The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 2342
Unable to get anything from him for a moment, I could only give up.
Things had gotten busy recently because of our partnership with Hyperspace. I ended up forgetting about Theo's matter for a moment.
I happened to have some errands to run at the shopping mall today and had just finished my work when I ran into Delia.
She was shopping alone. I went over and said hello.
"Why are you here by yourself?"
Delia heard a voice and turned around. Realizing that it was me, she was a little surprised. "Wanda, why are you here? Don't you need to be at the company?"
"I had some things to deal with. Why are you alone?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Delia's face before she went back to normal.
"I wanted to go shopping all of a sudden, so I came here."
I did not think much of it. I checked the time, and it was almost noon.
"I hadn't had lunch yet. Let me treat you."
Delia did not refuse.
I took her arm naturally. Delia's body went a little stiff, but I did not take it seriously. "Have you gained weight recently?" I looked at her face, and it seemed rounder than before. Her figure was also fuller. Delia paused unexpectedly and smiled awkwardly. "My meals have been better recently, so I did indeed gain a little weight."
As soon as we were seated, the waiter came over with the menu.
I handed her the menu. "Take a look at what you want to eat."
She pushed back the menu a little distantly, however. "You can go through it. There's nothing in particular that I want to eat."
I thought she was behaving a little weirdly, but I could not tell what was off about her.
"Alright then." I ordered a few dishes, most of which were her favorites.
I chatted with her intermittently while we waited for our food. The atmosphere was not bad.
After a while, our food was presented one after another.
Delia did not seem to have any appetite and practically only ate a few mouthfuls.
Noting that she seemed restrained, I could not help but tease. "Why are you being polite to me?" I said and gave her a piece of rib.
She smiled slightly, taking small bites out of the rib. She retched after just taking two bites, however.
I was startled and quickly got up to pat her on the back while pouring her a glass of water.
"Thanks."
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" I recalled back to when she was eating just now. She seemed to be not feeling well and kept on looking like she wanted to vomit.
"I'm okay. I might have eaten something bad and can't quite keep anything down now."
I thought she was lying. It had been more than three months since I saw her the last time.
Delia wrapped herself up tightly. Looking at how cold she was now, how could she have been careless with her diet? However, I could not figure out why she was lying. Maybe it was because she was afrai that I would be worried.
"Are you really okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Delia was a little flustered and hurriedly put on a smile. Her gaze was erratic, and she did not dare
look into my eyes. "No, I'm really
fine. You're overthinking."
I noticed she was acting more and more strange, yet I could not figure her out. I felt somewhat helpless.
I wanted to soothe her, but the moment I tried to put my hand on her, she dodged it with a jerk.
I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Perhaps she was feeling a little embarrassed. "You scared me. I thought you were going to tickle me."
Seeing her embarrassed expression, I could only withdraw my hand in embarrassment as well.
"I was afraid you were feeling unwell. I wanted to soothe you a little."
"I'm fine, don't worry. Let's eat."
Delia picked up her cutlery again as she said this, and I could say nothing more. I could only go back to my seat.
