The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1009

He did not talk to me again after that and concentrated on eating the wheat flour soup.

Of course, I was not going to start a conversation with him when he was eating, so I sat down on a chair and quietly watched him eat.

After a while, he looked up at me. His gaze sank slightly. "Was life hard when you were in Zenon?”

I froze and looked at him in surprise. "How did you know that I lived in Zenon?"

The man laughed. "How hard could it be for me to find out?"

After a pause, he continued, "I know that you have a sandalwood box, and since I want that box, I had to investigate you. Isn't it very normal for me to know these things?"

His words made sense, so I nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing that he was merely staring at me without saying anything, I guessed he must be waiting for me t o reply to his earlier question.

Feeling a little helpless, I said, "How could life be hard? Although I wasn't leading a luxurious life, I had everything I needed. Besides, Zenon had a slow pace o f life and I always felt at peace when I was there. It's

just way better than here."

Jordan smiled slightly and put the bowl on the bedside table. His gaze silently fell on my face. "Do you regret choosing Theo?"

I was stunned by the question and did not know how t o answer him. I got up and said, "There's some soup left in the kitchen. Do you want some more?"

Jordan narrowed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "No.”

We did not talk much after that. Seeing that it was getting late, I returned to my own room.

Lying in bed at night, I recalled Jordan's question.

Did I regret marrying Theo?

I pursed my lips and looked out the window.
