The Woman From Hell

Chapter 190

Tyler did not say a word on the way back. I enjoyed the silence and leaned back on the seat to pretend to take a nap.

We quickly arrived and I opened the door car to get out. Tyler placed one hand on the steering wheel and looked at me with a cheeky smile. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Nope.” I got out of the car with a sullen expression. Why would I invite him to my house when I could not wait to get away from him?

As though he did not hear me, he got out of the car and followed me. "I don’t care if you're willing to acknowledge it or not but I'm your brother. Our names were once in the same household register and that's a n undeniable fact. As your one and only family member in the world, it's only right for me to go in and meet your husband."

I darted a glance at him and said, "That doesn't make u s a family. Tyler, you’re the one who has no family members, not me. You can’t impose your own experiences on me, and don't define me using your pessimistic views."

I understood the loneliness and resentment inside of him. From the day his father abandoned him and left

him to our family, he had been filled with resentment.

I was different from him. Although I was also abandoned, my heart was filled with love and sunshine.

I looked at him and continued, "I used to have my Mom’s love in the past, but now I have my husband, child, Cecilia, and my friends. So we’re destined to be different. You’re like an abyss that no one dares to come close to. You will never walk out of the darkness."

Perhaps it was because I sounded too harsh, he suddenly grabbed my hand with a dark and gloomy expression. "Do you really think so? Stop being so childish. We're just the same. We're destined to be unloved. Neither of us is better than another."

I was slightly stunned but did not say a word.

There was a mocking smile on his face as he said coldly, "I admit that Mom used to love you very much, but you're left with nothing now. Theo doesn’t love you, so even if this child is born, things will not be as perfect as you expect them to be.

"As for Cecilia, she'll get married one day and have a family of her own and leave you. I don't think I need to talk about those so-called friends of yours.

"So... you're destined to end up like me, a lonely person. I don’t understand why you refuse to listen to me and stay with me? We'll go and live in the countryside. I'll give you everything you want. You just need to stay by my side for the rest of your life."

He was so agitated that he clenched my wrists hard to the point where they turned slightly pale. I tried to pull back but I was not as strong as him.

I looked at him. "Tyler, you're obsessed. It's all in the past now. Don't let this shadow take root in your heart. What you need to do now is to learn to start accepting new people and things instead of staying in the past and waste your time on me. Do you understand?”

"No one but you." He let out a wry smile and showed a pained look in his eyes.

I understood his obsession, loneliness, and darkness. He had mistaken me for his only salvation. He thought I would be like Mom, that I would not abandon him or drive him away no matter what.

This was the greatest pain in the heart of an abandoned person. I had once experienced this pain but was later healed by Mom. Tyler, however, continued to live in such torment. He did not feel a

sense of belonging. He needed true love and care. It was not me he needed.

Behind me, the main door suddenly opened. I subconsciously looked back. Theo stood behind the door without a single expression on his face as he stared coldly at us.

I took a step back and struggled to pull my hand away, instinctively trying to stay away from Tyler.

I knew there was no need to do this because Theo would not care at all, but I still did it out of habit. Many of the things I did were done out of instinct.

Ignoring Theo, Tyler continued to put on a pained expression and stared at me with a grim expression.

I looked at him and said, "If you still miss Mom, then she's in the graveyard. You can go visit her. Maybe that'll help."

He was stunned at the mention of Mom. A rare look of sadness and forlorn was shown on his face.

I sighed. "Tyler, we’re adults now. You need to stop living in the past. Everything will pass. You have a whole life ahead of you. Work hard and move forward. Only then will you see sunshine and have hope in life."
