The Woman From Hell

Shannon was like a small firecracker. She looked like she wanted to fight Theo without even exchanging a word or two.

I hurriedly pulled her back. "This has nothing to do with Delia. The point is there are just some things that Theo and I are unable to reach an agreement on."

If I had not pulled her back, she probably would really have the guts to go looking for him directly.

"But the two of you are husband and wife. Even if you guys were to argue about something, it should not reach this point! Wouldn't it be the same as Theo chasing you out of the country with what he's doing?" Shannon looked pained as she kept on condemning Theo.

"Theo's not the one who drove me out. I was the one who left out of anger."

I truly felt a little guilty when I saw how angry Shannon was, so I quickly took this opportunity to speak up for Theo.

"The truth is I don't like Delia. I just left for some peace. You should be aware that neither I nor Theo can do anything to a pregnant woman."

Shannon pouted when she heard this. "This is so unfair. Why do I feel that Delia is using her pregnancy as a badge for avoiding death? You guys can't do anything to her!"

That was indeed the case.
