The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1924

Drover shifted his gaze and focused on the lake.

After a while, he continued, "It's okay. We can talk about it when you want to talk about it."

Immediately, a hint of gratitude emerged in my heart.

"Thank you," I said softly but earnestly.

There was no more conversation between us until Marius came back from his walk somewhere. He interjected us. "What are you guys talking about? I wanna listen."

Before I could say anything, Drover replied first, "You won’t even understand it."

Marius pursed his lips. He turned to me and snickered. "Sis Wan, you're the best.

Quick, tell me. What were you guys talking about?"

My mood had improved a lot during the time I was out. I glanced at Marius. "We were talking crap about you. Are you sure you want to know?"

"What? You guys are so mean. You talked crap about me when I wasn't around?

Forget it, I’ll take it as you guys are jealous of me."

I had to say, Marius was really open-minded.

I was indeed jealous, jealous of his optimism and indifference.

Marius looked at his watch and looked at me with a reluctant expression. "It's getting late. Sis Wan, you definitely have to head back now, yeah? I'll really miss you."

Go back?

Where could I go back to?

My eyes darkened. I pursed my lower lip, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing me like this, Marius responded, " Don't tell me you got into a fight with Theo and ran away from home?"

This man was so blunt.

The direction he was driving in seemed to be similar to his office's. There was no one along the way, and there were only a few buildings. His home was probably like his office with a lot of high-tech things buried in it.

We arrived after a long ride.

Standing in front of a small villa, Drover smiled and said, "Go in."

"Thanks to you, I can go in and have a look around again today. You have to know, it’s been three months since I came here the last time." Marius winked at me.

This made me even more curious about Drover's villa.

The entrance utilized a dual recognition program using fingerprint and face. Only Drover could enter. Marius, his good friend, was not allowed entry either.

Drover seemed very guarded.

As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the sight in front of me.

The lights were not on, but bright light came into view. It was similar to that of an underwater world. We were surrounded by corals, gems, and more, yet these were not real...
