The Woman From Hell

Chapter 617

Theo glanced at Zedd and mocked him with me. "If you don't have a wife, then get one. Don’t talk nonsense just because you're jealous."

Seeing that Theo had picked my side, Zedd’s expression sank but he said no more. He turned around grumpily to get his boarding ticket.

Theo took me straight to the boarding gate. We arrived late but were just in time to check-in.

After entering the first-class cabin, Theo asked the flight attendant for a blanket and lowered the seat. The seats in the first-class cabin were spacious.

Afraid that I would be bored, he turned on a show.

He then lay beside me and pulled me into his arms to watch the show with me. "It's going to be a ten-hour flight. What would you like to watch?"

I did not have the habit of catching up on dramas. I cast my mind back to the time Cecilia stayed up all night to catch up on cartoons in university and smiled. "I want to watch Ben 10"

Theo frowned. "Ben 10?"

Seeing the expression on his face, I realized what was going on and asked him incredulously with my eyes wide open. "Don't tell me you haven't watched it

before?"

He shook his head.

I twitched my mouth. "You don’t have a childhood."

Thinking about it, a child born into an elite family like him would have almost no chance of watching cartoons like that.

Theo helplessly smiled. "Let me make up for my lost childhood now, then."

I nodded. "I think it’s very necessary."

After finding the cartoon, we began watching the first episode. It was rare that he would watch something with me with such concentration. He was not the slightest bored at all.

When Zedd came over and saw what we were both watching, he was speechless. "How old are you?"

I did not want to entertain him at first, but when I turned around and saw the contemptuous look on his face, I could not help but say, "You may not be able to understand it even if you watch this at 80 years old."

He glared at me and said to Theo, "I think your IQ will drop."

Theo looked up at him and raised his eyebrows. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Zedd,"..."

After the plane took off, he was probably bored too.

Hence, he simply switched on his player and looked sideways at me, asking, "Is this cartoon good?"

Another one without childhood.

Theo sneered. "Ben 10."

"What's so nice about it?" He mumbled and switched o n the player.

No one could escape the act of hypocrisy. I grew drowsy after watching and fell asleep. Theo slept with me. Zedd, however, had a lot of fun watching the show until the plane landed in Salt City's airport.

It was already early in the morning when we left the airport. Even though we had slept on the plane, we still felt very sleepy at the moment.

Theo had assigned a driver in advance, so after getting in the car, I was hit by a wave of drowsiness. H e held me in his arms and said, "Sleep, I'll carry you upstairs when we get home."

I thought I would wake up when Theo carried me out o f the car when we got home but I did not. Instead, I slept until the next morning.

Theo was not beside me. I did not see him even after getting out of bed, washing up, and going downstairs. I figured he had probably gone out to work so I did not think much about it.

Miss Woods was working in the kitchen. Salt City was warming up. The sun at seven or eight in the morning felt warm on the skin. I stretched my body and walked into the kitchen, asking Miss Woods, "When is breakfast going to be ready?"

"You must be hungry already." Miss Woods seemed to be in a good mood as she had a dazzling smile on her face. "It's ready. We were just waiting for you to come down and eat. Why don't you go to the dining area first? I'll bring it there for you right away."

As this was only breakfast, Miss Woods did not prepare anything too heavy, so all of them were light foods. I had a good appetite, downing a bowl of oatmeal and even eating two pancakes.
