The Woman From Hell

She looked at Theo aggrievedly. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.

However, Theo did not even glance at her. He helped m e up from the sofa. "It's getting late. Wanda can't stay u p too late, so I'm going to bring her back home."

Mason was in a bad mood and followed suit, getting u p to say goodbye.

"Seriously?" Zedd was dissatisfied. "It's still so early. W e used to hang out at least till midnight before this."

"That was then, this is now." Theo put his hand on my stomach.

Zedd gave me a disgruntled look but did not say anything else.

"I have some things I need to do tomorrow," Mason said quickly before Zedd could ask.

"Sh*t." Zedd grabbed his hair with annoyance. "If all of you are leaving, why should I stay? Fine, I guess this party's over. We'll get together again another day."

"Miss Sherman isn't back yet," I reminded out loud.

Mason frowned slightly and took his phone out of his pocket. "I'll call her." "Miss Reed, Miss Reed..." Before he called her, Nadia

appeared in the doorway of the private room.

She was panting and looked a little anxious. "Miss Reed, South Waterside Pavilion is closed at this hour. Do you want to pick another place?”

"Pick another place? Hmph." Cindy scoffed. "I’ve already lost my appetite after being annoyed at you."

After she said that, she pushed Nadia away and walked out of the private room.

Nadia lowered her head and looked a little aggrieved. Mason frowned but did not say anything.

I just wanted to go home, so I tugged on Theo's sleeve t o signal him to leave.

When we left through the main entrance of the clubhouse, Theo went to bring the car over while I stood there waiting for him.

"You're due soon, right?" Mason walked up to my side.

I nodded gently. "Yeah. In less than a month."

I glanced up at Mason and could not help but ask, "Is Nadia currently working with you?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Mm-hmm." Mason's voice remained cold. "For the time being, she’s working with me."

After a moment, Mason hesitantly asked, "What’s Cecilia busy doing these days?"

I froze and asked curiously, "Why are you asking?" "No reason." Mason did not really want to answer my

question.

"Do you want to see her?" I probed.

I knew Cecilia's character. If she did not like Mason, there was no way she would have been willing to carry his child. Out of my own selfish desires, I hoped that something would happen between the two of them.

Of course, that was only how I felt. I had no way of interfering with what Mason thought about Cecilia.

At that moment, Theo pulled up and I regretted not hearing Mason's reply.

"Let's find a day to continue our talk," I said faintly and walked toward Theo's car.

When I almost reached the car, Mason's cold voice came from behind me. "Make sure you have someone you trust by your side when you give birth."

I stopped in my tracks, turned my head, and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry."
