Chapter 117: San Jose Police Station.

Ivy was stunned at the confusion on Theresa's face but she shook it off, She wasn't buying it.

"What do you mean by that?" Ivy demanded, keeping her voice low despite the anger in it.

Theresa sighed and gestured to the seat opposite hers. "Can you please sit?"

Ivy eyed the chair before sitting down. "I am not falling for your act, T. Tell me the truth."

Theresa exhaled, leaning forward. "I swear, Ivy, I don't know what you're talking about."

Ivy narrowed her eyes. "But you admitted to cheating yesterday."

"With Hector, not Derek," Theresa admitted with a sigh. "I have no idea who Derek is."

Ivy blinked, not knowing what to process first as Theresa's confession settled inside her. "Wait, Hector? The hiking instructor?"

Theresa's cheeks flushed as she looked away. "It was stupid... I should never have called him." Then she raised her head, looking at Ivy. "I have deleted his number already, before anything happened. I am telling you the truth."

Ivy sank into the chair, her head racing. "Did you or did you not sleep with whoever?"

"I didn't," Theresa pressed her lips together. "But God I wanted to," she sighed, burying her head in her palm. "Though I pleasured myself with his picture."

"Theresa!" Ivy exclaimed in disgust. "I didn't have to hear that."

"I know," she said softly. "But I already promised to tell you everything."

"Oh God," Ivy groaned. "But why did you imply that you cheated?"

"Because I did," Theresa said and then looked away again. "You... you don't think of another man when you're married, let alone masturbate to his name."

"Ahhh," Ivy groaned again, her stomach stirring with confusion.

She stood up, her heart pounding wildly. "I need some air." And before Theresa could speak she went outside.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw Bud and Sylvia in a deep conversation.

Ivy stepped outside, allowing the evening breeze to cool her nerves. There was so much to uncover, and the fact that she had made a mistake, possibly accusing Theresa wrongly, made all the matter worse.

She bit her lip and began to pace around, hoping that would ease her. After a moment of pacing back and forth with her fingernails in her mouth, Ivy finally felt better.

With a deep breath, she made her way back inside the restaurant. Theresa was lost in thoughts and she jumped when Ivy sat down.

"I am sorry for reacting that way," she said apologetically.

"I don't blame you." Theresa gave a dry smile. "That was too much. I should have

told you before Hector did. I'm sorry."

Ivy's brows knitted together. "Hector didn't tell me anything."

Theresa's mouth twisted in surprise. "Then how did you know?"
