The Woman From Hell

I made a face and kept quiet.

“Are you worried it’ll be bitter?” After a short while, he grinned. He lifted his eyebrows up a little, his

eyes shining like the sun and his smile extremely alluring. I I was a shame he did not smile often.

He got up, took a bottle of honey out of the fridge, scooped out a few spoonfuls, dissolved it in water,

and passed the cupt ame. He said, “It won’t be bitter anymore after this! Let’s eat that medicine now.

There’s a good girl!”

1. L. Was he treating me like I was three?

Exasperated, I took the cup and gulped it down.

Once I was done with the medicine, he took the cup from my hands and washed i t in the sink

It was a surreal feeling watching him, with his tall and lanky frame, slave away i n the kitchen. Tonight, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

he was giving me all his love, and it felt unreal. like a

at his love, and it felt unreal, like a dream I had stolen for myself temporarily.

There were ripples in my heart even though it was obvious he was only doing all of this for the baby.

“What are you thinking about?” While I was lost in my thoughts, Theo finished washing the cup. He

walked over to me and hugged my shoulders.

“Nothing much. It’s getting late, I wanna rest soon.” I felt a tinge of guilt as I laid down quickly and

pretended to be sleepy.

He climbed into my bed and wrapped his arms around me.

Theo, you should sleep over there.” There was a luxurious bed for carers right beside me. Why was he

squeezing into my bed with me?

“Don’t move, let me hug you for a while.” My words did not sway him. He simply closed his eyes, still

keeping me in his arms.

I raised my gaze to see that over just a night’s time, his razor-sharp jawline had

gotten covered in a layer of light stubble, making the usually fair-skinned Theo look a little more mature

and sexy.

“You done watching me? Do you think I’m exceptionally handsome today?” He suddenly opened his

eyes, humor glimmering in his gaze.

I felt embarrassed to have been caught red -handed by him, so I turned around and said in a low voice,

“Don’t be narcissistic, who’s watching you? Leave me alone, okay? I wanna sleep.”

He nuzzled his face behind my ears and chuckled without restraint, just like a little boy.

Most people have two different sides – one of these sides is hidden from the world, only revealed on

rare occasions. I reckoned this chuckling side of Theo was the side that he hid from the world!

I was speechless after I caught myself thinking such a thing What kind of logic was I going off of those

two things were completely unrelated.

Not wanting to mess around with him

sleep

I could only drift off to sleep as the sun was rising

When I woke up, it was almost noon. Theo had not gone to work and was working hard in the kitchen.

He looked pretty refreshed despite the fact that he had not slept the entire night.

“Don’t you have to go to work?” I asked, He was usually very dedicated to his work, so him missing a

day at the office was a rare sight.

“The company can still run without me. Come on, let’s have breakfast.” He served the breakfast he had

prepared right in front of me

“Can we go home after breakfast?” I asked hurriedly.

“Finish it all, and I’ll let you know,” he demanded.

I looked at the spread: buns, pastries, milk, and oatmeal. I forced myself to eat,

lk, and oatmeal. I forced myself to eat, so I could go home carlier,

I was lucky that Theo did not insist on me staying in the hospital. Right after breakfast, he had the

paperwork done to have me discharged.

The only thing I was embarrassed about was that he insisted on carrying me all the way to the car once

again, despite my huge protest.

Needless to say, it was an attention grabbing scene. All kinds of looks, from envious to mocking to

teasing, were shot our way. A few people recognized Theo and were even more shocked. It was all

Theo’s fault. With that ridiculously handsome face of his, it was hard to avoid attention
