The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1809



Before going to bed that night, Nicky texted me: [Are we going to the teahouse tomorrow?]

She truly still missed Queenie.

I turned my head and looked at Theo who was working hard. "We bumped into Queenie on the road yesterday. She's currently working in a teahouse, and Nicky and I plan to visit her tomorrow. Would you like to go together?"

Without waiting for Theo to respond, Munchkin, who was sleeping in the middle, suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Teahouse? I wanna go!"

"Hey, little guy, were you pretending to be asleep?" I rubbed his little head.

"Mommy, I just laid down. How can I fall asleep so quickly?" Munchkin opened his eyes and said as he looked at me.

At this moment, Theo said, "I still have work tomorrow. You should go with Munchkin. Be careful on the road. Call me if there's anything."

"Sure."

Since work came first, I did not try to force Theo. The three of us going was fine. If Theo were around, Nicky and Queenie might feel even more awkward.

I replied to Nicky: [Okay, let's head over in the afternoon.] Then, I quickly fell asleep.
