The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 162

I pursed my lips, my indignation apparent in my voice and my eyes as I said, "Why? We're all pretending to be pitiful. Did the performance fail because of my acting skills or because of my lines?”

I did not get it. Why could Cindy get away with it every time she used this method, but I could not?

He smiled as he patted my head and said, "You’re fine the way you are, so why would you need to imitate someone else? How could you still be pitiful when you've got me now? There's no need for you to pretend to be anyone else. All you have to do is be yourself.”

His words made me suddenly realize that I should not hide my real personality when facing Theo. It would b e best for me to be as sarcastic to him as I liked and argue with him whenever I wanted.

Some people were well-suited to scripted acts, but I was not one of them.

Feeling listless all of a sudden, I broke away from his embrace and collapsed into sleep.

"No, you can’t sleep yet. Your hair hasn't completely dried,” he said as he lifted up my head and placed it o n his lap, where he continued drying it with a towel.

"I’m very sleepy. Just dry it with the hairdryer!" I said

with my eyes shut.

"Hairdryers damage your hair. Just go ahead and sleep if you want to.” As he spoke, he adjusted my head into a more comfortable position and reduced his movements so I could sleep in peace.

I was tired after being tormented the entire night, so I fell asleep quickly.

Theo woke me up at nine the next morning and said h e was taking me to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup.

Feeling extremely tired and sleepy, I did not initially want to wake up. However, I forced myself to get up when I remembered that my child was long due for a checkup.

After breakfast, I went to the hospital with Theo and underwent a series of checkups. The doctor said the fetus was developing nicely.

I could not help but heave a sigh of relief. This child had gone through so many difficulties. Every time I bled, I feared I was going to lose the pregnancy.

Thankfully, the child had been safe each time.

Theo patiently accompanied me for the entire trip. Moreover, unlike the last time we went shopping for clothes, he did not try getting special treatment. This time, he obediently complied with the hospital's every request.

While waiting, he did something unprecedented. He began a discussion with the men around him. He did not usually enjoy talking, so it was truly a rare sight.

I had heard him arguing with Theo, and even more importantly, I thought I might have seen the person who kidnapped me in his car.

He and Theo had worked together for many years now, and Theo had a lot of trust in him. If he had betrayed Grant Corporation, it would be a huge blow to Theo.

I waited at the cafe for half an hour before Zedd walked in, a sullen expression on his face. "Are you getting too bored nowadays? Why did you want to meet me?"

With that, he reluctantly slid into the seat opposite m e, impatience evident on his face.

I had long gotten used to his attitude, so his words did not hurt me. As I poured him a cup of coffee, I said," Come on, I'm your second brother's wife. Do you really

hate me that much?”

He huffed indignantly and turned his head the other way, refusing to speak to me.

"Do you hate me purely because of Cindy Reed? I don't understand you. No matter how much you want to help her, the truth remains that Theo and I have been married for three years, and we have a kid on the way. You're going to be his uncle. Could you really bear watching that child be born into a world where he doesn't have a dad?"
