The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2462

I did not expect Marius to get this matter settled so quickly.

"Caroline, why didn't you answer my calls? Delia said you were busy when I called the villa."

Caroline sighed when she heard this. "Miss Owens has arranged many things by relying on her husband's love..."

Her husband's love...

My expression changed slightly. "It's good that you resigned, then. I'll feel more at ease with you helping me take care of the children in the future," I said somewhat uncomfortably. Noticing my abnormal behavior, Caroline stepped forward and took my hand. "I have no idea what kind of drug the sir is on, but I believe he'll change his mind when he wakes up from it." I smiled lightly when I noticed Caroline's gaze. She still believed in Theo. "Those things don't matter. We should just live a good life. You can help me take care of things during the day and go back when I come back at night. You can spend more time with your family that way."

"You're so thoughtful."

"Alright now, then we'll settle this matter nicely here. Let's not mention the past again. Every day that's to come in the future will be beautiful." Marius was full of energy, and the corners of his mouth were curled. Late night.

Caroline had long gone back, and the children were all asleep in the room. I sat on the sofa alone.

"It's late. Why aren't you asleep?"

Marius' voice brought me back.

He was already sitting beside me when I came back to my senses. Marius was wearing a thin blue sweater. He looked very gentle with a warm smile on his lips.

I looked down and chuckled softly. "I was thinking that tomorrow is Friday."

"You don't know how to tell Munchkin about this?" Marius looked at me again. It was obvious that he understood what I was thinking, yet he still asked.

I nodded and continued, "That's right. Munchkin is still so young. I don't know if he'll be able to take the news."

Compared to my heaviness, Marius

looked very relaxed. He spread open

his arms. The news about Theo and

Delia has long been circulating. around the internet. Everyone.

knows. Munchkin probably does as

well. He's a smart kid."

"It's because he's smart that I'm worried."

He lost his parents' love ever since he was a kid. Now he had to face Theo's and my separation. He was just a child, but he had to carry a burden that he should not be carrying to at his age. Being sensible was not necessarily a good thing.

"Alright. Let it take its course once it comes. I believe Munchkin is more thorough than you think." Marius pursed his lips as he nodded at me with a firm expression.

"I can only do that for now. I can't think of any other ways to solve this." The truth was I was frustrated.

"You're only living here because you trust me. So why not trust me again?"

Marius' words worked to catch my attention. When I met his eyes, I noticed for the first time how bright they were. It was as if there was a force in his eyes, ready to go. "You... You know." I froze for a moment.

He nodded and grinned. "You don't want to trouble your family and friends. That's why you didn't go and stay with them. You're not staying at Shannon's either. You chose me and aren't worried about troubling me. That's because you believe that Delia won't be able to touch me with my strength."

I was a little embarrassed when Marius hit the nail on the head. "I'm sorry. I wasn't-"

"There's nothing to it. I should be happy. At least it proves I'm not weak." Marius turned to me with a clear smile in his eyes.

I clasped my hands, feeling slightly

nervous. "I no longer dared

underestimate you ever since I

found out you're the person in

charge of Hyperspace. I figure net

there's a more powerful force behind you to support your usual

nonsense."
