The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1683

He did not sigh, but his tone was solemn as he said, "You've always known what I worry about."

"That's why I'm telling you you don't have to take this so seriously," I replied in a deliberately nonchalant tone, hoping my relaxed way of speaking would influence him to feel the same.

We were not in the mood to have anything in particular when we arrived at the shopping mall, so we picked a cafe at random and ordered a set meal.

Theo soon finished his food and took his tablet out so he could continue working. I grew bored and felt my heart ache as I watched him work.

However, if I did not let him work now, my heart would ache even more when I watched him work late into the night.

Thus, I had no choice but to finish my steak in silence.

We got into the car again when we finished our meal, and I felt myself growing sleepy.

Theo reached over to help me fasten my seatbelt, and I gazed at him with narrowed eyes.

"Don’t look at me like that. You're making things dangerous for yourself."

He did not grin evilly this time, and I could tell he was being serious.

I hurriedly shut my eyes obediently.

"Rest well. TH take you back to the office."

I hurriedly asked, "We’re not going to the entertainment company?"

"Why would we go there again? You were so eye-catching this morning that everyone’s going to stare at you if you go there now. How would you be able to rest?"

He had a point. The women enjoyed gossip so much that they had probably already caused a stampede in my office.

Thus, I decided against it and obediently settled down in the passenger seat.

Theo’s driving had become much steadier, and I did not feel a single bump even when we had already arrived at our destination.

When the car pulled to a complete stop, he got out of the car and closed the door gently. By the time I opened my puffy eyes, he had already come over to my side of the car.

He unfastened my seatbelt for me, and I was just about to get out of the car when he took me into his arms.

That startled me, and I hurriedly wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Go back to sleep. I'll take you upstairs."

He turned and closed the door before striding over to the elevator.
