The Woman From Hell

Chapter 293

Theo took off his coat, and after handing it to Miss Zuri, he walked up to me to pinch my chin. He teased me, "Why are you wrapped up in such a thick blanket o n a hot day? Aren't you worried about getting roasted alive?"

I was in a bad mood at the moment. I looked up at him and found him not the least bit pleasant to look at. I was afraid of losing my temper at him, so I stood up from the couch without a word and planned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Theo pulled my hand.

"To the garden to take a walk." I needed time alone to calm down.

Theo rubbed my hand a few times and sighed. "It's Matthew's birthday today and Quinn wants me to go over. I'll take a walk with you when we come back later, okay?"

Perhaps he could tell that I was in a bad mood because his tone sounded more like a negotiation.

I looked at him for a moment and nodded slightly.

I went to the dressing room to change my clothes and put on light makeup before walking out the door with Theo. We got in the car.

When the car drove out the villa’s main gate, Theo

said, "Don’t listen to the things Petra said.” "You know what she told me?" I was not surprised he knew Petra came by earlier. I was, however, surprised that he knew what Petra said to me.

Theo shook his head. "I can roughly guess it."

I suddenly felt a little mischievous and glanced at his abnormally charming face. I chuckled slightly. "Can you guess if I agreed to her conditions?"

The ear-piercing sound of the brakes instantly rang out as my words fell.

"Wanda Lane!" Theo was terrifying when he was angry. The fire in his eyes seemed to have taken a physical form and it was as though he could burn anyone into ashes.
