The Woman From Hell



It was getting dark, and I happened to reach home before it got completely dark.

The villa was usually brightly lit. Why was it so dark today?

Did Theo not say that he was going to prepare dinner today? Why was no one here?

I entered the living room. I was about to turn on the lights when there was suddenly music. It startled me, but it was romantic piano music.

Amid the soothing and melodious music, the lights in the dining room slowly came on; they looked like spotlights. There were tall glasses, red wine, and a simple but high-end western meal on the table.

Theo appeared in front of me before I could react. He still looked the same as he did in the day. He was wearing a black suit, looking very formal.

I was stunned for a moment. I looked at him and could not help asking. "What day is it today? Why did you prepare all this?"

He walked toward me slowly with a bouquet of roses before handing them to me. "You actually forgot. It's our wedding anniversary." There was slight accusation in his tone but also amusement.

At his response, I remembered. "Did we get married today?"

It had been so long ago that I could not recall it for a moment.

Theo led me to the dining table and pulled out a chair for me. "Consider the second proposal since that was our real start."

"I see, so this is our first anniversary."

"There will be many more in the future. Won't it be your turn to prepare it next time?" Theo asked me with raised eyebrows.

I gave him a blank stare without hesitation. "Aren't men the ones to do these kinds of things? We women just need to be responsible." "What a domineering woman."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

It was the first time I heard Theo call me that.

I slowly smiled. "Of course, I have been influenced by you, President Grant."

"The phrase 'you are the company you keep' rings true."

How could you be so boastful? Was overbearing a good thing?

I glanced at him. His handsome face was really pleasing to the eye. I looked down at the meal. The plate was well presented, and even the fruit decorations on the side were well in place. "You made this?"

"Yes. Please have a taste, madam."

"I'll give it a try." I put a piece of it into my mouth. The fragrance oozed as I chewed and a satisfying taste bloomed through my mouth. "It's delicious." Theo pursed his lips with satisfaction as if the answer had been expected and began to eat.

I looked around but did not see Caroline or the other two newly recruited nannies. "Where are Caroline and the others? And the children?"

"I asked Caroline to take them out for a walk. It's not good to stay in the house all the time. Bask in the moonlight, and maybe they'll become smarter."

"You're just making stuff up, you.

When they grow up, they'll know that you had Caroline take them out so that you could celebrate our anniversary with me and will despise you for it." I could even imagine the scene of the two little ones beating Theo now. Thinking of it, could not help but smile.

Theo glanced at me. "Stop thinking about that and eat."

I did not dare think about it anymore at his instruction. I lowered my head and continued to eat.

After a while, Theo raised his red wine glass. "Happy Anniversary, Madam Grant."

"Happy Anniversary, Mr. Grant." I raised my glass and clinked it with his.

Please instruct me for the rest of my life.

After taking a sip of wine, I looked at

him with a smile. Theo was also looking at me while smiling. There seemed to be an electric passing between our eyes, and the

atmosphere was gradually

becoming ambiguous...
