Chapter 1700 I Only Wanted Some Personal Space
But, why are they sleeping in separate rooms?
Davin sighed when he noticed how Evan and Nicole were looking at him with puzzled expressions.
âT-Thereâs a good reason for that,â Davin said.
âA good reason? Bullsh*t! Whatâs your reason, huh? Fooling around with the b*tches?â Sheila exclaimed angrily.
âY-Youâre talking nonsense! The reason why I slept in the guest room in the first place⦠Wait, no. Hey, werenât youâre the one who asked me to sleep there?â
Davin tried to argue back, but obviously, he lacked confidence in his voice.
âYes, I did. But it was only for two nights! And what did you do? You kept sleeping there one day after another, and itâs been half a month!â
âI-Iâ¦â Davin stammered as if he wanted to say something but held himself back.
âNicole, Iâm telling you! Heâs really mean! I wouldnât have suspected him if he hadnât acted so strange!â Sheila glared at him before turning to Nicole.
After that, she turned to glare at him again, especially when she recalled why they started sleeping in different rooms.
âThat night, we had a little disagreement because of Zaydenâs performance in school. And at one point, I threatened Davin to sleep in the guest room if he made me mad. I merely blurted it out, but he took it seriously. The next moment, he quickly grabbed his stuff and scrambled to the guest room as if I was about to eat him!â she said.
Nicole turned to look at Davin before turning back to Sheila. âWhat happened next?â
âWhen I saw how eager he was to go to the guest room, I dared him to sleep in the guest room the following day. I never expected that heâd really go and sleep in the guest room the next day! After that, it was as if he was addicted to sleeping there and didnât want to return to our room!â
Davin was at a loss for words as he looked at Sheila.
âThe reason I didnât want to go back to our room and sleep there is that I feel ashamed to go back. I didnât answer your questions correctly back then. How could I have the face to sleep in our room?â
The moment Davin stated that, Sheilaâs anger suddenly spiked.
âUh⦠You came up with a question for him?â Nicole asked with a puzzled expression.
âNicole, donât listen to him. Heâs blurting nonsense! Oh my God, I can really feel that the volcano within me is about to erupt when he mentioned the question! Heâs definitely pissing me off on purpose!â
Huh? What?
Nicole and Evan were still confused by Sheilaâs reaction.
âUm⦠Are you saying that he answered your question with a super creative answer to brush you off? Nicole asked.
âWhat? No. If he did that, I wouldnât be this angry,â Sheila replied while taking a quick glance at Davin.
âWhen he didnât go back to our room after a few days, I suggested that if he was able to answer my question correctly, Iâd let him go back to our room. So, I asked him the answer to five plus five. And, you know what he said? H-He answered eight!â she continued.
âPfft!â Nicole couldnât help herself from laughing despite the tense atmosphere.
Itâs obvious that Davin didnât want to go back to their room!
Evan was taken aback as well. But, knowing Davin⦠This feels like something heâd do.
âThen?â Nicole continued to ask.
âAfter that, I changed the rule. I told him that he could go back to our room if he answered the question wrongly! So I asked him the same question again. What do you think he answered? He blurted out the number ten instead of eight!â
Sheila took a deep breath before continuing, âHe was so happy to tell me that he answered it correctly and that he can continue to sleep in the guest room! I was completely baffled by what happened! He had just answered eight earlier, and now heâs saying ten? Like, what? Itâs obvious that he didnât want to sleep with me! What do you think? Wonât you think that somethingâs wrong with him?â
Nicole and Evan looked at Davin without saying a word.
Davin coughed. âEvan, I-I only wanted some personal space for some time. How could something be wrong just because I didnât sleep with her on the same bed? Besides, many middle-aged couples also sleep in separate beds! Itâs very common! Think of it as being a loving husband and wife in the day, and when itâs nighttime, we are amicable neighbors.â
âDavin, you want to be neighbors so badly, huh? Fine! Have it your way! Letâs get a divorce this instant!â Sheila shouted.
âSheep, can you please stop talking about getting a divorce over small matters? Weâre just sleeping separately. Thereâs no need to go to that extent, right?â
âOf course we do! You are a fickle and unfaithful husband! I want to get a divorce!â
