The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1167

Mr. Collins invited me to a meal?

I asked curiously, "Why is Mr. Collins inviting me to a meal?"

"I told him about you. I haven't had a lot of friends since childhood, so he's happy that we're friends. He insisted that I drag you home to have a meal together.”

I chuckled. “Okay."

Mr. Collins had mentioned my mother when we dined together last time. I could use this opportunity to ask him about Mother.

After hanging up the phone, Theo asked m e with a faint smile, "Shannon?"

I nodded. "She invited me to dinner at Mr. Collins’ house."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "Are you not planning on bringing me along?"

After a long silence, I shook my head. "I think it'll be awkward if you go. Besides, Shannon and I will be doing most of the talking. You'll only be bored waiting for me because you can't even join in the conversation."

Actually, the main thing was that I would b e asking about my mother. I did not want him to know about it yet.

Theo did not insist further and merely asked with a faint smile, "Have you ever had a crush on Jordan?"

I nearly bit my tongue after hearing the question. I widened my eyes and looked at him with some surprise. I asked, "What are you talking about? Shannon and Jordan are already dating each other. Don’t say nonsense like that."

Theo sneered. "You were the one who said : t last time. You said you thought that

Jordan was a good man and worthy of your affection.”

Gaily froze and burst out laughing. Seeing her smile, I realized in hindsight that I was just like a kid who had just finished quarreling with someone in kindergarten. I was being childish.

I helplessly sighed. "He keeps insisting that I have a crush on Jordan. God knows what's wrong with his eyes."

Gaily stifled a laugh and said, "You can just be honest with Mr. Grant, Wanda. He'll believe you. Getting mad won’t do you any good."

"Like he'll believe me."

I said grumpily, "He's a bird-brained strange species among other male chauvinists. He can tell that Shannon and Jordan like each other but can't see how hard Elena tries to butter up to him. He can't see that I have no interest in Jordan a t all either. All he knows is how to interpret things the way he wants to. It’s so infuriating."

Lally cleared her throat and patted my shoulder, saying, "Um, well, it's a hot sunny day, so it's best not to get so fired up or you might get sick. I still have things to do, so I'll excuse myself."

I frowned. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn’t you say that you wanted to go to the research institute? Let's go together.'
