The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1394

I was good at playing pretend. Besides, now that Theo learned I had not eaten anything all day, his face no longer looked so cold.

He glanced at me and blandly asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Hotpot." I looked at him with a grin.

Theo sighed with a helpless expression and started the car engine.

He was silent the whole journey. When we arrived at a hotpot restaurant in the city center, he found a parking spot and parked the car. He got out of the car without waiting for me.

I watched as he stood beside the car with a cold expression and felt aggrieved. "I've been starving all day and nearly got stabbed by Dazaray earlier. I received a shock and can't even stand straight right now. Can you support me?"

Theo frowned as he watched me put on a show in silence.

I blinked my eyes and started pretending to have gastric pain again.

Sure enough, this trick worked like a charm.

Theo relented and walked over to help me out of the car.

I pursed my lips and leaned on him along with the momentum, shamelessly saying,' Can you carry me? My legs are really weak.

I can't walk."

"Let's just skip dinner and go home and rest, then."

I tutted and stood straight, saying with a look of displeasure, "Let's go in. I'm starving."

After saying that, my legs were no longer weak and I trotted into the restaurant.

After finding a table, Theo came over and sat down from across the table. He looked indifferently at me. I propped up my chin and asked him, "Are you still mad?" Theo had no plans of entertaining me.

I did not say anything else. After ordering food, the waiter quickly brought the pot over. When the dishes were served, I was ready to dig in.

I had been starving the whole day and was delighted to finally eat.

When the meat was cooked, I was about to take it but Theo stopped me. "Drink some soup first."

Having said that, he pushed a bowl of chicken soup toward me.

I knew he was worried that my stomach could not take it after starving for so long, so I drank the soup compliantly before eating.

Theo did not seem hungry and did not touch his cutleries.

I raised my head to look at him and caught him staring fixedly at me. I felt a little uneasy. "Don't be mad anymore."

"Oh."

What did 'oh' mean?

I brushed my nose. "Uh... is Jordan released?"

Don't talk when you're eating."

I clammed up and ate my food in silence.

After eating, I put down my cutleries and assured him with great confidence. "I was careless today. I assure you that this will not happen again."

Theo sneered. "When has your assurance ever worked?"

I cleared my throat awkwardly and could not help but argue, "I didn't expect her to be so bold, spiking my drug in broad daylight and kidnapping me back home.

"I didn't know she was just trying to stall for time. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistakes again the next time I encounter the same thing."

"You want this to happen again?" Theo's expression was serious.
