The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201

"He went out early in the morning because he had things to do. I was woken up by my grandpa's phone call earlier, and since I'm already awake, I don’t plan to go back to sleep anymore." Shannon sounded a bit lazy.

"Do you want to join us for lunch this afternoon, then?"

If Jordan was not around, Shannon was likely to skip lunch out of laziness.

"No." Shannon refused decisively. "It's Saturday today. That iceberg is probably at home, right? I'm more afraid to see him, so I'll pass. I'll have lunch in the mall."

Iceberg?

It seemed like an apt description.

After hanging up the phone, I got up and went to the study.

Theo had no plans on staying here longterm, so there were only a few books on the bookshelf as well as some magazines.

I grabbed a book called 'History of a Small Town’.

I was a little surprised. Theo never read books like this. Keith must have purchased the wrong book.

I sat down on the sofa and started reading the book.

The author of this book grew up in a small town, so the book was a record of some of the things that had happened in the town. There were touching and heartbreaking stories.

My emotions were soon affected, and my eyes were a little red.

When Theo walked in and saw me crying, h e was startled. 'Why are you crying?"

He quickly took his seat beside me and embraced me.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked up at him, saying, "I read a touching story."

Theo frowned and took the book from my hand. He glanced at it.

When he saw the name of the book, he gritted his teeth. "Keith."

"Don’t blame him," I quickly spoke up for Keith. "I love this book."

Theo gently sighed. "But I don't because you cried." "I'm not crying because I'm sad." I put my hands on his face. "I was thinking about us and thought that we're really blessed right now."

Theo smiled. "Yes, I'm really blessed right now. I'm happiest when you're with me."

Those words caused my heart to beat faster.

I embraced him and said a little delightfully, "A good relationship is enviable. The family in the book makes me envious."

"Our family will be really blessed too." Theo took the opportunity to ask, "So, when are you coming back to Whaldorf City with m e?"

He had his heart set on taking me back to Whaldorf City.

I was even beginning to suspect that he would one day secretly bring me back to Whaldorf City while I was asleep.

"Stop asking." I pinched his face. "No matter how many times you ask, I'll tell you to wait until this project is over."

After saying that, I got up and was ready to leave.

Not long ago, I was still thinking about signing the divorce papers with Theo when we were free. Now, we were stuck together like glue. Fate was truly an inscrutable thing.

"Where are you going?" Theo wrapped his arms around my waist, not allowing me to leave.

I sat down on his lap and said with a smirk, "Don't you want to have lunch?" "I'd like to have you." Theo rubbed his face against my neck. "You smell so good."

My face blushed terribly.

Did this man not know how to control himself?

"Alright, I'll stop messing with you." Seeing me struggle, Theo said with a smile, "I’ll ask Keith to bring you lunch. You’ll have to eat alone because I need to go out and handle some things."

I froze, suddenly remembering the call he answered earlier.
