The Woman From Hell

I swear, if I did not know that Theo was acting with me, I would have immediately grabbed the ashtray on the coffee table and smashed it on Theo!

"Great, just great! Looks like I'm the only outsider in this family while you two are the real family! I never expected my own husband to say such a thing!" I emphasized the word 'husband' with a satirical tone that even a fool could tell.

Delia kept looking at the two of us as if she was doubting the authenticity of our argument.

I could not tell if she noticed it.

However, our argument this time was also coming to an end.

There was no point for us to drag the argument either as our slip-ups would become exposed.

"If that's the case, I don't think I need to come back to this house anymore!"

I immediately picked up the bag beside me and left the villa as fast as I could.

It was not until I had completely left the villa that I heaved a sigh of relief. Arguing with Theo had indeed not been a really good plan.

While I was aware it was an act, I kept thinking about how the scene we acted out today was just like a nightmare that would very likely happen in the future.

I was actually afraid of something like this deep down, but I could not do anything about it.

Wanda, oh Wanda. Just what were you going to do next?

I stopped by the roadside beside the lamp post, and my mind instantly fell into thought.

I definitely could not return to the villa. I had informed Caroline about this so that she would keep an eye on the children.

I even informed Theo.

Regardless, the children would be safe at the villa.

Now that we had argued, I could not return to the villa. The company was probably the only place left.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I soon thought of something else.

Green Orange had a difficult client

who was always overseas. They had recently just returned to the country and seemed to be in Sea City. I. could definitely use this as an opportunity to temporarily leave for

a short time.

I was striving to make my argument with Theo even more realistic, and, of course, I could also think of a way to communicate with that client properly.

I went ahead with it.

After thinking of this, I immediately called Shannon.

"Why do you want to leave Whaldorf City so suddenly at this time?"

Shannon seemed to have noticed that something was not right after she heard what I had to say.

"I can't really talk about this properly over the phone. Let me go find you at your home."

I did not wish to discuss this on the phone. Since it just so happened that I had nowhere else to go today, I chose to visit Shannon's house first. The moment I reached Shannon's door, she opened it eagerly.

"What's up with you? Weren't you

fine when you left home after work today? Why are you still out at a time like this? It's already so dark outside!"

ΟΛΟ

Shannon instantly sensed that something was wrong and hurled a series of questions at me like cannonballs.

"I got into a fight with Theo."

I quickly told Shannon the lie I had prepared after preparing myself mentally.

Presumably, Shannon would immediately explode when she heard this.

"What did you guys fight about again? That woman did something again, didn't she?"

Shannon immediately suspected Delia the moment she heard me.

"I knew that woman was up to no good. Let's go. I'll go back with you now. Why did you even leave after getting into a fight? That's also your home. If anyone should be leaving, it should be that woman!"
