Having noticed that Theodore remained unmoved, Abby forced some teardrops out of her eyes, her lips quivering. "Theodore, since we were together and then engaged, all my friends have come to know that I've slept with a man. If you call off the engagement, how would I live with the shame? I've given you my virginity. How am I supposed to find another man willing to marry me?"
Theodore finally raised his eyes which then narrowed. "Abby, as far as I know, you'd had several boyfriends and slept with them all before you were with me."
Abby widened her teary eyes. She stood there speechless, looking straight at Theodore.
Abby didn't understand. How did he come to know?
She had been studying abroad before she had sex with him. Theodore had not known her yet at that time. The two spheres didn't overlap at all.
Later on, Abby had fallen in love with Theodore and severed ties with those boyfriends of hers. Theodore was the only one she loved.
