Chap-173*Someone Is Jealous*

Cynthia Dion: I walked past him into the room, and I heard him rushing after me. I was as mad as a bull, really angry, and somewhere inside, I knew that Thea had lied to me. She was hiding something, and I couldn't get her to spill the beans. "Wait, Cynthia!" Atticus kept calling my name, but I went into the room without even looking back to catch a glimpse of his face. I slammed the door and started pacing, but in just a few seconds, Atticus came in. He closed the door, stood in the corner for a bit, and then cleared his throat. "You told me I could do anything," he said again, which made me stop pacing and close my eyes to calm down. "And? I told you to go and do it now as well, or did I say something totally different from before?" I looked him in the eyes, still pretty upset, and he shook his head in disbelief. "Then why are you so mad?" He crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe, watching me without blinking. "Oh! You thought this was about you?" I laughed sarcastically.
