The Woman From Hell
Chapter 512

Chapter 512

"I'm not hungry," Theo said in a cold voice.

I tried to persuade him but he trotted upstairs, so I could only swallow my words back in.

Miss Woods followed him upstairs before coming down again shortly. She trotted up to me andwhispered under her breath, "Mr. Grant has returned t o his bedroom. Why don't you take thedishes upstairs to coax him? Cold wars are taboo between couples, and getting mad at each othercan affect your relationship."

I pursed my lips and mulled it over before nodding. “G o and prepare the dishes, then. I'll bring themto him."

Ms. Woods nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll do that right away. Give me a moment, Miss Wanda."

When she was done preparing the dishes, I held the tray as she helped me upstairs.

When we came to the bedroom door, she pushed the door open and I walked in to see Theosmoking on the balcony. I helplessly sighed.

Theo would always smoke whenever something was bothering him. I was unsure if coaxing himwas going to be easy this time.

The door behind me closed and I slowly walked to the

desk where I set down the tray. I then walked toward the balcony and softly said, "I brought thedishes upstairs. Want to have some?"

As soon as I approached Theo, I realized that his entire body was exuding an ice-cold aura. It gaveme goosebumps.

Theo put out his cigarette and turned around, looking indifferently at me.

Although I could not sense anything from his eyes and face, I could tell that he was very angry,furious even.

I cast my eyes down and tried my best to sound soft and tender. "You've been working the wholeday, so I'm sure you haven't eaten a proper meal. It won’t be good for your health if you skip dinner.Why don’t you take a bite?"

I hoped his mood would be lifted seeing that I was putting in a lot of effort to coax him, which wouldmake it much easier to solve the problem later.

"I heard what you said to Tyler on the phone yesterday, Wanda Lane."

Subtle veins were bulging from Theo’s forehead. "I went to retrieve the roadside surveillancefootage of the location where you had your car accident."

I held my breath.

He did not bring this up last night because he was planning to do it today after retrieving thesurveillance footage and replaceing out what had actually happened?

"I think you love Matthew."

There was endless frost in Theo's eyes. "Why else could you spot him in a sea of people and chaseafter him regardless of your safety?"

I took a deep breath. "How many times do I have to tell you, Theo? I don't love him at all. We’re justfriends. Now that he's dead, don't you think it's normal for me t o rush over when I see a person wholooks just like him?"

"You said it yourself-he's dead! That man isn’t him. I can't believe you chased after him regardlessof your safety. Do you think it’s wrong for me to be behaving like this?"

Theo pressed closer to me after saying that. I stepped back, frightened by the coldness thatsurrounded his body.

I stopped until I reached the glass door of the balcony and could not retreat farther. "Theo, do youthink I should forget Matthew after he died? That I should be indifferent when I bring up his nameagain?"

Theo sneered. "Yes, that's what I think."

I pursed my lips and said no more.

He was only saying this in the heat of the moment and was completely unreasonable right now. Histrue nature was completely unleashed at this moment

Indifferent, selfish, and extremely domineering-this was Theo's truest character.

"I don't want to fight with you."

I felt a little exhausted.

"Regardless of what you think, Matthew is dead. He'll not appear in our lives anymore. We don'thave to argue because of him."

"What if he isn’t dead?"

Theo narrowed his eyes. "If he isn't dead, then are you planning to get together with him to repayhis kindness?"
