The Woman From Hell
Chapter 757

Chapter 757

I nestled on the sofa and looked at Theo. "Keith is even more capable than before now."

He nodded, not saying much. He walked up to me and picked me up. Both of us squeezed on the sofa. It was not exactly cramped, but it was a little cramped compared to a bed.

All day long, he stayed at home with me and we quietly enjoyed the rare peace.

Mason did not come again, and neither did Quinn. My emotions finally calmed down.

On this day, Jerome came to see me. He sat in the living room in a languid and lazy demeanor, looking a t me as he asked, "What do you plan to do after the exam? Do you want to go on a vacation?"

I froze, then shook my head. "I haven't thought about i t yet."

He thought about it. "When the time comes, let’s go on a trip together."

Why did he suddenly want to go on a trip?

In my impression, he was an especially nerdy man. He would not want to move after staying in a place long enough. Rather than going on trips, he was happier staying at home.

Sensing my confusion, he sighed helplessly. "Maybe it's because I'm getting old now, I always feel dead inside if I don't go on trips and find things to do."

I nodded. “The world is such a big place. It's a good idea to see the world while you're still alive."

Jerome picked up the apple on the fruit plate and nibbled on it.

"I rented a studio in Whaldorf City before this and waited for the smell to dissipate after the renovation. Now that the smell has dissipated considerably, it's ready for business. You can go there

and take a look when you're free."

I was still wondering why he was always in Whaldorf City. It turned out that he had moved his business here.

"What made you want to come to Whaldorf City?" I asked curiously.

It would be tough for him to start his counseling business in Whaldorf City without anywork.

"I didn't want to come here either." Jerome bit down o n the apple hard as though he was venting his anger.

"Xander is about to take over all of the Nietzsches' business. Petra listed her condition, which is that he has to come to Whaldorf City to develop his career. Hence, I had no choice but to follow along."

If it were not for Xander's father, Petra might not even have her achievements today. Therefore, Petra would not keep the Nietzsches' business to herself. At least not now.

She intended to keep the business to herself back then, but perhaps some things had made her change her mind.

I cast my eyes down. "It's pretty nice to have you here i n Whaldorf City. In that case, I can see you more often from now on. We can take care of each other.”

We engaged in idle talks all the way till noon. I wanted him to stay back for lunch at first, but Theo had booked a table at a restaurant. Jerome did not want to go after learning about it and drove off straight away.

Keith came to pick me up. When I entered the private room and saw Tyler and Susan, I was slightly surprised.

On the phone, Theo did not tell me that we were having lunch with them.

After nearly a month since we last met, Susan's belly had grown in size considerably, though she seemed a little haggard.

After several interactions, I found her likable for her demure, elegant, gentle, and sensible demeanor. A woman like her was probably one who was most in line with the standard of a dutiful wife.

If Tyler was sincere about being together with her, he was definitely going to be happy.

Seeing me, she covered her belly and stood up to greet

me.

I quickly went over and supported her, saying with a smile, "We're a family. You’re too polite.”

She let out a tender smile. "Proper manners are still important."

"You seem to have lost weight again," Tyler said with a frown, looking at me.

Having said that, he cast a stern gaze at Theo, clearly blaming him for not taking good care of me.
