The Woman From Hell

Chapter 823 Theo drank a lot of wine last night and after working all day, he looked extremely worn out when he chat night.

When he sawstanding in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, he walked behindand tookinto his arms. He asked in a warm and tender voice, "Why didn't you givea call when I wasn't hyet even at such a late hour?" Hearing the blin his tone, I laughed. "You've been very busy lately. I was worried that I'd disturb you." I turned around and saw the stubble on his chin. My heart sank a little.

He was truly too busy and too tired.

"Nothing is more important than you," Theo kissed my cheek as he said.

I felt a gush of warmth in my heart. "What do you want to have for tonight? I'll cook for you." Theo chuckled. "Maybe I should do it." I raised my eyebrows. "Are you saying that my cooking skills are bad?" "I wouldn't dare." He would not dare? That meant that my cooking skills were indeed bad yet he dared not say it.

I glared at him and struggled out of his embrace." Remember to keep it plain. Munchkin is ill." "When did Mason leave?" Theo asked.

Keith had definitely informed him about Munchkin catching a cold and Mason dropping by. Hence, I was not surprised that he knew.

"He left after lunch." I went to the living room to pour a glass of water and put it in his hands.

Theo finished drinking the water and said with a smile, "What a thoughtful wife." I pursed my lips and wondered if I should ask him about Matthew.

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Theo held my hand and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you happy?" I looked up at him. "I saw on the news that you've acquired a lot of shares from many shareholders of Zimmer Corporations. Are you trying to cooperate with Zimmer Corporations?" How could acquiring a company's shares mean that one wanted cooperation? It could only mean annexing.

I cursed myself inwardly for being foolish as soon as I asked the question.

Actually, even if I did not ask the foolish question, Theo's keen insight alone was enough for him to realize what I truly wanted to ask.

As expected, his expression sank. "Did someone say something to you?" As soon as he said that, he realized that his tone was a little too heavy. He quickly salvaged the situation. "I'll handle the business. You don't have to worry, okay?" Although he had tried his best to soften his tone, I could still hear the coldness in his voice.

He did not wantto get involved. This was between them as men. He had his own ways of dealing with it. This was what he was trying to say.

I cast my eyes down and looked at my toes. "Okay." Theo lowered his head to kiss my forehead and said gently, "I'll go and cook." "Okay." Not long after he walked into the kitchen, he cout again to answer a call.

When I saw him rushing upstairs in a hurry, I knew that there was something urgent he needed to do.

I sighed softly and walked into the kitchen.

Theo would forget the twhen he was buried in work, hence I fixed ssandwiches so it would be easier for him to eat as he worked.

I went upstairs with the sandwiches and got to the door of the study. I heard Theo speaking.

The door of the study was ajar, and he was talking on the phone.

Unsure what was said on the other side of the phone, h e suddenly clenched the pen in his hand and stabbed it hard at the table. As if once was not enough, he continued stabbing a few times, obviously holding back the anger in his heart.

"Are you done talking?" he asked coldly.

"How are we considered best friends? You don't know a thing about business so mind your own affairs." He hung up after saying that.

I could see the viciousness on his face and felt my heart turn slightly cold.

I had not seen this frightening side of Theo for many years.

After scribbling a few words on the paper, he suddenly hurled the pen away. His movements were so big that he knocked off a glass beside him.

His expression did not change as he picked up the cup. He slowly and methodically drew out tissues to dry the water on the table.

At this point, he had gone back to being the calm Theo.

He had been in the business field for many years and was no longer the Theo who wore his emotions on his face. I cast my eyes down and lifted my hand to knock on the door.

Theo raised his head. When he sawstanding at the door, the viciousness on his face vanished completely and he said with a slight smile, "I'm sorry, I totally forgot about cooking." "It's alright." I walked over and put the plate on the desk. "I made sandwiches. Just make do and have some." He let out a tender smile. He then picked a sandwich u p and ate it elegantly.

When I saw the water on his table that had not been completely wiped dry, I drew out a few tissues and wiped it again. "How's Quinn doing?" Speaking of which, Quinn was Matthew's stepmother, so she was considered to be Theo and Matthew's relative to a certain extent.

Theo nodded faintly. "She should be okay." My gaze fell on a document on the desk and I froze.

It was a business plan to acquire Zimmer Corporations, and it was drafted two years ago.

However, why did it take him so long to sign it now? The water had splashed on it a little and sof the words were smudged. I pointed at it. "What should we do with this?" Theo was nonchalant about it. "I have another copy." I pursed my lips and did not ask any questions.

When he was done eating the sandwich, I asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" He nodded. "So delicious."

Having said that, he hugged my waist and kissedon the cheek. "Keith toldthat Susah is getting discharged. Let's go over tomorrow and have a look." It was rare that he remembered these trivial matters. I nodded with a smile. "Okay." When I remembered that his vasectomy procedure had not been reversed, I quickly said, "Just in tto reverse the procedure." He pursed his lips slightly. "What procedure?" "Stop pretending."

I looked helplessly at him. "Sthings always have to pass. I've thought about it. Munchkin belongs to the Lynches, after all. Besides, 1 talked to Mason today and he agreed to let us continue to raise Munchkin. And I agreed to let him visit Munchkin anytime. During holidays, Munchkin can also go on a vacation at the Lynches' residence for a period of tif thesituation allows." Theo was a little stunned. "You agreed to it?"

I nodded. "He is Munchkin's father, after all. I have no right to stop Besides, he'll definitely fight for NO him.

Munchkin's custody if I don't agree.

It's also tfor us to have a child of our own." I clearly noticed his body going stiff for a moment. He embracedand said with a smile, "Alright, I'll reverse it." There was finally something worth being happy about during this period of time.

As for Matthew's affair, I figured perhaps it was best if I did not interfere.

After going downstairs and seeing Munchkin hugging Snowy on the sofa, I walked over and asked him with a smile, "Are you hungry?" Munchkin nodded. "I am." I rubbed his head and walked toward the kitchen. " Wait a while, I'll grab you a sandwich." Munchkin was not a picky eater, so he did not protest even when the food was plain.

After eating, he asked about Theo.
