The Woman From Hell

I was sweating because I did not expect him to read the news reports which referred to me as 'mysterious rich madam'.

The whole thing was my fault and I could not help but sigh. "Theo, we've been together for so many years. You should know me by now. You're the only man for n

me.

"Heh, you overestimate me, Wanda. How could I possibly know you? You’re conceited and always go too far. You have your own opinion about everything. When have you ever prioritized me?" He laughed coldly, his face overcast. His dark eyes were gloomy and chilly.

I knew he was angry, but I could not stand him speaking grimly and coldly to me. He knew very well what had happened between me and Xander but he just wanted to use it as an excuse to make things difficult for me.

I was not happy, so I could not be bothered to be polite. "Theo, you should watch what you say. We've been together for years. Who’s the one who always goes too far? What about your incident with Miss Reed? Isn't that just as bad? Did I ever say anything about that? You know that the news isn’t true, so why

don't you just listen to my explanation?"

When I saw that he was not saying anything, I continued, "You should know very well how you've been treating me all this while. If it weren't for the baby that I'm pregnant with, you would've probably kicked me out of the house by now.’’

The more I spoke, the more wronged I felt. My tears could not help but fall.

He was silent and looked at me with a chill in his eyes, not saying a word.

His silence gave me a burst of courage. I wiped away my tears and continued, "Don’t look at me like that. Everything I said is the truth. I know you don't love m e and Grandma was the one who forced you to marry me. But this is just a stumbling block, Theo. I've been with you for three years and love you tenderly. But you? All you want to do is kick me out and force me to divorce you."

I was so emotional that I started crying. Although there was an element of acting, everything I said was the truth.

Theo put down his phone, grabbed a tissue from the table, and handed it to me. His face darkened as he said, "You're going to end up eating your snot at this rate."

I did not take the tissue he offered me and let my tears and snot slide down my face.

I paused and continued to vent, "Clearly, someone’s trying to frame me. It's fine if you don’t want to help m e, but to mock me and speak sarcastically to hurt me? You think I'm hurting your reputation, but have you ever thought about how many times you've hurt me in the past three years? Or how wronged I feel?”

I sobbed and continued, "When this happened, I was afraid and wanted to explain it to you, but you blocked me before you knew what actually happened. You even changed the locks to our house so that I couldn't come back."

When I cried and told him that I was wronged, Theo's face finally eased up and he looked at me with a smile.

When I saw that he was not angry anymore, I decided t o strike while the iron was hot and continued, "Theo I know that you've always wanted to kick me out of the house, but even then, you should divorce me first so that I can marry someone else and my child will have someone to call Dad'."

"Shut up! Are you done?" He suddenly spoke with a voice full of anger, "Who would want to marry you?” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Why not? You don't want us, so why do you care if I remarry or not? Since I'm disliked, I'd better leave and not be a bother to you."

After I said that, I got up and pretended to leave. I had exhausted all my methods and said everything I wanted to say, even if I should not have. It was his choice whether he wanted to forgive me. There was nothing else I could do.

He grabbed my hand and said, "You must be tired from all the crying, so you're probably hungry. Let’s have dinner!"

"Yes, yes. Have your dinner first, Young Mistress. I made your favorite dishes." Miss Woods came out at the right time to be the peacemaker.

When I saw that we were back to being on good terms, I knew I should not push it anymore. When I stood there without moving or saying anything, Theo got up and pulled me toward the dining room.

The entire dinner felt awkward. Theo did not say a word and would put food on my plate from time to time. I could not refuse, so I just buried my head and ate silently.

Since Miss Woods rarely ate with us, she got me a bowl of chicken soup as she said, "Pregnant women should have enough nutrition. Otherwise, it might affect the child's intelligence. And make sure your mood is always good. Don't cry too much if you want your child to be smart and have a good personality."

Although I knew that Miss Woods was talking nonsense, I just listened to her quietly and nodded.

Theo's eyes were slightly narrowed and he looked like he was thinking about something, but I did not know what was on his mind. Even so, it seemed that he had calmed down a little.

After eating, I sat there with some hesitation. Earlier, h e told me to have dinner before I left. However, if I left now, all my effort would be wasted. If I did not, he would just continue to ignore me and it would be very awkward.
