The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2346



"Wanda, don't be angry," came Theo's deep and maic voice.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He came to me. He tried to hold me in his arms and utter soft whispers in my ear.

If it were before, I would have forgiven him immediately.

It was different this time. This was a matter of principle. He was hiding something from me, and no matter how much I prodded him, he refused to disclose even a bit of the matter.

I suddenly felt rattled. I was terrified that something had really happened to him.

"What are you hiding from me?"

Theo paused, his brows lowering slightly. "I'm not hiding anything from you."

"I want you to tell me the truth." I got up and looked at him, hoping that he would not be perfunctory or try to evade me. I wanted him to talk to me properly.

Theo felt a little helpless, but he did not run away this time. He looked into my eyes and said, "There's nothing to say."

I looked into his eyes, trying to find something in them, but I found nothing.

No guilty conscience, no impatience. Perhaps he did encounter some problems and was solving them. I should not be so forceful.

"I trust you. I just don't want you to hide anything from me. We're husband and wife. I hope you trust me." I hope he could try to rely on me.

Theo stroked my hair and gently held me in his arms.

"Don't think too much about it."

I leaned into his arms, yearning for the warmth of his body.

The next day, Marius came over all of a sudden when I was working at the company and dragged me to a nearby shopping mall without saying a word.

"What are you doing? Hey! Let me go! I still have work."

"You can come back later and deal with it. I need your help."

I was dragged away with a confused expression. "What did you bring me here for?"

"Choose a gift." He had taken me to the third floor.

"What gift?" I asked puzzled.

Marius glanced at me and then explained with a smile, "It's my mother's birthday today. She insists that I bring you back for dinner. I

I

have no choice, so I could only come

to you." Content belongs to

I was still a little puzzled. Why did he bring me to the mall if it was his mother's birthday?

"Ah, you don't know what to give her, so you want me to help you choose something, yes?"

I thought of this and started carefully selecting her gift.

"No," Marius said sharply.

I looked back at him suspiciously, not understanding what he was saying.

He knocked on my head when he saw my confusion. "Sis Wan, hurry up and choose a gift. I'll take you back after that."

"Why do you want me to go back with you?"

He was dumbfounded. "Did you forget that you pretended to be my girlfriend last time?"

I was in the middle of carefully

selecting a gift when I heard him say this. I stood up abruptly and looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face. "It's been three months. You haven't told her about our breakup yet?"

We agreed at the time that I would pretend to be his girlfriend for a

.n

while and that after three

he

would take the initiative to tell his mother about our breakup

Marius scratched his head in embarrassment, looking a little guilty. "I wanted it to last longer so that my mother wouldn't nag me again."

I was helpless after hearing that.

"That's not okay. You have to clear things up with your mother. If not, will you be asking me for help every time in the future?"

Marius smiled guiltily. He acted dumb and urged me to choose a gift quickly.

I shook my head helplessly. Since I had agreed to help, I had to see to it till the end.

After picking out a good gift quickly, he took me home.
