The Woman From Hell Chapter 40
Her voice was not as delicate or rude as usual, but surprisingly calm.I was puzzled. What did she want to talk about?I did not open the door but instead, I sent Theo a message. ‘Miss Reed is outside the door. She wants to talk to me.’I also did not know why I sent that message to Theo.Naturally, humans were greedy. Ever since I felt that Theo's attitude toward me had changed for the better, I subconsciously wanted more of it.Right after I had sent the message, Theo called.I went back to the couch and laid down before answering the phone. A whirlwind of emotions stirred in my heart.“Where are you?” His voice was low and soft as if he were in a meeting.“Inside the house,” I whispered.“Do not open the door. Just go upstairs and have a good sleep.” His voice was very soft and gentle.My heart skipped a beat. “Okay!”After hanging up, I ignored Cindy, who was still shouting outside, and headed upstairs.I noticed the study room door was left open when I passed the room.

I was shocked and quickly turned on the light. It was Theo. Dressed in black, he was seated quietly by the bed, looking at me without any expression on his face.Why did this man always like to scare me by sitting on the edge of the bed like this? I patted my chest, feeling relieved. "You scared me."“You did not do anything wrong. What is there to be afraid of?” He said calmly.“People could really scare other people to death, don't you know that?” I rolled my eyes at him and sat up straight.I had just woken up with sleepy eyes, and my hair messy. I had not changed out of my nightgown yet. I rarely appeared like this in front of Theo, so I felt a little uncomfortable and quickly got up to change.His eyes never left me.I looked down and realized that two of the buttons on my nightgown had come undone.“Ah!” I cried out in alarm. I covered my chest with both hands and hastily fastened the buttons.“Did the doctor say how many days you will have to wait?” Theo suddenly asked.

“Not in the mood for noodles?” Seeing that I was still holding the fork, Theo frowned and asked with a displeased tone.“That is not it. I will eat it right away.” After saying that, I lowered my head and ate two mouthfuls. My stomach was so uncomfortable that I almost wanted to vomit several times. In the end, I forced myself to swallow it.Theo took my noodle bowl and placed it away on the table. Without saying a word, he pulled me upstairs.I panicked and struggled to say, “Theo, what are you doing? I have not finished yet...” Even though it was worse than taking medicine, I had to finish the food because he made it for me.He still did not say anything. His face was grim.“I did not mean to.” I said, trying to explain. “It is because I have not been feeling well for the last two days. I could not handle the sudden smell of oil. Let go of me. I can finish the noodles.”However, he was not interested in listening. He pushed me into the room. “Go in and change. I will take you o

“You can have it. I have already eaten my dinner.” Theo pushed the bowl of porridge over and spoke in a gentle voice.I was taken aback by the situation in front of me.He knew all of Cindy's preferences. However, he did not know that I did not like fish soup or noodles with too much oil. That was why she was the one he truly placed in his heart. I could never catch up to Cindy in this aspect.“Wanda, you were the one who chose the place to eat tonight, right? You did not know Theo never eats hotpot, right?” Cindy reminded me with a “sincere” smile.“This was what I wanted to eat.” I did not say anything else. I lowered my head and cooked the hotpot ingredients.Cindy was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Wanda, I know what Theowy likes to eat. The next time you want to come out for a meal, you can ask me first. I will tell you in secret.”I was speechless. I have met b*tches before, but this is the first time I meet a b*tch with such audacity.“Theowy, the millet porridg

He strode with large steps to my side with a cold expression. “You are an adult. Do you not know how to conduct yourself properly?”I laughed angrily. “Perhaps I do not know how to behave, but at least I know basic courtesy and manners. I would not cling on to a married man nor would I favor other women in front of my wife.”“Wanda!” His expression suddenly changed. His eyes were fierce as he gripped my shoulders with both hands. His strength was great as he gritted his teeth and said word by word, “Are you trying to test my limits?”My shoulders felt like they were about to break from his grip. I fought back the heart-wrenching pain as a sneer formed on my lips. “Are you trying to kill me? I have already died countless times before. Why would I care about this?”He was so angry he could explode. His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth gritted together. He raised his fist and was about to hit me. I was fearless and glared at him coldly. Finally, he slammed his fist into the tree

The door slammed behind me, and I shrank back in fear, losing all my earlier boldness.He threw me onto the sofa with all his might. I instinctively held my belly and looked at his bloodshot eyes in horror. “W-what are you trying to do?”“Oh, now you are afraid. Were you not fearless earlier?” He sneered and held my chin with one hand. He said coldly, “Am I a cheater? Am I fickle? Am I unable to distinguish right from wrong? Am I disgusting?”The more he said, the angrier he got. He tightened his grip and his pupils constricted. “I did not expect to have such an image in your heart.”I had said some words out of anger earlier, but now that he held me tightly like this, my temper flared up again. I lifted my leg and kicked him.“Ah!” He pointed his trembling hands at me. “You...”This kick was not light, and I felt a little guilty. However, I still said defiantly, "Theo, are you still a man? You always use this method to deal with me. If you want to kill me, just do it. You do not

He looked like he was in pain. “But they did not get a chance to run out of the house. All of a sudden, the whole house collapsed, and they were buried alive in the rumble.”I was stunned. I did not expect this at all. I could not help but wrap my arms around Theo's shoulders and gently pat his back.“It is okay. The hardest part is over.” He did not seem used to being treated with such compassion. He pulled me back into his arms.He continued in a deep voice, “They were rescued after that. Grandmother hired the best doctor, but with their serious injuries, they still did not make it. They passed away one after another. Before they left, they entrusted Cindy to me.”I had always known how important Cindy was to him, but I never expected it to be like this.“Why didn’t Grandmother let Cindy marry you?” Cindy grew up with Theo and had even saved his life. Grandmother could have helped them get together.“Your focus is always so strange.” He smiled. It was a smile so clear and brigh

“Thank you for your concern, President Nichols. An outsider does not need to worry about the ownership of the Grant Corporation. You should mind your own business, President Nichols. It would not be good if the Grant Corporation was dragged through the mud because of your mistake.”It was early in the morning and I did not want to argue with him in front of the office. I turned and walked inside.“Wanda, you!” Zedd wanted to flare up, but when he saw the looks in the eyes of the surrounding employees, he sensibly shut his mouth.I took the elevator to Theo's office. It was still cold and felt solemn.Keith was busy at his computer. When he saw me enter, he looked up and said, “Miss Lane, the President is meeting with President Nicholas shortly. He wants you to wait in his office.”I nodded and entered Theo's office. I sat on the sofa and waited for him.Half an hour later, Zedd's voice came from outside the door. “Second Brother, have you considered Cindy's feelings before when y
