The Woman From Hell

I almost spat out the water that I had just drunk. I could not believe how blunt this guy was. He was clearly testing Theo's limit.

I quickly turned my head to look at Theo, but to my surprise, he did not even look angry. Instead, he had a smile on his face. "Actually, I wouldn't have thought that you, the big star, are interested in pregnant women."

Xander's beautiful charming eyes glanced at me as he smiled brightly. "President Grant, you're mistaken. It’s not that I’m interested in pregnant women. It just so happens that the person I'm interested in is pregnant."

"Pfft!" I could not hold back any longer and spat out all the water that was in my mouth, spraying it on Theo's sleeve.

He calmly looked at me and took some napkins to wipe the water on my lips and on my chest.

After that, he slowly cleaned up his cuffs without looking at Xander the entire time. He just said in a cold voice, "Too bad you're a step too late and you'll never have that chance for the rest of your life."

"You’re mistaken again, President Grant. As the saying goes, as long as the hoe swings deep, there's no wall

that can’t be taken down. Even a strong relationship has cracks, not to mention the fact that you guys are already in a precarious situation. The only reason she got married to you was just that she was young and it was a moment of ignorance. I firmly believe that she'll wake up sooner or later and end this mistake of a marriage."

The more I listened to them from the sidelines, the more I could not take it. These two men were being stupid, so I put down my glass, stood up, and said," You two should take your time chatting. I

have something to do, so I’m going to go first.”

After I said that, I left without looking back. Behind m e came Xander's voice, "Wandy, we've made a deal. Once the child is born, I’m going to be his godfather, but I don't mind him calling me 'Daddy' as well. I think it would be more affectionate."

I quickened my steps. The farther I got from that psycho, the better.

My car was parked in the mall's underground parking. The moment I got in, the passenger door opened and Theo got in. He sat down with a darkened look on his face.

'Isn't it office hours?’ From the looks of it, it seemed that he was going home with me.

"Are you going back to the office or home?" I asked.

His eyes were covered with frost as he looked straight ahead. His perfect side profile hardened, and his face turned gloomy. It was as if his body was saying, 'I'm angry and very unhappy.'

I felt a little helpless. Since he was not going to say anything, I assumed he was going home. Hence, I said awkwardly, "You should put on your seat belt."

He had one arm on the car door and the other was rubbing his chin. He looked completely indifferent.

When I saw that he was ignoring me, I had no choice but to shut up and drive back to the villa. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

When we were in the courtyard, Miss Woods was tending the garden. Upon seeing us coming back together, she looked happy. "Why did you guys come back together? Young Mistress, did you pick Young Master up from work? That's right, that's how a couple should be, going out and coming back together. If Old Madam Grant were still alive, she'd be very pleased." 1

Theo had a sullen look on his face and did not say anything. I knew I should keep quiet too, so I just gave her a slight nod.

Perhaps Miss Woods was getting older, but she seemed to be rambling on and on in recent years. Besides that, she always brought up Grandma Grant, s o I guessed that it was because she was getting lonelier.

"You must be tired from shopping all day, right? I still have some chicken soup simmering in the pot. Do you want some? I can start preparing dinner right away." Miss Woods put down her scissors and headed toward

the house.

"She just ate. We’ll eat dinner a little later!" Before I could say anything, Theo spoke first.

After he said that, he grabbed my wrist and went upstairs. He was a little forceful, and my wrist turned slightly red from all the pulling.

After he went inside the bedroom, he slammed the door closed and pressed himself onto me in an overbearing manner. My heart tightened. I knew that h e had been suppressing his feelings the entire journey home and now, he was going to explode.

As I looked at his tall and majestic figure pressing onto my body, I felt a little scared. I could not help but say, "Theo, what are you going to do?"

"Don't you know what I'm going to do? "Theo's gaze darkened and he looked angrier. Even though his breath was hot, it still made me shudder from the chills I felt.

"My children calling someone else their daddy?

Wanda, you've been acting out lately and it's time to cheer up your husband." He raised his hand and cupped my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes.

I was speechless and blamed Xander for spouting nonsense. However, I felt that it still did not justify Theo's anger.

I looked up and stared into his frighteningly cold brown eyes as I tried to force a smile. "He only said that to drive a wedge between us. Couldn't you tell?

Don't fall for his trick.
