The Woman From Hell



Even though Shannon tried to persuade me again and again, I still did not have the courage to go back to the villa. Standing in front of Marius' apartment, I lowered my head and sighed before entering the house after a moment's hesitation.

Sure enough, he did not go to the company and had been at home.

Marius told me when I went out this morning that I could come back anytime in the evening and that he would be at home.

He was not surprised to see me and had a smile on his face. I looked toward the dining table, where delicious food was already prepared. It was like he knew that I would definitely come back.

I followed him to the dining table and took a seat. I picked up the cutlery and took a bite.

Marius kept looking at me, which made me feel unnatural. I looked up at him. "Why do you keep looking at me?"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Of course, it's because I want to observe your mood," Marius said with a smile. He closed his eyes and started to eat.

There was a silence at the table, which was unusual for Marius' character.

I could not stand it anymore, so I asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Can I?" Marius looked at me with surprise.

"I didn't seal your mouth." I continued to eat with my head down after I eyed him.

Marius got excited and moved closer to me. "I won't hold back, then. Were you busy with work today, Sis Wan?"

What the heck kind of question is this?

I replied to him a little helplessly, "Yes, what else could I have done?"

"Don't you want to know what's going on over there?"

Marius' tone was light as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

Of course, I knew what he meant by 'there'.

My eyes dimmed slightly, and I shook my head. "I don't."

Hearing this, Marius' eyes shone. He obviously did not believe my answer. He smiled slightly and said to me, "Why aren't you telling the truth? You obviously want to."

I pretended to serve myself some food leisurely. "If you want to talk about it, then speak properly. I'll listen. I won't force you if you're not going to say it." My voice was light.

"Okay, then I'll say it." Marius' voice

was a little weak as if he was deliberately testing me. I was calm and said nothing. He continued, "President Grant has been in the company all day. I'm guessing he's probably still there. Delia..."

Knowing that he was trailing on purpose, I pursed my lips and waited for his next words.

Marius raised his brow. "Delia didn't make any announcements today. She stayed at home and didn't seem to have much contact with President Grant."

"She's already pregnant. What's the point of having contact or not?"

"What?!" Marius did not know what had happened and was shocked when he heard what I said.

He gulped, surprise showing on his face. "Delia is pregnant with Theo's child?!"

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I nodded lightly. "Yeah, it was an accident. I was also very surprised when I first found out, but they said it was an accident. It was a really big accident."

Putting down his cutlery, Marius stood up. "I'll go to Theo to ask for clarification."

"You don't need to do that. I know

everything need to know. Even if he didn't want it to happen, what else can I do said. I stopped whatever I was doing and stared at Marius with a calm expression on my face.

Marius looked at me with frustration. "thought you two just got into an argument. I didn't expect it to be such a big deal. How can you swallow your anger for such a thing? You can't avoid it. Let's go, l'btake you back."

He came to my side, took my hand, and was about to drag me out, but I shook him off. I turned away. "I won't go. You'll have to go by yourself."
