The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 228

"No way. If it’s related to Cindy Reed, I’ll always be the unfortunate one."

I had no idea what Theo felt for Cindy, but I knew one thing-he would tolerate her without limits. I knew it after experiencing Cecilia's matter, so I could not tell him about this.

“Damn it! Have you really married into a rich family? You're just a sitting duck in a prison cell." Jerome could not help but rant.

I was speechless. It was indeed as he had said.

Not long after, the car arrived at the restaurant.

Cecilia was already waiting at the entrance. She waved at us excitedly from far away. When the car had yet to park properly, Jerome could not wait any longer and screamed hoarsely, "Honey, do you miss m e?" Then, he ran toward Cecilia and gave her a bear hug.

Many people were waiting for seats at the restaurant's entrance. He immediately caught their attention, and i t was followed by screams.

Shane the Beauty was indeed living up to his reputation. He was like a superstar, always attracting the crowd's attention no matter where he was.

"Look, that guy is so pretty! His facial features are more defined than a woman's!”

"Is he a superstar? Look at how classy he is and his appearance! He’s not an ordinary person."

"Maybe, but too bad he has a girlfriend. And his girlfriend looks so plain. He's so handsome, he's completely out of her league."

"Right, she’s not even as pretty as you are. It looks like they're a lovey-dovey couple. Can you tell me why good -looking people are always like this? They'll always go for someone uglier than them."

"What do you know? Love is blind. You think that she's ugly, but he thinks she's as beautiful as a fairy!"

"Now you know why we hated eating with you back then?"

Listening to the conversations behind, Cecilia rolled her eyes at Jerome angrily. "Every time we go out together, we're always the ones who get hurt. Why does a man like you have to be so pretty?"

"Aren’t their words nice? They’re saying that I love you a lot and love is blind. How wonderful is that?" Jerome did not care about this. He wrapped his arms around Cecilia and continued to walk forward.

"Come on, you're just an evildoer. The same thing happens every time I’m with you. Not only will we be stared at by the onlookers but they'll even compare us

and mock us."

"An acquaintance of mine." Jerome withdrew his gaze faintly. He looked a little depressed. I was surprised that he actually did not tease Cecilia back.

It aroused my curiosity, so I turned my head and looked out the window.

I was not surprised to see Xander. What surprised me was that he was wearing his sunglasses and a mask. I knew him well, but if not for his girlfriend beside him, I almost could not recognize him. However, Jerome was able to recognize him with one look.

"How do you know him?" Xander was not in the same university as us.

"Not only do I know him but I'm also close to him.

Back in the days..." Jerome shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not continue talking.

"I didn’t expect you to have a story with a superstar. Hurry and tell us about it. Was it an abusive love that you can't afford to stay in, or were you the jerk who kept making things ambiguous and dumped him to travel abroad?" Cecilia leaned closer to him with a gossipy face.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo. These are the complicated thoughts of the mind of a kid in an adult’s body." Jerome turned his head and looked outside the window. He watched Xander and the woman disappear around the corner.
