The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1187

I was stunned. "You didn’t try going to the hospital?”

Shannon gently sighed. “He refuses to go. When I want to do it, he'll be fine with it at first but something would get to him later. He’ll back out at the last minute. I've thought about it and figured that this could be a psychological problem. But I haven't gotten a clue about his past and don't know how to start asking him about it. This irritates me a lot."

I thought about it and said, "Maybe you can try asking Lally. She worked alongside Frank Fredericks for many years before this and surely knows a thing or two about Jordan. Maybe she has the answer that you want.

Shannon nodded. "I'll find time to ask her, then.”

"Do you think it's because he once loved a woman and ended up getting hurt by her, which left him with psychological trauma? Why else do you think that a rich and handsome man like him isn't married yet? Also, why isn't there a single woman around him?”

I twitched my mouth. “Aren't you a woman?”

Shannon rolled her eyes. "Before this, I mean."

"I suggest you stop making wild guesses and just ask Lally about it.”

One would not find the reason by making wild guesses.

After a long silence, I said, "I’m blessed to have met Theo. Although I suffered greatly i n the first few years, he loved me all along, using his silly ways to treat me better. After learning about his intentions, I stopped doubting if he'll one day stop loving me. He has given me a sense of security when it comes to loving me, so a woman really needs to find a man who truly loves her."

If love was not enough from the beginning, how could love be enough once it was consumed by the mundanity of life?

“That’s why I envy you.”

Shannon smiled. “Actually, I’ve not dated anyone before. I had classmates who were dating at the time but I found them to be childish. Later when I saw that everyone had started dating, I wanted to try it out of boredom. But I was too picky and no one could capture my interest.”
