The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1416

"What are you thinking about?"

"Answer me!" Theo was angry.

"Of course not." I sighed. "You're the only one I've ever been in love with this entire lifetime."

"That's more like it."

"For some reason, humans stop being passionate when they're older, so it's basically impossible to do such rash but romantic things."

Theo stopped in his tracks and turned my body around to face him. He asked in an unkind tone, "Are you saying that I'm old?"

I strongly suspected that he had reached menopause.

"Stop misinterpreting me all the time." I covered my forehead helplessly. "I'm just trying to say that we should learn from young people. We should be trendy and passionate. Only then will life be meaningful. We can't be dull all the time.'

Theo frowned. "What sort of passion are you talking about?"

I was momentarily speechless. It was my fault. I should not be talking about passion with an old-fashioned person.

After faking a smile, I perfunctorily said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. It's getting late. Tyler should have arrived a long time ago. Let's go now or he'll start throwing a tantrum from waiting too long again."

After saying that, I shook off his hand that was holding onto mine and got into the car

This conversation should end here.

Thalia's matters made me curious. When I saw her walking out of the elevator holding a lunch box with a flushed face, it was clear that she had a crush on someone. Why did she not agree to the man's marriage proposal?

If she told him that she had a crush on someone, he might not have made the marriage proposal.

As this was someone else's matter, I did not spend too much time thinking about it.

Tyler had arrived at the restaurant a long time ago. Maybe because we were late, he ordered food and ate first.

Seeing that he had already eaten most of the dishes and there was a bottle of wine that was nearly empty, I felt a little speechless. "You're getting more and more

polite and are more aware of your image now, aren't you, Mr. Tyler Schuman?" "Thank you." Tyler pretended to not hear the irony in my tone and chuckled pleasantly before beckoning the waiter in to re-order our food.

When the waiter left, Tyler sarcastically said, "If I didn't fill my tummy first, then I'll lose my appetite when the two of you act lovey-dovey in front of me later."

I rolled my eyes at him and leaned in my chair, asking blandly, "How's Carlson doing?"

Tyler shrugged before beckoning to the waiter again to order a bottle of wine for Theo. He then looked at me and said, "No one can do anything to him because there's no substantial evidence. He's been clean over the years but offended many people. Those people could only create rumors to discredit him but couldn't find anything. He should be able to return safely in a few days."

I nodded. "Glad to hear that."

The waiter served the food. Theo and Tyler talked about the recent affairs in the business field, and they both started drinking.

I wanted to ask him about his and Susan's affairs at first, but Theo did not want me to meddle in other people's family matters, so I gave up asking about it.

I went to the bathroom midway, and just after I came out of the cubicle, I heard a woman say, "Don't you think Cindy has a really sad life? First, her boyfriend was snatched away. Now, her current boyfriend is cheating on her. She has quite the rotten luck."
