The Woman From Hell

Chapter 823

Theo drank a lot of wine last night and after working all day, he looked extremely worn out when he came home at night.

When he saw me standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, he walked behind me and took me into his arms. He asked in a warm and tender voice, "Why didn’t you give me a call

when I wasn’t home yet even at such a late hour?"

Hearing the blame in his tone, I laughed. "You’ve been very busy lately. I was worried that I'd disturb you."

I turned around and saw the stubble on his chin. My heart sank a little.

He was truly too busy and too tired.

"Nothing is more important than you," Theo kissed my cheek as he said.

I felt a gush of warmth in my heart. "What do you want to have for tonight? I'll cook for you."

Theo chuckled. "Maybe I should do it."

I raised my eyebrows. "Are you saying that my cooking skills are bad?" "I wouldn't dare." He would not dare? That meant that my cooking skills were indeed bad yet he dared not say it.

I glared at him and struggled out of his embrace." Remember to keep it plain. Munchkin is ill."

"When did Mason leave?” Theo asked.

Keith had definitely informed him about Munchkin catching a cold and Mason dropping by. Hence, I was not surprised that he knew.

"He left after lunch." I went to the living room to pour a glass of water and put it in his hands.

Theo finished drinking the water and said with a smile, "What a thoughtful wife."

I pursed my lips and wondered if I should ask him about Matthew.

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Theo held my hand and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you happy?"

I looked up at him. "I saw on the news that you’ve acquired a lot of shares from many shareholders of Zimmer Corporations. Are you trying to cooperate with Zimmer Corporations?"

How could acquiring a company’s shares mean that one wanted cooperation? It could only mean annexing.

I cursed myself inwardly for being foolish as soon as I asked the question.
