The Woman From Hell

Chapter 224

After I was done talking, I kept my eyes glued to him, waiting for him to answer me.

I knew I had gone too far, but he wanted me to tell him what was deep inside my heart. These were all the nastiest and honest thoughts hidden in my heart.

He stood on the spot with his deep eyes staring at me. The corner of his lips curled upward into a perfect curve. "I didn't expect you to be this bossy when you're jealous.”

I ignored his mockery and continued, "Whenever you see her, we'll be separated for half a month. If you see her more than five times, then we’ll divorce. Can you agree to that?"

His handsome face, which was pouting but still with a smile, turned cold all of a sudden. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he spoke coldly, "Is divorce such a n easy thing for you?"

I lowered my head and kept quiet. It was hard for me. However, if it were because of Cindy, then it would be easy.

He let out a sigh and pulled me into the car. We did not say anything along the way. The atmosphere was tense.

Once we reached home, the phone's ringtone broke the silence all of a sudden.

I knew that it was Cindy calling him without even thinking twice about it. I sat in the car and remained motionless without even looking at him.

He rejected the call and put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he opened the door to the passenger and pulled on my arm, wanting me to get down. He looked at me gently and spoke softly, "I told you that I have nothing to do with her. There was never anything going on between us and it’ll be the same in the future too.”

I turned to look at him and said, "Theo Grant, I’m not dumb or stupid."

He had been taking care of Cindy attentively, yet he was telling me that there was nothing between them. How was I supposed to believe that?

"Aren’t you a silly little dummy!” His tone was slightly helpless but he still said, "Since we've received our marriage certificate, we’ll be husband and wife forever. You have to trust me, and I’ll be responsible for taking care of you."

He would be responsible to me, which meant that he could also be responsible to other women. I did not say that out loud, though. I lifted my head and looked a t him. "Is it because of the child?"

"Huh?" He seemed like he had no idea what I was talking about and looked at me in confusion.

"You said that you're going to be responsible for taking care of me. Is it because of the child?” I explained to him.

"Yes, you and the baby are both my responsibilities. And it's a lifetime commitment. So let’s spend the rest of our lives happily together as a family of three in the future, alright?" he looked at me and answered sincerely.

Family of three? There was nothing wrong with what h e said but I had no idea why I was feeling depressed. If the child did not exist, he probably would not take responsibility for me!

He stood outside the car for some time. When he saw me not moving, he reached out and carried me in his arms before walking toward the room.

Back in the bedroom, he lay me down on the bed, landed a gentle kiss on my forehead, and spoke softly, "Get some sleep. I'm going out to take care of some business in the company. I'll be right back."

I sat up on the bed and said, "Let me accompany you."

He looked at me and smiled. "Don't worry. There's something I have to do. I won't have time to meet any irrelevant people. You're tired, just rest at home. I'll bring back some good food for you."

I knew full well that I was going too far. Why could I not just go with the flow? There was no way I could stop them from seeing each other. Hence, why should I bother myself with something like this?

He looked at me for a while. At last, he sighed softly, turned around, and left.

After Theo left, I sat on the bed staring into space. I kind of hated what I was feeling right now, but I could not control my emotions. The only thing that I could d o was follow what Jerome told me and stop thinking about unhappy things.

The following days, to stop myself from being unhappy, I would spend my time in the villa without stepping foot outside.

What the eye did not see, the heart would not grieve over. I spent my days living in peace. Theo would get off work on time every day and accompany me to take a walk after dinner. After I went to sleep at night, he would work overtime in the study.

Even though he was taking care of me considerately and kept me company by staying in the villa the whole day, I would always get bent out of shape all of a sudden. There was always an unknown fire burning inside me, and I had no place to release my anger. Sometimes, I would yell at him when I was furious.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
