The Woman From Hell
Chapter 452

Chapter 452

"Alright." Theo picked me up and spun me around." Then we'll have surf and turf tonight."

After that, we went downstairs. Quinn knew that we were going out for dinner and did not sayanything. She just reminded us to be careful when we drove because of the slippery roads.

Theo hugged me after I got in the car and fastened my seat belt. "I didn't come back last nightbecause I slept in the office. I thought about you all night long and couldn't even sleep. I eventhought about driving home a few times."

Any woman would like to hear that, and I was the same. I looked up to see the love in his eyes andmy heartbeat sped up a little. "Then why didn’t you?"

"It was after midnight when I finished my work." Theo massaged my neck. "And I was afraid Icouldn't bring myself to leave you in the morning."

I felt that he was getting better at sweet-talking. I wondered where he learned to do that.

"When I woke up last night to see that you weren’t back, I felt empty. I know that you've been verybusy recently and you were probably sleeping in the office because you worked till late. But I'mworried about

your lack of sleep and the stress you endure during the daytime. You might fall sick," I whispered tohim because I felt a little embarrassed toward the end.

When Theo saw that I was slightly flushed, he teased and asked, "If you feel sorry for me, youshould serve m e obediently, okay?"

The corners of my mouth twitched. "Is that all you think about?"

Theo laughed and nodded.

F*ck me...

This jerk was a master at ruining the mood!

Theo drove the car to the entrance of a surf and turf restaurant we often went to. He stopped infront of the restaurant so that I could get down first as there were many people in the restaurant andthe place was full.

Theo and I then went to a private room. I did not feel like picking stuff from the menu, so I left theimportant task to him.

After ordering, he asked, "It's almost New Year's Eve. Carlson invited you to go to his place for NewYear's Eve. Do you want to go?"

I pursed my lips. "Of course, I want to go."

I was Carlson and Yvonne’s goddaughter. They were like my family now. Of course, I was going togo to their place for New Year's Eve.

Theo nodded. "Let's stay in Whaldorf City for New

Year's Eve this year, then. There's no point for us to go back to Salt City for New Year's Eveanyway."

It was true that there was no point for us to go back to Salt City for New Year's Eve. Theo was notclose with his uncles, and I was not close with my side of the family. If I went back, they were justgoing to be annoyed at me the whole time. Everyone would just end up having a bad time, so whybother?

The waiter came over with the dishes and I quietly looked at Theo as he fed me some of the food.After a long time, I finally asked, "Did you manage to deal with the hospital issue?”

Theo raised his eyebrows. "Did you watch the news?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Everyone's reporting about i t. It'd be difficult for me not to know aboutit."

"It's being resolved." I could not tell what Theo was feeling from the look on his face and hesounded very neutral too. "I think it'll be over early next year. It's no big deal."

The way he understated it made me feel sad, but I did not want to force him to tell me abouteverything that was happening if he did not want to. That was why I could only ask, "What is DoctorLynch doing now?"

"He's busy dealing with the current problem, of course. " Theo fed me another bite of lamb. "Youdon't have to worry about it. Just prepare for the New Year's in peace and I’ll be back to spend timewith you after I'm done with everything."

I could only nod helplessly.

Theo wanted to take me home after our dinner, but he received a call from Quinn. She insisted thatwe go to her place for the night. Even though Theo was reluctant, she was still his cousin. Sinceshe repeatedly requested it, he could only agree.

When we got back, Theo went to take a shower and I lay on the bed as I mindlessly scrolledthrough my phone.

When he came out of the shower, he lay down next to me and hugged me. "I may have to go toanother city for a business trip tomorrow."

I put the phone down. "How long will you be away?"

Theo shook his head. "I'm not sure."
