The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2729

"I'll reply to him."

Just when I was going to take back my phone, Theo kept it away from me again. I was puzzled and he said, "There's no rush."

"Why not?"

"You’ve got to let him know that you're not in a hurry. Then he’ll be the one who becomes antsy instead." Theo smiled at me meaningfully.

I suddenly understood. "You're such a fox, how cunning of you."

Theo's expression was smug as he returned the phone to me. "The key is to have the ball firmly in your court. It can also make him less wary of us."

"Yes, you're right. I do have to be patient."

After regaining my senses, I was no longer obsessed about replying to him. It was like Theo had said, if Sylvester was smart, he would definitely choose to cooperate with us.

Ding!

The phone rang again. It was another message from Sylvester.

I shared the message content with Theo. [?]

It was just a question mark.

Theo and I looked at each other and smiled.

I locked the screen again. "Sylvester is probably very anxious now. He's probably guessing what I'm doing."

"If he's really in a hurry, he might come here himself to look for you soon." Theo smiled slightly, seemingly confident.

"I'll reply to him when he sends another message again. If not, it'll look too deliberate."

Theo did not object to what I said, likely agreeing with my idea.

However, the phone remained silent for the next two hours.

"Could he have given up?" I asked.
