The Woman From Hell



Time seemed to pass by quickly in the countryside. While I was not paying attention, three to four days passed. In these three to four days, I behaved extremely well. I figured Matthew must have let down his guard by now.

It was another day of me going to bed early and getting up early. When I woke up, I happened to bump into Matthew who was about to head out. I took a step forward and smiled, "Off to work?"

I overheard him talking on the phone at dinner last night and he mentioned trading. Presumably, he had gotten a job in town.

It was remote here, it was also his hometown. Most people would not ask Matthew about his affairs in Whaldorf City, so he could settle down here.

However, considering his personality, I did not believe that he would be willing to stay here for the rest of his life. I figured he would free himself of this place the moment he had the chance. This place was only temporary for him.

Matthew glanced at me, his tone a little more gentle. "Yes. Stay home and don't run around."

Now that we were here, he was quite assured leaving me alone at home. After all, I was not familiar with the place and could not run off anywhere. Still, he locked the door to prevent me from running off.

"About that, I haven't been out for a few days. If things go on like this, I think I'll suffer from depression." I let out a soft sigh and looked at him with a pleading look. I hoped he would give me a satisfying answer.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

His guard was up immediately after I said that. Even his warmth from before disappeared. "Do you want to go out?"

His questioning tone was aggressive and overwhelming.

Although I was panicking, I still wanted to fight for myself. "Yes, I want to go out for a walk."

"No." Matthew practically blurted out.

I looked at him and smiled lightly. "What are you worried about? I don't know anyone in this place, I also don't know the way here. Where can I run off to?"

Matthew took a few steps toward me, his expression stern. "Who knows if you'd ask where this place is? Also, who knows if you'll contact Theo?" He was still wary of me.

My heart sank. My expression

returned to that of indifference and I

snorted coldly. "So you plan to

imprison the for the rest of my Fine then. When I die somewhere someday, just deal with my body and everything will be great.”

Leaving those words, I went straight back to my room.

The truth was I just want to use this method to provoke Matthew. Who knows if it might work to some extent.

Matthew came to my door. "Anyhow, you're not allowed to go out. You can walk around in the yard."

He still insisted and refused to let

me out. I did not respond to him. Matthew turned around and left. could hear him locking the door. I hit the surface of the bed irritably, not knowing when the day would end.

The best I could do now was to wander around in the yard so that I can get some afternoon sun. I would close down on myself otherwise.

Suddenly, a lady's voice came from the door. "Is anyone home?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Matty's second aunt. I brought him something. You're the bride Matty brought back, yes? Quick, open the door. I'll bring it in for you."

Her voice was loud, probably

everyone in the village was this loud.

I looked around, not knowing how to explain my situation to her. I hesitated for a long time before said, Tm sorry, auntie but Matthew locked the door and he has already

gone out this morning. I can't open it now, why don't you come back tonight?"

"Did he really lock the place? You're at home, why is he still locking the door? I'll have to give him a good talking to tonight. Alright, I'll come back at night."

This was the so-called divine intervention, yes? I hoped this auntie would come to deliver the things tonight. My odds of winning should be better if an outsider were to bring it up.
