The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2266

The next day.

The three of us packed our luggage and headed to Joen.

Joen was only 300 kilometers away from Whaldorf City, so we drove there directly.

We arrived in about four hours.

We went to our pre-booked homestay and checked in.

Munchkin looked exhausted after spending such a long time in the car, so we went to our rooms to rest for a bit before heading out.

The owner of the homestay told us while we were making our way out, "You guys came just in time. There’s an event happening in the primeval town nearby tonight. You guys can go shopping."

"Okay, thank you."

There were really activities going on when we arrived at the primeval town.

Colorful lanterns had been hung up in the alleys, and people were coming and going. The place was lively.

Munchkin’s eyes shone when he saw the snacks on the side of the road and dragged us over.

"Don't eat too much. Save some space for dinner," I reminded Munchkin.

He narrowed his eyes at me and smiled. "Mommy, this will be the last one."

The owner of the homestay recommended a restaurant in this primeval town, saying that it was the best restaurant here. Hence, we went there.

I chose a window seat and sat down. From here, I could see a bridge outside.

"Lover’s Yard Bridge, a rather poetic name." I caught a glimpse of the name glowing on the bridge.

The waiter was pouring us some water when he heard me say that and added, "You’re a visitor, yes? There’s actually meaning to the bridge’s name."

"Oh? There's a story?" My interest was suddenly piqued.

He nodded and then shared, "There didn’t use to be a bridge here. About 30 years ago, a couple moved here. The wife thought that it would be better with a bridge here, so she paid for the bridge’s construction. The bridge is named after her and her husband."

"Then we ought to ask the people who have lived here for a long time. They would know."

Theo hummed softly before answering, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we’re done eating."

"Alright."

Although I agreed, I still could not get that thought out of my mind. Hence, my mind wandered when I was eating.

"Wanda."

Theo's voice brought me back to my senses. "Eat properly. Otherwise, Munchkin will laugh at you."

What he said drew my attention to the bits of food left on my plate. I looked at Munchkin and noticed that he was smiling at me. "Mommy, please eat properly."

"Okay, I understand."

I put aside the thoughts in my mind for the time being and focused on eating. I had to get to the bottom of this after this.
