The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179

Jordan went to the hospital to take care of Shannon, and with the project being temporarily called off, I could only go back and take a rest.

On my way back, I received news from the hospital saying that Shannon had indeed hit her head and was now temporarily unconscious. She would not be able to wake up in such a short period of time.

When we arrived at the villa, I keyed in the password as usual but it was wrong.

Therefore, I had no choice but to give Jordan a call. When the call was answered, I asked, "You changed the door's password?"

"Yeah, Theo won't let you stay at my place and told me to change the password. Your things have been moved next door too," Jordan said in a calm voice.

I felt deeply helpless and hung up the call without saying a word.

I originally thought I was able to avoid it, but it seemed that I was thinking too much.

Now that things had come to this, I could not sleep out in the streets, so I could only walk next door with a face full of helplessness. I keyed in the password at the gate.

When the gate opened, I saw the car that Theo usually took was parked out in the yard. The door of the villa stood ajar, so I thought maybe Theo had returned.

Keith was watering the plants in the yard. When he saw me, he smiled slightly." You're back, Mrs. Grant!”

I nodded, feeling more or less awkward.

Walking to the door of the villa, I swept my gaze around the living room but did not see Theo. I turned to look at Keith and asked," Theo hasn't come home yet?"

"Mr. Grant is handling some papers in the study on the second floor. You can go straight up."

I sighed and went upstairs.

The door of the study was open. Theo was indeed working. A pair of black-rimmed glasses rested on his nose, and he was looking at the papers in his hands in a particularly serious manner and with great concentration.

He was wearing gray casual wear, and it looked like he had just come out of a shower. His hair was still a little damp, and perhaps he was too occupied lately that his short hair seemed a little long now, covering parts of his forehead. It made him look exceptionally young and handsome.

He did not hear my footsteps. Perhaps he was too focused on his work.

I was struck by sudden mischief and tiptoed behind him. I embraced his neck and spoke in a rough voice while he was not paying attention, "Don't move, I’m going to rob you."

Theo did not look at all frightened and slowly put down the papers in his hands. H e removed the glasses resting on his nose bridge and asked with a face full of smiles," What do you intend to rob, tough guy?" I chuckled mischievously. "I will rob both money and your innocence."

After saying that, I fearlessly fidgeted with his hair with my fingertips.

Theo turned his chair around and pulled m e into his long arms, making me sit on his lap. He pressed his lips against my ear and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, make sure you keep your word, toughie. Don’t forget to rob my innocence after robbing my money."

I looked at him with a smile and raised my arms to wrap them around his neck." There's someone downstairs, so robbing your innocence today may create too much noise. Maybe some other day. I'll rob your money first today."

He looked at me with obscure eyes. “Don't worry, he won't hear it, or should I say that he has no chance to hear it?"

As soon as he said that, I heard the sound o f a car engine downstairs.

I froze. "Can I very sincerely ask for your advice, Mr. Grant? Is Keith’s outstanding trait a talent, or did you train him to be like that?"

Theo raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips lifting as well. "Both."

Having said that, he raised my chin with his finger and lowered his head to nibble m y lips.

I glared at him and asked with dissatisfaction, "Are you a dog?"

"Let's not discuss whether I'm a dog or not." Theo pressed his forehead against mine and asked with a slight smile, "Why do you keep calling me Mr. Grant? Is there no exclusive way of addressing us as husband and wife?"

I twitched my lips. "What do you want me t o call you? Baby or honey?"
