Until the End of Time (Urban) Book 6 | The Sideline Series

Chapter 15

***Just because it says that Lindsey's throwing up, doesn't mean that she's pregnant. Lol The minute somebody gets sick, you guys automatically assume they're with child. And IF she did so happen to get pregnant, it wouldn't be Jordan's baby. She never did the do with Jordan. She only did with John. BUT I never said that she wasn't pregnant, she could or couldn't be. 

***And Teddy and Victoria are in an abusive relationship. People said they weren't, but abuse isn't always physical. Abuse can be verbal (in their case) emotional, or mental, but abuse isn't always physical.

 

Victoria

        It had been days since Theodore and I saw Pastor Michael's. I guess he didn't call Daddy, because I didn't even get a  call from him or Mama about the therapy session. After a long day at work, all I wanted to do was collapse on my bed the minute I got home. I pushed my bedroom door open and found Theodore laying in the bed and Charlotte sitting in a chair next to him. I expected Theodore to be here since he's got food poisoning just like Lindsey had, but why was Charlotte here and what was she doing in my bedroom alone with my husband?

        "Excuse me?" I asked as I entered the room.

        Charlotte looked away from Theodore for a quick second before sending me a smile. "Sshh, he's sleeping."

        "Why are you in here then?"

        "Because I've been taking care of him all day. I made him some soup before you got here and was trying to feed it to him but he fell asleep on me," she laughed. "He barely touched his soup though because he said he didn't want anything to eat, but I insisted that he put something on his stomach so he can start getting better. And I gave him some medicine too, so he should be good."

        "Thank you, but I'm sure if he was really sick, he would have called me at my job and asked me to come back home and check on him."

        "Well he wasn't extremely sick today. He's getting better."

        "And how would you know?"

        "Because I've been nursing him back to health for the past few days since you haven't been here. Lindsey's doing better too."

        "I know she's doing better because I've been nursing her back to health."

        "Not during the day though, I've been helping her."

        What was she trying to prove? was she trying to prove that she was a better wife and mother than I was? What was her sudden fascination with trying to be better than me? I've been the one helping Lindsey, T3, and even Theodore get better. "Instead of trying to help my kids, why don't you go help your own?"

        "Because my kid is perfectly fine."

        I scoffed. "Anyways, look, while I'm not here I don't want you coming in this room, especially when Teddy's in here."

        "Why? Nothing's going on."

        "I know you and I know how you like to seduce men and I don't want you seducing my husband while he's sick. The only woman he needs in his life is me. I can take care of him and our butler can care for him while I'm at work. I don't mind you asking how he's doing, but that's the only communication you can have with him, period. If you have any questions about the house or anything like when your rent's due, then you can come to me."

        "Rent? Teddy's not making me pay rent."

        "Theodore," I corrected her. "And he may not, but I'm a partial owner of this house and I refuse to have two additional mouths to feed, additional hot water and electricity being used on, and somebody renting out rooms in my house for free for an extended period of time. You're going to pay rent, or you can get out of my house."
