What did he say? Jealous? Janet thought.
Janet was so furious that she laughed. She said, "Mr. Webster, don't flatter yourself. No matter what, I won't take a fancy to a stupid man."
The vague feelings in Nathaniel's heart were dispersed instantly. He threw the spoon back into the bowl with a clang. "Yes, you are right. I am indeed stupid. Otherwise, how come I didn't know that you were someone else after being married to you for three years?"
"Alright then. I'm glad we have reached a consensus. Now that you admit it, go and find yourself a doctor. Be careful not to be tricked again." Janet nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Janet stopped. She propped up her chin and looked at Nathaniel with a half-smile. "Wait. Why bother tricking you? A stupid man like you has no value at all."
Nathaniel was so furious that he stood up abruptly.
