The Woman From Hell

Chapter 938

After a pause, I continued, "I saw him standing in front of Mother's tombstone when I was in the cemetery. He probably knows Mother.”

Theo held me tight and said in a deep, low voice, "I’ve already sent someone to investigate it. This won't happen again.”

I was a person who had experienced wind and storms, hence I was able to stay calm and be less afraid when I encountered such things. I was only afraid at the time because Munchkin was there. Anything could happen to me but I would not allow Munchkin to get hurt.

"I didn't sense any malicious intent from the four men. I don't know what kind of person it was who wanted to see me either."

There was a coldness in Theo's eyes. “No matter who i t is, I'll make them pay."

He did not want to continue this topic and quickly said, “Quinn asked us to go to her place for lunch tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

I nodded. "Sure."

I woke up too early this morning and was already exhausted by now. I yawned uncontrollably. "I'm tired.”

He kissed my forehead and reached out to turn off the lamp. "Sleep."

I chuckled. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight.”

I fell into a deep sleep this time. Maybe I felt very safe because Theo was beside me.

The next morning, Theo woke me up.

He was wearing a bathrobe and his hair was slightly damp. Maybe it was because he had just taken a shower.

"Someone called you." He handed my phone to me.

I was not fully awake yet. I reached out to take the phone and tapped to answer it. I then placed it to my ear, closing my eyes. "How are you?"

"Not good!" Cassey’s irritated voice entered my ear." Are you back from Salt City yet?"

I hummed softly. "What's wrong?"

"Are you free today? Want to come out for a cup of coffee?"
