The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1212

Chapter 1212

Mr. Collins was in high spirits, so he guffawed and said, "There's no need to be so polite, Wanda. Just ask

whatever you want."

"You mentioned my mother when we were eating in the restaurant last time. I'd like to ask about her."

Mr. Collins sat straight and asked, "Are you really her daughter?"

"I'm an orphan she adopted."

Mr. Collins nodded. After a few minutes of silence, he looked at Theo andand said, "It's no wonder your

grandpa wanted her to marry you."

"Can you get straight to the point, Grandpa? Stop being mysterious." Shannon was an anxious person, so she

quickly urged him.

"I don’t know much about your mother, actually. | only knew her because of Theo's grandmother. All | know is

that she’s from Whaldorf City. She moved alone to other cities after that because of sthings. | don’t really

know what happened after that."

| hurriedly asked, "Did she have any relatives?”

Mr. Collins thought about it and said, "I'm sure she did. She was from Whaldorf City, so all her relatives should be

there. But it has been so many years, so I'm afraid her relatives would have either passed away or are no longer

in the city. You know how tough life was back then for everyone."

I nodded and asked no more.

Mr. Collins did not know much, so it was hard to get an answer from him.

Moreover, this had happened in the past. Mother had never said a word about her past. Maybe she really did not

wantto know about it, yet | always insisted on knowing.

One could hear the call of various animals and insects at night in the resort. This was something one would

never hear in the city.

Mr. Collins was not in very good health, so he needed to sleep and wake up early.

After the caretaker helped him upstairs, Shannon held my arm and looked at Theo with a grin, saying, "Mr. Grant,

we agreed that Wanda will sleep withtonight. You can't snatch her away."

Theo frowned slightly, his gaze falling on me. Although he did not say anything, his intentions were clear.

| felt my head hurt and said to Shannon, " It's getting late. Let's head upstairs and go to bed."

Having said that, | got up and prepared to go upstairs.

The caretaker had already tidied up the guest room, so she led us upstairs straight away.

Shannon complained grumpily, "You value romance over friendship, Wanda. You've forgotten your bestie now

that you have a husband. You can be together anytime, so why can’t you sleep withfor one night?"

Seeing the pitiful look on her face, | could not bear it anymore and even thought what she said was right.

"Theo-"

"| can't sleep when I'm outside alone.” Theo cutoff.

Theo looked at Shannon and said with a slight smile, "You probably prefer to have Jordan sleep with you than my

wife, right? How about I call him to cover?"
