The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1399

"The charges can be dropped until tangible evidence is found to convict him. Jordan must have panicked seeing as the evidence is about to be gathered."

I pursed my lips and thought about it, saying, "But Milan is already dead, so all Dazaray could do was kidnap me. She can't do anything to threaten you, so I believe someone else is behind this."

Theo stroked my neck and deliberately moved his lips to my ear, saying in an attractive and sexy voice, "I'm not sure about that. I need time to investigate it."

Sensing that he was about to kiss me, I tilted my head. "Have you withdrawn the lawsuit?" "Mm-hmm." Theo tightly wrapped me in his arms like an octopus.

I frowned. "He did so many evil deeds and nearly killed you. How can you spare him so easily? By doing this, you're letting him get away with it, aren't you?" I pushed him away a little after saying that.

Theo was unimpressed now. Afraid that I would push him away again, he pinned down both of my arms. His hands started snaking around.

I widened my eyes and cried out, "Don't be a rascal, Theo Grant."

"We're legally married. How am I a rascal when I'm just touching you?"

The man's voice was hoarse. He was clearly in the mood by now.

I narrowed my eyes and firmly refused. " Not today. I'm too tired."

When I was tired, I did not want to workout at all. Most importantly, this was Shannon's house.

Theo's body had heated up. He did not intend to give up. His hands continued to snake around.

I helplessly sighed. "This is Shannon's house, Theo. Behave yourself. Besides, I really am tired." Theo nodded. "You go to sleep. I'll do my stuff."

I would be damned if I could fall asleep.

Perhaps sensing my strong resistance, Theo gave up halfway despite feeling awful about it.

He lay back down on the bed and held me in his arms, saying, "Let's go to the hospital when we have time."

Why did we need to go to the hospital?

I was too drowsy. I wanted to ask the question but could not stand the drowsiness.

I woke up very early the next morning. I missed Munchkin very much after leaving Whaldorf City for such a long period of time, so I gave Petra a call.

On the phone, Petra seemed really anxious. She said that Munchkin had been catching colds lately, so she dared not let him out of the house.

Whaldorf City was very cold this month. Munchkin was a premature baby and would easily catch a cold at this time. He had lived in Zenon for the first few years of his life where winters were not too cold and the temperature difference between day and night was not too large. Hence, he did not often catch a cold.

After returning to Whaldorf City, he could not get used to the weather, so it was normal for him to fall sick often. I comforted Petra, asking her not to worry too much and make sure to layer up Munchkin before leaving the house.

Theo needed to go out and handle some affairs. When he saw me talking to Petra on the phone, he walked over and embraced me from behind. He whispered into my ear, "The bidding's today. Let's go over together when you get off the phone."

I furrowed my brows, then said a few more things to Petra.

After hanging up the phone, I asked, "Can I not go? I don't want to get involved in this anymore. You only need to look for a more reliable company and make sure the project goes smoothly anyway. Otherwise. Elena's efforts will go to waste."

Theo frowned and handed me the tie in his hand, signaling me to tie it for him.

"Your previous records as well as Dazaray's release make you an easy target for revenge, so I don't feel safe leaving you alone. Be good and come with me."
