The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2345



There should be no secrets between husband and wife, after all. Nothing should be deliberately concealed.

Theo felt the solemnity in the air when he came back. "Where's Caroline?"

"I dismissed her for the night. I prepared dinner myself tonight. Come and have a taste.

Theo came back after washing his hands. He took his seat and dug in.

Sensing the stiff atmosphere, he buried his head in his food without saying a word.

I rolled my eyes seeing him like this and asked casually, "Is there anything you'd like to share with me?" I pretended to strike up a conversation.

Theo's hand paused for a moment before he continued eating. "Nothing special. Do you have anything to share?"

I thought about it and told him about Delia, hoping to gauge his reaction.

However, I was a little disappointed. He did not show any emotion after hearing what I had to say. He just gave a perfunctory answer.

"Has nothing happened to you recently?"

"No," Theo denied flatly.

I frowned with displeasure. His answer had obviously been perfunctory. "I noticed your condition hasn't been as good recently. Did you encounter any difficulties at work?"

He finally revealed some emotion on his face. He feigned confusion and replied, "It's nothing serious. You don't have to worry. I can solve it myself." Theo obviously did not go into details, nor did he tell the truth.

I knew that I might not be able to get the truth out of him if I kept beating about the bush, so I went straight to the point and said, "Why have you been avoiding me all this time?"

Theo looked a little dazed and quickly replied, "I'm not avoiding you."

Seeing that he was still not admitting it, the emotions I felt deep down became more apparent.

"You definitely are."

Theo was confused about when he had avoided me. "I really am not."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be innocent, my anger sparked. 1 simply put down my cutlery and looked into his eyes. "You leave early and come back late every day. Aren't you avoiding me?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Theo was stunned for a moment, his expression a little helpless. "I really am not avoiding you. I have some things to deal with. That's why I've been busy. Don't think too much about it." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

He thought I was arguing with him because of this and breathed a sigh of relief after that explanation. He then started eating with confidence again. "So what have you been up to lately?" I asked coldly.

I saw him pause. Theo raised his head and saw me staring at him. A trace of panic flashed through his eyes. I was keenly aware of it, and uncertainty brewed in my heart.

"I already said it's work, so stop asking me already," Theo said with a guilty conscience. The smile on his face was also very stiff.

that he was lying and

felt a pain in my chest. For a moment, I was out of breath ast thought about all the possibilities, but did not want to believe any of them. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

This was because I did not want to believe that Theo was such a person.

"I'd like to know."

Theo looked away. "You can't help me with my work. I can handle it myself. Be good."

"What if I can? I'll only know if you tell me."

Theo was a little helpless, but still, he played dumb. "I can handle it myself. Don't worry about it."

I was mildly infuriated. Why did he refuse to tell me the truth?

What was there that could not be said between us? We had experienced so much together. What else was worth hiding?

"Suit yourself." I had also lost my temper. I put down my cutlery and left immediately.

Not long after returning to the room, Theo walked in.

"What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

Hearing his voice, I deliberately turned around. I had no intention of talking to him...
