The Woman From Hell

Matthew's eyes remained on my stomach. It did not even shift for one second.

Taking a step back again, I covered my stomach. “You better not get any twisted ideas!"

Matthew looked away the moment I said that. There was an angelic smile on his face. "I’m not having any ideas. I just imagined the future. I don't mind raising the child with you."

His laughter and words flustered me and I frowned. I felt vaguely uneasy. "Theo and I are already married. It's a done deal, it's a foregone conclusion."

"You can get married and then get divorced. Didn't you think about it once before?" Matthew asked back, his voice stressing the question.

I turned my face away, my voice holding no trace of emotion. "No, I won't divorce Theo. Just give up."

After saying this, I did not want to continue getting entangled with Matthew anymore. So, I turned around and was about to leave when he reached out and stopped me. "Is there anything else?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Matthew was not angry at my brusqueness. The smile still remained on his handsome face. He looked polite like sunshine. When he saw me stop, he withdrew his hand. "We’ll all be neighbors in the future. It’s inevitable that we’ll be seeing each other around this neighborhood. If I wander up to your door then, be sure to invite me in or I'm afraid you will regret it."

What did he mean by that?

I could hear a bit of a threat but I did not understand what he meant.

I turned around without responding to his words and then walked away from him before heading back to the car to go back to the villa.

"Madam, that man looks to still be at the back."

The driver's notification made me turn around and have a look. Matthew was still at the back. He looked like he was watching the car leave.

I was feeling even more uneasy. When I got home, I only had a small dinner before I went back to my room. My mind was still hung up on it.

The sound of the door opening reached my ears. Theo had returned.

I turned around. He was walking towards me. He put his hands on my shoulders and said in a soft voice, "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood? I heard from Catherine that you didn’t eat much at dinner."

I had been thinking if I should tell Theo about my meeting Matthew before he came back. I still had not come up with an answer at first but now that Theo was back, I wanted to tell him about it.

"Theo, Matthew appeared again. He bought Jerome and Xander's villa. He’s now living in Regal Villa just like us," I informed Theo solemnly.

His expression sank at first but then he looked up at me and asked, "Have you two met?"

I did not try to hide it and nodded. "Yes. I passed by there when I was coming back just now. I saw a figure inside. So, I got out of the car and looked in out of curiosity. I didn't expect it to be him."

Thinking about it now, it still felt a little weird.

"Are you all right then?" Theo looked me up and down, for fear that something was missing.

I waved my hand and shook my head in response. "It’s nothing, I'm fine. But his appearance scared me a little. He came back for us, Theo."

Theo brushed my messy hair gently and reassured me. "I know what he thinks about you, but don't worry, it'll be fine."

"But..."

"Don't think about it. I'll be here for everything. Don't worry, okay?"

He gave me a firm look and it calmed me at once. "Well then, I hope everything will be alright."

Theo patted my head with a doting smile gracing his mouth...
