The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 836

After a quick tidying up, I drove straight to the mall where Quinn and I had agreed to meet.

She was waiting at the entrance of the mall. When she saw me, she could not help but complain, "You dillydally too much. Come a bit later and I'd have frozen into an ice sculpture."

11 H

Why did she have to wait outside?

I helplessly sighed. "The road's too slippery. I couldn't drive too fast.”

She snorted coldly and said no more. She turned around and walked into the mall.

We took the elevator to the first basement floor to grab a cart.

Quinn crossed her arms and spoke in a commanding tone, "How can one cart be enough? Get another."

"Okay," I helplessly responded.

When we entered the supermarket, she stopped acting like a noblewoman and more like a nagging middle-aged woman. She was constantly comparing brands, complaining non-stop.

"Are you indecisive, Quinn?" I asked with a smile.

Quinn was stunned, then tossed both brands of goods into the cart. She said in disdain, "Only the poor are indecisive.”

I was rendered speechless and followed behind her as she continued walking forward.

"Do you know how to make a wrap?" Quinn heartlessly complained, "Don't tell me you've been buying frozen wraps every new year?"

I nodded forcefully. "I would either buy frozen ones or ready-made ones and add fresh ingredients to them."

Quinn snorted. "You're unbelievable."

Was I supposed to get mad now?

When I saw Quinn grabbing a bag of flour and putting i t into the shopping cart, I had no way of retorting anymore. She knew how and I did not, so I had definitely lost here.

After shopping at the supermarket, Quinn finished paying for the groceries and ordered the supermarket’s delivery service to send them home.

Later, she brought me to a Japanese restaurant as a reward for shopping with her.

I gladly accepted the free meal.

When we had taken our seats, Quinn said, "This

Japanese restaurant is an authentic one. You should try it."

I nodded with a smile. "Since you say that it's good, then it should be really good."

My words had flattered Quinn, which put a smile on her face.

"There’s an authentic Japanese restaurant in Salt City too. I often dined there before I came to Whaldorf City."

Her words carried a strong sense of nostalgia.

She left Salt City when she reached adulthood, and home existed only in her memory now.

This Japanese restaurant was not what she loved, but i t was the taste of home in her memories.

When I was upset as a kid, Mother would give me a piece of candy. I loved eating candy now not because I liked it but because the sweetness reminded me of my beloved childhood.

Before the dishes were served, I planned to use the washroom. I got up, saying, "I'm going to the washroom, Quinn."

"I'll go with you." Quinn stood up with me. "I need to wash my hands too."

Although she said it in a very gentle manner, it was more than enough to make Cindy's expression grow distorted.

Her smile turned stiff. "Although Theowy and I aren't related, we're closer than relatives. You're his cousin, s o you’re my cousin too."

Cindy dealt with the situation with commendable skills.

When had this woman, who only knew how to bring u p her late parents, mature?

Quinn did not insist and merely said with a faint smile on her face, "You’re right. Theo treats you as his sister so you should treat me as your cousin too. As your cousin, I think I should be concerned about your marriage choices. You're in your 30s now. Do you have a crush?"

There was always someone better than the other. It was clear from what she was saying that Cindy and Theo merely shared a sibling relationship.

If Cindy said that she liked Theo, then that would be electral love.

The smile on Cindy’s face grew even stiffer. "I don't have a crush yet. Besides, I think it's pretty good to be alone."

Half of those words were mostly to comfort herself.

Quinn nodded, sounding extra enthusiastic. "That won't do. A woman will eventually need to marry. Whether you'll end up with a divorce or a happy married life, you’ll still need to get married. Otherwise, your life will only end in regret."

After a pause, she continued, "Didn't you like Mr.

Nicols last time? I can see that he takes good care of you. He's a good guy. Don't you have plans to marry him?"

Zedd?

At this point of the conversation, Cindy did not know what to say anymore and let out an awkward laugh." You may have made a mistake, Quinn. Zedd and I are just friends.”

Quinn said in pity, "Oh, you're just friends.”
