The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1248

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the crowd in the distance in a daze

When one was a certain age, one would prefer to live a stable life.

A person would always need a home, family, and friends no matter what.

Theo and Cindy looked cheerful when they returned

The two had bought a lot of good food. Theo sat down besideand handedthe ice cream in his hand with

a smile. “Try it.” | tasted it and commented, "It's too sweet.”

"If you don't like it, then don’t eat it.” Theo got up and threw the ice cream into the trash bin.

| looked at him and said with an indifferent tone, "It's getting late. We should go back."

| got up and walked forward as | said that.

| did not say anything on the way and merely listened to Theo and Cindy quietly.

When we got back to the accommedation, | turned around and looked at Theo." Shannon and | are staying

together. You should stay in another room.”

I quickly walked into the elevator after saying that.

| was both tired and sleepy. | wanted nothing but to go to bed immediately, which was why | did not want Theo to

stay in the sroom as me. | feared that | might not be able to stop myself from arguing with him.

When | got to the door of the room and had just opened it, a man ran inside before me.

| was startled and took several steps backward. "Who are you?”

The lights in the room lit up. It was Theo.

He glanced around to check if there was someone else in the room before asking me. "Didn't you say that you're

staying with Shannon?" | frowned. "I'm staying with her, but she hasn't cback."

| walked into the room after saying that.

As | did not want to argue with him, | changed my clothes and planned to wash up before bed.

Theo walked into the bathroom withand embracedfrom the back. He rested his chin on my shoulder and

asked with a smile, “Are you angry?"

| shook my head. “No, I'm just a little tired.

| was too tired to get angry at him

"Go wash up. then.”

“Mm.”

After washing up, | climbed into bed and got ready to sleep.

Theo grabbed a set of pajamas and walked into the bathroom. After coming out, he climbed into bed and

embraced me. “You're upset.” | allowed him to hold me. “As my husband, Theo, you're very unqualified after

what happened today.”

Although I did not want to argue with him, | felt uncomfortable bottling up my grievances. Hence. | still could not

stop myself from voicing my displeasure toward him.

Theo kissed my forehead. “How am | unqualified?”

| said a little grievously, "You shouldn't have leftalone in the square and left with her for so long.”

| understood that he felt obliged to take care of Cindy and pamper her like his sister. | had long gotten used to it.

However, | still felt uncomfortable seeing him interacting so intimately with Cindy.

Theo chuckled and said a little helplessly.” | saw that you were tired, so | didn't bring you along. Besides, |

arranged my men to be around you.” | pursed my lips. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed.”

| could not proceed with the conversation or he might think that | was being

overtic.

Theo held my hand. "Are you jealous?"

| chuckled and pretended to say nonchalantly, "You already said that you're merely treating her as your sister, so

why should | be angry?"

Theo gently sighed. "It's my fault. I'll pay attention next tand put you first no matter when. | promise to be a

qualified husband, okay?”

My mouth twitched. “You do whatever you want. | have nothing to do with it. Besides, I'm not a narrow-minded

person. I'm just trying to remind you." "I understand.”

Theo smiled slightly and pinched my chin before planting a kiss.

Seeing the profound look in his eyes, | had a bad feeling in my heart. "It's getting late, Theo. It's tto sleep.”

Theo said maliciously, "You can sleep first.”

How could | possibly sleep?

The project went on smoothly without further hiccups.

The parts that Grant Corporation and Fredericks Corporations needed to work together on were almost coming to

an end too.

Each was responsible for their respective duties after this. My next job was only to supervise the C> project, so it

was not something that wauld be too tiring. Contentbelongs to -

Cally had also recently been more idle.

After organizing the work progress, she handed it to me.

"You have to handle the rest from now on. | have to go back to the company now."

| said with a smile, "Sure, thanks for all the help during this time."

Lally gently sighed. "There's a lot of work waiting forto handle at the head office.

I have to continue to work hard."

Although she was Jordan's secretary, she was doing work that was not only limited to a secretary's work. Take

now, for example. There were several projects she was responsible for, all of which were waiting for her to

handle. She chere to helpwith this project because Jordan was worried that | was not able to handle it

well After sending Lally away, | went through several documents.

At noon, Shannon gavea call

| thought she called to invitefor lunch, but she said that she was going back to the city instead

| was a little curious. “Why are you suddenly going back?”

Theoretically speaking, she should be wherever Jordan was, so why was she going back alone?

‘I've been herevor several days now and have toured the whole place. I've tried allthe local foods too. It's too

borirtg to stay here all the time. Ill gob back to the city to ask Nina andthe rest out. Let's hang ut when you

return to the ci ty Content ©

Shannon would surely fee! bored staying here all the time. After all, none of us had tto keep her company.

“Okay.” | chuckled. "I still have work to finish, so | won't be able to see you off. Drive safe. I'll contact you when |

go back to the city."

" Okay.”

Shannon was in no hurry to hang up the phane. "I have a question thatT must ask you. What's with Theo’and

that Cindy lady? Is she somesort of a crazy ex?" ite) .Org

"| guess you can say that."

"That lady may seem soft and gentle, but she’s even harder to deal with than Elena. Are you fine by yourself?" |

smiled slightly. “Don't worry. Theo just treats her as a sister."

"It's precisely because he treats her as a sister that she's difficult to deal with.

Unlike Elena, Theo merely treats her as a

subordinate. She's not that hard to handle.”

"Okay, | know what to do."

We then spoke a while more before hanging up the call.

Krayden appeared at my office door. “Have you eaten, Ms. Lane? If not, then let's have a meal together.”

I nodded. "Sure."

After leaving the office, Krayden said, "I heard that a third party has joined this project, so we might have to

liaise with the third party after this." There was surely going to be a third party in this project. It was just a

matter of time.

| nodded. "Have everyone get ready, then.
