The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2443

Shannon shrugged. Her originally tense expression gradually relaxed after hearing what I said. She was probably relieved since she felt that I had no thoughts about him.

She patted me on the shoulder. “Forget it, just leave him alone. Let’s go to the hotel.”

After floundering about for a day, we finally managed to check in.

Lying on the not-so-soft hotel bed, my mind was filled with the children.

I had requested Marius to help me take the two children out before I left and did not know how the situation was now.

Thinking of this, I took out my cell phone and called Marius, but there was no answer.

Could something have happened?

I was a little worried and dialed a number I had not dialed in a long time.

“Wanda?”

The familiar voice sounded from the phone, carrying a hint of exhaustion. Come to think of it, he probably just got done with work.

I replied lightly, “Hello, I wanted to ask where Marius is. I just gave him a call, but he didn’t answer.”

Across the phone, Drover was faintly taken aback before he answered, “He left my place about 20 minutes ago. He said he was going to help you with something.”

Hearing this, I heaved a sigh of relief.

“So, that’s the case. Good. That’s all, then. Thank you. You’re busy, yeah? I won’t bother you, then.”

It felt like it had been a long time since I last interacted with Drover. We were so obviously awkward now even across the phone.

I was in a hurry to hang up, but Drover spoke again, “Wanda.”

Hearing him call me, I put the phone to my ear again. “What is it?”

“Uhm… we’ll talk again some other time,” he said after quite a moment of silence.

He finally wanted to break free from the past this time. I smiled. “Okay.”

“Have an early rest. Good night.”
