The Woman From Hell

Chapter 104

I was a little embarrassed and gently pulled back my foot. I coughed lightly and said, "It’s not that bad now."

Miss Woods had lied about my feet being swollen. Besides, he had never cared or looked closely at my feet before. To be honest, my feet had always been fleshy, so I felt a little uncomfortable about lying to him.

He did not say anything. He just turned around and went out the door. I thought he had seen through my lie and was mad, so I sighed. It seemed that pretending to be sick was not for me. I could not do it a s naturally as Cindy could.

However, he soon came back with a box of ice cubes. H e carefully wrapped the ice with a towel and placed it on my feet.

It turned out that he was getting me an ice pack. I felt a little guilty, so I got up from the bed and said, "I can d o it myself."

"Don't move." His voice was cold and he had a straight look on his face. He would not accept a refusal. After h e said that, he placed my feet in his arms to prevent m e from moving them around.

It was very awkward for me to have my feet held like

this, so I said, "I'm not used to it. I'll do it myself."

He did not say anything nor did he let go. The expression on his face remained cold.

From dinner to now, although he did not seem angry and even went on a walk with me, he was still giving me the cold shoulder. He never said more than five words at once.

I felt a bit depressed and said, "Theo, if you’re still angry, you can scold me. If it doesn't help, you can even beat me up. But don't be so cold to me. And don’t give me that look. You'll scare the baby in my stomach!”

He glanced at my stomach which still looked quite flat and said coldly, "Are you sure the baby can see me?"

I hastily replied, "Yes, of course. Even if not physically, the baby can sense it. Like the saying about the father and child being connected. If you're unhappy and ignore me, the baby will be sad."

"You should've done something that would make me happy and want to talk to you, then." His voice was still cold, but his tone sounded much lighter.

"I know. It was my fault, and I could’ve caused a lot of damage to the company. If you’re unhappy, you can lash out at me. Just don't leave me hanging."

His eyes moved slightly. He lowered his head close to my ear and whispered, "If you really want to apologize, show it with your actions. It's not sincere to just use your words.”

His voice was low and magnetic. He sounded very seductive and I could not help but shiver.

I looked up at him and saw the light in his eyes.

I...

Half an hour later, the cold expression on Theo's face faded away and he looked gentle. He even carried me into the bathroom, brushed my teeth for me, and took a shower with me. 1

When he was done, he put me back on the bed again.

"Is my apology sincere enough now? Can you unblock me now?" I was worried that I would not be able to get through to him if Tyler ever found me.

"That'll still depend," he replied. His brows were no longer furrowed and he spoke with a smile.

"I guess I can't compare to Miss Reed," I suddenly said those words without thinking.

"Wanda!" His voice was loud and sounded somewhat angry.

"Keep your voice down! It's not like I can't hear you. Don't scare my baby." I covered my stomach and pretended to be angry.

He did not say anything. After a long time, he finally reached out and took me into his arms. He whispered, "Enough with that same line. It's starting to get boring.

It was indeed a little lame of me to mention Cindy, but those words came out of my lips before I even knew it.

I lay in his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. I whispered, "Theo, stop trying to kick me out of the house and block me every time you get mad at me. You've always known that I'll only ever love you, forever and ever. So if I disappear one day, you must come and find me. If I leave you, I just may very well die..."

He hugged me tightly and said, "Really? Why do I feel like you always seem so happy every time you leave m e?"
