The Woman From Hell



Just like that, I went to my room and slept for a while. I endured till late at night.

As night fell, there was the rustling sound of the door unlocking from outside. Matthew returned with a lot of things in his hands. It looked like he had gone and made a huge purchase.

While he unloaded everything and put them into the refrigerator, he said to me, "I bought a lot of food that you like to eat and some things that you should be eating now. You'll definitely like them."

I sat on the sofa and watched him quietly as he put everything into the refrigerator. He then took out the ingredients that he would be preparing tonight without saying a word.

Matthew probably knew that I was still angry about what happened during the day, but he ignored me and started cooking on his own. After a while, the aroma of the dishes wafted from the table. "It's time to eat."

I got up slowly and went forth at a slow pace. He was quite considerate and pulled out a chair for me. The meat and vegetables matched well and were all nutritious. At first glance, they were to supplement my body.

If he was the same Matthew as before, I think I would be very happy, but now all I could express now was sorrow.

Every now and then I looked at the door thinking why his auntie had not come yet.

"What's the matter? Does it not taste good?" Matthew thought the dishes he prepared were not to my taste and asked worriedly.

I shook my head. "It's nothing, it's delicious, but I can't really eat."

"Just eat some at least. Even if you're not hungry, think about your child."

I did not answer him and continued pawing at my food.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Oh, Matty. You're finally here."

A loud voice sounded from outside the door. I secretly rejoiced but I did not dare reveal it on my face.

Matthew was also puzzled when he saw her. "Auntie? Is something wrong?"

"I heard from the village chief you came back and that you brought your bride with you. Why didn't you come visit, us? No, I personally came here today and brought you some of our goodies," she said as she brought out two bottles of

homebrewed wine and placed them on the table. "It's very aromatic."

Matthew looked to be quite close with his second aunt. There was a hint of nostalgia in the expression he was wearing now.

This auntie sure knew how to talk but she just would not bring up the matter from the day.

I waited patiently and after a while,

she finally brought it up. "We're all relatives, friends, and neighbors. You need to show yourself more when you have the time, especially you. Wanda, right? You've just arrived. You need to walk around the neighborhood so that everyone can get to know you. We can take care of each other in the future."

"You're right, auntie, but Matthew was worried. That's why he didn't let me out."

"How can you do that, you brat?

The auntie's words were reasonable and I hoped Matthew could be persuaded.

"I'm worried that since Wanda is new here, she's not familiar with this place and might get lost."

"So this is what you're worried about. If you're worried, I can take Wanda for a walk and we can get to know each other."

Matthew pursed his lower lip. Although he was reluctant, he seemed to have no choice but to compromise. "Alright, let's hear what Wanda thinks."

I knew I could not agree too quickly. I pretended to hesitate before shaking my head. "No, it's too much trouble for you, auntie. I think I'll just stay in my room."

Auntie was instantly upset when she heard this. "You young people, are just too lazy to move. If you get sick in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
