will torture you till I am the only one in your heart, and you dare not look for another man!" Saying so, he stood up and put on his clothes.
Sherry struggled to sit up and shouted angrily, "Untie me!"
When Jeremy stopped, she was relieved. But then, she heard him say, "You stay here and reflect on your behavior."
He left without looking back.
Sherry yelled furiously, "Jeremy, come back!"
