The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1568

"New business? Didn’t Astral Cosmetics just start not long ago? Have you found a new business venture?"

I sat beside the study desk without looking at Theo’s laptop screen.

I knew Theo would never hide the company’s matters from me. He would tell me if he wanted to, and he would have his reason if he chose not to tell me now. There was no need for me to find out about it.

Theo reached out, gently swept his finger across the tip of my nose, and said, "Don’t worry. It's not a big deal. Take a good rest and keep Munchkin company. I'll tell you about it once I’ve finished this.”

I could not bear to disturb him anymore when I saw the weariness in his eyes, so I

said, "Don’t stay up too late. Rest earlier."

Theo nodded again without saying anything.

I spent the rest of the night watching science and education channels with Munchkin. Perhaps it was because I was pregnant, my eyelids started getting heavy after watching it for two minutes. I did not know when I fell asleep.

I only knew that Munchkin was gently patting me when I woke up later.

I opened my eyes. I was covered with a blanket.

"Mommy, the show is over. Let's go back to our room and rest," said Munchkin.

I came back to my senses. Feeling sorry, I replied, "I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”

It’s okay, Mommy. Daddy told me that you need more sleep now. We were watching a science and educational show just now. It's normal for you to fall asleep. But Mommy, don’t fall asleep right away after eating dinner. I'm afraid that you'll gain weight and it'll be a burden for your body."

What this little kid said made me feel complicated. He was caring for me, but it seemed like he was mocking me for being lazy at the same time. I did not even know if I should be moved by his words or be mad at him.

"Are you going to Whaldorf City again today?" I asked.

Theo nodded and answered, "Yes. I'll try to come back home before dinner. If I can’t make it for dinner, go ahead and eat dinner with Munchkin first."

I rose to my feet and put the blanket aside." Don’t worry. Just go. Munchkin and I will be waiting for you to come home.”

I was not working for any company. I had no idea what new business venture Theo was busy with. It seemed like there was nothing I could do to help Theo except to take good care of myself.

Theo walked to the bedside and gave me a peck on the lips with his hands gently stroking my belly. "The three of you, wait for me to come back."

After that, he grabbed his coat and left for work. I heard him saying goodbye to Munchkin in the room. Then, there was the sound of the door closing.

I could not help but feel sorry for him. It was too tiring for him to come back and forth for me and Munchkin.
