The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1003

Jordan put down the cup of tea in his hand and looked at me, saying, "I'll bring all your friends away. I'll send someone over to pick you all up tomorrow."

Sometimes, surprises could leave a person's mind blank. I looked at him for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Seeing my reaction, he said with a faint smile, "The Fredericks have ways to accomplish something if they set their hearts on doing it. Since I've agreed to take you and your friends with me, I'll get it done no matter how hard it might be."

I pursed my lips, feeling more or less puzzled.

Although I did not know how close he and Milan were, he was bound to have a conflict with Milan if he took me away.

This was a thankless task and would do him no good.

Why was he helping me?

After a moment's hesitation, I looked at him and said," I want to know why you're helping me."

Fredericks raised his eyebrows. "Will you believe me if I say that I feel differently about you?" "I won't,” I replied decisively.

We were no longer teenagers who would fall in love after meeting each other a few times. This would only appear in novels. The adult world was not so much about love at first sight anymore.

Besides, I did not think I was an ethereal beauty who could get anyone to fall in love with me at first sight.

Jordan smiled slightly, the coldness in his eyes dissipating. "It’s not a good thing when a woman is overly clear-headed. You can be slightly dazed at times to get a lot of love from others.”

I pursed my lips, not finding his words touching but coldly revolting.

After a long silence, I said, "I hope you’ll tell me the truth, Mr. Fredericks."

"Alright, then.” Jordan sighed and asked, "Do you remember where we first met?"

"Salt City’s cemetery."

He nodded, fixing his gaze on me. "In front of your mother’s tombstone.”
