The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1809

Before going to bed that night, Nicky texted me: [Are we going to the teahouse tomorrow?]

She truly still missed Queenie.

I turned my head and looked at Theo who was working hard. "We bumped into Queenie on the road yesterday. She’s currently working in a teahouse, and Nicky and I plan to visit her tomorrow. Would you like to go together?"

Without waiting for Theo to respond, Munchkin, who was sleeping in the middle, suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Teahouse? I wanna go!"

"Hey, little guy, were you pretending to be asleep?" I rubbed his little head.

"Mommy, I just laid down. How can I fall asleep so quickly?" Munchkin opened his eyes and said as he looked at me.

At this moment, Theo said, "I still have work tomorrow. You should go with Munchkin. Be careful on the road. Call me if there's anything."

"Sure."

Since work came first, I did not try to force Theo. The three of us going was fine. If Theo were around, Nicky and Queenie might feel even more awkward.

I replied to Nicky: [Okay, let's head over in the afternoon.] Then, I quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

Before going out, I glanced at Theo, who was working hard at the desk. I told him, "I'll call you downstairs for lunch when I come back."

"Be careful on the road." He looked up at me and advised gently.

After closing the door, I took Munchkin to Nicky's room. She just came out. "We can go now, Wanda."

The teahouse was not far from our hotel, and it was just two blocks away.

The teahouse had a quaint atmosphere. One could smell a rich tea fragrance as soon as one entered, and there were already many people inside. It was not the traditional kind of teahouse hospitality.

The whole space was divided into several smaller rooms, all of which were covered by beautiful door curtains, giving it a vague sense of beauty. When the guests entered the small rooms, there would be a specialist who came in to brew some tea and explain the art to them.
