The Woman From Hell
Chapter 221

Chapter 221

He was a very particular person, someone who suffered from mild mysophobia. I could imagine howhard it must be for him to spend the night in a bedroom that was only a few dozen square feetwithout any clean clothes.

Yet, there was not even a word of complaint from him. He was willing to stay here and keep mecompany all night.

The next morning, he woke up at the crack of dawn.

I said with bleary eyes, "You’re off to work so early?" "I'm going home to get changed. I have ameeting this morning. You can sleep a while more. I'll ask Keith to buy you breakfast later and bringyou some new clothes. He'll bring you to the company for lunch after. I'll accompany you for thepregnancy check-up in the afternoon."

"You don’t have to buy me breakfast. I’ll have some of the bread and milk that you bought last night.I have some clothes here. I’ll go look for you in the afternoon myself," I mumbled before turningover, trying to go back to sleep.

He did not say anything more. He got up and left.

However, the urge to sleep had gone. He had been

particularly kind to me these days, and he pampered me so much. It was strange that I found himmore unfamiliar than ever before. He was not the cold-hearted Theo Grant I knew back then.

My imagination was running wild as I lay on the bed. Cecilia called and told me that she was goingback to Salt City today.

I offered to pick her up at the airport since I had nothing to do at home.

After asking for her flight number and time, I hurriedly got up and washed up. I left my car at thecompany, so I could only hail a taxi to Grant Corporation. Then, I drove to the airport.

When I reached the airport, there was still another half an hour until Cecilia's plane landed. The sunwas blazing outside, so I decided to park the car and wait inside.

Once I reached the stairs, two figures a distance away caught my attention. He was tall andhandsome with a n imposing figure. The woman had a smoking hot body, looking beautiful andelegant. Both of them were heading outside. They were so eye-catching that the people aroundwould look back at them. Some of them even though they were superstars and took out theirphones to snap some photos of them.

My eyes felt sore while looking at the good-looking couple. I took out my phone and called Theo."Where are you?"

"I'm in the airport," he answered. "Zedd got caught up with something this morning, so I had tocome to the airport to pick her up. Have you had breakfast?"

I was holding my phone and looking at him from far away. His straight face turned gentle when hesaw that it was me calling. There was a trace of a smile on the corners of his lips when he wastalking to me.

I felt my heart twitch for a moment, and it was beating fast. At least he was being honest.

"Look to your left," I spoke while looking at him.

He was startled and turned his face. He saw me standing on the stairs. He walked toward me andpulled me aside, away from the crowd. Then, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you here?It's crowded here. It's dangerous!"

"Cecilia is coming back today. I'm here to pick her up." I looked up and saw Cindy who was glaringat me from far away. I said, "Miss Reed is still waiting for you. Go back to her. I have to go inside."

"Go inside and replace a seat. Wait for me." He turned around and walked toward Cindy after sayingso.

I did not look at them anymore. After I entered, I found a seat at the corner and sat down. Runninginto him here all of a sudden made me feel unpleasant.

However, there were always problems cropping up. Zedd was busy, so it was normal that Theo hadto pick her up.

Theo had never gotten over Cindy, and he never would.

I clearly knew that, so why did I still care?

After a while, Theo came back and sat beside me. He held my hands and said, "Don't imaginethings. Zedd i s really caught up in something, so I had to come.”

I looked at him and smiled. "I didn't say anything. And it's perfectly fine for you to pick Miss Reedup. I'm not that petty.”

This was really nothing to me. It used to be something usual back then, but now it was just mebeing sensitive and weak.

After 20 minutes, Cecilia walked out pulling two big suitcases. She was slightly surprised when shesaw u s. "The sun must have risen from the west today. I'm s o overwhelmed to be picked up byboth of you. What a n honor!"

I smiled and did not say anything. Theo was the same. He took the suitcases from Cecilia and tookthe lead a s he brought us out.

Cecilia looked at me and gave me a vague smile. "Did anything happen when I wasn’t here?”
