The Woman From Hell

Chapter 210

I froze, touching my somewhat bulging stomach as I stood there without moving.

"Go on and eat it. It’ll get soggy if you leave it out for a long time." He urged. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I had no choice but to go to the table. I picked it up and took a few bites of it. It did taste better because he was the one who made it, but I had eaten too much just now and was stuffed. Hence, I could not finish it.

I could not help but look up at the sofa. Theo was still buried in his book, his handsome and well- defined profile looking soft. He seemed to gleam under the sunlight.

There were many sides to him. Outside, he was always cool and cocky, exuding an irresistible charm. At home, he would become gentle after unloading everything.

No matter which side of him, he was always as dazzling and made it hard for people to take their eyes off him.

"I know I'm handsome, but don’t get sappy when it’s time to eat dinner. Your peanut butter and jelly is getting cold." He knocked on the table as he smiled with his eyes.

I was startled and came back to my senses. I panicked and asked, "When did you get here?"

He was sitting on the sofa by the window earlier, reading a book. 'When did he come over? I didn't even notice it.'

"When you were not eating and busy staring at me. Have you just realized how handsome I a,?" He raised his attractive eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. 1

'What a... narcissistic man. Who compliments themselves like that?'

I blushed and lowered my head. I looked at the toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I only had a few bites off before embarrassingly saying, "It's too much.

I had my fill just now. I don't think I can finish this."

I felt bad and did not dare to look up. 'Will he think that I don't like it because I didn't finish the sandwich that he specially made for me?'

I immediately continued, "It's because Miss Woods made me drink a big bowl of soup just now. If I eat like this all the time, I'm going to turn into a pig soon."

At the end of my sentence, I pouted and was a little dissatisfied. Recently, he always made Miss Woods make me eat all sorts of food and it really felt like he was fattening me up like a pig.

"It's true. You are turning into a little fat pig." He looked at my face and chuckled softly. Then, he reached over and took the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Really? Is my face getting so plump already?" The look in his eyes made me terrified. Recently, all I had been doing was eat, sleep, wake up, and eat again. I had not looked at myself in the mirror but I vaguely felt that I was getting curvier.

"It's fine. You're pregnant. It's normal to gain a little weight." He brought the peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the kitchen while saying in a lighthearted manner.

'What exactly do I look like now?!' I was getting desperate! It seemed that I had to really pay attention and control my diet in the future. I had to eat less and exercise more. I did not want to grow into a round ball because of my pregnancy.

When he saw that I was pulling my hair, he came over and patted me on the shoulder. "You’re not fat. Don’t worry. When the rain stops, I'll go out for a walk with you. It's best to take a slow stroll for an hour or more every day during the second trimester as this can help your body recover."

I froze. 'When did he become an expert?' He actually spoke like an expert.

When he noticed that I was confused, he waved the book in his hand. "I'm not making it up. I read it from this book."

It was 'The Pregnancy Encyclopedia'. It turned out that this was the book he was reading seriously on the sofa just now. I had thought it was for work.

When he saw how surprised I looked, he was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly. "From now on, I'll take some time out to walk with you every day."

"I never thought you'd read this kind of book." I was smiling with my eyes. I could not believe it because the men in the Grant family had always been male chauvinists. In their opinion, these were trivial things that were reserved for the nannies and women. They had nothing to do with them.

His face slightly turned red. "Pregnancy takes a long time and I didn't know what to do. Mason recommended these books to me, and since I had nothing to do at home, I read them to pass time."

It was rare for him to get a little embarrassed. It was a s if I had found out about his secret.

I understood that this was his male chauvinist thinking bugging him, so I just laughed. "That's good. Maybe I'll read it sometime to learn something too."

He nodded and said, "It's not raining anymore. I'm going to go upstairs to put on thicker clothes and then we can go for a walk outside."

"It’s been raining today. Can we do it another day?" I was too lazy to move and was extremely tired after my stroll just now.
