The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2645

I could vaguely sense that something was not right when I noticed Theo’s hastened footsteps. Come to think of it, things had been unusual ever since he met Neil for the first time.

Although I suspected he was being jealous, his behavior was not the same as when he was jealous.

When I turned to look back at where I was just now, I realized Neil had already walked away as well.

I stopped and looked at Theo's back before calling out to him, "Theo."

Theo’s steps halted as well when he heard me.

I approached him and stood before him, stating, "He left."

"Yes,” Theo replied apathetically as he looked at me calmly with one hand in his pocket.

I lowered my eyes slightly and questioned in a soft voice, "Why?"

"Let's go back." Theo did not answer my question.

"Alright."

He led me toward the exit as soon as I agreed to his suggestion.

However, even after getting in the car, he did not start it for a long time.

"Why not let me drive this time?”

Although Theo's expression appeared composed, I could tell that his mind was in shambles at the moment.

Not hearing any objections from him, I opened the door and immediately got out of the car. Then, I opened the door to the driver’s seat and signaled for him to switch places.

Theo got out of the car and into the passenger seat. Meanwhile, I grabbed the slippers I had prepared earlier from the trunk and slipped them on once I got into the driver’s seat.

Subsequently, I slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.

Silence permeated the car the entire journey to the point of eeriness.

His response was blunt, and it was this decisiveness that made it all the more perplexing.

"Since both of you have just gotten to know each other, why do you already dislike him? He has helped me a lot and is my friend. It’d be undue for us to avoid him like this," I expressed my thoughts slowly while carefully observing his reactions. However, he still remained aloof with nothing else showing on his face.

With that, the car was once again silent.

As we were arriving home soon, I parked the car on the side of the road, wanting to have a proper discussion with Theo about this. I turned to look at him and waited for his answer.

A moment later, Theo glanced at me with dark eyes. "You’ve gone through so much. Are you sure you can guarantee that he’s a good person? Are you sure there’s nothing strange about someone who appeared by your side out of nowhere, protecting you and yet not expecting anything in return?"

His sudden interrogation left me dumbfounded.

I recalled the first time I met Neil. We met back then because Silas had sent people over. When Neil appeared, I was moved. I wondered if that had been a coincidenceor if he had something to do with Silas.

"You probably don't even know his family background. How can you be sure that he’s not aiming for something?"

At his further questioning, my throat bobbed slightly in an attempt to answer, but the answer eluded me. "I..."
