The Woman From Hell

Chapter 701 I glanced at my phone. Half-past ten was not considered too late. I planned to take a look at Munchkin in his room.

Worried that Munchkin would be too afraid to sleep in an unfamiliar environment or could not find the light switch when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, Theo had placed a nanny in his room.

I opened the door and the nanny, who was lying on the bed, woke up.

She switched on the lights, and when she saw it was me, she immediately tried to get out of bed.

I reached out to stop her and whispered, "I'm only here to take a look because I was worried." The nanny nodded with a smile. "Munchkin is sleeping very soundly. Don't worry, I'll take care of him." I pursed my lips. "If he has a nightmare at night and is looking for me, don't worry about disturbingeven i f I'm asleep.

"Alright, Mrs. Grant. I understand." Afraid that I would wake Munchkin up, I did not enter the bedroom to check on him. I explained a few more things to the nanny before leaving.

I stopped in my tracks when I passed by the study.

Theo was still busy at work at this hour. It seemed like he had a lot of work to do.

I sighed lightly and went downstairs to the kitchen. I poured a glass of water before coming back up again, knocking on the door of the study.

"Cin." The man's low and sexy voice cfrom the study.

I pushed the door in and saw Theo sitting in his office chair with a pile of documents in front of him.

"I suddenly feel like I've been transported to ancient times." I walked over and put the glass on the desk." And you're the emperor." Theo laughed and put down his pen, holding my hand. "You can't sleep, my queen?" I laughed. "When do you plan to rest?" Theo was not in his 20s anymore, and coupled with his bad stomach, staying up late had affected his health.

He narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curving upward." Are you making an invitation?" It tooka long tto figure out what he meant by that. I could not help but blush, saying, "I'm just worried about you and want you to sleep early.

Staying up late is bad for your health." I planned to leave after saying that.

Since coming to Whaldorf City from Zenon, he had been treatingwith the courtesy of a gentleman and never overstepped.

Had it not been for his obscure gaze at this moment, I would have almost forgotten about this.

After taking only a few steps, he heldback. "Can we talk, Wanda?" I was stunned for a moment and turned back to see the weariness on his face. This must have something to do with work.

I could not help but return to his side, raising my hand to stroke his brow. I asked softly, "How long has it been since you've slept well?" He looked up atand raised his hand to encirclein his arms. His head was resting on my lower abdomen, while his voice was deep and low. "It's been three years." Those four simple words left my body slightly stiffened.

He heldin his arms, and there was weariness in his voice. "I was used to having you by my side, so I couldn't sleep after you left. Every tI lay on the bed and closed my eyes, all I saw was you. That made it even harder to fall asleep." I cast my eyes down and looked at the top of his head, a little lost in thought.

Theo did not say anything else after that and closed his eyes while maintaining the sposture. There was warmth lingering in the air.

After a few minutes, I said, "Go sleep in the bedroom." He responded, pullingback to the bedroom with a face full of weariness.

We had been sleeping separately this whole time, but this time, he pulledinto the sbed and lockedtight in his arms as though he was afraid I would run away.

I wanted to push him away at first, but when I saw his eyes closed and the weary look on his face, I could not bring myself to do it.

I thought I would not be able to fall asleep but surprisingly, I could. I even fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes and saw the man's stubbled chin. He was not awake yet and I was still tightly encircled in his arms, unable to move at all.

I tried a few times and gave up. I looked quietly at his face as he slept.

The man had charming facial features. His dark eyes were firmly shut; his curled eyelashes were particularly good-looking; his face when he slept was calm and peaceful. His usual lofty and condescending demeanor was nonexistent, which made him seem exceptionally warm and calm.

I could not help but reach out to touch his curled eyelashes. At just the slightest touch of my fingertips, he woke up.

Our eyes met. His gaze was as deep as the abyss, his starry dark eyes stirring slightly. "You're awake?" I nodded and shifted my body, trying to struggle out of his arms only to be held down by him. "Sleep a little longer." I looked at the time. It was already past eight. I asked with a frown, "Don't you need to go to work today?" He smiled slightly. "It's okay to be a little late." Sure enough, the boss was not afraid of anything.

However, I could not continue sleeping, so I said helplessly, "I can't sleep anymore." His lips moved slightly, his voice low and deep. "Lie down withfor a while." I had no choice but to lay down flat. I stared at the ceiling in a daze.

I suddenly remembered something and my body stiffened. "Theo, you-" 1 He looked atwith a deep gaze. "I'm a normal man, after all." I still felt very awkward. "Letgo, I want to get up." He did not move. "I'll be done in a moment." I did not move an inch.

After a very long time, he got up and went to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, he cout of the bathroom and I glanced intentionally and unintentionally at him. He noticed it and asked with a smile, "Did I scare you?" I shook my head, my cheeks still burning. "The caretaker cup just now and said that breakfast is ready." He smiled. "You should go and wash up. We'll go down to have breakfast together once we're done." Even though we did not file for divorce back then, we had been separated for three years, so legally, we were divorced by default.

It was unseemly for us to be together like that again. W e were both aware of it. i While we were having breakfast, Keith cover and said that the school enrollment had been arranged and Munchkin could be enrolled today itself.

If Munchkin could go to school, I would no doubt want him to go. However, he was not very willing! Eren so he was not Even so refused to spoil him when it cto schooling, so I decided to send Munchkin to school after breakfast. A lot of anxiety was involved when a child had a change of environment. Theo decided to take Munchkin to school with me.

When we arrived at the kindergarten, a female teacher was waiting at the gate. She looked like she was in her 20s.

When she saw Theo, she was a little shocked. "Mister... Mr. Grant. I'm the junior class teacher. My name's trainee Tammy."

Her reaction was completely normal.

For three years, Theo had been om building enterprises in Whatdorf City. His otherworldly good looks itself were enough to cause many women to fall for him.

Besides, the scandals of him and free Serena were the only things they heard in the last three years. No one had heard anything about him being married. With that, many believed that Theo was still a bachelor, which turned him into a subject of fantasy by many women.
