The Woman From Hell

I felt restless. I rubbed the space between my eyebrows. "Tyler, I'm pregnant. Can you please knock i t off?"

"I’m not making any trouble for you, I just want to eat the dumplings you make since I'm injured now. That was all I wanted. If you think it’ll be cumbersome for you to walk back and forth, then I'll come to you instead." He raised his voice.

'What the...'

I resisted the urge to scold him as I said, "Just stay there and don't move, I'll bring it over later." He was a man of his word, so to prevent him from injuring himself further on the way to my house, I had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, I found some tomatoes among the vegetables he had brought here yesterday. When Miss Woods came home from grocery shopping, she saw m e in the kitchen and immediately said, "You can just tell me what you want to eat. You don't have to do it yourself, I don't want you getting choked by the smoke."

I smiled. "No no, I just wanted to make some lasagna and bring it to the hospital."

Miss Woods was slightly stunned, but she calmly asked, "Is it for the man from yesterday? I’ll help you with it.”

"Yes." I nodded and looked at her. "How about we have lasagna for breakfast too, since Theo is at home?"

"What kind of lasagna are you making this early in the morning? Won't you tire yourself out?" Miss Woods did not answer me as Theo's chilling voice rang from outside to interrupt us.

"Why are you awake? Didn't you say you wanted to sleep a little longer?" I turned around to look at him, m y eyes dazzling. 'He's wearing the suit I bought for him! J

It was a decent cut, and the size was just right. The suit looked amazing and when combined with his perfect figure, it was undoubtedly the most handsome and wonderful thing I had ever seen.

After the shock, I remained calm and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be wearing this?"

"It would be a waste if I didn't wear it, don't you know?" He blushed shyly and turned away from the kitchen.

This was the first time I had ever seen him run away i n such great dismay. I laughed at him.

"That’s right, this is how a married couple should behave. So, stop fighting each other in the future. It really hurts both of your feelings." Miss Woods was satisfied with our reactions.

I nodded and went silent. There were just some things I could not control.

With the help of Miss Woods, the lasagna was quickly finished. After reserving some portions for Tyler, Cecilia, and Dr. Lynch, we ate the rest of it for breakfast.

Noticing Theo’s sluggishness at the dining table, I could not help but ask, "Don't you have to go to the office today?"

"Don't you remember that you promised me you'd go t o Whaldorf City tonight?" He raised his head, looking a t me with displeasure.

I gave him an awkward smile. I had completely forgotten about that. He had told me the day before yesterday that we were going to depart today.

"But I haven't prepared anything yet," I whispered once I got over some of the embarrassment.

"You don't have to prepare anything, we won't be staying there for long. Besides, I've already arranged everything there.” He scooped up a piece of his lasagna and began eating.

'It looks like the lasagna has given him his appetite back. He's eating a lot of it.'

"But I haven’t done my pregnancy check-up today yet." I felt like there were a lot of things yet to be settled. I felt uneasy with him suddenly telling me to

leave.

"Don't worry, there are hospitals in Whaldorf City too. I've contacted one of their best obstetricians and had your information transferred over there. Once we reach there, you can have your check-up on time."

I nodded silently, only starting to speak again after a while. "But Cecilia and Doctor Lynch haven't been discharged from the hospital yet. What will they do if we leave now?"

"Mason is fine. He owns the hospital, so why are you worried there won't be anyone taking care of him? If you're that worried about Cecilia, we can bring her to Whaldorf City with us since the house there is large enough. She can accompany you."

Since he had thought about everything, I could not find any excuse to not go on the trip. I thought about it some more before I said, "But you've just scheduled a yoga class for me. I thought it was going to be very helpful for me." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He placed his fork down and ran his insightful eyes over me. Then, he asked calmly, "Tell me, are you reluctant to go to Whaldorf City with me, or is there someone you can't let go of here?"

"No." I shook my head and pursed my lips. "It's just that I'm so used to Salt City now. Thinking that I'll be going to a strange place so suddenly and during such a stressful period of time, I'm just worried that I won’t be able to adapt to the new environment."

He was half right about me being reluctant to move to Whaldorf City. The reason was that Cindy’s parents were there too. Thinking about Grayson Louis' threat from back then, I had a feeling I was volunteering myself for certain death if I went there right now.
