The Woman From Hell

Chapter 166

He soon noticed me staring and raised his head to look at me, the corners of his lips rising to form a perfect curve as he asked conversationally, "Am I so handsome that you can get full just from looking at m e?"

"If looks can be filling, I would definitely be satiated looking at you." I was not stingy with my praises.

He seemed to enjoy listening to me say such things, bestowing a rare smile upon me as he said in a low voice, "In that case, would you like to go home and discuss sexual relations with me?”

I had not expected him to say something so suggestive in public...

Blushing, I lowered my head to gulp down my bowl of oats.

"Hahaha!" His prior gloominess vanished into thin air as he laughed unrestrainedly and jauntily.

"Hey, do you know what sort of girlfriend Mason’s family wants him to date? Are they particular about needing both their social statuses to match?" I hurriedly asked, taking advantage of his good mood. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Mason came from a family of doctors, and he was also an only child. His parents would definitely have high

expectations for him, and I could not help but begin worrying about Cecilia.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you so curious about Mason?”

Noticing the odd change in his expression, I lowered m y head and hurriedly said, "No, I just happened to think about that, so I decided to ask you. I'm just trying to talk to you!"

He lowered his gaze. "I don’t know."

We went to the baby supplies shop after eating. I had been the one who suggested shopping, but I ended up being the useless one after we walked into the store. Theo activated his shopaholic mode and threw all the baby supplies he had set his eyes on into the cart, making sure he only chose expensive products.

He quickly filled up several large shopping carts. The sales assistant behind him wore a broad grin on their face.

It hurt for me to watch because there were so many things we would never be able to find a use for. Suggesting we go shopping for baby supplies had merely been a stopgap measure since I knew he had been grumpy.

Who would have guessed...

Within half an hour, he had purchased everything the store offered that a child below the age of one could use. Due to the sheer number of items, he left the sales assistant with a delivery address before dragging me

out.

"Is there anything else you want to buy? Let's go to the third floor," he said as he got ready to head upstairs.

"No, I'm feeling a little tired. I just want to go home and rest," I hurriedly said. The scars from our last clothes shopping trip were still fresh to me, and I did not want to go shopping with him again.

He did not force me to do anything and drove us straight home.

I grew bored during the trip and fell asleep.

After some time, I felt someone taking me into their arms. "Are we home?" I asked as I tried to wrangle myself out of his arms to walk.

"Don't move," Theo bellowed as he tightened his grip o n me to prevent me from falling.

Since he was being so insistent, I decided to wrap my arms around his neck and enjoy how it felt to be carried bridal style.

The corners of his lips lifted upwards into a perfect curve when he noticed me obeying him. Walking straight up to the third floor, he laid me down on the bed and asked gently, "It's quite warm here. Do you want to take a quick shower before napping?"

I shook my head. "I don’t feel like moving. I'll be fine after lying down for a bit." It was the middle of the day, and I was not feeling too sleepy. I had only fallen asleep in the car because I had been bored.

He did not say anything, merely lowering the room's temperature to a suitable degree before taking off my clothes, covering me with a blanket, and ducking into the bathroom.

Although I no longer felt sleepy, my stomach ached slightly from time to time, causing me some discomfort. Lying down made me feel better.

Theo walked out of the bathroom a short while later. I was stunned to see that he had taken a shower.

"Aren’t you going to work?" I had thought he would leave for work after he finished helping me settle down. After all, from what I remembered, he never seemed to have any weekends.

"I'll accompany you at home today." As he spoke, he managed to dry the water clinging to his body, lie down next to me, and reach out to pull me into his arms.

It was the first time I had ever slept next to him during the day, and I felt slightly awkward. However, I had no time to pay attention to that with the pains in my stomach making me instinctively curl up.

"Does it feel very uncomfortable?" When he noticed I was touching my stomach, he reached out and placed his large hand over mine. His palm was slightly warm to the touch.

"Hurts a little bit," I answered quietly.

"Let’s go for a check-up at the hospital." He

immediately sat up and began getting out of bed.

I reached my hand out to grab him. "No need. We’ve had multiple check-ups about this issue already, and the doctor always says it's normal and that it’ll get better soon." I did not enjoy going to the hospital all the time. It made me feel uncomfortable.

For some reason, my stomach had been hurting slightly ever since I became pregnant with this child. I had gone for multiple check-ups, but the doctor had always told me it was fine and normal.

He laid back down and pulled me into his arms again. Nestling me inside his arms, he used a large hand to stroke my stomach gently. "There are about five months left. This must be hard for you."
