The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 888

At this moment, Theo wrapped his arms around my waist. His lips came closer to my ear, and he said softly, "Don't worry about him. He'll sober up."

I clicked my tongue. "Does this happen a lot to Zedd?”

His slender fingers rested on the glass, which was brought to his mouth. His thin lips were pressed against the glass. It was such a seductive sight to behold.

After taking a sip of water, he said softly, "Not very often. Just occasionally.”

When he saw me staring at his lips in a daze, he raised his eyebrows. "Is there something on my face?”

I came back to my senses and cleared my throat to cover up my embarrassment. "No."

I moved my gaze away from the man’s face and placed my hand on my heart. My heart was starting to beat faster.

The man must be a demon because he was able to make me muddle-headed.

Zedd was completely wasted after drinking two more glasses of wine. Theo reached out to nudge him.

Seeing that he was not budging, he looked at me and said with a smile, "We can go home now.”

I nodded and looked at Zedd, asking, "Do we need to take him home?”

He shook his head. "No, we'll just take him downstairs.”

Theo helped Zedd up from the sofa, and I followed them out of the private room.

When we stepped out of The Imperial Club, Zedd's driver got out of the car and took Zedd over. He thanked Theo, then drove him home.

Theo's car was parked in the parking lot. He looked at me and said, "Wait inside the club for me. I'll go get the car."

"I'll come with you." I did not want to stay here all alone.

Theo, however, did not agree. He persuaded me with a frown, saying, "It’s too cold out here. Be good and wait for me here. I'll be back really soon."

I looked at her and asked blandly, "Are you here to relax or attend a social event?"

Jerome chuckled. "To relax, of course."

After a pause, he continued, "I heard that you allowed Mason to take Munchkin to South Vasetine. Have you forgotten about Cecilia’s last wish?”

I pursed my lips. "I haven't, of course. But there are some things that we can’t control. Besides, Mason only brought him there for vacation, not for the Lynches to take him back."

Jerome sneered. "You're too simple-minded. Mason is a gentleman but that may not be the case with the rest of the Lynches. There are a lot of wolves and tigers around him. It's possible that Munchkin may never come back."

The latter half of his words enraged me. "Why are you saying such things to me, Jerome?"

I could not believe that Jerome would one day say such things to me.

"I'm just trying to warn you not to think so superficially about everything. I don't mean anything else.” He held the hand of the woman beside him and continued, "I feel like we're growing apart, Wanda."
