The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2276

We finally returned to the homestay, and Lola was delighted to see Harriet back. "Harriet, it's good that you're fine."

"I'm going to take a shower. I stink all over." Harriet cursed and got onto the elevator.

Munchkin flew into Theo's arms when he saw him. "Daddy."

Delia also came over. Seeing that both of us had returned safely, she smiled brightly. "Wanda, President Grant, it's great that you both are back safely." "Thank you for taking care of Munchkin."

I would not have been able to go to Theo unhindered if she had not been here.

Hearing this, Delia waved her hand and smiled lightly. "It's nothing."

"By the way, Marius, thank you very much for this time. I'll treat you to dinner when we go back to Whaldorf City." I turned my gaze to Marius.

He put both hands in his pockets and said calmly, "You've already thanked me. No need to say thank you again. But I'll accept the meal."

"Delia, you should join us when the time comes."

"Let's go back to the room first," Theo interrupted me.

I almost forgot that we had not washed up yet, so I nodded. "We'll go back to our room first. You guys go to rest too."

I felt really sorry after seeing the dark circles around Marius's eyes.

After saying that, I brought Munchkin and followed Theo upstairs.

"Sleep after your shower. You definitely didn't manage to sleep well yesterday on the mountain, no?" Theo's expression was distressed when he saw my face that was haggard from the vicissitudes of life.

He held my face and planted a kiss on my lips. "You too. You go on ahead first. You were in the mountain for a far longer time. It's time to wash up."

Theo thought for a moment. "Are you starting to get annoyed with me?"

"No. Regardless, go and wash up quick."

I pushed Theo into the bathroom, and then I sat down.

Munchkin was playing by himself, while the expression on Mr. Carter's face when he saw me appeared in my mind. It seemed strange.

It was probably my first time meeting him, but why was he wearing such an expression when he saw me?

Curious, I went downstairs after taking a shower. I tried looking for Mr. Carter, but he must have left.

Right, I could ask Marius.

I called Marius. "Marius, where does Mr. Carter live? Can you take me to him?"

"You're looking for Mr. Carter?"

"Yes, I have something to ask him."

"I'll take you to him."

"Alright."

I sat on the chair at the homestay entrance after the call, waiting for him to arrive.

It did not take him long.

"Let's go." Marius had changed into the casual clothes that he was wearing before, but he did not look as tender as he did before. There was aslight manly maturity to him. It seemed like he had really grown after the last rejection.

My thoughts were racing, and I did not pay attention to the road ahead. A long arm stretched out to stop me. "Sis Wan, look at the road when

you're walking."

I looked down and saw a big rock by my feet. I would have probably fallen and eaten dirt if I had taken another step.

"Thank you." I smiled softly.

"What got you so preoccupied?" Marius asked.

With no intention of hiding anything,

I told him what I was thinking. "I was thinking that you've matured quite a bit after being rejected this time. You're not as naive as you used to be

Hearing this, Marius tilted his head, not comprehending it. "What do you mean I was rejected? Since when was I rejected?"

"Didn't you just disappear for a few months because of the person you liked?" I asked back.

Marius smiled helplessly. "What are you talking about?"

"No? Then what was up with you?" I followed his footsteps and asked.
