The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 710

I did not sleep the whole night. The doorbell rang the next morning. I opened the door, and unsurprisingly, I saw Theo.

Our eyes met. We had not seen each other all night and he already looked a little wretched.

He did not shave when he woke up this morning, and his clothes were probably the same as the ones he wore yesterday.

"Can I come in?" he asked, his voice sounding slightly haggard too.

I nodded and made way for him.

He looked at me with a warm gaze. "I'm sorry.”

I had remained in the same posture the whole night, s o my body felt slightly stiff at the moment. I moved m y neck and sat on the bed, saying, "It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize."

It was Quinn's own intention to come to see me and drive me out. This had nothing to do with Theo.

The man grabbed my arm and gave me a gentle tug. I was instantly pulled into a tight embrace. "This will not happen again."

It sounded like a promise as well as an assurance.

I nodded to indicate that I understood.

I did not sleep all night and my heart was more or less at peace when I leaned on him now.

I was tired and craved the warmth of his body. I closed my eyes and said, "If you're not busy today, can you take a nap with me?”

He smiled. "If this is your request, then I'm free the whole day."

How could he possibly be free? I saw how busy he had been these days but I wished to be willful for just a little while.

There must be at least a few days in one's life where one lived for oneself.
