The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1316

He left the office with Keith. I was alone by myself for a while, but as I was too afraid, I went to the staff office area.

Amelia's death had made everyone unmotivated to work. There was no way they could work as normal.

They needed to be questioned, and at the same time, the place where Amelia had jumped off from needed to be searched. Everyone was in a state of panic.

It was only until Theo walked the policemen out did everyone ease up a little.

When he saw me in the staff office area, he beckoned to me, signaling me to walk over.

I walked toward him and returned to the office with him.

Keith looked at Theo with a grave expression. "This may not be a coincidence, Mr. Grant."

Theo's expression was blank. He fell silent for a few seconds before saying blandly," Contact the deceased's family members. Send them our condolences as soon as possible."

Keith nodded and left.

I was worried, so I asked him, "Is this problem a thorny one?"

Theo smiled slightly, looking unwavered in the face of hardships.

However, his slightly sunken eyes and the blue-gray color under his eyes indicated just how exhausted and tired he was.

I knew he did not want me to worry, so he kept things from me a lot of times. He

wanted to handle everything himself so I would not have to worry about anything.

We cared about each other and needed each other, but it was because we cared too much for each other that we used ways we thought were right to protect each other so the other party would not have the slightest worry.

No matter what happened, we would not wear our emotions on our faces even though we were clearly very anxious, let alone say our concerns out loud. Though the more we did so, the more worried the other party would be and the more useless one would feel.

I fell silent for a moment before getting up to pour him a glass of water.

When he took the glass of water, I looked at him and sternly said, "Theo, maybe you think that I'll be of no help no matter what

you encounter, hence you'd choose not to tell me about things and are even less willing to confide in me the bitterness in your heart. But do you know what's the biggest difference between a couple and any other relationship?

"Two people become husband and wife because they need each other in every aspect. When one of us encounters a problem, both of us have to face it together. Even if it means giving the other a hug, it's still a way to share the burden. Therefore, I hope you'll share the difficulties you encounter with me. Don't pretend like everything is okay. I want to share your burdens, and I also hope that I can be needed by you." I grew calmer as I spoke. This should have been the case. He should not have to face everything alone. Otherwise, I would be too incompetent as a wife.

Theo did not seem to expect that I would suddenly say these things to him, so he was momentarily surprised.

After coming back to his senses, he smiled. Even his deep and dark eyes were filled with smiles.

He pulled me into his arms and said with a smile, "Silly, I've always needed you ever since the beginning. When I don't tell you, it doesn't mean I don't need you. You just need to stay by my side and I'll gain endless strength. I'll perfectly solve every problem that I come across."

His voice was low, attractive, and melodious to the ears. The words he said were even sweeter.

I sighed. "The past was brought up, then there's the case of plagiarism. Now, it's a suicide. Who exactly is targeting you?"

I suddenly thought of a person and asked with widened eyes, "It's not Milan, is it? He is in the country, so it's possible that he's plotting these things."

Theo embraced me. "Be good. I'll investigate these things. All you need to do is just eat and sleep well every day."

Seeing that he did not want me to get involved, I did not say anything else.

Later, the two of us embraced each other in silence before Theo went to finish his work.

He had many things to do right now and could not allow himself to stay idle with me.
