The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 855

"I guess.” The man let out a very dashing smile.

I coldly snorted. "You're taking your undeserved gain for granted."

Theo smiled and said no more.

After grilling another plate of food, he handed it to me and said, "It's a holiday today. I thought you would be thinking about Cassey since you’re always together, but you’re actually worried about Susan instead."

After swallowing the food, I picked up the glass of water and said, "Do you believe in doppelgangers?"

He raised his brows, not saying anything. He was clearly waiting for me to finish my sentence.

"Cassey and Cecilia are very similar. She shares Cecilia's enthusiasm and straightforwardness. When I'm with her, I sometimes have the illusion that Cecilia is still around."

I looked up at him and saw him listening attentively t o me. I continued, "Susan is more like me. She has low self-esteem and is stubborn. Perhaps because we’re so alike that I can empathize with her situation and condition, that's why I always can’t help but want to take care of her."

To be precise, Susan was more like my past self. I

knew the pain of waiting and the desperation of wanting to hold on even though I was obviously head over heels in love.

After a long time, I noticed that Theo was unmoving. I looked up at him. I met his dark eyes staring motionlessly back at me.

Seeing a faint glow in his dark pupils, I was stunned." Theo..."

He reached out and pulled me into his arms, his voice low and restrained. "I'm sorry. There are certain things that I won't allow them to happen again."

Lying in his arms and hearing his heartbeat, I realized in hindsight that he was blaming himself.

I gently sighed. "Theo, I didn't mean to blame you by saying those things. Don't think too much."

He hummed softly, his voice low and husky. "I know."

Sometimes, memories existed not to remind oneself of how painful it used to be but to remind oneself to cherish the present moment.

Quinn looked at us, the corners of her mouth gently raised.

Susan was a little surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking me this?"

I leaned against the kitchen table and said with a smile, "We bought a lot of nutritional ingredients which I have no use for. You’ve just delivered a baby and are breastfeeding, so this is the best time to replenish your body. It’s New Year’s today too. I'll get Theo to bring some over for you later."

On the other side of the phone, Susan was silent for a very long time. Just as I was wondering if she had hung up the phone, Susan said with a smile, "Thank you, Wanda. You’re the first person to show concern

for me."

I pursed my lips and felt a little sorry for her. "How’s the baby? Isn't Tyler with you?"

Susan smiled. "He's okay now. The Schumans sent a lot of supplements just now. I'll ask Mr. Grant to bring some back when he comes over later."

She evaded the question about Tyler, and I was clear about what was going on. I stopped asking. "I don’t need any supplements, so you should keep them for yourself. We can go shopping together when you get better."

"Alright, then." Susan sounded a lot happier than just now.
