The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161

I froze, and my mind was in turmoil.

After a long silence, I turned around and looked at him, saying, "I'm now talking to you as your wife."

As soon as I said that, the corners of Theo's mouth lifted.

He looked like he was in a good mood and said with a faint smile, "There’s a change of clothes for you in the closet. Take a shower and go to bed early. It's getting late."

I frowned and wanted to say something, but he was already heading for the bathroom.

We were adults now, and I knew what my answer meant. Hence, there was nothing more to say about that.

When Lally learned about the amount of damage, I had seen just how worried she looked. As a single mother, she needed to care for her child and parents. Even though she had made a lot of money in Fredericks Corporation in the last few years, to pay 30 percent of 500 million was not an amount she could pay off even if she emptied out the savings of her entire family.

Meanwhile, I also had to bear 20 percent of the amount. Furthermore, since I had decided to cut all ties with Theo, I transferred all the many years of income I received from the company under my name to Theo. Apart from the property in Zenon, I had no other assets left. Hence, 20 percent of 500 was simply an astronomical amount to me as well.

Therefore, my only option now was to see Theo so he would not rush me to pay for the compensation.

As long as the lost items were recovered, that meant that we could still do our best to pay less compensation. Besides, I had a feeling that this whole incident was not that simple.

I sat on the sofa, lost in thoughts for a very long time. Eventually, I got up and walked t o the closet.

After opening the closet, I found a set of pajamas that I could wear with the tag still attached. It seemed like it was just prepared.

Did he know me that well? He knew that I would come to him?

The bathroom door opened, and Theo walked out draped in a bath towel. His bronze chest still had water droplets on it, which made him look extra sexy in the dim light.

I turned my gaze away and lowered my head, saying, "I'll go and take a shower."

He wiped his hair dry and said in a lukewarm tone, "Hurry."

We had been married for many years.

Although we had countless skin-to-skin contact, it was different now. This time, our interaction carried a purpose.

In fact, I would say that I felt humiliated. However, I knew that Theo would certainly let me go as long as I mentioned it. Even so, I found it quite hard to accept it if I were to say that I did not feel humiliated.

Later, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I walked out of the bathroom, Theo had already wiped his hair dry and was lying down on the bed. The white silk blanket rested on his abdomen, revealing his fine chest.

Hearing movements, he looked over toward me.

There were not many emotions in his eyes. He reached out and patted the spot beside him and said, "Come here."

I pursed my lips and sat down on the edge o f the bed with mixed feelings within me.

He took the bath towel from my hands and wiped my hair dry with gentle movements. "We have plenty of time in the future, Wanda. We can always take it slow."

I knew what he meant by that, but I stopped myself from understanding it like that.

I did not say anything and chose to remain silent.

He did not say anything either and wiped m y hair dry in silence.

After wiping my hair dry, he tossed the towel aside and said, "Sleep."

As soon as he said that, my body instantly stiffened.

I had no idea why I was so useless either. It was not like I had no experience in having intercourse. What was there to be scared o f?

Theo had already laid down. After sitting in silence for a few minutes, I finally climbed into bed and took the initiative to lay on his chest.

The man did not move at all as if he was waiting for me to make the first move.

I took a deep breath and tilted my head to reach for his lips.

This was my first time taking initiative, so my movements were slightly clumsy.

Theo's lips were slightly cool. My lips fell o n top of them.
