The Woman From Hell

Sunday, I went back to the villa first after sending Munchkin to school.

Looking at that beautiful invitation card, my thoughts were in disarray.

Should I go? Did I want to go?

Hesitation occupied my heart. Sitting in front of the dressing table, my hand that had been drawing my brows stopped.

Theo seemed to have known that I would be hesitant so he came back early today.

When he saw me sitting at the table, he walked toward me slowly and put his hands on my shoulders. "What's wrong?"

I looked up at him through the mirror and shook my head gently. "I don't know if I should go or not. Matthew is not the same as he used to be, I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, it'll be alright. I'll have Keith be your driver." Theo had already made the arrangements and now Keith was waiting downstairs. "If anything happens, he will notify me."

I touched my stomach as if the child would give me courage. In the end, I squared my shoulders and decided with great effort, "Alright, I guess I’d have to go if I want to find out what his purpose is."

"Yes. Let me help you draw your brows."

When I heard this, my interest was instantly piqued and I looked at him suspiciously. "You know how to?"

Theo was stunned for a moment. He stared at my eyebrows for a long time before grabbing the eyebrow pencil in my hand. “Yes, just follow the shape of your brows." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, I’ll trust you this once."

I looked up. I did not know how he was going to end up drawing it but I was looking forward to it.

"All done."

At Theo's voice, I turned around and looked into the mirror.

I was a little unfamiliar with his technique, but fortunately, I could still accept it. I could not see it clearly anymore after I let down my bangs, however. I blinked. "A marginal pass."

Theo was like a child receiving a compliment. He smiled, eyes forming crescents while glancing at me proudly.

I shook my head helplessly and sighed. "I'll handle the rest myself."

Seeing that he wanted to put on the rest of my make-up, I hurriedly stopped him.

I would not dare to give him free rein to my face considering his experience.

I finished putting on my make-up after a while.

Since I was pregnant, I only ever wore light makeup or went without makeup entirely. It was rare that I would put on a full face of makeup. I looked at myself in the mirror and frowned. "I seem to have gained a little weight. No, I need to apply more shadow."

"Where did you gain weight?" Theo stared at me with a confused tone.

"On my face. Don't you think I've gained a lot of weight?" I leaned in closer to the mirror and pointed to the fattened part with my finger, my expression filled with sadness.

Theo shook his head. "You’re not fat. You’re just seeing things, madam. Alright, you should go change clothes."

"Have you prepared them for me?"

"Of course."

There was a beautiful box on the bed. I went up and opened it. There was a light blue dress inside. I glanced at the size before looking at Theo. "Size says everything. You already knew I’d put on weight."

Theo looked at me seriously all of a sudden and said in a low voice. "In my eyes, you are beautiful no matter what. To be honest, you did gain a little weight, but I think you’re more charming like this."

My heart bloomed when he said that. I pursed my lips and smiled. "Alright, you’re quite the smooth talker. I'll go change my clothes."

I had to say, Theo had a good eye for clothes.

Putting on the dress, it covered the fleshy parts as well as it matched my skin. The overall look was very elegant, and I was very satisfied.

When I came out of the bathroom, Theo said, "Suddenly, I don't want you to go."

"Oh, enough you. I'm heading down. I’ve kept Keith waiting for a long time." I opened the door and went downstairs.
