The Woman From Hell
Chapter 847

Chapter 847

"We can’t go visit you and the child empty-handed. We'll see what toys we can buy. I've been meaning to ask what Munchkin likes to eat too. We'll buy some vegetables and cook for him tomorrow."

Petra's voice came into my ears.

I gently sighed and said, "You really don't have to. Theo will ask someone to buy anything we lack. You just have to come over."

A low battery notification sounded from my phone. I took a look and did not wait for them to say anything else. I said, "My phone is running out of battery. Talk soon."

After hanging up the phone, I looked out the window, lost in thoughts.

Back then, Cecilia and I would share a bed. We often stayed up late talking about our lives in the future. We had agreed that neither of us would get married, and w e would work hard to earn money to buy a big house where the two of us would live. We would not concern ourselves with worldly affairs. The two of us would just live our own lives.

If she were still alive, she would probably change her mind just like me.

One’s mind changed with age. At this age, the happiest thing was to have our children, relatives, and family around us.

At the thought of this, I remembered Quinn. As my phone was running out of battery, I sent Theo a text and asked him to bring Quinn over tomorrow.

Although we had beef and would inevitably have conflicts in the future, we were still family, after all.

After sending the text message, my phone shut off completely.

I continued drinking my coffee when someone exclaimed behind me. I subconsciously turned around to look. It turned out that Matthew had entered the coffee shop.

His slender and cold body was straight and tall, though he seemed a little haggard and his short hair was slightly unkempt. He probably had not been putting any effort into taking care of his appearance.

He had an indifferent personality and was now standing with two people who were full of smiles, which made him seem even more cold and distant.

I sat by the window. If someone had not reminded him, he would not have turned to look straight at me either.

Therefore, the waitresses standing beside him were probably the ones who told him.

There were bad rumors about us going around. When I saw him looking at me, I quickly looked away I instantly regretted it in my heart. I should have left after drinking the glass of plain water.

Fortunately, Matthew did not come over. He merely glanced at me and found a seat with two of his peers.

I put down my coffee cup and grabbed my bag to leave.

When I got to the door of the coffee shop, I realized that it was raining and snowing outside.

Rain that was mixed with snow felt way colder when i t fell on the body.

I could run to my car in the rain and snow, but I was apprehensive of the cold. I stood at the door to pause for a moment.

An umbrella was held above my head. I did not turn sideways to look but I knew who it was without looking.

"Did you drive here or did you take a cab?"

The man's voice was cold and bland. His slender body had blocked off most of the cold wind when he stood beside me.

I looked up at the gloomy sky and said faintly, "I drove here."

He nodded. "I can walk you."

"No thanks," I said, refusing in a straightforward manner.

The chuckle that entered my ears sounded selfdeprecating. "You don't have to do this even if you hate me. I'm not a wolf or a tiger. You don't have to avoid me."

I pursed my lips and looked at my shoes that were wet from the rain. "You and Theo are both outstanding figures. You don’t have to hurt each other for someone who doesn't deserve it."

In the business world, it was best if everyone could work together for profit.

He sneered. “Are you feeling sorry for me or Theo?"
