The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2152

Hotel private room.

Theo was sitting with Townsend on one side while Shannon and I sat on the other. "This is my friend Shannon," I introduced.

"Hi, my name is Townsend. I'm Theo darling's childhood playmate or childhood friend." I did not even manage to introduce him. Townsend was already eager to introduce himself. The innocent smile on his face was very prominent.

Shannon seemed taken aback when she heard what he said. She parted her lips and repeated slowly, "Theo... darling?"

Townsend did not think it was any problem, however. He nodded. "Yes, that's what I always called him. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Shannon shrugged and smiled. "Two adult men addressing one another that way seems very suggestive, don't you think so, President Grant?"

She deliberately aimed the question at Theo with the hopes of seeing his reaction.

All of us looked at him at this question.

Theo was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. "It doesn't matter. It's just an address."

Hearing this, Shannon turned to look at me with an expression of disbelief. I nodded to her. It was as if Theo had nothing he considered taboo when it came to Townsend. "Okay, let's order."

"Allow me."

Townsend grabbed the menu and began selecting. "Sweet and sour fish, braised eggplant... The last dish, bitter melon, and tofu soup, suit you," he looked at me and said.

He did not forget to take a jab at me even when ordering. I had had enough.

I snorted softly. "But Theo doesn't eat bitter gourd. You ordered the wrong soup."

"Who said that? Theo darling will eat everything with me."

"We'll see if he touches it later, then." I glanced at Theo, but he avoided my gaze, which surprised me a little.

The dishes were served slowly. Townsend scooped himself some bitter melon soup and drank it. "It's delicious. Theo darling, would you like some?"

Theo darling did not reply, and I smiled lightly." I told you he doesn't eat bitter melon."

"Him not answering is tantamount to

acquiescing. ll serve you some." After saying that, Townsend scooped some soup into Theo's bowl. 1. There were a few slices of

bitter melon and tofu. "Come now, drinking some soup before eating is good for you. Drink up quick."

"Yeah."

It was rare to hear Theo answer, and something incredible thing happened in the next second. Theo, who never eats bitter melon, actually drank the soup.

I was surprised. I looked at Cancan and whispered, "Theo doesn't eat bitter melon." But he drank it today.

Sitting opposite us, Townsend's expression was smug, as if he were showing off to me.

Was Townsend really so important to him?

For a moment, I was flustered, and none of the taste from lunch registered in my mind.

After lunch Theo and Townsend

informed me that they had something to deal with and had to leave first. Watching their backs as they left, I felt a chill in my heart. "Shannon, what do you think?"

"Based on my observation, Wanda, you need to have a good talk with Theo."

Sure enough, this was the answer.

Theo treated Townsend very differently. He seemed willing to do anything for him, which was very strange.

"How can ordinary friends be so

close? Theo could even accept that kind of nickname and forcef to eat dishes he doesn't like.d are ordinary friends like that?!"

The more Shannon spoke, the more confused I became.

"Yes, I got it. I will ask Theo about this tonight."

I also wanted to know why he was so obedient toward Townsend. I had not even heard about him before this. Could it be that Theo was hiding something? For a moment, I was overwhelmed with doubts...
