The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 939

The little boy looked up at Elena, who then looked at Theo as though she was asking him if it was okay.

Theo did not say anything, but he was considered to have given tacit assent.

Elena let the little boy sit on the chair, reminded him not to cause trouble, then went to order food.

I pushed the untouched plate of dessert to the little boy and said with a smile, "Have some. Don't be shy."

The little boy replied in a crisp voice, "Thank you."

Elena saw that he was eating the dessert and asked with a frown, "Did you say thank you, Charles?"

The little boy did not tell her that he had. He just thanked Theo and me again. This was an extremely sensible child.

Theo was a man of few words. Now that two of them were here, it made him less inclined to speak.

I had just finished eating a plate of dessert, so I drew out a tissue paper to wipe my mouth. Theo asked me, " Want more?"

I shook my head. "I can't eat anymore." "Let's go, then," he said, standing up from the chair.

I was just about to stand up when Elena said, "Mr. Grant, I'd like to take this time to talk to you regarding the latest artificial intelligence research."

Theo frowned and said indifferently, "This is out of m y working hours."

In other words, he only wanted to discuss it during working hours.

Elena pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "The new artificial intelligence research is directed at major physical stores. Even a dessert shop like this can use i t. We can use this opportunity to talk to this store about it."

Theo looked even more displeased now. Before he could say anything to reject her, I said first, "I happen t o have things to buy. You can talk. I'll go walk around i n the mall across the street."

I took a closer look at the clothes in the shop and noticed that this was a mid-tier luxury brand.

I walked up to a mirror and understood why the two shopkeepers were looking at me with contempt.

The scar on my face was still visible. Although it was not obvious, it still affected my appearance. I had merely tied my hair casually before leaving the house today and did not put on makeup at all. I was wearing brandless casual clothes, so I certainly would not be turning heads when I walked on the road.

Realizing that I felt a little inferior, I could not help but chuckle bitterly.

Perhaps I did feel inferior. This was not something that happened recently but it had been for a while now.

Elena was an outstanding woman. She was stunning, elegant, intelligent, decisive, and brave. Men probably liked a woman like her.

When an outstanding woman like Elena was compared to an ordinary woman like me, how could Theo possibly remain unstirred? 1
