The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2120



She looked at me angrily. The whip in her hand was swishing up and down as if she was showing it off to me. "It's been so long. Where did you go?!" I could not tell her that I met an acquaintance, so I shook my head. "I just couldn't recognize the route and made a few wrong turns. That's why I'm late."

"How stupid of you to even take the wrong route. Why didn't you ask someone?"

"I did, but I was too far away. I would've been late either way." I softened my voice to make it seem as though she had beaten me down. The old hag should end her questioning as soon as possible.

She looked terrifying. "Practice walking faster, or my son will get hungry. Alright, I'm going to take a nap. You go eat. Don't be in a rush to rest after eating. Wash the dishes and clean the floors before you do.

The old witch covered her mouth and yawned while she said that. After watching her enter the house, I breathed a sigh of relief. When I went to the table, she had eaten all the fish and meat. There was only a little of the vegetables and rice left. I could only fill my stomach up with those.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I ate a bowl of rice and the little bit of vegetables. That barely filled my stomach. After washing up all the dishes, I fetched water to mop the living room floor. I even wiped the table.

After I was done with all these things, I returned to the room, exhausted. I quickly fell asleep.

I somehow felt like I had not slept a long time before someone shouted and woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the wrinkled face of the old hag. "The sun is setting but you're still asleep. Go and make dinner. Frank and his father should be coming home soon."

"Oh."

I propped myself up and got up. I went to the kitchen to prepare the food, and after setting the table, I waited for them to come back with the old hag. Not long after, I heard voices outside. They had returned.

It was finally time to eat.

I had a pretty good dinner since it was a hot meal and not a cold one like this afternoon.

After dinner, I was washing the dishes as usual when Frank came up behind me. "Let me help you."

"Forget it. If your mother catches us later, things won't end well."

"She won't. She went out for a walk with my dad. It'll be some time before they get back."

Hearing what he said, I did not refute him anymore. I put the things down and gave him my spot.

It was the end of the day, and I was

already tired enough. I sat not far away and watched Frank as he washed the dishes. He was a man who would love his wife, but how could there be a girl who was willing to stay in a place like this? Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

This village should be developed so that they could live a decent life. There would not be any human trafficking then either.

Staring at his back, I pursed my lips and wanted to voice my queries but hesitated. After a long silence, I said, "Frank, haven't you thought about going out to work?"

Hearing this, he smiled. "What can an uneducated person like me do in the city? It's better to stay here and do farm work or whatever. I don't even have to see the looks people would give me." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

What he said made sense.

"Don't you think this village is quite suitable to be the grounds of a resort? The application for development might be approved. Haven't the people here thought about it?"

"No. Most of these people have never read a book, so how can they know so much? They live a safe life They just care about having enough to eat and having warm enough clothes to dress in."

Sure enough.

"It's done. We can go back to the room."

Frank put the last bowl away before turning around to smile at me. I went back to the room with him. Before that, I took a shower. The clothes on my body had been thrown to me by the ol@hag during the day. They looked like they belonged to her when she was younger. Although wrinkled and worn, they were still wearable.

When I appeared in the room wearing her clothes, Frank stared at me and laughed...
