The Woman From Hell

Marius raised a brow lightly when he heard what I said. "What if you guess is wrong then, Sis Wan?" he asked in a brisk tone.

I looked up at him, my thoughts strengthening. "You just said 'what if.' That proves that I'm right."

Marius laughed out loud and sat upright. "Alright then. I'll tell you who I really am, then."

He stood up and cleared his throat. "Looking at my noble and handsome appearance, it's not hard to tell that my family is prestigious. My family has been in business for several generations, so there's some reason why my company is doing so well now, no? Look at me again..."

"You're the wise, mighty, extraordinary Young Master Klein. But I'm a little sleepy now, so let's stop here tonight." I could not listen to Marius praising himself anymore.

I got up and walk toward the room. Before I even entered, Marius' voice sounded behind me again. "Regardless, I have the power to protect you and the children."

This sentence stopped me in my tracks. I could not see Marius' expression, but it was not difficult to guess that he was wearing an expression of self-confidence at this moment.

I did not turn back but just replied, "I know." Then, I went into the room.

The next day.

I had to go to Cool Breeze Elementary School to pick up Munchkin today, so I left the company early and made my way toward the school.

"Mommy." Munchkin ran to me and dove head-first into my arms.

I caressed the little one's head, my eyes filled with affection. "Let's go home."

I held Munchkin's hand and was about to lead him to the car when he stopped in his tracks. "Mommy, wait." After saying that, Munchkin looked around as if looking for someone. My brows furrowed. "Who are you looking for?"

Munchkin's eyes abruptly shone as he pointed forward. "He's here."

Following the direction of his finger, I looked over. "Marius?"

"Brother Marius." Munchkin let go of my hand and ran to him.

Marius knelt down and picked up Munchkin, bopping his little nose. "Who are you calling 'Brother'? It's 'Uncle' to you, got it?"

When did they become acquainted with one another?

Seeing Munchkin and Marius horsing around, I stepped over and asked Marius, "Why do you know Munchkin so well?"

"After what happened between you and Theo, I often came to keep Munchkin company."

"Munchkin, you..."

Munchkin looked up at me. "Mommy, I know you and Daddy got into a fight, but it's okay. You still have me. I'll always be by your side."

"Who are you calling 'Daddy' still?

Just call him by his name now. It's

fine." Marius had never really 13

The His attitude toward him

was

even harsher now.

"I can't. It's rude. But I can call him 'Uncle Grant'."

It turned out Marius had been thinking of Munchkin since some time ago. He had been finding ways

to make sure I had no worries. I was touched at this moment.

"It's getting late. Let's hurry back," Marius urged. He put Munchkin down. "I didn't drive here, so please give me a ride."

I looked at him and laughed out loud. "Let's go, then."

After we got into the car, Marius and Munchkin were at the back having fun with one another. Here I thought it would be another scene when came to pick up Munchkin today. I did not think... Thank goodness for Marius.

Looking at the mirror, I could see the bright smile on Marius' handsome face.

It would be terrible of me to still not know what his intentions were after he did this.

Yet, I could not give him an answer, so I simply pretended not to know.

As if noticing me looking at him, Marius looked at me. "You're looking at me, Sis Wan. What's wrong? Are you falling for my handsomeness?"

"You're overthinking it. I was looking at Munchkin. Don't misunderstand."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Tsk" Marius pursed his lips.

I looked away and focused on driving.
