The Woman From Hell

I pushed his face away and said, "You haven’t told me when we’re going to visit Grandmother."

"Kiss me and I'll tell you." His eyes were gentle, and there was a trace of a faint smile on the corners of his lips.

I went on my tiptoes, reached out, and held his face. Then, I firmly planted a kiss on his lips as I looked up a t him. "You can tell me now, right?"

People could easily become accustomed to being cheeky.

He was startled for a moment before smiling the next second, revealing the two rows of his white teeth. It was my first time seeing such a bright and pure smile on him. It was so dazzling that it was comparable to the colorful skies. It was as pure as a field of flowers i n spring. I could not pull my gaze away from it!

"Good. We’ll go the day after tomorrow!" he said. I was happy to hear that too.

We had our dinner harmoniously. It was such a rare scene that we were talking and laughing over dinner.

After dinner, we cuddled on the sofa and watched a movie together. Theo waited until the sun went down before pulling me out for a walk.

That night, I slept soundly with peace of mind.

When I woke up in the morning, Theo had already left home. He must have gone to work.

I was feeling refreshed and energized after a good night's sleep. When I thought about going to Whaldorf City in a few days, I decided to visit Cecilia and see what her plan was. Would she be going to Rosella City or was she going to Whaldorf City with me?

When I went down the stairs, I heard Cecilia and Miss Woods talking to each other.

I had no idea what the both of them were talking about. They were talking and laughing, sounding very happy. They did not even notice me when I came downstairs.

"Why did you wake up so early? Aren't you sleepy?" It was only eight o’clock in the morning, but she was already here. She must have woken up extremely early, then. I was worried about her health.

"I couldn't sleep anymore, so I came here. I thought that you might need your phone. That’s why I came here to pass it to you." Cecilia took my phone out of her bag and handed it to me.

"I was planning to go over. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Have a taste of Miss Wood's cooking. I can guarantee you'll love it." I held her arm and walked toward the kitchen.

"Miss Woods already made me breakfast. It was good. I f I knew earlier, I would've visited your house more often," Cecilia smiled and said.

"Who told you not to come? You regret it now, huh?" Cecilia had always hated Theo, so she seldom came. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Hurry up and eat your breakfast. I'm going to talk to Miss Woods for a while." Cecilia had no time for me. She turned around and continued to talk to Miss Woods. Both of them talked about making soup before changing the topic to parenting. They never ran out of things to talk about.

They finally stopped when Miss Woods had to go grocery shopping. Sometimes, I was impressed by Cecilia's extroverted personality. She was able to become friends with anyone. I could not do that, even i f it was someone close to me. It was hard for me to find a topic to talk about, not to mention with strangers.

"Wanda, your housekeeper knows a lot. She’s good at cooking too. I feel like staying in your house too." After Miss Woods left, Cecilia lounged on the sofa and let out a sigh.

I thought about the matter regarding going to Whaldorf City. I sat beside her and said seriously," Theo is planning to develop his career in Whaldorf City. We're going there in a couple of days to adapt to the new environment for a while. Can you accompany me?"

"Forget it. I'm not following you and becoming a third wheel. He’s kind to you now. And I'm taking it easy. I'll either go back to the countryside or to Rosella City after you leave.”

"But I hate to leave you and I’m worried about you. Your belly is so big now. What are you supposed to do i f there’s no one beside you?" I looked at her, concerned.

"Relax. I'm tough, and I'll take good care of myself. The baby is only a few months old. It’s not that inconvenient. I’ll go look for you when I’m near my delivery date and can't move about freely.”

There was a smile on Cecilia's face. However, I could see that she was feeling a little depressed. The loneliness in her eyes was visible.

I glanced at her and spoke carefully. "You're not planning to tell Doctor Lynch about the baby?"

Her face sank, and she looked slightly impatient. "The baby is mine. It has nothing to do with him. Why do I have to tell him about it? It’s not like I can’t support the child."

Alright, it was just me being nosy. I might as well keep silent and stop talking. No one could interfere with the affairs of others. It was up to them to handle it.

"Let’s go find Jerome at the hotel!" Cecilia was aware that her emotions were not right. She put on a relaxed smile on her face, looked at me, and spoke.

That was what I was thinking about too-a spontaneous trip. I immediately went upstairs to wash up. Then, we went out together.
