Loving A STRANGER 182 Chapter 182: Taylor's Doub

"While we were talking, I peeled an orange and fed it to him slice by slice, as he often asks me to do, and I sat beside him to watch The Tea Maiden. The show was about halfway over when Aiden arrived home and, when he saw what we were watching, he was very surprised. He said that the show was geared towards young people, and they are not for fogies like Matthew and I. He was equally surprised that we'd be watching a program that featured Khloe's archenemy, Kylie Finch.

"Mathew pretended that he didn't know that Kylie was on the show, but Aiden didn't believe him at all. He pointed Kylie out to Matthew and explained what a b.i.t.c.h she was. I could see why he might not have recognized her, though. In the past, she'd been known to wear a lot of make-up and dress outlandishly. Now though, she did not wear make-up, and she dressed very casually. With her good looks, she looked more like the girl next door that a debutante. Once I pointed that out to them, Mathew acknowledged that he recognized her, but he said that he didn't care. He liked the show, so he would watch it.

"With that settled, Matthew turned to Aiden and asked him why he wasn't at work. Normally Aiden did not come home so early in the day. He was a sales manager, which meant that there was always a ton of work to be done and not nearly enough time to do it in. Aiden explained that, while there was a lot of work to do, he'd clocked out early because he had something important to talk about with us.

"As I suspected, Aiden wanted to talk about his marriage to Khloe. Of course, Matthew didn't want to. He was trying to watch The Tea Maiden, and he was getting frustrated with us for interrupting his time. Also, he doesn't like Khloe, so he saw no reason to talk about it. Aiden knew how Matthew felt about Khloe and that he wasn't going to budge on his opinion, so the conversation seemed pretty pointless. I feel he really doesn't want to talk about Khloe.

"I was mad, though, because I thought Matthew should, at least, hear what his son had to say, so I walked over to the television and pulled the plug. This made Matthew very angry. He called me crazy. He acknowledged that it was Aiden's prerogative to marry whomever he wanted, but that didn't mean that he had to go along with it. He told me to plug the television back in. When I refused, he went upstairs and, very soon after, I heard the television in our bedroom turn on. I don't know why my husband seems to be interested in watching the drama series. 

"I wanted to go after him. In fact, I was gearing up for a fight, but Aiden urged me to let it go. He said that Matthew would not change his mind, so there was no good reason to start a fight with him. He was right, of course. We chatted for a bit and then Aiden said that he was going for a walk and he asked me if I'd like to join him. I didn't, and I told him so. I just wasn't in the mood, and he understood.

"After he left, I went upstairs to check on Matthew. His door was slightly ajar. I had planned to just go in, but then I heard him talking on the phone, and I decided to eavesdrop for a bit first. Right off, I knew that he was talking to someone about The Tea Maiden. He said that he'd watch the program, that he liked it very much, and then he asked the person on the end of the other line what they'd like as a reward – this, of course, made me very curious to know who he was talking to. I want to figure out what is really going on. A lot of negative thoughts are running in my head and doubting him to have an affair with Kylie. 

"After hearing these few words, though, I found that I no longer wanted to see or talk to Matthew, so I turned and walked away." 

David went silent for a while then suddenly he said, "Why didn't you talk to him and clear things out? I'm afraid to say this, but I think you're accusing him without any evidence," 

"I don't know, and I felt mad this time!" Taylor said. 

"Loosen up! Your overthinking! What if you're wrong?" 

"Is that so? Then, how can you explain his sudden change? He is not a big fan of drama series and thinks about this, and he is a busy person?" She hissed. 

"Do you think Kylie would choose your husband?" He asked back.

"Who knows that that woman is a wh.o.r.e, she even successfully seduced Ethan!"

"You are too biased. In my opinion, Kylie has a busy schedule recently; how can she able to meet your husband?"

"Did I sound stupid to you?" 

David shrugged his shoulder, "You should ask it yourself. Or should I say you're only doing this for Khloe? Your son hadn't announced his engagement yet, and obviously, there's the reason behind it. Remember, Khloe never had a good reputation too, yet, you still wanted her to be a part of your family?"

"Then what should I do? Aiden seems eager to marry that woman," 

"Find the solution to it. Perhaps, talk to your son!" 

She was lost until David left.
