The Woman From Hell

I held my forchead. I had completely forgotten about Cecilia Fortunately, this woman still remembered t

o look for me after a night of fun.

Noticing that I did not say anything, Cecilia continued, “It is okay if the overbearing CEO persona did no

t suit your taste. When you have recovered, I will get a cooler guy for you.”

*Thank you. You do not get me involved i n this kind of thing in the future. I met Theo and Cindy at the

nightclub last night.” I did not want to talk to her about this anymore, so I changed the topic.

F*ck, you caught them cheating red handed again? It must be an exciting scene. Tell me

about it.” Cecilia‘s tone instantly became excited.

“Do you think I have that right?” I held the phone with one hand and got up to pull open the curtains. Th

e sun is high in the sky outside. It was another humid, sunny day.

“‘That is true. You cannot win against that phony b*tch. Forget it, let‘s not talk about her lest we get ups

et. When do you plan to leave” Cecilia was always annoyed with Theo Grant and Cindy. She would get

angry every time they were mentioned.

Just by hearing Cecelia‘s question, I sensed a headache surfacing. I had not seen the divorce papers e

ver since Theo had taken them. He was unwilling to go through the divorce procedures. Besides that,

matters of the company had not been resolved yet.

“It will probably take a while. I have not settled the matters at hand yet.” I felt a little helpless.

It is fine. I will slowly sell off the milk tea shop. For

the next few days, I will take some time off to go to Rosella City to have a look. Cecilia‘s tone was relax

ed and nonchalant.

I felt a little sad and started choking up.” You have finally managed to make the milk tea shop business

prosper. And now because of me, you have to sell it off. Are

ou sure you want to do that?”

She had given up too much for me.

“Didn‘t I open the shop for you? Besides, I can always start afresh. There is nothing wrong about it.”

Speaking of that, Cecilia suddenly became enthusiastic

and said, “Likewise for you, you have made Nectarine Entertainment a success too. Have you thought

about what you will do in the future?”

I was stunned for a while. I had not thought about it. By the time I settled things here, my belly would ha

ve growni. big already

I am quite tired after working hard in the past years. Let‘s take a break for a while first.”

That is true. I will take care of you then,” Cecilia said generously.

I felt warmth in my heart and smiled. According to the conditions given

by Theo, after the divorce, I will be a rich lady! When you find someone you like, I will surely throw you

a grand wedding and not embarrass you.”

“I do not want to get married. I want to look after you forever.”

“No, I am still counting on you to set married and have children. When the time Cone, they will grow up

with my children and accompany each other like we do now.”

After talking and laughing for a while, I hung up and stood by the window, looking out at the scenery.

I would need to plan for my future soon

I felt hungry, sol gol ready to go downstairs and find something to eat.

To my surprise, there was a tall, handsome man in the kitchen, busy cooking at the stove. I stood by th Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

e stairs and did not move. I just watched him quietly.

He was probably making some soup, as he was stirring the pot slowly. He scooped a little bit of

soup with a spoon, tasted it, and added a spoonful of salt.

This was a scene that I had imagined countless times before,

I never thought I would see this happen before my eyes.

I was confused. I could not tell if it was a dream or a reality.

“Why are you daydreaming over there? Come and have some soup.” Theo‘s voice spoke up.

I came to my senses just then. Theo had already brought the soup to the table and was looking at me.

His eyes were cold, but not the usual coldness.

“Oh.” I quickly sat down.

Theo scooped out a small bowl of soup and passed it to me. “I heard that this soup is good for your inju

ries.”

I lowered my head and saw that it was the black mullet soup. I could not help but frown. I never liked fis

h, especially mullets. I thought it had an especially fishy smell

“Drink it!” Theo urged.
