The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 423

Cindy had found my sore spot. She was right. I could not bear to have her plague my life and marriage forever.

It was also true that if she did not give up pestering Theo, he would not leave her. I found that infuriating and disgusting.

Cindy saw the change in my facial expression and smiled. "If you let go of this matter, I promise to leave Theowy alone. I’ll never contact him ever again. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

I scoffed. "That sounds really good, but what if you shamelessly come looking for Theo again after your mom is out of trouble? What would I be able to do about it then?"

"I swear..."

"Save it." I sneered. "Your words are worth nothing."

Cindy’s expression changed.

I got up from the sofa and walked toward her. “Cindy Reed, I don't mind continuing to hurt each other our whole lives. If you continue to gross me out your whole life, you won't be happy either. Besides, you'll just be known as a mistress. Wait, no, you won’t even b e considered a mistress. At most, you're a sticky band-

aid. If that’s the case, I think you’ll have it much worse than me."

I saw Cindy's face grow pale, and I smirked. "Cindy Reed, why can't you be a little smarter? With your current family background, you’ll be able to get any guy you want. Zedd Nichols is both charming and rich. He only has you in his heart, so why are you rejecting the happiness that's right in front of you and choosing to step into the muddy swamp? Why can't you just choose to live more comfortably in the short few decades you have left?"

Cindy Reed was such a difficult person to deal with.

She did not even show a tinge of sorrow when she brought up her deceased baby. Was the baby not important to her at all?

Perhaps she wanted too many things and she had too many things, so she did not seem to care about that baby.

I felt a little weary, so I wanted to take a nap. Not too long after that, I heard my office door open. I opened m y eyes to see Theo and I was stunned. "You came back so quickly?"

"Who was here just now?" Theo asked emotionlessly.
