The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 247

The more I thought about it, the more excited I got. Since I was not sleepy anymore, I got out of bed and thought about going downstairs to look for some chestnuts that Miss Woods had roasted a few days ago. I wanted to curb my cravings since they had a similar flavor profile.

I sneaked out of bed so that I would not wake Theo. After the struggle, I was tired and sweaty. Alas, he was in such deep sleep that he did not stir in the slightest.

As I was just going downstairs, my phone vibrated. When I took a look at it, I saw that it was a message from Cecilia. [Wanda, I can't sleep. I'm suddenly craving the walnuts from our village.]

It was said that if two people had been living together for a long time, their thoughts would sync. I really believed it now since I did not expect us to have the same cravings at this hour. How astonishing.

Without even thinking twice, I called her. "You've craving food from our village too? Man, I was just thinking about my mom’s roasted sweet potatoes. I’m craving them!"

After hearing my voice, Cecilia was especially surprised. "Wow, you’re still awake! I'm lying on my bed and I can't sleep. I suddenly thought of the

walnuts we had when we were younger, so I texted you to tell you about it."

"Hehe, this is why we're besties! To think that even our cravings are in sync!" I laughed.

"I suddenly crave all the foods we used to eat in our village." Perhaps because Cecilia was pregnant, her cravings were strong as well.

"Me too, but too bad we can only dream about them. W e won’t be able to taste them ever again. I heard that part of the land has already been redeveloped. The fruit trees that my mother planted would all have been dug out by now." I felt a little sorrowful.

After chatting with Cecilia for a while more, I hung up and headed to the kitchen.

Then, my phone rang again.

I thought it would be Cecilia, but when I saw Tyler's name, a pang of irritation welled up within me. What did he want from me at this hour?

Initially, I did not want to answer it but the phone would not stop ringing. I answered it and snapped." It's late. What do you want?”

"Are you craving the roasted sweet potatoes from our village?" His voice was cold but carried a trace of humor.

I was shocked. I instinctively took a few steps back as the hand that was holding my phone trembled. "You bugged my phone?! Are you crazy, Tyler Schuman?!"

"Don’t make it sound so crude. I just want to know what you’re up to and what you need," Tyler drawled casually.

"You mean you couldn’t sleep when you were with me but you could sleep here when you were alone?" Theo cocked his eyebrows as he clenched his jaw, which accentuated his jawline.

"No." I shook my head, my mood ruined by his tone. I said coldly, "I couldn’t sleep, that's all. And I didn't want to disturb you, so I came down..."

Theo saw that my expression was a little off, so he softened his own expression and sat on the sofa with me. He pulled me into his arms and said, "I'm only worried that you’re going to catch a cold after sleeping here. If you can’t sleep in the future, wake me up. I'll chat with you. You won't be disturbing me, okay?"

A warm sensation spread from the bottom of my heart. I felt a little remorseful for getting upset earlier. He was really accommodating toward me.

I did not speak anymore and snuggled closer into his arms while nodding my head slightly.

Miss Woods had prepared breakfast. After we were done eating, we drove to the graveyard. We left early s o the weather was not as stuffy yet. The rain last night made the air seem fresher. The scenery along the way elevated my mood and spirits as well.

When we were hiking on the hill, Theo held all the things in one hand and held my hand in another. He was following my slow pace, and we took our time.

A 20-minute walk was prolonged to a 40-minute one. When we arrived, I stared at Grandmother's grave from afar. However, the person standing in front of Grandmother's headstone made my expression fall.
