The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 311

After getting into the car, I leaned back in the seat and let out a sigh of relief. "I'll get tortured to death by this little thing in my belly even before the due date.”

Theo buckled his seatbelt and reached out his hand to caress my face. "You poor thing.”

I slightly rubbed his hand with my face. "You should reward me well when the time comes."

"Sure." Theo looked like he was about to spoil me.

I did not know why but my mind suddenly thought of those words Cindy said earlier at the entrance of the dining room. I panicked a little. "Theo, you must protect our child."

Seeing that I looked a bit off, Theo's brows furrowed into a tight frown. He asked out of worry, "Are you okay?"

"It's n-nothing." Maybe I was overthinking.

Theo saw that my face had turned a little pale. He sighed lightly, unbuckled his seat belt, and pulled me into a hug. "Don't worry, I’ll protect you and our child well."

I nodded lightly and buried my head in his embrace.

We held each other for a few minutes. Theo then let go

of me and started the car. "Cindy's birthday celebration is in a few days. You'll have to cooperate with me and reject the invitation."

"Why not?" I asked with one brow raised.

Theo smiled. "You're about to go into labor. I need to b e by your side at all times apart from my working hours. Otherwise, I'll be worried about you."

I scoffed. "It's more than half a month until the due date. You don't have to be so excited."

"No." Theo insisted. "I'm still worried."

No one could persuade him when he was being stubborn, so I did not say anything.

I laughed along as well. "One more thing, I haven't been able to contact Cecilia recently."

"You don’t have to worry about her. She's in the countryside. I managed to call her before this. Someone will contact me if something happens to her." Jerome’s words gave me relief.

Everything had already been said and I did not want t o take up too much of his resting time. We talked for a while before ending the call.

Theo was listening to the conversation beside me the whole time. He chuckled as he said, "Seems like you

didn't make a friend like that for nothing."

I nodded in agreement. "He’s a very good friend."

When the car reached the villa, I was so sleepy to the point that I could not even open my eyes. Theo carried me to the bedroom. I was too lazy to even bother to wash up, so Theo got a towel and helped me wipe my face. I fell asleep a few minutes later.
