The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 897

I looked at him and felt inexplicably angry. I got out of the car and went straight to the hotel.

The receptionist looked at me and said with a slight smile, "Hello."

"I'd like to book a room.” I handed my bank card and driver's license to the receptionist.

However, she did not take them but instead looked over my shoulder at Theo, who came up behind me. The man's figure was charmingly slender. He was the center of attention wherever he went.

Theo held my hand and looked at the receptionist. " There's no need for that. The room has been booked."

Those words were obviously for me.

The receptionist looked a little embarrassed and returned the bank card and driver's license to me, saying, "Miss, please keep your bank card and driver's license safe."

I frowned and spoke in a heavier tone, "You’re a five-star hotel, right? How can you allow guests to check-i n without checking their identification?"

The receptionist looked at Theo and was slightly at a loss for words.

I handed her my bank card and driver's license, saying, "Hurry up and book a room for me."

The receptionist hesitated for a moment and eventually booked a room for me.

Theo simply let me be and did not say much about it.

After getting my room card, I entered the elevator.

Neither of us spoke in the elevator, and the silence was deafening.

Humans were really strange sometimes. Even though we were both aware of each other's anger and bad moods, as well as the fact that we needed to understand each other and talk things out, we just refused to do so.

After swiping the room card, I walked in and was about to close the door when Theo stopped me from doing so.

He frowned, his icy gaze falling on my face. When he spoke, his tone was grumpy. "Do you really have to do this?"

I looked up at him and pretended not to see his displeasure. I said almost without mercy, "Yes."

Then, I pushed him and shut the door without mercy.

Afraid that he would turn to the receptionist to ask for a room card, I locked the door from the inside.

I sat on the sofa in the living room and gave Tyler a call.

The call went through very quickly, and Tyler's slightly hoarse voice was heard. He was probably sleeping.

I checked my watch and realized that it was already midnight.

I sighed and said, "Can you ask Carlson to contact the authorities in South Vasetine? Munchkin is missing, and the Lynches still can’t find him after searching for the whole day. I really don't know what else to do now."

I started choking toward the end of my sentence. My throat felt utterly uncomfortable.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call. Then, Tyler sounded clearly awake as he comforted me, saying, “Don't get anxious yet, Wandy. Carlson and I will go to South Vasetine to see you right now."

I felt a gush of warmth in my chest as tears welled up i n my eyes. I cast my eyes down and spoke in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Tyler.”

"Wandy!" Tyler sounded clearly unhappy. "We're family. You don’t need to be so polite to your family."

I nodded, tears flowing down my cheeks. I felt slightly moved.

After hanging up the phone, I felt inexplicably at ease.

I gently sighed. Awakened from the fear and worry earlier, I realized in hindsight that I had just broken out in a cold sweat.

After putting down my phone, I turned around and went to the bathroom. I filled the bath with warm water and scrubbed myself for a while.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Theo standing beside the bed. I cried out in shock because I had yet t o register what was happening.

I came in such a hurry that I forgot to bring extra clothing, hence I tossed my clothes into the washing machine after showering and was only draped in a bath towel when I came out of the bathroom.

Although we had been honest and open with each other countless times, my face still blushed and heated up when our eyes met at this very moment.
