Chapter 832
The Woman From Hell
Munchkin was standing in the middle of the living room, crying his heart out. When he saw me
coming i n, he ran up to me and hugged my thighs. "Mommy, I dreamt that you left me alone.â
I was heartbroken to see him cry so hard, so I picked him up from the floor and comforted him.
"You're my baby, why would I leave you? Be a good boy now. Don't cry. Mommy's here."
Munchkin settled down and fell asleep in my arms.
I brought him back to the bedroom and saw Theo sitting on the sofa when I came downstairs. My
chest felt a little stuffy.
No matter how I looked at it, he was currently in a state of extreme anger.
I knew that any man who saw his wife kissing another man would feel terrible even though he knew
that she was forced to do it.
I did not walk over and looked silently at him for some time before turning around and entering the
room.
Certain situations allowed for one to speak openly about oneâs feelings, but certain situations did
not.
After returning to my room, I took my clean pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When did Theo and I start being so careful of each other's feelings?
Probably since he watched the video. Every little detail of Matthew taking care of me during that
period of time was recorded. I was in grief and despair at the time. I was blind to everything that
was happening around me, hence there were a lot of intimate interactions between us. There were
certain images that I felt were inappropriate to watch, so it was probably worse for Theo.
This was a trigger. The words Matthew said to him at the wedding banquet had completely set him
off.
I was lost in thoughts for too long and realized that I forgot to turn on the ventilation. I felt a little
short of oxygen. I quickly wiped myself and put on the pajamas before leaving the bathroom.
I lay down on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Perhaps a good nightâs sleep was all I needed for everything to be alright.
This night, as I had expected, Theo did not return to the bedroom.
He did not want to pass the negative emotions to me, let alone start a fight with me.
When I woke up the next day, Keith had already sent Munchkin to kindergarten while Theo had
gone to work. Me and the new nanny, Caroline, were the only
ones at home.
When Caroline saw me come downstairs, she said with a smile, "Ma'am, Mr. Grant just left not long
ago. H e told me to cook you some oatmeal. Remember to have some later."
I nodded. "Okay."
I sat down in the dining room and Caroline quickly served breakfast.
When she was done serving, she put a sticky note in front of me. "Mr. Grant wanted me to pass this
to you, Maâam."
There was a line of words on it. âRemember to eat breakfast and lunch. Iâll come back earlier tonight
to have dinner with you.â
I picked up the note and felt momentarily dazed.
He was still so nice to me as always, though we both knew that we seemed to have reached a
dead-end. We did not know where the road ahead was.
Perhaps because I was in a bad mood, I did not have much of an appetite. I took only a few bites
and stopped eating. However, I remembered Theoâs instructions and forced myself to eat a little
more.
However, I threw up all of it half an hour later.
The weather was getting colder and I felt a little lethargic. All I wanted to do was stay still in a
warmer place, so I went to the study and nestled on the sofa to read a book.
After reading for an hour, my eyes were tired, so I put down the book and closed my eyes to rest.
Suddenly, I recalled the box that Cassey gave me last night and got up to leave the study.
