The Woman From Hell
Chapter 846

Chapter 846

There were no fresh flowers at home, and cauliflower had the word 'flower' in it, so at least that accounted for something.

Keith looked at the cauliflower in his hands, then at m e. He suppressed his slightly twitching lips and hesitated for a very long time before leaving with the cauliflower.

After he left, I went to the cloakroom to change my clothes and quickly packed my things before going out of the door.

Susan and I agreed to meet at one o'clock in the afternoon, but it was only half-past 12 now, so there was still half an hour left until the appointed time. Hence, I went to a nearby cafe and waited there.

As I had appeared on TV several times, the waitress recognized me when she came forward and looked surprised. Fortunately, she was polite and merely smiled at me. "What would you like to drink, Ma'am?"

I smiled slightly. "The person I'm waiting for isn't here yet. Please give me a glass of water first."

The waitress nodded with a smile before turning around and leaving.

She poured a glass of water and put it in front of me,

saying softly, "You can get me any time if you need any help.”

I nodded. "Thank you."

She returned to the bar counter and started speaking t o her colleague in hushed voices. The two looked at m e from time to time. They were clearly talking about m e.

I drew back my gaze, picked up the glass, and looked out the window.

So far, most of the trending searches were about Grant Corporation and Zimmer Corporations. I would sometimes catch a glimpse, but I only took a look. It was not like I could not ask Theo anything about it.

Matthew took on a more radical approach after his parents' passing. Resentment and pain had grown infinitely in his heart and it was impossible to stop. I had no right to blame him and merely hoped he could one day let it all go.

As for Cindy, I did not ask Theo which option she chose. I knew that no matter which path she took, she and Theo would no longer have anything to do with each other.

There were some people who would sooner or later turn into strangers.

When I finished the water in the glass, it was one o'clock but Susan had not given me a call yet.

I was just about to call her when she called me first.

As soon as I answered the call, she eagerly said, "I'm really sorry, Wanda. The baby is suddenly down with fever and I've just brought him to the hospital. The next one's on me for sure."

I nodded. "It's fine. The baby is more important."

She was anxious about her child, so I did not ask any more questions and hung up.

Seeing the empty glass on the table, I gently sighed.

Since I was already here, I should not leave after just ordering a glass of water. I simply beckoned to the waitress and ordered a cup of coffee.

The waitress quickly served my coffee, and while I was drinking it, I received a phone call from an unfamiliar number. When I saw that the number was from Whaldorf City, I answered it.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Wanda...” The man’s low and attractive voice rang in my ears.

I could hear that it was Grayson talking.

"Hi," I said blandly, "How can I help you?"

On the other end of the call, he seemed to be deliberating his words for a moment before saying," Are you free recently? It's New Year’s tomorrow and your mom and I would like to visit you and Munchkin. Why don’t we count down to the new year together?"

Grayson, the living king of hell and whose name could send shivers down one's spine had suddenly become careful with his words now that he was talking to me, his daughter.

I felt a pang in my heart and took a sip of water to moisten my dry throat. "Sure."

As though he did not expect me to agree, Grayson said in both a surprised and delighted tone, "That's awesome! I'm glad you agree. Your mother and I will g o over earlier tomorrow. What do you like to eat? Your mom and I will make it and bring it over for you. Also, what does Munchkin like? Can we bring any toys that are suitable for little boys?"

He was too happy, just like a child.

I pursed my lips. "He has enough toys. Just come over. You don't have to buy him anything."
