Chapter 116 The Only Way to Treat Jealousy

“Theo?!”

This time, I almost spat out the small amount of liquor in my mouth. I patted my chest until the coughing stopped.

Heat climbed up my face as I thought about the nights in the past week. Every night, I was in Theo's bed and every night, he was so... vigorous and demanding!

He had been eager to explore my body in different ways, and all I could do was give in to the extreme desires and plea- sure under his lead. Once I even questioned him whether he really was a virgin like he claimed himself to be. How else would he seem so experienced at it?

"I'm just that gifted!" he claimed with a mysterious and proud smile.

Now I knew why. So... it turned out that he had asked Jake to do the dirty work for him?!

I pinched the bridge of my nose.

Should I have a conversation with Theo for the sake of Brook and Jake's relationship?

Brook was so worked up now, I didn't think she remem- bered I was there. She was in full-on rant mode.

"Why did he have to make up such obvious lies? We all know that King Theo is single, and he has no interest in wom- en whatsoever. There were a few girls who tried to seduce him

Touchet and he didn't even spare them a glance! I didn't mean you, Ciana. You're a different case."

"I..."

"I know he cares about you. You're his friend and he re- spects you, but it's not like you guys are together!"

Jake probably hadn't told anyone about Theo and I, and I appreciated that. After all, with everything going on, I wasn't sure it was the right time for us to publicize our relationship, but Brook was someone I could trust to keep a secret.

I probably should let her know that Jake most likely wasn't lying.

But Goddess, how could I even start to explain this?

Should I really just be blunt with Brook that Theo and I had been making love and he probably did ask Jake to do this... assignment?

I felt my face was burning hot. Thankfully, Brook didn't notice that. Even if she did, she would think it was due to the alcohol.

"Um...Brook, there's something I want to tell you..."

"Don't stop me. I know you'll try to defend Jake because he is your friend too! Honestly, I couldn't believe it! I wish he was just honest with me... It's not a big deal if... he wants to read porn, but why would he make up such a lie?"

"Brook, just take a breath..."

Brook took her champagne from me again and took a gentle sip. It seemed like talking about things had allowed her to calm down some.

"I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation. I can ask Theo about it, if you want," I offered, deciding to leave this subject like that.

This is our problem, and we need to figure it out! You're already kind enough to hear me vent, and you have a lot going
