The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2021

"You went to investigate Heather?"

He sounded calm, but I felt like I was chained by long-standing shackles. I was already struggling to move, and now, I could not move at all. It was like I had been caught again.

My eyes flickered slightly, and Driver caught it immediately. He put his hands in his pockets, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "I was right."

This affirmative tone was the same as his firm expression.

He seemed to know where I had gone today.

Having guessed that, I looked at him before opening my mouth and softly asking, "You sent someone to follow me?"

He laughed in a low voice before turning around and taking a few steps toward me. "You've been talking to Marius about Heather these few days. You think I didn't know about that?

"Say it! Why have you been asking about her?!" He growled these words after turning his head to glare at me.

Uneasiness flooded my heart again when he glared at me. Now that he knew everything, I might as well spill everything and be honest with it.

Thinking of this, I said, "I want to help you deal with the knot in your heart. I want to know what the woman you care about is like. Is this enough?"

I said this very seriously, and my expression was solemn as well. This was all to express my sincerity to Drover.

His head was bowed in thought. I wondered what he was thinking about.

Taking a few small steps, I saw the thoughts floating in his head. He looked up at me after a while. "Do you really have no other motive?"

"What other motives can I have? I have nothing to do with Heather. I wouldn’t try to learn about her if it wasn't for helping you with that knot in your heart. I just don't want you to live in the shadows of the past." I looked at him, wholly sincere.

Drover finally let go of his defenses and returned to his usual gentleness. His expression changed slightly and his voice was soft, "I'm sorry, I wasn’t being very nice just now."

I shook my head and smiled. "It's nothing, I understand."
