The Woman From Hell

Marius wanted to explain some more when he saw how I looked to break the awkward atmosphere surrounding us, but I did not give him the chance to do so. That was because things might become even worse if he said any more, and I was a little afraid.

I switched the topic. "I'm going to go make dinner. You haven't had dinner yet, right? Let's eat together."

Marius could only nod as he watched me make my way to the kitchen. He hung his coat on the door somewhat arrogantly and went back to his room, dejected.

I leaned against the wall and let out a sigh of relief when I heard the door close.

To be honest, Marius was not the only one nervous. How could I not be too?

Until now, I had no idea how I should face Marius, so why not just let it be? The both of us should calm down and then think about what we should do next.

I looked at the chopping board in front of me blankly and breathed in deeply. Stop thinking. The most important thing now was to fill my stomach.

One hour later, dinner was done and served on the dining table.

"You can come out and eat now."

I stood at Marius' door and yelled before taking a seat at the dining table.

Marius came out of his room. He looked at me and sat down at the dining table obediently.

Neither of us opened our mouths to speak. Apart from the clear sounds of cutlery against the plates, there was only the sound of us chewing and swallowing.

I could tell that Marius was feeling a little uncomfortable. He really was not used to the atmosphere now.

Even though both of us were sitting face-to-face less than five meters away, we could not do anything. We did not even know how to start talking.

There were mixed feelings in Marius' heart, and it was the same for me.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Dinner was torturous. I knew things could not go on like this.

I already had Timothy and Wendy. I could no longer be with someone else. I had to find a way to end our current suffering.

I put down my cutlery and took a deep breath. I intended to clarify the matter. Neither of us would feel better otherwise.

"Marius, about the interview today... Actually, there's something I would like to—"

I could see Marius' entire body stiffening when I said 'interview.' His ears perked up too.

Alas, a cry rang out from inside the room before I could finish. A chain reaction started, and another cry sounded from the room. I quickly got up. The children had awoken.

I looked back to glance at Marius only to see him heave a sigh of relief. He even started eating faster and took the opportunity to finish dinner and run back into his room before I came back.

I sighed and went into my room. I saw Timothy and Wendy laying on the bed, crying loudly. Timothy was grabbing Wendy's foot and trying to stuff it into his mouth desperately. Yet, he could not no matter what.

Wendy did not know anything. She could only cry when she felt like she could not move her foot. The moment I saw the children, I knew that it was time to feed them because they were hungry.

"You little rascals. All you two do every day besides sleeping is eat. You guys must be so happy."

My mood suddenly improved seeing how innocent and cute the children looked. Having them by my side put me feel at ease regardless of whatever happened. "One by one, then."
