The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022

My mind wandered off for a moment, and I looked up a t the sky, suddenly realizing that time was passing too quickly. I felt as though I had just left Whaldorf City, but I had been away for more than two months now.

I lowered my head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm back in the country."

I believed he must have been very worried when we met abroad. We were in such a dangerous situation and I was taken away by Milan before we had time to say a word to each other.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

After a period of silence, he asked carefully, "I'll come t o you?"

I pursed my lips. "Maybe not. I’m doing very well.

Don't worry."

"I want to see you." The man's voice sounded somewhat restrained. I could feel his emotions through the phone.

I had not heard such words in a long time and could not help but feel a little touched.

"Theo." I took a deep breath. "I'm really fine."

Initially, I wanted to tell him to try and live his own life, but I knew that he would get mad if I said that.

"I'm not fine at all."

His voice sounded a little low with a hint of urgency and repressed emotions. "Wanda, there's a banishment limit for everyone. You want to go out and be by yourself. I respect that and am willing

to wait here for you, but you can't keep driving me away like this. I refuse to face these lonely nights and rely solely on memories. I want to see you. I want to see you now."

I was momentarily dazed. This was my first time hearing Theo confess his feelings for me without a single reservation.

If he were in front of me now, I figured I would hold him tight and tell him that I missed him very much too.

I lowered my head and held back my tears. "I'm really happy that you're taking good care of Munchkin."

I changed the subject, afraid that I would lose control o f myself and tell him how much I missed him. I was afraid that my presence would bring chaos to his life again.

He should be living a complete life with his wife and son, but I did not have the ability to give him a complete marriage because I could not give him children. Leaving was the best option.

"Wanda Lane!"

Theo finally snapped. "Is this a punishment for me? If yes, then tell me what I'm supposed to do for you to come back?"

I was stunned, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Afraid to continue talking to him like this, I said in a somewhat panicked tone, "I still have things to do.

Let's talk some other time."

Having said that, I took the phone away from my ear and quickly hung up the phone.

When did I become a coward?

Even I disliked myself!

When I returned to Hommiton City, Jordan had returned from his business trip as well.

He did not know that I had applied for a leave, so when I arrived at the company and appeared in front o f him, he said a little angrily, "I need an explanation, Wanda.”

His brows were tightly furrowed, and unhappiness was written all over his face.

This was the first time I had ever seen him angry, and i t was quite rare.

I sighed lightly, "Mr. Fredericks, I applied for-''
