The Woman From Hell

month cooling-off period?!?"

Sure enough, Delia could not sit still when she heard that there was still a 30-day cooling-off period. She was practically hanging off Theo. "What kind of a ridiculous regulation is this? A divorce is a divorce. How can there be any more feelings? Why is there still a one- Theo glanced at me before he started comforting her. "One month will pass very soon. Here's the receipt. I'll go and get the divorce certificate when the time comes."

He actually handed the receipt over to Delia for safekeeping.

I looked at the two of them calmly. Delia smiled after she got the receipt. "I guess it won't hurt to wait for a month. The divorce will still be finalized anyway. Ah, how about this? How about you move out earlier so that you can get used to it when the time comes, President Lane?"

She really did not want me to stay for another second, huh?

I was very clear about what Delia thought. Delia wanted me to move out to avoid me interrupting their two-person world. I was also a sensible person, but before that, I had to get my children back.

I said while facing Delia's arrogant face, "You want me to move out? Simple. Give me back my children first."

"Oh, it really slipped my mind. That's alright. But it's quite late now, so tomorrow it is. I'll have someone bring your children over tomorrow. I wonder when you'll be moving out, President Lane." "I'll pack my things immediately when I see the children."

I paid attention to Theo, who was standing beside Delia. There was not a change in his expression since the start. I did not know what I was expecting either. The truth was clearly in front of me. "Okay, but you have a lot of things. Will you be able to move with the children as well?"

"You don't need to worry about me, Miss Owens."

I did not want to see the two of them down here anymore, so I went upstairs instead after I said that.

I could still hear what Delia said to Theo downstairs. "If nothing else happens, this will be her last day here in the villa. Theo, I will take good care of this house in the future."

Hehe, she was going to take care of this home?

"Of course, my lady."

I was taken aback by Theo's response and stopped in my tracks.

He really answered her so decisively.

He ended our relationship of many years just like that. The love we asked for really did not last long.

Reaching my hand up to wipe away

my tears, the images of me

humbling myself before Theo in the past came to mind one by one. Perhaps he had only lost his mind after being moved by my lowliness. Now that he was awake, this relationship should also be ended.

I went into the room and sat on the bed. My mind was empty, and just like that, I sat there for a long, long time.

Nobody called me for lunch, and night soon fell.

With no lights switched on, the room was pitch dark. I fumbled for the switch, tied my hair, and then went downstairs.

Neither Theo nor Delia were around. They might have gone out for dinner. Caroline was not here either, so I cooked some noodles for myself.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The two of them returned the moment I was done with my lonesome dinner.

Delia laughed when she saw me cleaning up the dishes. "Miss Lane, you look so lonesome having dinner on your own. I would have asked you to join us if I knew."

I glanced at her. She might be pregnant, but she still dressed herself up so fancily. Just when was about to speak, I heard a voice behind her. Theo had also returned.

I did not want to see him at this time.

I had no choice but to retract what I wanted to say and simply respond to Delia with 'I'm done eating' in order to avoid him.

I went upstairs to my room without looking at Theo.

My mind felt much clearer after I took a shower. I lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and unconsciously fell asleep...
