The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1214

"But aren't you worried about leaving Mr. Collins here alone after you go to Whaldorf City?"

Shannon chuckled mischievously. "There's a butler and caretakers here with him.

Besides, my grandma will soon be back from the sanatorium. He doesn't really need me to take care of him. Besides, it's not like I’ll never come back again. I can come back to visit him often."

After a pause, she continued, "I've wanted to go to Whaldorf City for the longest time but didn't because there wasn't anyone to accompany me. Now that I have you, my friend, I must go with you."

Her words moved me for some reason.

In order to help her come out of her melancholic mood, I joked with her, "You're not going because of Jordan, are you?"

I believed this was one of the reasons. The Fredericks’ company was in Whaldorf City. Jordan was not going to stay here forever and would return to Whaldorf City sooner or later. A woman like Shannon would definitely not be able to accept a longdistance relationship.

Shannon gently coughed and said with a slightly crimson face, "It indeed has to do with him, but you're the biggest reason."

"Oh, stop it.” I continued to tease her, “I nearly believed in you."

"You have to believe in me."

Later, Shannon and I talked about something else and went to bed.
