The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1716

Chapter 1716



Theo had already come back when I arrived at the villa.

There was only a lamp that was lit up in the living room when I entered the house. Theo was sitting on the corner of the sofa, quietly turning the pages of a magazine.

I made some noise when I walked into the house. Theo looked up and saw me. Then, he put the magazine aside and waved at me.

I ran into his arms. I could always find a sense of security in him. I wrapped my hands around his slim waist, while he gently touched my face and asked, "How's everything going?"

"It was Julie who did it." My voice was calm yet gentle.

It seemed like it was exactly what Theo had expected too. He replied in a soft voice, "I see. So what are you planning to do?"

I slowly left his embrace, then I touched my face and answered, "Julie is merely a pawn in this. If she can think of taking advantage of Serena's death to threaten us, she could've done it earlier. Why did she wait for such a long time? Someone must have talked to her."

While I said that, the faces of those people who held grudges against me were flashing across my mind.

I thought about it and came up with the conclusion that there could only be one person.

"Who is it?" Theo looked at me and gave me a meaningful smile.

I was not in a hurry to tell him, so I said, I'm going to keep it a secret. You said you're going to let me deal with this. What if you make the first move if I tell you who it is?"

Theo tapped my nose with his fingers, looked at me affectionately, and said, "You scheming woman."

"How can I not be cunning when I'm dealing with you, President Grant?" I smiled cheerfully.

I turned around and suddenly noticed Munchkin's photo that was on the shelf. It reminded me of Munchkin, so I said, "Oh, I forgot to ask Munchkin how he's been doing at school. It's a new environment for him, after all. I'm a little worried."

Previously, Munchkin got into trouble when he was in kindergarten. What if...

It was at this moment Theo patted my hand and replied, "Don't worry. Cool Breeze Elementary School has a good school ethos. The teachers will inform the parents if anything happens."

"I hope so."

Everything was good at Cool Breeze

Elementary School. It was just that

the school implemented the hoarding school management system and parents could only visit their children during the weekends. I could only ask Munchkin how everything was when I visited him this weekend.

I stretched, rubbed my eyes, and said," Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's late. We should go to bed."

"Are you just going to bed?" Theo stood up when I pulled him, but he still did not forget to tease me.

I shot a glance at him. I was exhausted, and I was not in the mood to argue with him." Yes. I'm tired. Maybe next time."

"Are you that tired? Let me carry you, then."

Right after Theo said that and before I could give him a response, my legs were up in the air. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and said, "Oh my. Theo, can you not?"

"Wifey, I won't be able to hold myself back if you play cute with me." Theo grinned from ear to ear.

I buried my head in his chest and let him carry me to the bedroom. It was so comfortable leaning on his chest. I unconsciously fell asleep in such a short time.

I seemed to hear someone muttering while

I was in a daze, "How can you fall asleep like that? It looks like you're really tired."

After that, he gently laid me on the bed. The bed was soft. As I got comfortable in bed, I fell asleep without knowing what happened after that.

The next morning, I was woken up by Theo's kiss.

"Theo, what are you doing?"

"Are you awake now?"

I opened my eyes. Theo's smiling eyes came into sight. I sat up on the bed, then he whispered in my ears, "Breakfast is ready. Freshen yourself up, go downstairs, and eat your breakfast."

"Okay." My voice was still raspy.

Theo had already eaten his breakfast and was ready to head out when I finished cleaning up and went downstairs. He glanced at me and said, "Wifey, you're too slow."
