The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1278

Trust that had been built up could be easily destroyed.

This was the only time I was no longer confident.

Seeing that I did not say a word, Cindy smugly said, "Ms. Lane, if you really want Theowy to go home, then I’ll let him know. He’ll listen to me. But he might go home a little later. You can have dinner yourself. The food will have turned cold once he gets home."

I felt awfully embarrassed but still did not say a word. 1 took the phone away from my ear and hung up.

Looking at the table full of dishes, I felt an incomparable sense of mockery.

Love? There had never been love between Theo and me.

I returned to my bedroom and lay in bed. My heart was in pieces. Cindy's words played in my head like a broken record.

I had initially thought it through that if one day Theo fell in love with another woman, I would wish him all the best. Today, however, I felt so heartbroken. My heart was in such excruciating pain that it felt like it was about to crack open.

I did not want this to happen, yet I could not control myself.

I could not stop myself from thinking of the past and the days when Theo and I were together. I was in agony the more I thought about it. How absurd was this?

The good old days were reduced to nothing in an instant, and all that remained was the damage he had done to me.

I felt sleepy yet could not fall asleep when I closed my eyes. My cramps had returned. It felt like heartburn. I had probably caught a cold from the cool water during the shower.

Since I could not sleep, I decided that I was not going to sleep.

I got up and opened the drawer of the bedside table. I took out the book I did not finish previously.

The food had turned cold and the taste of cooled dishes was certainly not good, yet he was eating with gusto.

I felt suffocated inside. Anger and sadness intertwined within me. I felt a strong urge to cry.

Three hours ago, I had called his number.

He only came home now. I guess he had done what he needed to do.

"The food is cold. You shouldn't eat it anymore, Mr. Grant. Your noble stomach might get sick," I coldly said while walking to the dining area.

Theo raised his head and was stunned to see me. Then, a tender smile broke out on his charming face. "Did I wake you?"

His tenderness made me want to laugh.
