The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1303

I looked at him with a complicated gaze. In just a few days of not seeing each other, I could see aging and weariness on his face. Even his starry eyes had grown a little dull.

I felt sorry for him and subconsciously raised my hand to stroke his brows.

"Have you been very tired lately?" I asked softly.

Theo held my hand, his gaze softening considerably. "I'm okay. I've gotten used to it."

I suddenly realized that I had never really cared about how tired he was. I lay in his arms and tenderly asked, "Do you think that I'm an unqualified wife, Theo?"

He stroked my hair, a little surprised by my sudden question. "Why do you say so?"

"Just asking."

'Wanda, don't ever doubt yourself. Humans take time to grow. Not just you, but it's the same for me too."

I nodded and listened to his heartbeat, feeling particularly at ease. "Why don't you live in the Schumans’ place too? The project hasn't been completed yet. I'll still have to make a trip back after National Day. I know Grant Corporation has lots to handle. Even though I can't be of any help, I can at least make sure you have dinner waiting for you when you come home. I can massage your back before you sleep at night.”

He pulled me away from his arms and cupped my face, asking with a smile, "So, I'm kind of indebted to you?"

I smiled slightly. "According to my family's tradition, we're a family once we're married. There’s no such thing as being indebted.”

"Glad to hear that. Otherwise, I’d get even madder at you.”

I widened my eyes. "Who's making you mad?”

"Are you saying that you’re not bullying me?”

I’m not!"

I would not admit it even if I was.

Theo embraced me with a face full of smiles.

Keith pursed his lips, looking reluctant to tell me anything.

He thought about it and eventually said," The things I found aren't very important. Don’t be anxious, Mrs. Grant. We have to take the long road for this."

He left after saying that.

The more he refused to tell me, the more my suspicion was confirmed that the string of strange incidents happening in the research institute was more complicated than it seemed.

Since Keith refused to tell me, I had no plans to press him about the matter. If he could solve the problem, then why should I bother getting concerned about it?

Theo woke up half an hour later.

When he walked out of the lounge, I asked with a frown, "Do you want to sleep a while more? How can you have enough sleep in such a short period of time?"

He came over to hug me and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I can't sleep well when you’re not around."
