The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2008

I tried his method, and it really worked. It actually felt much easier than before.

I thanked him with a smile. "Thank you."

He smiled back at me and said nothing.

Now seemed like the perfect time to talk.

Thinking of it, I slowly started with some embarrassment, "Uh, about that… I..."

Hearing the hesitation in my voice, Drover looked at me with a brow raised slightly. He had obviously guessed what I wanted to say and pursed his lips lightly before opening his mouth. "I was impulsive yesterday. I'm sorry."

He apologized first.

For a moment, I was stunned, then I shook my head and replied, "No, I should apologize to you. I just subconsciously hit you… It wasn’t intentional."

For someone like him, surely no one had ever slapped him before.

My thoughts were validated in the next moment.

Drover smiled lightly, amusement dusting the curvature at the corners of his mouth. "That was the first time someone hit me like that."

All of a sudden, I felt embarrassed at having my thoughts exposed. With an awkward expression, I smiled at him. "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."

He narrowed his eyes and shook his head twice. "It's nothing. I understand your emotions at that moment. You were scared."

"Come on, we'll be there soon. You won't be disappointed by the scenery at the top." Drover winked at me.

This made me look forward to it too. I also thought that it would definitely be beautiful.

Marius had been at the forefront the entire time, urging us from time to time. "Sis Wan, Drover, you two are walking too slowly like snails."

"Do you think everyone is like you, a monkey? Besides, I'm pregnant," I glanced at him and replied angrily.

Behind me, Drover also agreed with me. "Yeah, Wanda is right."

Seeing the both of us singing the same tune with smiles on our faces, Marius understood immediately. "You guys have made up. No wonder you two are echoing one another now. My brother, you truly are putting chicks before bros." He snorted coldly and put his hands on his hips. "Forget it. This camping trip was for both of you anyway. If you two have reconciled, then the goal has been achieved. Let's go to the top of the mountain together!"

He raised his hand and stretched it forward…
