The Woman From Hell

Time seemed to pass by quickly in the countryside. While I was not paying attention, three to four days passed. In these three to four days, I behaved extremely well. I figured Matthew must have let down his guard by now.

It was another day of me going to bed early and getting up early. When I woke up, I happened to bump into Matthew who was about to head out. I took a step forward and smiled, "Off to work?"

I overheard him talking on the phone at dinner last night and he mentioned trading. Presumably, he had gotten a job in town.

It was remote here, it was also his hometown. Most people would not ask Matthew about his affairs in Whaldorf City, so he could settle down here.

However, considering his personality, I did not believe that he would be willing to stay here for the rest of his life. I figured he would free himself of this place the moment he had the chance. This place was only temporary for him.

Matthew glanced at me, his tone a little more gentle. "Yes. Stay home and don't run around."

Now that we were here, he was quite assured leaving me alone at home. After all, I was not familiar with the place and could not run off anywhere. Still, he locked the door to prevent me from running off. "About that, I haven't been out for a few days. If things go on like this, I think I'll suffer from depression." I let out a soft sigh and looked at him with a pleading look. I hoped he would give me a satisfying answer. His guard was up immediately after I said that. Even his warmth from before disappeared. "Do you want to go out?"

His questioning tone was aggressive and overwhelming.

Although I was panicking, I still wanted to fight for myself. "Yes, I want to go out for a walk."

"No." Matthew practically blurted out.
