The Woman From Hell

"Tyler Schuman, a lot of time has passed and the situation has changed. We're not who we used to be. I'm married now. I have a home and someone to protect. You have your career, and you'll meet someone you love in the future. Therefore, we all have to move on," I looked at him and spoke calmly.

"But why do you choose to continue leading a miserable life? Theo doesn't love you, and he can't give up his feelings for Cindy. You’re destined to live i n her shadow for the rest of your life. In that case, why are you giving yourself a hard time? Why don't you leave?"

I did not want to continue the conversation anymore when I saw how emotional he was being. I looked at him and said, "Have a good rest. I’m a little tired, so I'll be going home now."

After that, I stopped looking at him, turned around, and left the ward.

It was already dark outside. I had driven Tyler's car when I came, so I had to take a taxi home.

Soon, I was back at the villa. I felt uneasy as I stood outside and looked at the lights in the house. I did not know how to face Theo after going in. I had no idea what to tell him.

'My actions today must've upset him very much!

'But I couldn't just sit back and ignore Tyler. It would’ve made me uneasy. The whole thing is just unreasonable!’

I stood outside the door for a long time until my legs started to feel sore. Then, I stepped into the house while I told myself, "What’s to come, will come."

Before I entered the house, I could not stop the pounding in my heart. I raised my right hand and put i t on my chest before I gently pushed the door open.

There was no one in the living room.

I breathed a sigh of relief, changed my shoes, and walked to the dining room.

Miss Woods was making dinner in the kitchen. She was all smiles when she saw me. "Young Mistress, you're back. Dinner is ready, and it’s still warm. Hurry up and wash your hands.”

Miss Woods asked me to have dinner with a smile on her face as usual, which relieved my anxiety.

There was a luxurious-looking package on the table. I could not help but ask, "Miss Woods, whose parcel is this?"

"It’s yours. I just received it in the afternoon. I haven't had time to put it upstairs," Miss Woods answered loudly from the kitchen.

‘Mine?’

After I opened the parcel, I suddenly remembered that they were the custom suits I had ordered for Theo back then. I did not expect them to come so soon.

As soon as I sat down, Miss Woods brought me four dishes and a bowl of stew. It looked like they had been prepared earlier. Everything smelled good. After a hectic afternoon, I was a little hungry. I could not help but pick up the chopsticks and began eating.

Instead of leaving like she normally would have, Miss Woods sat down at the table and watched me eat with a smile. She said with a laugh, "Eat slowly. You don’t want to choke while eating."

"Okay. Miss Woods, today’s pork stew tastes very good. It’s hearty and delicious." After taking a sip of the stew, I gave her a thumbs-up.

"If it's delicious, drink as much as you like. The pork today is fresh, that's why the stew tastes delicious. It was also simmered for a longer time." She smiled happily.

A cook was happiest when they were praised for their food.

I continued to eat. Miss Woods seemed to have something she wanted to say but was biting her tongue.

After I picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into m y mouth, I said, "Miss Woods, just say what's on your mind. I'll listen attentively."

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Young Mistress, I, an old lady, should not interfere with your affairs, but I'm worried that you and the young master will part ways i n the future. I'm also afraid that I'll be ashamed to face old madam after this. Just think of me as an old fool who wants to nag!”

"Miss Woods, please don’t say that. You're an elder, and all of us should listen to you." I put down the chopsticks and listened attentively to Miss Woods, i

"At first, I was glad to see you and Young master being affectionate. But who knew that something like this would happen today? After you left, Young Master locked himself up in the study without even eating anything. His back seems to be injured too. Later, you should go upstairs and have a look. Bring him some food as well." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I lowered my head and nodded silently. I felt uneasy. I was too impatient at that time, and I did not even consider my strength when hitting him.

"Young Master cares about you very much. As the saying goes, quarrels between lovers are soon mended. If there are any problems, you must solve them quickly and don't put them off until the next day. As long as you take the initiative and talk to him nicely, he'll forgive you."

I was still a little worried. I got up and said, "Miss Woods, please give me some rice and ladle up some more stew. I'll bring the food to him." 1
