The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1846

It was not clear whether Theo's reason for informing Nicky was the same as mine, but when Nicky returned, I could not tell anything from her face. She was still as calm as ever.

I did not step forward to ask her about it either, and things were like this until the end of work.

I was in the same car as Nicky. Perhaps it was my overthinking, but I kept feeling as if the atmosphere between us was a bit weird today.

My twinkling eyes fell on her quietly, but Nicky's own were facing out the window. She looked as if she was thinking about something.

I could not stand this kind of atmosphere, so I broke the silence first. "Nicky, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing my voice, Nicky turned and looked at me. She smiled before going to her usual expression. "It's nothing. My parents called me just now. They might be coming to see me in a bit."

"Is that so? That's a good thing. You haven't seen your parents for a long time, no?"

I envied Nicky for still having her parents. As for me...

My dust-covered memories were torn open again as I recalled the sandalwood box that Jackie had taken away. It was something my mother left to me, yet I.

Thinking of this, I sighed and turned to look at Nicky. "You must cherish your time with your parents."

Nicky knew more or less about my

situation, and her gaze was apologetic. "I'm sorry, Wanda." "It's fine. You can bring your parents over to the villa when the time comes, it would be more convenient that way."

"Oh no, I don't really want them to come here." Nicky's voice was a little low.

I could not help frowning while looking at Nicky suspiciously. "Why not?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became solemn again. Nicky reached out and touched the scar on her face, and her lips were pursed tightly.

I seemed to have understood something." You didn’t tell them you were hurt?"

"Madam, Miss Doyle, you're back. Let's eat first. The master said that he’ll be back in a while."

"Alright."

I had dinner with Nicky first without waiting for Theo, and not long after, he also returned.

We went back to our rooms after dinner.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, I looked at Theo who was looking through documents behind me in the mirror.

Thinking of the incident between him and Nicky in the office this afternoon, I could not help but ask.

"Theo, what did you say to Nicky this afternoon?”
