The Woman From Hell



There was a feeling of familiarity from returning to the familiar villa.

Theo helped me onto the sofa in the living room. The moment Caroline heard that I was back, she ran out of the kitchen. "Madam, you're finally back. Are you alright? How's the child?"

Seeing her nervous expression, I felt warm on the inside. I looked at her with a smile. "I'm fine, Caroline. The child is fine too."

I rubbed my big belly. Caroline noted that I was in good spirits and gradually felt relieved. "That's good. I'll go buy some groceries and prepare something that'll help replenish your body tonight. You look too think recently, so does the sir."

After she said that, Caroline left.

My eyes turned toward Theo. His pointed chin was obvious. He had really lost a lot of weight. I took his hand and put it on my stomach. "We're back. Your illness should get better soon."

"My illness will be cured soon as long as you're back." Theo hugged me. His voice was still nasally, and it was distressing.

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Munchkin has been anxious to see you, so I asked Keith to pick him up."

"Alright, I'll feel at ease seeing Munchkin earlier too."

The moment I said that, Munchkin's voice drifted in from outside the door. "Mommy."

I followed the voice and saw Munchkin trotting in from the outside. He threw himself into my arms but was careful to not be too forceful. "Mommy, you're finally back."

I patted his head and looked at Theo. He just told Munchkin that I had gone traveling with some friends, but he seemed to sense that something had happened. He hugged me and burst into tears.

I took out a few tissues and wiped away the tears on his face with a smile on the corners of my lips. "Why are you crying? I just went for a stroll outside with my friends. I had fun."

The little guy snuggled up next to me. He rubbed his head against my shoulder and stopped crying. "Really? What fun things did you see, Mommy?"

"Of course. Although I was in a

remote mountain village, the folk

customs were unpretentious and there were many activities. For example, I participated in their local temple fair. It was very lively, and there were many snacks that children like to eat all over the

streets."

I could never forget Anmead Temple Fair, and I could never forget Aunt Nessa's concern for me. I turned to Theo. "If there's a chance, we can go there again."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I told Theo a lot about how Aunt Nessa took care of me while we were on the way back. He was very grateful and promised to send some things to her home to express his gratitude.

"Yes. After some time has passed and the project is more or less on its way, and when you have given birth, we can go traveling."

Munchkin immediately beamed with joy. "That's great." He clapped his hands.

Only then did I realize that Munchkin was really sensible despite being just a child. Cecilia, Munchkin was smart and sensible. You can rest in peace up there. I will bring him to go meet his father when he grows up.

I lowered my gaze and looked at Munchkin with love in my eyes. "Caroline said she'll make delicious food tonight so we will have something to enjoy again. Theo, this incident troubled a lot of people. Let's invite them for dinner Keith, you should stay too."

"Yes, madam."

Theo nodded. "Alright, I'll ask them to come together."

"Okay."

It would only be satisfying if everyone was having fun together. If only Jerome, Xander, and Susan were still there. I was suddenly missing them...
