The Woman From Hell
Chapter 924

Chapter 924

Perhaps those who were happy had no way of understanding other people’s sorrows, hence I hadno way of knowing how bad Matthew’s mood was at the moment.

I looked up at the sky and said faintly, "The fireworks are really beautiful tonight, Matthew. I hopethis willb e the start of something better.’’

I wished from the bottom of my heart. If it were possible, I hoped that everyone could live a betterlife.

I hoped that Matthew would have a child and a family of his own. I hoped he could live a better lifeand leave the past behind.

The man on the other end did not say anything and remained silent. I figured he probably did notknow what to say. I did not know how to proceed with the conversation either, so after sayinggoodbye, I hung up the phone.

I looked up at the magnificent fireworks in the sky as a grin gradually tugged on my lips. I hopedeverything would go smoothly this year.

Theo came out of the bathroom and embraced me from behind. He asked in a deep and low voice,"Do you like fireworks that much?"

I nodded, smelling the faint fragrance of shower gel on his body. "This winter seems a little lengthy.When you're not that busy anymore, shall we go to Zenon for a period of time? I'm starting to missthat little yard I s o meticulously took care of."

He nodded and pulled me toward his chest. He rested his chin on my shoulder. His breath waswarm. "Okay."

"Who were you talking on the phone with?" When he lowered his head and saw the phone in myhand, he asked casually.

I realized in hindsight that I seemed to have forgotten t o switch my phone off. I could not help butlower my head to look. I subconsciously wanted to switch off m y phone. I then said guiltily, "Afriend."

The number was not saved, so he probably would not guess that it was Matthew, right?

Fortunately, Theo did not ask any more questions and merely embraced me as he said warmly,"You should g o and take a shower."

I nodded and casually tossed my phone aside before going into the bathroom.

When I came out of the shower, Theo was lying on the bed reading a book. I walked over and tookthe book from his hands. I said with a frown, "The bed is for sleeping, not for reading."

He looked sideways at me, his cool gaze falling on my face. Looking at him from such a closedistance, I noticed how deep his eyes were, how high his nose bridge was, and how tempting hislips were.

My gaze continued to move downward. I could not help but swallow my saliva, replaceing my throat alittle dry.

I quickly looked away and cleared my throat, saying, " We should go to bed now."

I lay on the bed and switched off the lights. After covering myself with a blanket for a few seconds, Isuddenly felt a little too warm.

I was just about to lift the covers when Theo suddenly embraced me.

He was shrouded in the fragrance of the shower gel, making him smell particularly good. I found thescent a little intoxicating as it was making me somewhat dazed.

He reached out his hand and lifted my chin slightly. With the faint light from the window, I could stillmake out his handsome features and obscure eyes. He said, "We haven’t done it for a long time,have we?"

My mind wandered off for a moment as I nodded in a daze. "I think so.”

After realizing what he was referring to, my cheeks started burning. I was afraid to look into hiseyes. I asked in a very soft voice, "Can you do it?"

Theo raised his eyebrow. "Why don’t we try it out?”

The snow started to fall again in the second half of the night, and it continued to fall until themorning. The entire Whaldorf City was covered in snow and painted in silver, which lookedabsolutely breathtaking.

I woke up and opened my eyes to Theo’s ridiculously good-looking face. His eyebrows were sharplike swords, and his eyes like stars, dazzling and bright. I loved reading heroic fiction when I wasyoung and always felt that he had the same eyebrows as the superheroes in those heroic novels.

Perhaps I was too focused that Theo, who was fast asleep, sensed my stare and slowly opened hiseyes.

His eyes were filled with smiles. "I look very good, don't I?"
