The Woman From Hell Chapter 167
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

Theo frowned slightly, but he did not say anything.The girl quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Grant. It’s lunch break now, so I thought you wouldn’t be in the office anymore. I bought a few books to put in your bookcase for you.”Looking like she felt a little awkward now, she placed all the books on the bookcase and gave me an uneasy look before turning around and leaving.After she left, I scanned the office’s surroundings and said, “How alive and vibrant! This all looks pretty nice.”He put down his cutlery, put a frivolous look on his charming face, and pulled me into his arms. “Hmm, why do you sound so jealous?”I shook my head slightly. “No, I just think you and your office have changed so suddenly recently. Both feel much warmer now. It really is a pretty good change.”He smirked as he held me in his arms. “These are all indicators of life. They’re really resonating with your current state, aren't they?”I did not say anything. Although I knew what he meant by that, it

After hearing what I had said, Miss Woods’ somewhat morose expression lit up.She said with a smile, “Young people like you don’t enjoy cooking. You’re pregnant now and shouldn’t be eating out for all meals of the day. That’s so unhealthy. Give me a moment, there’s still half a chicken in the fridge. I’ll make soup for you right away.”“Okay.” I smiled and followed her into the kitchen.“As long as you don’t mind having me around, I’ll stick around to take care of the two of you and not leave again. I believe the late old lady will be pleased with such an arrangement too,” Miss Woods talked nonstop as she cooked.“Oh, please do, Miss Woods. You’d better keep your promise. I was hoping you’d take care of my child for me.” I leaned on the doorframe to chat with her.Being needed was a blessing for the elderly!Though I was not hungry, I drank a big bowl of soup after Miss Woods finished boiling the soup. By the end of it, I felt as though my belly was about to burst open.I then b
