The Woman From Hell

Theo was looking at her tenderly the way he used to look at me.

It was just one night. What happened?

Delia looked at me while tugging at Theo's clothes. "There's still someone else here. Theo, tell her what you think."

Hearing what Delia said, Theo turned to look at me. However, there was no longer the deep affection he had in his eyes in the past. Only coldness remained. Although my heart was feeling chilly now, I still held back my emotions and asked, "She said you agreed to divorce me?"

"Yes. Let's get a divorce."

Theo responded to me without having to think before I could even react.

I was taken aback by his quick response and looked at him with disbelief. My faintly widened eyes revealed the disbelief I felt.

My heart was a little confused.

I pulled Theo to the side to avoid Delia, but Delia just stood there looking confident. I lowered my voice, "What's going on? Do you have other ideas?"

"I do indeed have another idea and that is to be with Delia so we can get together and leave." Theo shoved his hands in his pockets, his upright stance making him look a lot more imposing.

He did not seem to be lying judging from that posture.

"You really want a divorce," I whispered.

Theo looked at me and nodded. "Yes. It's been so many years. I figured you're probably also tired of this. I wanted to take advantage of this pretend argument to send you the divorce agreement after you left Whalfdorf City, but Delia wanted to see it with her own eyes. So, I asked her to call you back."

Every word he uttered sounded so sincere that I could not catch any cracks that he may be pretending.

I frowned, still somewhat in disbelief. "Why so sudden?"

"You're just slow. I've been bored for a long time. You just didn't notice." Theo turned sideways to help Delia with the messy hair on her temples.

Gentle eyes like those were once only directed at me.

He had never even looked at Cindy with such eyes.

Yet now he was looking at Delia like that.

I never thought this day would come for Theo and me. We overcame so many obstacles and experienced so many ups and downs before we were finally able to get together.

We had our own children, but he chose to leave without hesitation.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I can leave the children to you since I already have another with Delia."

Theo said again before I even opened my mouth.

This sentence chilled my heart even more.

The pain in my heart was intense. I held back my tears and forced myself to look at Theo. "Theo, I'm going to confirm with you one last time. Do you really want to divorce me?"

"Yes. I won't delay in giving you the alimony after we're divorced."

He had even thought about the alimony.

I laughed and sniffled. "Fine, then. We'll get divorced tomorrow morning."

After I said that, I picked up my luggage and ran up to the room upstairs.

Upon returning to the main bedroom, I noticed that the table was filled with Delia's belongings. She was so eager to live here.

I turned around and headed out. I went to the guest room, closed the door, and then lay on the bed.

The tears that I tried so hard to hold

wetting

the pillow and the blankets.

How did Theo change so fast out of nowhere?

Right, it was impossible.

I woke up and wiped my tears, deciding to look for Theo at night to get things straight.

It could be that he was unable to tell me his plan since Delia was around.

Thinking this, I decided I would do just that come night...
