The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1248

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the crowd in the distance in a daze.

When one was a certain age, one would prefer to live a stable life.

A person would always need a home, family, and friends no matter what.

Theo and Cindy looked cheerful when they returned.

The two had bought a lot of good food. Theo sat down beside me and handed me the ice cream in his hand with a smile. "Try it."

I tasted it and commented, "It's too sweet.'

"If you don’t like it, then don't eat it.” Theo got up and threw the ice cream into the trash bin.

I looked at him and said with an indifferent tone, "It’s getting late. We should go back."

I got up and walked forward as I said that.

I did not say anything on the way and merely listened to Theo and Cindy quietly.

When we got back to the accommodation, I turned around and looked at Theo." Shannon and I are staying together. You should stay in another room."

I quickly walked into the elevator after saying that.

I was both tired and sleepy. I wanted nothing but to go to bed immediately, which was why I did not want Theo to stay in the same room as me. I feared that I might not be able to stop myself from arguing with him.

When I got to the door of the room and had just opened it, a man ran inside before me.

I was startled and took several steps backward. "Who are you?”

The lights in the room lit up. It was Theo.

He glanced around to check if there was someone else in the room before asking me, "Didn’t you say that you're staying with Shannon?"

I frowned. "I'm staying with her, but she hasn’t come back."

I walked into the room after saying that.

As I did not want to argue with him, I changed my clothes and planned to wash up before bed.

Theo walked into the bathroom with me and embraced me from the back. He rested his chin on my shoulder and asked with a smile, "Are you angry?"

I shook my head. “No, I'm just a little tired.”

I was too tired to get angry at him.

"Go wash up, then.”

"Mm.”

After washing up, I climbed into bed and got ready to sleep.

Theo grabbed a set of pajamas and walked into the bathroom. After coming out, he climbed into bed and embraced me. “You're upset.”

I allowed him to hold me. “As my husband, Theo, you're very unqualified after what happened today.”

Although I did not want to argue with him, I felt uncomfortable bottling up my grievances. Hence, I still could not stop myself from voicing my displeasure toward him.

Theo kissed my forehead. "How am I unqualified?"

I said a little grievously, "You shouldn't have left me alone in the square and left with her for so long."

I understood that he felt obliged to take care of Cindy and pamper her like his sister. I had long gotten used to it.

However, I still felt uncomfortable seeing him interacting so intimately with Cindy.

Theo chuckled and said a little helplessly," I saw that you were tired, so I didn't bring you along. Besides, I arranged my men to be around you.”

I pursed my lips. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed.”

I could not proceed with the conversation or he might think that I was being

overdramatic.

Theo held my hand. "Are you jealous?"

I chuckled and pretended to say nonchalantly, "You already said that you’re merely treating her as your sister, so why should I be angry?"

Theo gently sighed. "It's my fault. I'll pay attention next time and put you first no matter when. I promise to be a qualified husband, okay?"

I was a little curious. "Why are you suddenly going back?"

Theoretically speaking, she should be wherever Jordan was, so why was she going back alone?

“I've been here for several days now and have toured the whole place. I've tried all the local foods too. It’s too boring to stay here all the time. I'll go back to the city to ask Nina and the rest out. Let's hang out when you return to the city."

Shannon would surely feel bored staying here all the time. After all, none of us had time to keep her company.

"Okay." I chuckled. "I still have work to finish, so I won't be able to see you off. Drive safe. I’ll contact you when I go back to the city."

"Okay."

Shannon was in no hurry to hang up the phone. "I have a question that I must ask you. What's with Theo and that Cindy lady? Is she some sort of a crazy ex?"

"I guess you can say that."

"That lady may seem soft and gentle, but she's even harder to deal with than Elena. Are you fine by yourself?"

I smiled slightly. "Don't worry. Theo just treats her as a sister."

"It's precisely because he treats her as a sister that she's difficult to deal with.

Unlike Elena, Theo merely treats her as a

subordinate. She's not that hard to handle."

"Okay, I know what to do."

We then spoke a while more before hanging up the call.

Krayden appeared at my office door. “Have you eaten, Ms. Lane? If not, then let's have a meal together.”

I nodded. "Sure."

After leaving the office, Krayden said, "I heard that a third party has joined this project, so we might have to liaise with the third party after this."

There was surely going to be a third party in this project. It was just a matter of time.

I nodded. "Have everyone get ready, then.
