The Woman From Hell

I remained in the villa still, but Matthew has been occupying my mind now.

I wondered how he was doing now.

I would always feel a different way toward him since he once saved me.

"Madam, I'll be heading over to my son's place and will be back later." Caroline was carrying a large bag and a smaller one. I could tell at a glance that she treated Jason well.

I nodded at her. "Okay, I'll go grocery shopping tonight then. You can just come back quick."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Apologies for the trouble, madam."

"It's fine. I'm getting some exercise too."

After seeing Caroline off, I was the only one left in the villa. Looking at this large and empty house, my heart was also empty. It was definitely livelier with other people.

My thoughts drifted and I suddenly thought of Drover. He must have been partly responsible for Theo's success this time. It seemed like he would not be having any issues with Theo. As I had said, he was a decent gentleman.

I thought of visiting his students at Susan's apartment and set off.

I arrived at the apartment and saw that there were two more extra pots of green plants in front of the door, making things look particularly lively. The apartment was being well-taken care of by his students.

However, no one seemed to be in now. I was just about to leave and turned around when I bumped into Marius. He was carrying a lot of bags filled with snacks and some daily necessities.

Seeing me, a smile lighted his face and he trotted towards me. "Sis Wan, why are you here?"

"I had the sudden thought of coming here to have a look, but no one's in. I was just about to leave. You're..." I looked at him from top to bottom, my tone doubtful.

Marius smiled and held up the bags with both hands. "I occasionally help Drover bring some things over. Since we're already here, why don't we go in and have a seat."

He stepped forward and opened the door before I could respond and beckoned me into the house.

There were a lot of flowers in the yard. I could tell that they were really taking care of the place. Every pot was robust and I could smell the occasional fragrance of flowers. It was refreshing.

Upon entering the living room, one could see that the place was neat and tidy. It looked very comfy.

"The students kept this place well."

Susan could also be at ease this way.

Marius invited me to take a seat and

then poured me a glass of water "Drover and I would come over from time to

time to help clean up the

place. Don't worry, we'll be responsible for the apartment."

I took a sip of water, a small smile gracing my lips. "That's good."

He glanced at my stomach. His eyes seemed to flash with a sense of

strangeness. He asked before I

could even say anything. "I didn'et

expect your stomach to be so big now. You probably still have a few months left to go, yeah?"

For some reason, his tone sounded a little sentimental, but I did not think much about it. I just nodded. "Yeah It's been more than six months and I've been at home for a long time. I'm going to start to grow mold if I didn't come out for a walk.

I touched my belly, my smile calm.

Marius lowered his head, his drooping eyes looked a little desolate. I looked at him with some puzzlement. "What's wrong?"

"No, I was just thinking that time passes by so fast. You and President Grant are doing well, I suppose?"

"We're doing pretty good."

"I saw the news that President Grant beat Matthew. Now that he has gained both fame and fortune, I have to congratulate you."

I smiled slightly. "I just wonder how Matthew is doing now..."

Marius swept his eyes toward me as if having discerned my concern for Matthew. "Sis Wan, you seem to have a different treatment toward Matthew." "He saved me once."
