The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1651



"Where's Theo? I don't see him."

She immediately began inquiring about Theo's whereabouts when she realized I would not be alone.

I understood that.

I chuckled awkwardly as I said, "Where else could he be? Wouldn't he be hard at work in the city?"

I was unsure how much Shannon knew about what was happening between us and Jordan.

However, I could tell that Jordan had protected her all this while. He had shouldered everything going on by himself.

My guess was that he also found taking on everything by himself to be easier as it was not something to be proud of.

Of course, if I studied the issue from a practical standpoint, I hated the way Jordan was dealing with things. At times, I even found the way he squirmed about keeping secrets extremely unmanly.

Yet, if I switched to viewing the issue as one of Shannon's friends, I found it delightful that she could live without any worries and focus on raising her children after everything she had gone through.
