The Woman From Hell



The sky outside was very blue. I was wandering in the yard. I had no idea what Matthew was thinking now. I should have been shaken by what he said to me after how his aunt had tried persuading him yesterday, but I put on a calm appearance this morning with the thought of provoking him. Could it be that he was still testing me?

It seemed that I would still have to settle down.

At this moment, a sound came from the door.

Matthew could not have come back at this time. Could it be a thief?

I picked up a stick next to me and aimed it at the door as I walked toward it with small steps. Except for the sound of the door opening, the person outside the door did not speak.

If it was Matthew, why was there not the sound of keys jingling?

While I was pondering this, the door opened.

Just as I was about to swing the stick down, I heard a familiar voice. "Don't, don't! It's Aunt Nessa."

I took a closer look, and it was really her.

The weight in my heart eased, and I put the stick back in place. "Aunt Nessa, why are you here?"

"Matthew said he locked the door before he went out because you were afraid. Looks like he was telling the truth. He came to my place before going to work today. He told me to accompany you and take you out for walks," said Aunt Nessa as she came forward to help me.

Sure enough, whatever I did had worked.

This was my first time going out the main door ever since getting here.

Although we were living in a remote place, we reached the town after walking a few hundred meters. There were two rows of shops along the side of the road where one could get everything. The people here looked unpretentious. It was a good place.

As we walked, Aunt Nessa

introduced to me, "This place isn't big. As long as we walk around more, people will basically get to know us. Look, this is Mrs. Zee who sells fruit, and that's Mr. Lucas who's the butcher. He shares the same family name as you. They're all good people, and their prices are cheap."

Living in such a small town was actually brilliant. The place was not big, and there were not many people. Hence, there were lesser schemings.

I thought it would be wonderful if I could live in a small town with Theo in the future.

Aunt Nessa went forth to buy some things, and I followed behind her.

I looked around the store and saw 'Anmead Variety Grains' written at the top of the store.

Anmead... Could that be the name of this place?

I did not dare confirm it, so I followed Aunt Nessa lead and walked around. 'Anmead Specialty Products' was written on the signboard of another mart. Now I had confirmation that this place was called Anmead.

Although the names were the same, I still had to find out which municipality it belonged to.

It was my first day out, and I did not dare behave too obviously lest Matthew got onto me after learning about the situation from Aunt Nessa.

I also bought a lot of ingredients with Aunt Nessa before returning home. She helped me clean them up and put them in the refrigerator. Chapter 2076 2

"Yes, I'll tell him that," I echoed her words.

"By the way, our village will be having a temple fair in a few days. Things will get very lively then. You can go and have a look around with Matthew." A temple fair?

I felt a little refreshed. "What's a temple fair?"

"That's right, you people in the city probably don't have this sort of event. It's a traditional event here. We hold a grand temple fair every

year during the gods' birthday het

There be a lot of stalls and traditional dances and the like. It's particularly grand."
