The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1025

I tried to push him away but he held my hand down. The man’s voice was low and hoarse. "Where do you plan to push me to? How far do you plan to push me away?"

My heart suddenly throbbed. I failed to get the words out of my chest and allowed him to plant scattered kisses that carried a hint of punishment all over me.

In the dark, tears could not help but well up in my eyes. I spoke in a hoarse voice, "I never knew what poppies were like. I've only heard others saying that they're beautiful but have never seen them for myself. But I saw them just the other day. They're indeed beautiful, but they're also very dangerous. Because once you get hooked, you can never quit.”

After a pause, I continued, "You’re just like this kind of flower, Theo."

The man stopped moving, still sounding like he was short of breath.

Even though I could not see his face clearly in the dark, I was able to guess his expression.

He asked, "Why did you go there?"

His hands were tightly fastened around my waist when he asked the question as though he was afraid

that I might suddenly dash off.

I was still thinking of ways to reply but could not think of a reasonable answer in the end, so I could only helplessly say, "I accidentally went there.”

The man frowned. "To hide from me?"

I pursed my lips, not denying it.

Maybe it was better to let him misunderstand. After all, I had already thought it through. If I could not give him a better future, then I would have to ruthlessly push him away.

He buried his face in between my neck and asked." Who did you go with?”

I did not know how to answer this question. After thinking for a very long time, I answered, "You should ask me who I came back with.”

Theo let out a self-deprecating smile. "What do you mean by search for a life of our own? Just because you can let go of everything and leave, you think everyone can do the same too?"

I pursed my lips, not wanting to listen to what he was about to say because I feared that I would not be able t o control myself from rushing over and embracing him, telling him that I did not want to leave and I could not do it at all.

However, it would be too selfish of me if I did that.

Upon returning to the private room where Shannon and the rest were, everyone turned to look at me at the

same time.

Shannon rolled her eyes at me. "What took you so long? Are you constipated?"

I speechlessly glared at her and sat back down, saying, "I met a friend and we chatted for a while."
