The Woman From Hell
Chapter 756

Chapter 756

"Not telling the truth, are you?" Theo placed his hand under my armpit. Both his movements and eyes looked deeply threatening.

I was terrified of being tickled, so I quickly begged for mercy. "I may not remember anymore, but I can assure you that I didn’t build it with another man."

"Really?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

I nodded my head hard. "If I lie to you, my pants will b e on fire."

He was amused by my words. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, causing his laughs to be muffled. He finally stopped after a while.

"Is it fun to tease me?" I asked with a face full of helplessness.

Theo lifted his head and looked at me with a smile." It's pretty fun."

This man sometimes behaved just like a child.

"I’m upset that you didn't build a snowman with me in your dreams. How are you going to make it up to me?" Theo started demanding for more.

I fell silent for a few seconds before helplessly kissing his cheek. "Is this enough to make it up to you?"

Theo's gaze dimmed. He cupped my face, his slightly thin and cool lips coming close to mine. "I'm greedy. I want a lot of things."

A kiss fell, and the man's scorching breath almost burned me.

After a very long time, he let me go. "Wanda, you stole my heart a long time ago. If you make a request with a smile, that’s already enough for me to give you everything."

I froze, only coming back to my senses after a very long time. I embraced him tightly.

The warmth given by a man resembled a coat, blocking out the cold icy wind. It was like a glass of strong wine, warming the whole body after drinking, leaving one feeling drunk and dizzy.

This man left me intoxicated. It was as though this was the first time I saw him.

If life could be like how things were now and continued to remain this perfect, then I was willing to give it my best shot.

However, the heavens often did not hear my wishes. A call from Keith pulled us back to the cruel reality.

Keith sounded extremely anxious on the phone. I heard what he said. Grant Corporation's stock prices crashed again, and the loss was too much to estimate.

After hanging up the phone, Theo carried me out of bed with a calm composure and walked into the bathroom. "If it isn't because I'm worried that you’d be hungry, how I wish I can lay in bed with you all day.”

I looked at him, feeling very worried. "Grant Corporation's stock price is falling off a cliff. Is there any way to redeem the situation?”

He did not reply to my questions directly but kissed m y forehead and comforted me, saying, "Don't worry, nothing can beat me down."

I pursed my lips and said no more.

It was clearly an urgent matter, yet he was unhurried about it. After changing our clothes, we went downstairs.

As we ate, he offered to write a letter of recommendation for me and send it to Canona University.

He was an excellent graduate student back then and often donated to the university for many years even after he graduated. If he wrote a letter of recommendation and sent it to the university chancellor, I believed I would be accepted even without taking the exam.

I shook my head with a smile and declined his offer." You don't believe that I'm smart, huh?"

He chuckled. "I'm the one at fault here."

When Keith arrived, Theo was feeding me oatmeal. He wore his usual expression and did not seem awkward at all. "What should we do, Mr. Grant?"

It was even more impossible for Theo to feel awkward. He took a napkin and wiped my mouth, then he got up and said, "Serve them with the same sauce. I'm sure I don’t need to tell you what to do, right?”

I had a rough guess of who this person was.

Keith nodded. "I understand.”

After he left, Theo dragged me to the living room.
