The Woman From Hell



Late that night, I leaned on Theo's strong shoulders, feeling so secure.

"It's only been a week, but I feel that it's been a long time since I was able to spend time with you this quietly." I was feeling a little emotional. Things seemed to still be the same. Maybe this was what they meant by absence made the heart fonder.

Hearing my words, Theo let out a low smile and shrugged his shoulders. I looked up at him. Seeing the smile on his lips, my expression changed slightly. "What? Don't you think so?"

Even I could feel the threat in my tone.

Theo's expression suddenly turned serious. He nodded his head a few times solemnly. "Yes, you're right, Madam. It really feels like a long time since we last were together."

"How half-hearted." I stood up and patted his chest. I straightened my back and then massaged it a little.

Noticing my actions, Theo put down the tablet in his hand. “Does your back hurt?"

"It's probably sore. It's been getting worse recently."

It was likely because of my pregnancy.

Theo put his work aside, then turned to me. "Lie down. I'll massage it for you."

I raised my brow, feeling a little surprised. "Really?"

"Yes, lie down quick."

"I'm more than happy to."

I quickly lay down. He exerted an adequate amount of strength. He was not too heavy-handed. Perhaps I had overestimated his strength, but it felt really good to be massaged by him.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill," I said with surprise.

Theo answered me while still massaging my back. "I read up on it before. Pregnant women are most likely to suffer from back pain."

Hearing this, I smiled. That was quite thoughtful.

"I also want to eat sour plums. Can you find them for me too?"

"Of course. I'll go ask around tomorrow." Theo agreeing to it without hesitation made me so happy.

I laughed. Folding my hands under my head, I turned my head to one side. "It's alright. I was just saying." Suddenly, Theo increased his strength, and I could not help howling. "Theo, what are you doing?!"

"It's my wife's punishment for teasing me." I could hear his smile when he said it.

After heaving a few times, I explained, "How can I tell if you're telling the truth if you don't say anything?"

"Whatever the madam wants, I'll do my best to satisfy." Theo's tone suddenly took on a serious edge.

That went straight to my heart. I trusted him on that.

I felt a surge of sweetness in my heart. I pursed my lips and smiled. Under Theo's gentle massage, I actually fell asleep.

In my dream, I felt someone moving

my body. They put their hands on

my stomach and patted it lightly The way they did it seemed to put the child in my stomach more at ease.

That night, I slept very soundly.

When I woke up the next day, I was refreshed.

Theo was still here when I went downstairs. He was preparing

breakfast for me. "It's rare that

you're not at the company despite it being so late."

He had just brought out the juice and looked in my direction when he heard my voice. "I was waiting for the madam so that we could go for her maternity check-up together."

"Oh." I would have forgotten that it was time for my prenatal check-up today if he had not said anything.

I was also a little worried about the child after the time I spent in Anmead Village, so it was good for me to go for a check-up today.

"Yes. So, come and have breakfast and we'll leave as soon as possible after we're done eating."

"Understood, President Grant," I joked deliberately.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Theo glanced at me, his expression happy as he laughed with me.

For a day that began with smiles, it probably would not be a bad one, I thought...
