The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1565

Chapter 1565



Theo had managed to resolve what the children had been worried about, but at the same time, there was no doubt that he had just humiliated Fred with what he had just done.

I cast Fred an apologetic look, not wanting the atmosphere to become too tense.

"At least the children won't have to agonize over Lil Potato anymore, and he'll get to stay in an environment that he already knows well. It's not a bad thing."

Fred was not angry. He instead smiled as he nodded and said, "Indeed."

I was thankful that he did not lose his temper in front of the children.

As we left the zoo, I did not extend my

invitation for dinner again. Everyone seemed to be in tacit agreement as we headed back to our respective homes.

Theo and I did not say anything during the journey home. Munchkin, who was sitting in the backseat, was the only one jabbering away about all the interesting things he had seen today.

I knew that Theo was jealous because of what the volunteer had said today.

However, I was also angry at the way he handled things at the zoo today. Of course, he had the right to assert his dominance, but he did not need to humiliate others while doing that.

Once we were home, Theo instructed," Munchkin, why don't you go take a bath? I'll let you know when dinner is ready."

Alright." Munchkin was an obedient child and ran up to his room after changing into his house shoes.

I knew what Theo wanted to do, but I was not in the mood to listen to him lose his temper. I planned to retreat to the bedroom once I had changed my shoes, but I was not as fast as Theo was.

After putting my house shoes on, I was just about to walk away when he grabbed my hand and asked, "Why are you angry again?"

I turned around and glared at him before glancing at Munchkin's bedroom. The door was closed, but I did not feel fully at ease.

I did not want us to fight in front of Munchkin and did not want him to see us even if we were arguing in a manner that was not heated.

Theo seemed to know what I was thinking and let go of my wrist as he walked into the bedroom with me.

"Did you have to treat Fred that way?"

"What about you? Did you have to go visit him the minute I left?" I was baffled by Theo's statements.

I looked at him. "What do you mean? Do you think that I went to Fred on purpose?"

Theo seemed to realize he had been too harsh as well. Feeling guilty, he turned to get his coat from the closet instead of looking at me.

"I didn't mean it that way. I just found it too much of a coincidence. Every time I return, I find that you're with Fred."

I gulped without realizing it.

To be honest, I felt the same way

too. I found our chance encounter at the bookstore today and the fact

that Fred had already boughts

to the zoo to be odd.

However, I certainly could not tell Theo that now.

"But even so, you didn't need to humiliate Fred, did you? Tina was there as well. Why did you have to do that?"

Tina was already at an age where she understood what was going on around her, and I was worried that Theo's actions would hurt her.

"I don't think I was humiliating him.

All I wanted to do was help the children. Both wanted to adopt the same puppy, but our families can't meet up often. Don't you think this was the best solution?"

I frowned slightly. "But we could

have let Tina adopt the puppy. If et

Munchkin missed him, we could visit every once in a while or even video call them."

"No." Theo rejected the suggestion without hesitation. "I don't want hidden dangers to be left unattended."
