The Woman From Hell

After getting into the car, I checked the time and it was already ten o'clock at night. It was still raining heavily outside.

I thought about the divorce agreement in the drawer and felt a little upset. Although I was reluctant to go back, this was Whaldorf City, not Salt City. I had nowhere to go. What was more, I did not have any money in my pocket.

I could not help but look out the window and daydream. The world was such a big place yet there was not a single place I could go when I was in a bad mood. It was sad just thinking about it.

After driving for some time, I realized that the route was wrong. Although I was not familiar with Whaldorf City, I knew that this was not the right way home.

I had no choice but to turn to look at Matthew.

He fixed his gaze ahead. "It's too dark now, so it'll be inconvenient for me to send you back. Go to the Zimmers' place to spend the night!”

He looked calm, and his tone was indifferent. I was surprised that he knew what I was thinking about.

Before I could say anything, the car had arrived at the Zimmers' villa. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Left with no other choice, I followed him out of the car. As soon as I entered the house, I bumped into Quinn who was walking downstairs while putting on her clothes. She looked a little nervous.

When she saw me, her anxious expression instantly relaxed. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression," What are you doing with Matthew, Wanda?"

"It was a coincidence," Matthew said and turned around to go upstairs.

Quinn glanced curiously at him, then turned to me and asked, "Why did you come here without bringing anything? Theo is anxious to death.”

I smiled faintly. "I forgot."

She did not ask any more questions and merely took out her phone to call Theo.

Not knowing what to say, I sat on the sofa in silence.

After hanging up, Quinn did not say another word and merely poured me a glass of warm water. She sat on the couch and looked at me pensively.

I did not want to explain to her but this was really awkward. Fortunately, Theo rushed over in no time at all.

He was panting and sweating. He rarely lost his composure like this. His countenance did not look so good.

Quinn went over when she saw him while muttering under her breath, "Talk it out. She's pregnant. Don't scare her away.”

The living room was very quiet, so even though she was speaking in a hushed tone, I could still hear her. I bowed my head and sat on the couch without moving

There was not a single expression on Theo's face. He walked over, crouched down in front of me, took my hand, and asked in a deep but gentle tone, "Have you eaten dinner yet?" 1

I nodded, then stood up and said to Quinn, "I'll be going home now, Quinn. Thank Matthew for me."

After saying that, I got up and walked out of the villa without sparing Theo a glance.

He followed behind me and opened the front passenger door for me. I did not get in but went straight to the back seat, where I opened the door and got in.

He stood on one side looking at me in silence. In the end, he did not say a word and revved up the engine to drive home.

The whole way home, I closed my eyes and did not say a word.

The traffic was pretty smooth and we arrived home in about 20 minutes. When we arrived home, he parked the car and I got down. There were many people standing in the courtyard whom I had not seen before. They were probably the doctors and caretakers he hired.

Seeing that I had returned, everyone breathed a sigh o f relief, looking pleased and delighted.

I did not speak to them and went into the house, immediately going upstairs.

Theo came upstairs half an hour later. I had already finished washing up and lay on the bed.

Seeing that he was about to take off his shirt, I said," Theo, can you sleep in another room tonight?"

He paused in his action, then continued his movements before tossing his shirt away. He then stared at me with a slightly cold gaze. His voice was deep and low. “Give me a reason!"

"I just want to sleep alone." I looked at him, my tone firm and decisive.

He propped his hands on the bed, smirking. He said in a flat tone, "I want to hear the truth!”

I could tell that he was trying very hard to control his anger.

“We're separating sooner or later, no? It'll be better for us to get used to how things will be." I felt extremely suffocated. I did not look at him but stared at the ceiling instead.

"Is that why you went out tonight?" he asked in a cold voice. "I didn't expect you to find a new target so soon. Matthew, huh?"

I was infuriated and jumped up from the bed. "That's slander, Theo Grant!"

He looked at me with a smirk. "Am I wrong?"
