The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1383

I opened my mouth to say something, but my logic told me that it was not the right time. Hence, I quickly swallowed my words. "You have to listen to your elders, Shannon. He's just doing what's best for you." "Why would you say that?" Shannon was dissatisfied.

"I don't think Mr. Collins would want to sabotage you."

It was getting late. After chatting a bit more, I hung up the phone.

The weather in the north was slowly creeping into Winter. It was barely six p.m. but the sky had already gone dark. It was chilly too.

I drove back to the villa and found out that Theo had already returned.

It was rare to see him get off work so early. He was cooking in the kitchen too.

I walked up to the kitchen door and leaned against it, watching as he busied himself with cooking. I could not help but feel a smile creep up my face. When he turned around to grab something, the sight of me in the doorway made him jump. "When did you get back? Why didn't you call me?" I smiled. "I just got back."

Theo gave me an exasperated look. "Go wash your hands. Dinner is almost ready."

I was surprised that he was wearing a beige sweater and blurted out, "You look better in light-colored clothes. It makes you look younger.

Theo raised his brow. "So, you're saying that I usually look old?"

It did not seem like he was joking, and that only made me want to tease him more." You do look kind of old usually. Perhaps it's because you look too strict. You're always giving off an unapproachable vibe like you have a short temper. That's why people think you're a lot older. So, you should wear more light-colored clothing in the future. You look so handsome when you dress up, so you shouldn't dress yourself up to look so mature."

Theo thought about what I said and said," Alright, I accept your opinion."

I saw his serious expression and felt lost for a moment. When did he become so receptive to others' opinions? Was he slowly learning how to fix his bad habits

and control his temper?

The man he was now seemed like a completely different person from that gloomy, daunting Theo from all those years ago.

It was a slow, gradual change.

I had not realized this before, but Theo had slowly re-evaluated himself and changed himself all for the sake of me and this family.

Now, he was a different Theo. He was childish at times, but he wanted my attention and catered to my preferences.

'Love' was never a word that he spoke carelessly, but it was hidden in the details of every little thing he did.
