The Woman From Hell

Everything seemed to proceed in an orderly manner after that day. Theo seemed to have gathered enough people and no longer invited anyone else over. Life was peaceful and smooth but it did not feel dull at all.

The daily routine was already giving me a headache. Every time Theo saw my distressed appearance, he would persuade me not to work and go back to rest, but I always refused.

Day after day, my stomach got bigger and bigger. At six months and more, mobility was becoming more of an issue.

"Shouldn't you be good and stay at home now?" Theo put his ear to my stomach to listen before looking up to say to me.

His stern gaze looked like it was saying that he would eat me if I did not agree.

I knew that my body and my current state were indeed not suitable for work, so I agreed. "Okay, I'll agree with you this time. I'll stay home until I have given birth. That works, yes?"

Hearing this, Theo smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "it ought to be like this. Our child will definitely be born safely."

I rubbed my stomach, a small smile gracing my lips.

After I promised Theo to stay home, my daily life consisted of watering the flowers, taking a walk in the garden to bask in the sun, and occasionally going to the supermarket to buy some necessities. However, the peaceful days had just passed not long before there were waves again.

I read a piece of news one day. "YA President Matthew Zimmer was suspected of fraud and fled after being exposed".
