The Woman From Hell



After dinner, he was the one who washed the dishes.

The sound of the tap running in the kitchen stopped. I was sitting on the sofa when he brought fruit over. I turned on the TV and watched it.

Matthew sat next to me and observed me.

I looked at him and just so happened to meet his gaze. I smiled without panicking at all. "What's the matter? I'm going to have a hard time concentrating on this TV show if you keep looking at me like this."

"You're different today," he said softly.

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment before I slowly smiled. "Am I?"

He hummed, then turned his head. "You always went to your room after eating before this."

"I probably got bored staying in the room. That's why I want to stay outside. In fact, it's not bad staying out here to watch TV. I even get to eat fruit." I used a toothpick to pick up a piece of fruit and popped it into my mouth. It was chilly. It felt great.

I would always be amused by the sitcoms aired on TV.

Matthew, who was beside me, was calm. He only smiled slightly when something funny came up and showed no extra expressions.

During the advertisement break, he suddenly called my name with a serious expression. In a low tone, he asked, "Do you miss him?"

I knew he was talking about Theo.

I pursed my lower lip and gulped. I did not respond to him for a long time.

"I want to hear the truth," he said again.

I nodded. My voice was small and soft as I answered, "I miss him a lot, but what can I do?"

Looking at him, my eyes were full of desolation.

I lowered my eyes and laughed with tears in my eyes. "You want me to forget Theo now, but I can't do it. You want me to accept you now, but I can't do that too. All I can do now is to adapt and get used to everything here, or I'll go crazy."

I answered sincerely. Matthew heardMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.

this, and the expression on his face did not change. He was neither happy nor angry. "As long as you're not thinking of leaving, it's fine. You'll forget him one day."

He firmly believed that time would dilute everything.

However, what he did not know was that I had never forgotten Theo even though I had been in Zenon for three years. It was different this time, though The child would be born in a few months, and I did not want them to see someone who was not his father at first sight.

I sighed and replied, "Maybe. I don't know."

Matthew just glanced at me and said nothing. He then went into his room.

I sat on the couch, still watching TV. I did not go back to my room until it was very late.

I was alone in the room. When Matthew mentioned Theo, it reminded me of him. I remembered his embrace and his voice, and I wanted to be by his side even more.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. Theo's figure still occupied my mind.

I had been missing for so many

days. He must be very anxious. He

must be asking people to search for any news about me, but this place was too far away from Whaldorf City. He might not be able to get any.

The temple fair was just a few days away. I had to confirm the location as soon as possible.

I fell asleep while thinking about this.

In my dream, I dreamt of Theo and Munchkin. We were very happy together.

Unconsciously, a tear fell from the corner of my eye.

When I woke up, I could still feel the tears in the corners of my eyes. I reached out to wipe them away, but my nose turned red, and I wanted to cry

even more.

I got up after laying in bed for a long time. I came out after washing up and saw that Matthew had already eaten while my breakfast was on the table. "Have breakfast. I'm leaving."

He left but still locked the door behind me.

I sighed...
