The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 676

He looked at me. "There have been massive changes i n Whaldorf City in the last three years. Don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Should I go back?

It seemed that it was bound to happen sooner or later.

I did not say anything, so he thought I did not intend t o go back. He sighed softly. "Mrs. Grant, I know you may not believe what I'm about to say and maybe even think that I'm speaking for him because I work for him, but I can assure you that everything I say is true."

After a pause, he continued, "After your departure, there wasn't a single day when Mr. Grant did not miss you. There were several times when he could not hold himself back from wanting to find out your whereabouts, yet at the same time, he was afraid that you would not want to see him at all. He was afraid that you would be in even more pain after seeing him, so he suppressed his feelings for you. When he could not hold back any longer, he would numb himself with work and alcohol.

"In the first winter after you left, he got drunk and lay o n the street all night. He caught a high fever when he went home the next day. He said that the previous night was the happiest he's been all year because he

saw you smiling at him and forgiving him."

His eyes were a little pink, and his voice turned hoarse. "He's ruthless in the business world during the day and not a single weakness of his can be caught. But when night falls, he would get terribly wasted. Every night was a struggle to get by. The only way for him to get through it was to get himself drunk. Sometimes when he saw me while he was drunk, he would pull me and ask, 'Should I go and see her? At least I can look at her from afar.' But when he sobered up the next day, he would become reticent again."

I clasped my hands together after hearing what he said.

He stopped the car and turned around to look at me with a pleading gaze. "You care about him too, Mrs. Grant. Life is hard as it is, why make it even harder?"

I heard everything from Keith about Theo in the past three years that I did not know.

I was quite shocked. I used to think that Theo would live life the way he wanted after I left, but certainly not like this.

After picking Munchkin up, we went home.

Keith got out of the car and said, "Mr. Grant is returning to Whaldorf City tonight."

He said those words and left.
