The Woman From Hell Chapter 165
I secretly apologized to Cecilia once again. I had no other choice. If she did not want Mason to know about this, the only thing I could do was to throw her under the bus with some other excuse. “Pfft!” Mason had not learned his lesson from the soy milk earlier. He had begun eating, and this time, he was now choking on a pancake. I was too lazy to hand him any tissues this time around.“Cecilia told you that?” he asked as he dusted pancake crumbs off himself. “She didn’t say it was you, I guessed that myself. So I came to you to get confirmation.” Though I was feeling somewhat sheepish, I forced myself to continue lying through my teeth. Mason had given up on breakfast after the two interruptions to his meal. As he stood up to walk back to his desk, he said, “I strongly suggest you buy some books to read if you’re this bored. Prenatal education is very important. Don’t let this end up affecting the child.” “Dr. Lynch, I swear that I’m just curious. All you have to do is tell

He soon noticed me staring and raised his head to look at me, the corners of his lips rising to form a perfect curve as he asked conversationally, “Am I so handsome that you can get full just from looking at me?” “If looks can be filling, I would definitely be satiated looking at you.” I was not stingy with my praises. He seemed to enjoy listening to me say such things, bestowing a rare smile upon me as he said in a low voice, “In that case, would you like to go home and discuss sexual relations with me?” I had not expected him to say something so suggestive in public… Blushing, I lowered my head to gulp down my bowl of oats. “Hahaha!” His prior gloominess vanished into thin air as he laughed unrestrainedly and jauntily. “Hey, do you know what sort of girlfriend Mason’s family wants him to date? Are they particular about needing both their social statuses to match?” I hurriedly asked, taking advantage of his good mood. Mason came from a family of doctors, and he was also

I did not say anything. It had always been difficult for women to give birth, yet it was rarely something men could empathize with. They always saw it as something simple, thinking that we just had to carry an extra lump of meat within our stomachs for nine months. Theo had always seemed like a chauvinistic male to me, so I was surprised to hear him say that. I soon fell asleep again with him holding me. It was nearly noon when I woke up. “You’re awake. Are you hungry?” Theo did not seem to have slept. He was half-lounging on the bed, holding me with one arm as he used the other to scroll through his phone. I shook my head. He was truly rearing me the way one would rear a pig, getting me to sleep after eating and stuffing me with food the moment I woke up. Craving the warmth of his arms, I lay still and did not move despite no longer feeling sleepy. He put his phone down and turned around to hold me even tighter. After a long while, he said, “It was nice laying with y

“Nothing, I just burnt myself.” I had not expected the pot to be so hot. I quickly faked an air of calm although searing pain was now traveling through my index finger. He picked up my hand and took a look at it. A furious expression took over his face as he asked, “You call this nothing?” It was only then that I saw there was a white scald wound on my index finger, accompanied by the vague smell of burnt flesh. The expression on his face was stony as he dragged me into the living room, found the first-aid kit, and took out the burn ointment to apply onto my finger. He blew air on my finger as he applied it. His actions were gentle, but there was an ugly expression on his face. He did not say a word throughout the entire process. “Um, I didn’t do it on purpose. I accidentally…” I began babbling nervously when I noticed he was angry. He looked up at me, a furious expression on his handsome face and a cold look in his eyes. “Did anyone ask you to touch it? Didn’t you know I had

Cindy was a sort of responsibility of Theo’s. He would never be able to completely ignore her for the rest of his life. Now, perhaps because of the child or because of other reasons, he treated me quite well. Cindy’s departure had been the best ending I could have imagined of. I should have been happy. “Alright,” he answered quietly as he tightened his grip on me.Since Theo had nothing to do in the afternoon, he hired several handymen. He said they had come to install the crib. Worried I would find the environment noisy, he shooed me into the third-floor bedroom and closed the door behind me, forbidding me to go downstairs. I indeed did not like being interrupted by strangers, so I decided to ignore them and lounge in bed to read. Pregnancy made one much more susceptible to falling asleep. I had no idea when I fell asleep, but it was five in the afternoon when I woke up again. My book was now on the bedside table, and someone had pulled a thin blanket over me. Theo must have co

“Yes.” My nose burned slightly as I quietly answered. “I ordered you dinner, someone will send it over later. Soup is included, and you should drink some of it.” His end of the line seemed to be very quiet, and I could even hear echoes as he spoke. He had probably stepped out to stand in a corridor to speak to me. “Alright. Where are you, and what time will you be back?” I felt a wave of emotions rush over me as I gazed at the flowers, feeling a wave of inexplicable warmth and excitement. “I’m having dinner with the others at the hotel. I’ll try my best to be back soon.” His voice sounded very deep. We were still talking when I heard someone call out, “Theowy, come in.” It was Cindy’s voice. “You should go back! I’ll hang up now.” I did not wait for him to say anything else before I hurriedly hung up. I heaved a huge sigh when the call ended. My heart felt as if someone was pinching it slightly. It hurt and stung a little. At the end of the day, I still greatly minded the a

He raised his head obediently, opened his mouth, and took a sip of water.“It’s late. Let’s go upstairs to sleep.”“Okay, I’m going home. Wanda is alone at home and I’m worried about her.” After saying that, he tried to get up again.Uh…Speechless, I pressed him back down into his seat once more and cupped his face. “Theo, I’m Wanda. You’re back home already, so let’s go upstairs to sleep now.”He looked at me with misty eyes, the usual coldness in his eyes now replaced by a hint of warmth. He raised his hand and touched my face, smiling in a very enchanting manner. “What are you doing here? It’s dangerous to be out here alone late at night. Come, let’s go home.”What was going on?“Mm, okay, let’s go home!” It was impossible to reason with a drunkard. I clenched my teeth and threw one of his arms over my shoulders, supporting him as we climbed upstairs. We bumped and banged all the way up the stairs and eventually managed to get upstairs safely, neither of us getting hurt.Af

“You’re going to quit the moment you get married? Didn’t you swear you’d never be a housewife?”We used to talk about life, and I knew Heidi had shared my views. She also thought that even after getting married, a woman should have her own career, otherwise she would be looked down upon by others.I remembered that when I got married, Grandma had once told me to stay at home and not to work.Although I knew she meant well, I insisted on working. It was precisely because of my love for work that I was able to survive those three years Cindy tortured me for.She gave me a wry smile. “Those were just things we said as young and immature girls. I’ve changed my mind now, and I think my family is more important than my career. I’m really sorry, Ms. Wanda, but I’ve made up my mind.”I thought it would be inappropriate for me to try to persuade her anymore at this point, so I said regretfully, “Alright then. Type up your resignation letter and hand over your duties to the next-in-line bef
