I didn't apologize as I planned to because of her words. I wanted to refute her, but after thinking about it, I knew, if I said it, we would have another long argument tonight.
I felt tired, so I just shut up and went to the kitchen.
She wasn't going to give up but followed me.
"Why don't you speak? Did you cheat on me?! Stephan, how can you do this to me?"
I put down the food and asked my colleagues to send me the meeting minutes and photos.
Stella shut up awkwardly and hugged me, saying, "I'm sorry. It's because you didn't reply to my messages."
I laughed out of anger and wanted to open my phone to show her the calls I had made to her.
As soon as I turned on my phone, I saw the photos sent by David. The photo showed a restaurant with warm decorations. There were steaks on the table.
Stella noticed my reaction. She looked up and saw the photos on my phone. Her breath was choked, and she explained hurriedly.
"The takeaway at noon didn't taste good. I was so hungry that I went to eat with him."
I was silent for a while, turned off my phone, nodded, and continued to prepare the dishes.
"Go out since you're full. Here doesn't smell good."
