The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 1809
Chapter 1809
Before going to bed that night, Nicky texted me: [Are we going to the teahouse tomorrow?]
She truly still missed Queenie.
I turned my head and looked at Theo who was working hard. "We bumped into Queenie on the road yesterday. She's currently working in a teahouse, and Nicky and I plan to visit her tomorrow. Would you like to go together?"
Without waiting for Theo to respond, Munchkin, who was sleeping in the middle, suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Teahouse? I wanna go!"
"Hey, little guy, were you pretending to be asleep?" I rubbed his little head.
"Mommy, I just laid down. How can I fall asleep so quickly?" Munchkin opened his eyes and said as he looked at me.
At this moment, Theo said, "I still have work tomorrow. You should go with Munchkin. Be careful on the road. Call me if there's anything."
"Sure."
Since work came first, I did not try to force Theo. The three of us going was fine. If Theo were around, Nicky and Queenie might feel even more awkward.
I replied to Nicky: [Okay, let's head over in the afternoon.] Then, I quickly fell asleep.
The next day.
Before going out, I glanced at Theo, who was working hard at the desk. I told him, "I'll call you downstairs for lunch when I come back."
"Be careful on the road." He looked up at me and advised gently.
After closing the door, I took Munchkin to Nicky's room. She just came out. "We can go now, Wanda."
The teahouse was not far from our hotel, and it was just two blocks away.
The teahouse had a quaint atmosphere. One could smell a rich tea fragrance as soon as one entered, and there were already many people inside. It was not the traditional kind of teahouse hospitality.
The whole space was divided into several smaller rooms, all of which were covered by beautiful door curtains, giving it a vague sense of beauty. When the guests entered the small rooms, there would be a specialist who came in to brew some tea and explain the art to them.
"I didn't expect that you'd really come."
I had no idea where she popped out from, but Queenie smiled and led us into a room. Then, she squatted down at the table and served us.
Her temperament blended into the atmosphere. She seemed more at peace.
I looked at her quietly. I could see that Queenie was still a little rusty, but her movements were graceful and her explanation was in place. It felt like she was enjoying it.
I turned my head to look at Nicky, and she was also staring at Queenie. I noticed her expression. Perhaps she was thinking of not bringing up the topic of Queenie returning to her former career.
Time passed by quickly before we knew it. Queenie's explanation was quite rich and not boring, but Munchkin suddenly pulled the corner of my shirt. "Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom."
"Okay."
Queenie heard our conversation and said with a smile, "This tea needs to be tasted as soon as possible. I'll take him there and come back soon." "That doesn't seem right. I can take Munchkin there." As I said this, I was about to get up.
However, Queenie pressed me down, stood up, and pulled Munchkin up. "You should drink the tea. I'll take Munchkin. There's no need to worry about it."
"Okay then."
Queenie took Munchkin to the
bathroom while I stayed in the room.
I was thinking about the look on
Queenie's face earlier and felt that something was wrong. I looked at Nicky and asked, "Do you think Queenie was acting weird earlier?"
"What's up?" "I just think that it was odd."
I looked in the direction they left and said, "Why haven't they come back? I'll go and take a look."
When I got up, I walked toward the
bathroom, but there was no one
ve
inside. asked someone next to me, "Just now, one of your staff members went in there with a child. Did you happen to see them?"
"They seem to have gone to the back door."
"What?!"
