The Woman From Hell

"Caroline, were the children good? Did they kick up a fuss?

"I should have finished work earlier and helped you share the burden."

Able to tell that I was sad, Caroline pretended to be nonchalant. "Madam, you'll be overwhelmed if you were to be responsible for everything.

"The children are still young and are unaware of what's happening. But if this continues, we would likely not able to..."

"Don't worry, Caroline. I understand what you mean."

Theo spent all his time at home in the study. Just as Shannon said before, Delia did not have many opportunities to interact with him alone, while I got used to moving between work and home every day.

I did not have any spare energy left to deal with emergencies at all when I got busy. However, when the weekend rolled over and Munchkin came home, he could not hide his excitement when he saw Delia and ran forward to hug her. "Mommy Delia, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"

Delia looked at me silently. The expression on her face was complicated, but there was a smug smile on the corners of her mouth. "I did. You've grown quite a bit now, haven't you, Munchkin? Looks like you've been eating and sleeping well." "Did anything good happen in school that you'd like to share with Mommy?"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I knew Munchkin actually saw Delia as his mom in his eyes. He was unwilling to let go of his hand that was hugging Delia even when he was acting all cute.

This matter was predestined from the very beginning when I let Munchkin make Delia his godmother.

Caroline was watching from the side, most likely feeling upset. There was a weary expression on her face.

Fortunately, Munchkin came to me after being intimate with Delia for a bit.

Children were unable to hide their thoughts, after all. Although he was happy to see Delia, he also wondered why she had been staying here for so long. "Munchkin, go back to your room first. Timothy and Wendy have been waiting for you for a long time. I'll come play with you all later."

"Alright!"

After Munchkin went into the room, had Caroline prepare some snacks and pastries that the children loved to eat. Delia left, embarrassed after being snubbed.

Even if she wanted to cause te

I would not let her do as she

pleased. I would not allow this

family's peace to be turned upside down by her.

I saw Caroline talking to Theo at the door of the study when I was passing by.

"Sir, would you like something to drink? I'll bring it up to your study later."

"Munchkin is back." Theo's voice drifted from the study.

Caroline looked back at Munchkin and me who were not far away and nodded. "Yes, he's back."

Theo did not ask any more questions. He just asked Caroline to prepare more food tonight before falling silent.

I did not stay to listen either. I led Munchkin back to the room.

I deliberately avoided clashing with Delia when Munchkin was around. I tried not to interact with her.

However, Munchkin saw all this and thought it was weird. It was like there was some misunderstanding and a gap between Delia and me.

"Will Mommy Delia will be staying here in the future as well? If that's the case, will you find it hard to get used to, Mommy?" "Why do you ask that, Munchkin?"

Munchkin looked at me with his

pretty, spirited eyes. "I asked Aunt Caroline just now and she said that Mommy Delia has been staying here recently. Mommy, is she...

..."

He was still young. He should not have to endure so much.

I cut him off. "You're still young, so don't think too much. Our job as adults is to work hard, yours is to study hard. Do you understand?"

Even if my interactions with Delia were awkward, we ought to control whatever we could in front of the children.
