The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1982

Even though I knew he would not show any expression, I just wanted to tell him.

After hearing what I said, Theo's handsome face did not change. When he spoke, he said something I did not like hearing. His thin lips parted slightly. "If you're resigning from the company, doesn't that mean you should also move out from the villa?"

My heart trembled. Even after I knew they had shared the same bed, it still hurt to hear such words.

Nicky, who was standing next to him, looked delighted.

She squared her shoulders and looked at me with a smile on her face, which chilled my heart even more.

I finally mustered enough spirit after a while, and the corners of my mouth were raised into a smile. "I can leave the company, but I can't leave the villa."

My red lips pressed into a line. Ignoring Nicky beside him, I picked up my feet and approached him. I grabbed his hand and put it to my stomach as I looked at him. "I want our child to see more of what kind of a person their father is."

He seemed to be able to feel the small life in my stomach. Theo's expression changed slightly, and his eyes gradually softened as he looked at me as if he had returned to the past. "Our child?"

Noticing the change in his eyes, I asked him, "Did you remember something?"

"I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nicky interrupted us.

In just an instant, Theo regained his former indifference.

Nicky gave me a push, separating me from Theo. "Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Why would Theo have a child with you? Stop daydreaming. Theo, she’s just delusional. Ignore her. Let's go up. There's still a lot of work to do."

"Alright."

He responded very simply and without even looking at me again. He followed Nicky upstairs. The look Nicky gave me when they walked past me was an obvious boast.

I pretended not to have seen it and left the company.

The strong aroma of tea drifted from the quaint private room. I pulled out a chair opposite them and sat down.

Xander's eyes widened as if he had seen something he should not have. “Oh my God, Wanda. How are you pregnant? You look thinner than before. You look like your mind has been put through the wringer."

"Mentally and physically," I responded slowly and calmly took a sip of tea.

"What happened? Tell us quickly," Jerome urged.

"I still remember how none of you were there when I needed your help the most."

I was not a person who liked to hold grudges, but at that time, I was so disheartened. They were there every day when I was not looking for them but fell off the radar at the most critical moment.

These words made Jerome and Xander look at each other. They both looked at me like they had been wronged. “We were very busy with work. I'm sorry. We were wrong."

"Forget it. It's over anyway."
