The Woman From Hell

Even though Theo was very busy in the following days, he would come home before 11 at night. He would also always drop by in between working hours t o have every meal with me.

Now that my belly was too big, I often found myself sitting in one place and not wanting to move. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I told Miss Woods to set up a deck chair in the yard. I lay there and decided to stay until dinner time when Theo would come back.

There were many flowers in the yard. My mood was great from looking at those beautiful blooming flowers.

Just when I decided to close my eyes and take a nap, my phone rang.

I picked up my phone to see that it was Tyler calling. I frowned and hesitated for a long time before picking i t up.

"Wandy." I could hear the smile in Tyler's voice. "Miss me?"

I lowered my eyes and asked somewhat coldly, "What i s it?"

"It’s your birthday today. You couldn't have forgotten, right?”

My birthday?

I took the phone down from my ear and glanced at the calendar, only to realize that it was indeed my birthday.

It was just that I had not celebrated my birthday for a long time. It seemed like I never did after getting married to Theo.

The fact that someone still remembered my birthday warmed my heart. I eased my tone. "Thank you for still remembering.”

"I'd forget everyone's birthday except yours,” Tyler said while laughing.

I pursed my lips and did not reply.

"I want to see you." A sense of longing seeped through Tyler's tone.

I straightened my hair and replied slowly, "My due date is near. I'm not fit to go out these days.”

Thankfully, Tyler did not insist. "Then we'll wait until the baby is born to meet.”

"Sure," I replied softly.

"I've prepared a gift for you. It’ll reach your house soon. Go receive it yourself."

Just after he said that, a commercial vehicle arrived at the gate and a few bodyguards in black came out of the car. They put the bags that were in their hands at the gate, got into the car, and left.

I got up and walked to the gate. I opened the door and bent down a little to check what was inside.

One of the bags was filled with a few thick photo albums. I took one out and opened it. My tears immediately flowed out of the corners of my eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"I hired someone to put them together. I hope you like them.” Tyler's voice echoed from the phone.

The whole album was filled with Mom's photos. Although they were put together with the help of computer technology, the face in the photos looked like Mom in many ways.

This gift was priceless to me.

After all, there were too few photos left of her. They were not enough for me to reminisce.

“Check the other bag,” Tyler said.

I opened the other bag and saw two toy rabbits. My tears started flowing again. "How did you find them?”

Little girls had always liked playing with dolls. When I walked past a dollhouse many years ago and saw these toy rabbits, I immediately fell in love with them but they were too expensive. There was no way I could have them.

Back then, Tyler was with me. I did not know he saw my reaction back then and even remembered it for so many years.
