The Woman From Hell

After he paused for a while, he continued, "You guys have never been in contact all these years, so you suddenly contacting him must mean that your situation is getting worse. It also means that you’re unhappy in your marriage. You're suffering and living a bad life. Why didn't you tell me any of that?"

Tyler spoke very slowly, and every word he said hammered my heart.

I felt so angry that I could not stop myself from yelling, "How I'm living right now has nothing to do with you and it’s none of your business!"

After I said that, I hung up the phone before he had a chance to reply.

The indescribable anger inside my heart surged through my body. I was so angry that I could not stand it any longer. Though, I had to admit that Tyler did know me very well. Every word he said hit me deep inside my heart and I had nowhere to hide. I could not control my emotions any longer and felt like I was going to explode.

Theo did not say anything but just looked at me with a prying look, as if he wanted to see through me.

The room became terribly quiet, and even the air felt

like it was pressing down on me.

I knew Theo was angry, but I did not feel like explaining anything to him at this moment. I was afraid that if I said anything, we would end up quarreling again. Hence, I decided to just lay down on the bed and stare at the ceiling.

After a long time, he reached over and took me into his arms.

This was not the first time he did that. It had always been this way after the kidnapping incident.

My phone rang again.

I massaged my temples. 'Is today some kind of special occasion?' NôvelDrama.Org © content.

This time, before I could reach out and grab my phone, Theo picked it up and pressed the answer button right away. His actions were forceful, showing his discontent.

"It’s Cecilia. I brought you some fruits that I picked myself. Come down and get them. I'm at your door." It was Cecilia's voice.

"She's busy." I was about to say something when he answered first.

Perhaps due to Theo’s abruptness, Cecilia was silent for a long time before she continued, "The driver is right outside the door. It won't take long."

"We're in bed." Theo's voice was low, and his tone was tinged with suppressed anger.

Not only was I speechless, but I guess Cecilia was also taken aback by his bluntness. She did not say anything for a long time and finally hung up in the end.

Theo had a dark expression on his face. He turned the phone off and threw it onto the sofa.

Knowing that he was angry, I did not say anything either.

The entire house seemed chilly.

He kissed my forehead lightly and whispered, "Go take a shower, you're sweaty."

"I don't feel like moving. I’m too tired." I lay there, unmoving. At this point, I was too out of breath to even walk, let alone exercise. It felt like my bones were about to fall apart.

"Come on, be a good girl. It’ll be uncomfortable if you fall asleep like this." After he said that, he got up and carried me across the room into the bathroom.

I closed my eyes and did not move as he patiently helped me clean my body. After that, he dried me with a towel and carried me back to the bed before going back into the bathroom to take a shower.

I was tired and sleepy, so I soon fell asleep. Right before I fell asleep, a thought came to my mind.' Gentle Theo is nice! If only he can always be this gentle and considerate.’
