The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1840

Chapter 1840



The ceremony was finally over.

Drover and Marius had to leave first, and the media in the venue were gradually dispersing as well.

When I went in, I heard the conversation of several reporters. "Director Doyle is quite the beauty, but I wonder what's with that scar on her face?"

"I heard she was wounded by a knife and it left a scar. It seems like it'll be permanent."

"That's a pity for such a pretty face."

Their conversation revived the guilt that had been suppressed in my heart.

Nicky was wounded entirely because she tried to save Munchkin, but I was jealous of her just now.

I lowered my head, and the indebtedness I felt for her in my heart seemed to have increased slightly.

The reporters seemed to have noticed me and walked over to come to greet me. "Mrs. Grant, why weren't you around just now? We were thinking of interviewing you."

"I don't think there's anything I could've answered you. You guys worked hard today."

"Nonsense. It's such a huge ceremony, and it's an honor for us to come over. We'll have to get going now, goodbye." "Goodbye."

After seeing them off, I continued to walk in and found Theo sitting in a chair in the center of the venue.

I walked over with a smile. He was closing his eyes and taking a rest. The guy must be exhausted.

"Theo," I whispered as I leaned close to his ear.

Hearing my voice, he came back to his senses. He opened his eyes, looked up at me, and hugged me. Then, he buried his head in my stomach like a small child.

I looked around and patted him. "It's not good for you to be seen acting like this."

"Let them watch. You're my wife, after all."

His voice was somewhat deep. I could not go against him and could only let him hold onto me.

After some time, I glanced over at the time and said," Alright. Let's head home now."

Only then did Theo raise his head and nod at me." Okay. Pull me up."

Then, he stretched his hands out. I looked at him, feeling at a loss. Even so, I held onto his hands and tried to pull him. The guy was slightly heavy, and my strength was insufficient, so I almost could not hold onto àìm. Theo quickly fell on top of me. We chuckled out loud simultaneously.

At this moment, it felt like we were high school sweethearts playing around, and it left a sweet taste in my heart.

"You're too heavy. I can't pull you up," I said while giggling.

"Says who? I'm already up." Theo could not hide the smile on his face.

I held onto his hand and straightened myself back up.

Coincidentally, Nicky happened to be coming over from outside. When she saw us, she waved. "I just sent some people from the newspaper outlet off and came back to get something, but I didn't expect you guys to still be there."

I could see the smile on Theo's face disappear immediately. He was always cold in front of outsiders.

"Yeah. You're just in time. We can head back home together. We'll wait for you right here."

"Okay." Nicky stepped inside to get her things.

I glanced at Theo beside me and shook my head helplessly. "What's with that expression of yours?"

"I'm just feeling regretful over losing our sweet time together."

I did not expect him to be so humorous, so I burst out into a peal of laughter. "That's enough from you. Then again, is Dr. Jenny of yours capable of doing her

work? Why isn't the scar on Nicky's face getting any better?"

This made Theo seem quite puzzled as well. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'll ask her once we get back." "Mm. Let me know what she says afterward."

"Yes, Ma'am."

Theo turned his head over to me, looking extremely obedient.

"I got them. Let's go." Nicky got her back and walked out of the venue, and just like that, our conversation ended as well.

As I looked at the scar on her face, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart...
