The Woman From Hell

Chapter 229

After lunch, I was planning to send Jerome to the hotel and go back home.

However, this fellow would not let us go. He wanted us to accompany him to the club after our meal.

"Party? Can’t you see that Wanda’s pregnant? Can she go to such places? How is she going to go wild with you?" Cecilia spoke angrily.

"Who says that pregnant women can't go wild? She's been staying at home too often and that's why she's imagining things and getting ill. If we can’t go to the club, then we can go to a karaoke joint. Anyway, you can still drink with me!"

"I'm pregnant too. I can't drink," Cecilia said out loud without thinking. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Oh sh*t." Jerome's jaw dropped. "You're pregnant? Who's your husband?"

It was only then did Cecilia realize she had said something wrong. Her face reddened and she refused t o speak.

"Do you really believe her? I just prefer quiet places and don't want to go somewhere noisy," I hurriedly said. When speaking about getting pregnant while still single, women would naturally feel embarrassed.

Although Cecilia did not say anything, I knew full well that she had traditional values at heart.

Cecilia then let out a sigh of relief. She pretended to be calm and said, "You're still as dumb as you used to be after so many years of not seeing you. You believe in everything I say.”

"That means I trust you, alright? You only talk nonsense the whole day. I don’t even know what's true and what's false." Jerome rolled his eyes at her.

Then, Jerome dragged both of us with him and said," Since we can't go to the club or go karaoke, let's just go to the hotel room and chit-chat."

I took my phone out to look at the time. I realized that my phone had run out of battery and it was turned off.

Cecilia looked at Jerome from head to toe with her eyes full of contempt. "You're not letting us go just because you're still timid and afraid like the old days, right?”

I recalled that when we were still in university, the three of us would often go on trips. When we were staying in our hotel rooms at night, Jerome had his own room but would keep staying in our room, refusing to leave.

Finally, we could not stand it any longer and asked him to leave. It was then he told us that he was afraid t o sleep alone. We had no choice, so at last, the three of us slept in a room with a king-sized bed.

Cecilia had been mocking him after that incident. She would mention it to Jerome to threaten him every time.

"That was so many years ago and you still remember i t." Even after so many years, Jerome could not help but blush when she brought this up again. "I've been staying alone in a foreign country all these years! It's because Wanda has been bottling up all her feelings. If she doesn’t talk it out, she'll suffocate sooner or later."

Once Jerome said so, Cecilia did not say anything more. She turned her head and looked at me. "Why don't we go up and have a chat?"

"Sure. It's not like we've never slept together before." I nodded my head and agreed. I was the first to get out o f the car and walked toward the hotel. After all, we did not see Jerome as a man.

Just like what Jerome said, I had been bottling up my feelings. I had to let them out.

"Right. Three of us have slept together before. There's nothing to be shy about." Jerome went along with my words.

Cecilia shrugged her shoulders. She did not say anything and followed us.

Jerome's room was on the 38th floor. I asked him in the elevator, "Are you planning to stay abroad to develop your career?"

"No."

Jerome was gazing far away through the clear walls of the elevator. "My favorite people and the people I care about are here. I've finished my studies, so I'm planning to go back to Whaldorf City to open a psychology clinic there. Nowadays, there are more and more people getting mentally ill. Psychology clinics are still new to the market, so it's a good chance."

"Does that mean you'll be staying here?" Jerome was a citizen of Whaldorf City. It was a good idea to develop his career here.

"No. The main reason I came back this time is to see you. I haven't settled the affairs there. I'll have to go back again."

Cecilia was leaning against the elevator listlessly and said, "Why don't you open a clinic in Salt City? It'll be convenient for me to look for you if anything happens."

"So you can look for me when you suffer from psychological problems?" Jerome turned his head around and looked at Cecilia.

"Screw you, are you cursing me? You're the one who has mental problems. Your whole family has mental problems." Cecilia was acting like a shrew due to her rage. Jerome was shocked and stuck

his tongue out. H e dared not to say anything more.

I was the one who booked the room. Although it was not as luxurious as the suite, it was not cheap either.

Hence, the decorations were pretty nice.

After entering the room, Jerome shrugged his hands." This is how a hotel is. The more luxurious the room is, the more empty it feels. There’s only one feeling when you’re staying here alone- depressed."
