The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2353

Back at the villa, I brooded, not saying anything.

Not long after I entered the room, I heard a sound from outside the door.

He was back too.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, I took out a cotton pad and wet it slightly with makeup remover before wiping my face slowly.

Theo opened the door and came in. He saw me taking off my makeup.

"You went out?"

He asked in a low voice. His voice was hoarse, probably because he had just returned from driving and had the windows down.

I nodded and replied, "Yes, I went out for dinner with Shannon. Guess where we went?" I kept my hands moving, but my gaze had fallen on Theo who was reflected in the mirror.

He pulled off his tie, put it aside, and then sat down. He looked like he was resting.

"What did you eat?" he asked me directly without any desire to guess.

Theo's uninterested expression came into view. My eyes dimmed, and I asked tentatively, "Do you have something on your mind?"

As if hitting the nail on the head, I clearly observed a look of shock on his face. It had been quick, however, as his expression again returned to one of indifference.

"Why are you asking that so suddenly?"

He asked back instead of answering me.

Pursing my lower lip, I shifted my gaze slightly toward my skin-care products. I dropped the piece of cotton pad and picked up another one to wipe my make-up off, but this time, my actions were heavier.

"You don't look well, so I asked out of curiosity." I pretended to be casual, but, in fact, my heart was already overwhelmed.

Theo raised his head and looked at me. A familiar smile made its way onto his face. "It’s nothing, I'm just tired from work recently. Don't worry." A trace of indifference crossed his handsome face and reached me through his words.

If I had not seen him in that private room with someone else, I would have believed it.

Perhaps… I should just ask.

I opened my mouth, but I clamped back down on the words when they reached the edge of my mouth. It did not seem strategic to ask directly like this.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I switched up my words. "We went to a Western restaurant. It was quite delicious. They had private rooms too. It was great. We can go together next time."

Closing the door, I leaned against the door, feeling distraught.

Was she the reason why Theo had been behaving differently these days?

He did not even dare tell me that they had dinner together. What secrets did they have?

My heart suddenly clenched into a ball as my mind was filled with questions. It was like I had been enveloped by mist. I could not breathe.

I really wanted to open the door and ask him directly what was there that I could not know, but I did not have the courage in me to do that.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Wanda, you forgot something."

I glanced at the things I brought in, only to realize that I missed the most important thing.

Exhaling, I turned around, opened the door, and took the pants from his hand before shutting the door directly.

"Wanda, are you alright?"
