The Woman From Hell
Chapter 451

Chapter 451

Theo glared at him fiercely and quickly dragged me out of Matthew's room.

He walked too fast for me to keep up, so I frowned and said, "Slow down. I can't keep up with you."

Not only did Theo ignore me but he quickened his steps.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked helplessly.

Theo replied in a cold voice, "Your room."

I was speechless and rolled my eyes. "Well, you've walked past it."

Theo stopped in his tracks and turned around to look a t me angrily. "Wanda, do you like Matthew?"

"I guess that’s a yes." Theo took a deep breath." Otherwise, why didn't you panic when I caught thetwo of you cuddling on the same bed?"

"It’d be more of a problem if I had panicked." I looked a t him helplessly. "Doesn't me not panickingprove that there’s nothing going on between us?"

"Stop trying to weasel your way out of this!" Theo was not listening to me at all. "How can you saythat

there’s nothing going on between the two of you when

you guys were in bed together?"

Like the saying not to wash your dirty laundry in public, I did not feel like standing in the hallway toargue with him, so I pulled him into my room.

The moment the door closed, Theo pressed me against it. I was very uncomfortable and squirmed."How are w e supposed to talk if you do this?"

"I don't see why not." Theo's voice was cold.

I knew he was very angry right now, so I helplessly sighed and let him do whatever he wanted."Theo, I swear that I'm innocent and nothing happened between us. It was also an accident that weended up cuddling on the same bed. He hasn't been able to sleep well in the past few days, so hewanted me to accompany him for a while. When I was sitting down, I got tired and dozed off on thebed. I was a distance away from him when I dozed off but for some reason, we ended up cuddling."

When I saw that Theo still looked gloomy, I continued, "I know I shouldn't have agreed toaccompany him, but I couldn't refuse him. When I lost my baby and wanted to die, he was the onewho stayed by my side. He helped me out of the difficult situation. If it weren't for him, I would'vedied, so he basically saved my life. Now that he needs me, I turn a blind eye. Otherwise, wouldn’t Ijust be a person without a conscience?" 1

Theo looked at me quietly after I said that. I furrowed my brows in annoyance. "Theo, can youplease think o f it from my point of view? Otherwise, it’s very painful

for me too."

I could not ignore Matthew but because Theo kept arguing with me about it, I would eventually fallinto a dilemma.

Theo closed his eyes tightly and when he opened them again, the coldness in his eyes was gone. "Ican understand, but this can only go on for a little while more. When he’s back to his normal self,you'll have to draw a clear line with him, okay?"

After a pause, he continued, "This is the biggest compromise I can make."

He looked even more tired than Matthew. The shirt he was wearing underneath his jacket was notironed properly and his necktie was askew. I did not notice these things just now because I was sofocused on trying to explain myself to him. When I finally noticed those details, I felt a little bad forhim.

The issue with the hospitals must have kept him busy as hell, but it was a good thing that he couldstill suppress his temper without lashing out at me.

"I'll be mindful of how I am when I'm with him." I took the initiative to kiss him on the lips. "Don'tworry, I'll never do anything to upset you."

Theo's face softened and a smile appeared. "Good girl."

He wrapped his arms around me. "Did you miss me?"

I nodded.

In the past few days, he only came home after I was asleep and he would leave the house before Iwoke up i n the morning. We had barely spoken recently, and it felt like we had not met in a fewdays. Of course, I missed him.

"Let me take you out to have something delicious tonight. What do you feel like eating?" Theoasked with a smile.

I knew he would not want to stay home for dinner, so after thinking about it, I said, "I feel like havingsurf and turf."
