The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2097

What she said made me even more curious about her relationship with Matthew. They should not know each other. However, how could Nicky live in Matthew's house with such peace of mind if they did not?

Could it be that the two of them…

I rejected my own thoughts in the next second. No, the two of them would not have had any emotional entanglement.

Nicky was facing me with a smile hidden in her eyes. "You must really want to ask just what is my relationship with Matthew, yes?"

"Do you want to tell me?" I asked directly, not wanting to waste any time.

I kept standing at the door because I was worried about what she might do to me.

It was broad daylight now with people coming and going outside. I wondered if she would make a move.

Nicky did not invite me into the house either. She raised her head slightly. "There isn’t anything that I can’t share anyway since he’s been sentenced now. He won't be out for a while, and I have nothing to hide."

"Is there a deal between you two?" This was the only thing I can think of.

Nicky shook her head. The smile she wore was intriguing, and her eyes stayed on the green plants in the garden which Matthew had grown before. She picked up the garden hose at the side and began tending the plants.

Her expression was very relaxed. It was like she was telling me a story. "I guess you can call it a partnership."

"A partnership?"
