The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1642

We went back to the hotel at night, and after dinner, I brought Munchkin up to our room first. Theo led the team and continued making preparations in the conference room the hotel had specially prepared for him.

I did not have the heart to interrupt him when he was working.

I thought that he would work until late at night, but he came back at around ten o'clock with his blazer and laptop in his arms.

Munchkin ran over to him in his pajamas before he could even button them up properly. "Daddy, are you finished with work?"

Theo smiled. "Yes.' With just that one syllable, I knew that he was not done with work.

"Alright, Munchkin. It's bedtime. No more delaying. Hurry up and go to bed."

I pulled Munchkin over to his small room and made sure he was fast asleep before exiting the room.

When I came out, I saw that Theo was already sitting in front of the table with his laptop open. Then, I walked up behind him and gently massaged his shoulders. "Didn’t you say you were done with work? How could you lie to a kid?"

Theo pulled my hand and said, "I have no other choice. It's how I earn money. Keith and the others looked too tired, so I let them rest. But I still think that it's better to prepare some things in advance."

I knew Theo. His capability was the reason why he was able to make Grant Corporation into what it was today.

It made sense that he would be worried about entering a new area as it was as if he was starting a startup, but he had to do almost everything himself to feel at ease. It made me think that he was worrying too much.

However, he was already in too deep. There was no way I could get him to relax, so the only thing I could do was to remind him to take care of his health.

"Alright, I won't disturb you when you're working, but promise me you won’t finish too late."

Theo nodded before kissing the back of my hand. "Don't worry, I’ll be there in a minute."

When I woke up, the movie had already finished playing. I picked up my phone and saw that it was already past two in the morning.

However, the pillow next to me was still empty. Surprisingly, I felt rather awake at that moment.

I pulled back the covers and got out of bed. Then, I carefully opened the door and tiptoed to the corridor. I leaned on the wall as I watched Theo work at the table.

Fatigue could be seen on his handsome face, but it seemed like he refused to call it a day. I wanted to go up to him and stop him.

It did not matter what this job would be able to provide for us in the future.

In my eyes, none of it would be worth more than his health.

I was about to speak up, but after giving it some thought, I kept quiet and retracted my foot.
