The Woman From Hell

Chapter 162 I pursed my lips, my indignation apparent in my voice and my eyes as I said, "Why? We're all pretending to be pitiful. Did the performance fail because of my acting skills or because of my lines?" I did not get it. Why could Cindy get away with it every tshe used this method, but I could not? He smiled as he patted my head and said, "You're fine the way you are, so why would you need to imitate someone else? How could you still be pitiful when you've gotnow? There's no need for you to pretend to be anyone else. All you have to do is be yourself." His words madesuddenly realize that I should not hide my real personality when facing Theo. It would be best forto be as sarcastic to him as I liked and argue with him whenever I wanted.

Speople were well-suited to scripted acts, but I was not one of them.

Feeling listless all of a sudden, I broke away from his embrace and collapsed into sleep.

"No, you can't sleep yet. Your hair hasn't completely dried," he said as he lifted up my head and placed it on his lap, where he continued drying it with a towel.

"I'm very sleepy. Just dry it with the hairdryer!" I said with my eyes shut.

"Hairdryers damage your hair. Just go ahead and sleep if you want to." As he spoke, he adjusted my head into a more comfortable position and reduced his movements so I could sleep in peace.

I was tired after being tormented the entire night, so I fell asleep quickly.

Theo wokeup at nine the next morning and said he was takingto the hospital for a pregnancy checkup. Feeling extremely tired and sleepy, I did not initially want to wake up. However, I forced myself to get up when I remembered that my child was long due for a checkup.

After breakfast, I went to the hospital with Theo and underwent a series of checkups. The doctor said the fetus was developing nicely.

I could not help but heave a sigh of relief. This child had gone through so many difficulties. Every tI bled, I feared I was going to lose the pregnancy.

Thankfully, the child had been safe each time.

Theo patiently accompaniedfor the entire trip. Moreover, unlike the last twe went shopping for clothes, he did not try getting special treatment. This time, he obediently complied with the hospital's every request. While waiting, he did something unprecedented. He began a discussion with the men around him. He did not usually enjoy talking, so it was truly a rare sight.

After walking out of the hospital, the corners of Theo's lips curled upwards as he said, "Life is such an extraordinary thing. I find it difficult to imagine that this little black dot will grow up to beca human in the future." I rolled my eyes and did not say anything. Who would have thought that President Grant, such a shrewd and capable man when it cto his work, would also be able to have days where he said such incredibly lthings? He did not seem to mind my reaction as he turned around to ask me, "What would you like to have later?" I leaned against the back of the chair and listlessly replied, "Anything." I had not been able to rest well last night, and the crowds at the hospital just now meant that we had to wait in lines wherever we went. Right now, I was exhausted, and the only thing I wanted to do was take a nap.

"In that case, I'll phone Miss Woods and have her prepare a meal. When we get home, you can take a nap after you finish eating." I nodded and shut my eyes. I did not know before this that pregnancy would be so hard on a woman. Things that used to be easy forto do had now becoverwhelming during my pregnancy.

Over the next few days, although I went to work every day, I arrived late and left early under Theo's supervision. Things were not going too bad for me, all things considered.

Heidi did not cto work, but I did not think it was a big deal. After all, she had mentioned resigning because of what had happened last time. I had not agreed to it because of our long-tfriendship, and I had asked her to just return hand take a long break.

Although Theo had toldto ignore the incident with the advertisement, I still felt guilty about it and wanted to learn the truth.

Thus, I arranged a meeting with Zedd.

I had heard him arguing with Theo, and even more importantly, I thought I might have seen the person who kidnappedin his car.

He and Theo had worked together for many years now, and Theo had a lot of trust in him. If he had betrayed Grant Corporation, it would be a huge blow to Theo.

I waited at the cafe for half an hour before Zedd walked in, a sullen m expression on his face. Are you getting too bored nowadays? Why did you want to meet me?" The expression on his se 3 content is on novelenglish.net! With that, he reluctantly slid into the seat opposite m e, impatience evident on his face.

I had long gotten used to his attitude, so his words did not hurt me. Ash poured him a cup bf coffee, I said," Con, I'm your second brother's wife. Do you really hatethat much?" He huffed indignantly and turned his head the other way, refusing to speak to me.

"Do you hatepurely because of Cindy Reed? I don't understand you. No matter how much you want to help her, the truth remains that theo and have been married for three years, and we have a kid on the way. You're going to be his uncle. Could you really bear watching that child be born into a world where he doesn't have a dad?"
