The Woman From Hell

Marius was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He then whispered, "I didn't expect you two to have such a relationship."

I sighed. My thoughts were fluctuating and I would keep feeling regretful when I recalled the past.

"We've known each other for a long time. I still remember how he was just like you at the time. He was very warm, but unfortunately..." I trailed off but I knew that Marius could understand what I was saying.

Seeing me in a daze, Marius grinned. "It's rare for you to praise me."

I did not register what he said when I heard it. I thought back to what I said before, only then did I smile lightly. "You're a very good person. Although you may seem cynical, you are in fact, dedicated to your feelings. One could tell from your feelings toward Wanya."

Marius obviously did not like me to bring Wanya up again. He waved his hand and collapsed back onto the sofa. "Let's not talk about her. It makes me upset."

"Why? Is she pestering you again?" I smiled meaningfully.

Wanya had brought people with her and appeared before me before, telling me to not get close to Marius. She has all but disappeared now, however. Dissatisfaction colored his handsome face as he said, "She was pestering me some time ago. I gave her a sum of money after that and told her not to appear before me again. Otherwise, I would no longer treat her courteously. She probably left Whaldorf City."

It was normal for a young and beautiful girl like Wanya to want to find a rich and handsome man. She was not serious enough, however, and would have to fail a few times before she finally learned.

"Alright, I won't stay here too long. I'll head back first." I stood up while supporting my waist. Marius wanted to stand up and help me, but I politely refused him.

He looked at me with slight loneliness. "You're not going to stay a little while more?"

"There's no more business for me here. I ought to go back and lie down instead." I covered my mouth and chuckled.

Little did I know that I had hurt Marius a little with this. He looked up at the time and his eyes suddenly lit up. "It's almost time. Why don't we go eat? It's been a long time since we've had a meal together."

I hesitated for a moment but after seeing Marius's expectant gaze, I could not bear to refuse him. I nodded. “Alright.”

"Let's stay in. We'll just eat here. I'll cook." Marius patted his chest.

I did not think I had ever seen him cook so I was skeptical. "Are you sure? I'm pregnant."

"Don't worry, Sis Wan. I guarantee it'll both smell and taste good."

"Okay, I'll trust you then."

Marius rushed into the kitchen excitedly. He was really familiar with the place. He really did come here often. He grabbed a few items from the refrigerator while I made my way in'll help you wash the veggies."

"Okay, but no using the knife."

I looked up at him and smiled. "So you do know that it's a bad omen for pregnant ladies to use knives."

"Isn't it common sense?" He laughed.

I did not reply to him anymore as I

concentrated on washing the vegetables. After I was done washing them, I asked, "Is there anything else I need to do?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Nothing for the time being. You can go out and wait for the food to be done."

I looked outside. The sky was getting darker. "Are they not coming back tonight?"

Marius replied to me while he chopped the vegetables. "They're busy with some scientific research recently and would usually be back late."

"I see."

I walked out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa, waiting.

It did not take long for me to catch the aroma of the vegetables. I

he aroma and noticed how

their colors were. "Not bad, Marius."

"Sis Wan, sit down and have a taste."
