The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1427

I looked at the landlord and spoke indifferently, “The couple is old. Do you still have any rooms on the first floor?”

The woman was in a trance for a moment, then she looked at me and asked, "Of course, there is. Do you want to rent it?"

I nodded with a cold attitude. "Why don't you help them put their things in first? I'll be sure to pay you more.”

She looked at me and at Theo, then wore a smile on her face as she deftly packed up the things for the couple.

Amelia's mother looked at me with a reddened face. "Mrs. Grant, you've helped me enough. We really can't—" "Don't worry and stay here. Ma'am. Don't think about anything else. Settle down for a period of time. Things will get better."

I was not very good at comforting someone, nor did I know the best way to comfort her, hence I could only say so.

The landlord moved the couple’s things back. When she came out, she said to me with a grin, "Ma’am, I’ve moved their things. Is there anything else that I can do?"

I smiled slightly and took out my purse from my bag.

Giving her some money, I said mildly, "This should be enough for the couple to stay here for a period of time. I'll also need your help to watch after them next time. Rest assured that you'll be paid accordingly."

After taking the money, the woman was grinning from ear to ear while showering us with compliments.

As I had given her all the cash in my purse, I looked at Theo and hinted at him silently.

Theo helplessly smiled and took out his wallet from his trouser pocket. He gave it to me.

If he had not mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that we only had a bit of oatmeal for breakfast. Our stomachs had been empty until now. Thinking about it now, I realized that I was already starving.

I turned back to look in the direction where Amelia's parents lived. They must be hungry too.

Theo knew about my worries and held my hand with a smile. "Don't worry, I’ve already asked someone to deliver them food. Don't think about them right now and instead think of what we're going to eat."

I thought about it and said, "Let's just randomly look for a restaurant near our place. It's late, so let's not go downtown.”

Theo sighed and squeezed my palm lightly, saying helplessly, "Do you remember what we were supposed to be doing today?”

I nodded. "We'll go some other time since there’s no rush.”
