| scoffed lightly. "Please don't say such things, Miss Reed. I've just finished eating."
The expression on Cindy's face changed abruptly.
Quinn did not seem to have noticed the dark, swirling tide of emotions between us and smiled as she said to me,
"Wanda, sit down and try the flower tea | brewed. I'm sure you'll like it."
I laughed coldly and sat down on the couch as | said," Well then, I'd better taste it and see if the flower tea you
make is as indescribable as you are, Quinn."
Quinn seemed to not understand the underlying mockery in my words and maintained an elegant smile on her
face as she said, "I'm sure you won't be disappointed."
| picked up the teacup and took a sip from it before commenting calmly, “Sure enough, it's indescribable."
If she truly wantedto try the tea she brewed, then | was indeed disappointed. As | raised my wrist to check
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe ton my watch, | said quietly, "I have a video meeting to attend. You two enjoy your chat."
As | spoke, | stood up to leave.
"Theowy is back," Cindy said happily as she stood and looked toward the villa's entrance.
Visible unhappiness spread across Theo's face when h e walked into the villa and saw Cindy. After taking off his
jacket and handing it to Miss Woods, he walked over and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
| nodded. "Have you eaten?”
Theo smiled as he shook his head. "I haven't eaten because I'm not hungry. The driver toldthat you went out
today. Where did you go?"
"I went to the mall to shop." | could not tell him that | had gone to meet Heidi because Cindy was here.
He had been speaking toever since he walked in through the front door while pretending he had not seen
Cindy. Naturally, she did not like that and could not help but say, "Theowy, Quinn and | have not had dinner yet
either. Why don’t we have dinner together?"
Theo turned to her and said stiffly, "The food served in my his nothing compared to the food served in
Petra’s house. | think you'd better go hand eat. Otherwise, Petra will be angry if you didn’t have a good
meal, Miss Reed."
Cindy's face paled visibly at that obvious request to leave.
"Theowy, you..." 1
She had no idea what to say in response. Tears welled up in her eyes, which made her seem pitiful.
| spoke from experience when | said she was an expert at pretending to be pitiful.
Quinn placed an arm across Cindy's shoulder and said disgruntledly to Theo, "What are you talking about? |
asked Cindy to cover so she could accompany m e. We can't send her back without even serving her dinner,
can we? Besides, it's already dark out, and the snow from the past two days has made the roads slippery and
unsafe. Why don't we let Cindy stay the night?”
Theo frowned. An aggravated expression appeared on his face as he said, "I'll get the driver to bring her home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe'll be careful."
"Theo, how can you be so immature?” Quinn was starting to becupset. "It's not as if we don't have enough
rooms in the house. Why can't you let Cindy spend a night here?”
Cindy grabbed her arm and said in a quivering voice," Quinn, stop. | don't want you to fight with Theowy because
of me.”
She paused before turning to Theo and saying, "Quinn has not been in a good mood lately because she has
nowhere to vent her frustrations. That's why she calledover to accompany her. I'll leave after spending the
night with her. But | can also leave right now if that won't work for you, Theowy."
Nowhere to vent her frustrations? Quinn did not talk about her problems to her cousin-in-law, but she was willing
to unload her worries onto an outsider. Would that not mean she was hinting that | was a problematic cousin-in-
law?
Not only did she manage to mock me, but she also portrayed herself as an understanding person. Cindy's b*tchy
side was coming on full force just like before. She was certainly cured of her mental illness.
