The Woman From Hell

Chapter 164

"Alright. You head over there first, I'll come to accompany you once I've wrapped up matters here." I took a card out of my purse and handed it to her." Treat yourself properly once you get there, and the same goes for the child in your womb too."

"I've still got some money with me. Keep your card."

"Don't bother with niceties when it comes to me. Do you think I don't know how much money you have left? Didn't we agree to stay together? I should pay for my share of the house as well. Take it! I have Theo for now, so I'm not in any need of money," I said as I stuffed the card into her hand.

This time, she did not refuse. She laid her head on my shoulder and said, "Wanda, we've both got kids now. From today onwards, we will no longer be lonely souls on this planet."

Yes, children brought with them attachment. We would no longer be lonely women with no family or friends.

I did not return to the mansion that night. After phoning Theo to let him know I would not be returning, I spent the rest of the night talking to Cecilia.
