The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1946

When I asked Drover that, he lowered his eyes and said nothing for a long time.

Realizing my misstep, I said softly, "Sorry, I'm just too anxious."

He gave me a slight smile. "It's okay." His tone was still so soft as if he really did not mind it.

Drover took away the lunch box after we were done eating.

We were leaving here tomorrow. Thinking that I might catch some news outside, I went out for a walk.

My walk ended up lasting a bit long, and it took me three hours to get back to the hotel.

When I came back, Drover was pacing at the entrance of the hotel lobby anxiously. When he saw me, he trotted up toward me with a flustered expression and worry written all over his face. "Where did you go? I almost called the police. You weren’t answering your phone either."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't bring my phone along. I just went out to relax. I feel much better now,” I explained to him.

Seeing Drover's relieved appearance, I was stunned for a moment. He then replied, "It's fine. It's getting late. Go back to your room and rest."

We both took the elevator up.

In the elevator, I glanced at him. He looked to be a little pale from worrying too much about me.

Did he really think of me as just a friend?

I frowned and subconsciously took a step to the side.

Noticing my action, Drover looked at me and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and pretended that everything was fine. "It’s nothing. We’re here."

I was the first to go out when the elevator arrived.

Back in my room, I suddenly thought back to the day we left Whaldorf City. In his desperation, he told Marius the password to the villa, but he was someone who was so obviously intensely vigilant. He only revealed the password because he wanted to come with me.

I bit my lower lip. Did he really think of me another way?
