Chapter 53

Andrew was really heart broken that he wanted to just leave her there but he decided to play along and ask her more questions to which he would work hard to investigate.

"You mean you spent the night at a hotel?

Why then did Joseph tell me he took you to his family house?

She looked sturned. 

Andrew hadn't even planned to talk about his discussion with Joseph but he needed to know.

Anna opened her mouth to quickly defend herself but she could not find the right words.

She was lost for words.

She stood up and walked towards the door as if to say she was leaving.

"Why are you so quiet my love? 

His questions were making her heart boil not with anger but with fear.

She had too many questions she wanted to ask.

She also wanted to just tell him right there but anytime she opens her mouth, she just couldn't find the right words to express herself.

She felt like a criminal caught in the act.

"Why did youlie to me?

Why tell me you spent the night at a hotel when you spent the night at his house. Did you think I was going to fight him?

This was her chance to say the truth but she still decided to lie.

"I didn't want to get him into any trouble. He was very nice to me and since I was the one that asked for help I don't want to get him into trouble"

"So you asked him to take you to his family house?

He asked trying to match her words with that of Joseph.

Since Josephhad told him that she wanted to run away where no one would find her so he suggested to take her to his family house instead so that they would be able to reach her but now it seems she never even planned to run anywhere.

"Well I didn't know where to go to except going to a hotel. Joseph said I shouldn't waste resources on a hotel when I could stay at his family house"

That was the only truth she had told and it felt really good, but Joseph was confused.

He couldn't tell who was lieing to him.

"Who were you talking to on the phone when I walked in?

Now Anna was not happy and she could not be answering his questions anymore.

"Are you trying to boss me around now?

Because if that is what you are trying to do I am not going to have it.

Her voice was no longer shaky. It was firm and angry. Andrew could tell she was angry but he remained calm and still wanted to know. There was no way he would give up on knowing the truth.

"I am sorry I am not trying to dig you up I just want to know. You have been distance since you came back I want to know if something else happened while you were away with Angel or if it is me. I just want to know please tell me.

"Well there is nothing to tell"

She finally said.

I don't want to have this discussion with you anymore.

But then before she could open the door to leave he asked the question that he had been trying so hard to suppress but couldn't.

"Are you cheating on me?
