The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1270

The bodyguard nodded. "He's been following you from the moment you walked out of the cafe."

"Did you tell Theo about it?"

"I did."

I pursed my lips and asked no more.

The bodyguard received a call. He took out his phone and glanced at it before handing it to me. "Mr. Grant has something to say to you."

I shook my head. "Take me back."

The bodyguard froze. Although he was put in a tough spot, he still took me out of the alley eventually.

The sky was completely dark when I got

home.

The villa was pitch-black, which confused me. Theo's car was parked out in the yard. Why did he not switch on the lights if he was home?

I switched on the lights and saw Theo sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He heard my return but did not turn back to look at me.

It was obvious that he was angry.

After changing my shoes, I walked upstairs.

I glanced at him. The man's countenance was grim, and his charming face was full of anger.

He looked at me as well. Our eyes met. I wore a blank expression and averted my gaze indifferently.

Just as I was almost at the bedroom door, the man caught up with me.

He grabbed my arm and asked in a cold voice, "Why didn’t you answer the phone? Who’s that man who followed you?”

My clothes were soaked. I was cold and tired. I was lacking energy too, so I did not want to talk to him and merely replied blandly, "My phone ran out of battery. I guess you can say that he's an old friend.’

After saying that, I pulled out my arm from his and walked into the room.

I went to the closet to grab my pajamas and headed for the bathroom, planning to take a shower before going to bed.

Theo, however, stopped me at the door. "I hope there'll be no cold wars between us, Wanda.”

I looked up at him and asked, “Don't you see that my clothes are wet? Can you let me take a shower first?"

Theo froze before hurrying to say, "Hurry up and take a shower, then."

I pursed my lips and hurried into the bathroom.

It was autumn now, so the weather was very cold when it rained. It was much colder when it was nighttime.

I felt dizzy after the shower and thought that I must have caught a cold.

Theo sat on the bed looking at me, looking very much like he wanted to talk.

I pursed my lips and blandly said, "You should take a shower too."

"Okay."

When Theo entered the bathroom, I blew my hair dry and wiped my face.

I planned to wait for him at first, but my eyelids grew heavier, so I went to lay down on the bed. I fell asleep in no time at all.

When Theo was done showering, he came out and called me a few times. I heard him but could not open my eyes.

When I woke up the next day, my head was hurting even more than last night. My throat was sore, and my cold had gotten worse.

Jordan nodded. "Sure. I happen to be going back to Whaldorf City too. As for the acceptance testing, you can go over it with Mr. Zimmer's employee. It's best if you can get an employee from Grant Corporation too. If there's a problem, each can solve the part they're responsible for in case it's too late for us to change once someone comes over to inspect the place."

Safety hazards were the most worrisome thing about this kind of project. It would be the holidays soon. If something happened during Regata Storica, then it would be a pretty huge problem. It was necessary to check everything before the holiday.

"Alright, I’ll confirm things with the two corporations today so we can go to the resort together tomorrow and check things out.”

When we were done talking about work, I asked him when he planned to return to Whaldorf City.

Jordan said with a smile, "I'll go back the day after tomorrow if all goes to plan. Since you're going back to Whaldorf City too, you have to fulfill your promise and hand me the sandalwood box."

"Sure."

When we were abroad last time, I had promised to give him the sandalwood box as a token of appreciation as long as he could take several of us back to the country.

Lately, due to work and personal reasons, I was not able to return to Whaldorf City.

Hence, I did not have the chance to hand him the box. I should probably hand it to him on my trip home this time.

It did not feel right to owe someone

something.

I recalled Franky and thought about it. I eventually said, "Be careful when you leave the house these days. Milan may be here. He’s a desperado and cares for nothing. I'm worried he'll take revenge on us."

Jordan suddenly stopped drinking and raised his eyes to look at me. "How do you know that he's here?"

I did not want to tell him that I had bumped into Franky, so I asked, “You know that too?"

"Mm." Jordan smiled slightly. "I have men stationed there. It’s impossible to not know."

"Anyway, you'd better be careful."
