The Woman From Hell

Chapter 191



Chapter 191

Take myself, for example. Although I missed living in the old house with Mom, I had not gone back because I understood that Mom was not at home and she was n o longer around. I must move on and continue with m y life.

I did not look at Tyler anymore after saying those words and turned around to enter the villa.

Theo stepped aside to let me in, then closed the door.

Miss Woods heard the movement and rushed out. She was unable to stop herself from wiping her tears when she saw me. "You're finally back. You didn't suffer a lot when you were out there, did you? Thank goodness you’re all back. This finally looks like a home again."

Perhaps there had been no one at home to talk to her, which was why Miss Woods was constantly chattering about. I sat in the living room and answered her from time to time, whereas Theo sat on the other side of the couch. He neither said a word nor left. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.

After a very long time, Miss Woods patted her head." Gosh, I was so excited that I forgot that it's noon now. I'll go fix you something real quick." "I've eaten, Miss Woods. I'm going upstairs to take a

rest." I had woken up very early in the morning and was easily tired in summer, hence all I wanted to do at the moment was go upstairs to take a nap.

"Alright then. Go and have a rest. I’ll make the food so you can come down and have it when you’re hungry." Miss Woods entered the kitchen cheerfully.

I did not talk to Theo and got up to go upstairs.

He got up as well and followed me into the room.

At first, I thought he was following me because he wanted to question me or lose his temper at me. However, he did not do anything and merely put his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the door frame, looking at me.

After half a month of not seeing him, I noticed he had become thinner and haggard. His entire body looked sickly and weak. I wanted to ask how he was feeling but I swallowed my words when they reached my lips.

Rather than continue being speechless, I got into bed straight away and lay down to sleep.

While in a daze, I felt myself being pulled into a firm yet gentle embrace. I struggled, only to be held tighter. Hence, I stopped moving and continued to sleep.

Thankfully, he did not do anything else and merely held me tight. Soon, I heard the sound of faint breathing beside my ear.

I did not feel sleepy anymore. I felt uncomfortable seeing how weak he was.

I peered up at him. Apart from his thinner face, I could see stubble on his chin, which made him look even more haggard than he already was. However, his features appeared even more distinct now.

As though he was uncomfortable, he was frowning even when he slept.

I raised my hand to smooth out the folds.

He opened his eyes suddenly and our eyes met. I scratched my head awkwardly, my cheeks were burning.

He was comparatively calm as he reached out to tuck the loose strands of hair on my face behind my ear. He looked fixedly at me and asked, "Can't sleep?"

As he had just woken up, his eyes looked misty and his voice was hoarse but attractive. It made him sound really sexy.

I was quite embarrassed being stared at, so I cleared m y throat and turned around with my back facing him.

He did not say a word and merely turned me back around. He made me lay flat on the bed and stroked m y belly gently.

Unsure whether it was the baby’s reaction or something, just as his broad hands touched my belly, the baby inside suddenly moved. A tiny bump was seen protruding from my belly from the outside.

Theo felt it too and cried out in surprise, "book, the baby's moving.”

I rolled my eyes at him. "It's nearly six months now. It's normal for the baby to move. What’s so surprising about that?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Does your belly hurt, then?” He propped his head up with his hand, looking at my belly with intrigue and a n unbelievable look on his face.

I was speechless. Sometimes, men’s IQ could get so low it was terrifying.

He grew excited and leaned over my belly, saying," Little one, stop moving so your mother won’t feel uncomfortable. Be a good child. I'll buy you toys when you come out."

Somewhat exasperated by his childish behavior, I pushed his head away. "Theo, I think you need to buy some books to learn about pregnancy.”

"Indeed, it's time for me to learn,” he responded seriously.

I did not bother to entertain him and propped myself u p to get out of bed.

He reached out to pull me into his arms. "It's still early. Lay down for a bit more."

I reached out to take his hand away when my gaze fell on his arm. There were several deep scars on it and they seemed quite red. They were still recovering and looked like huge centipedes. They were rather ghastly to look at.
