The Woman From Hell
Chapter 768

Chapter 768

I pursed my lips and leaned toward the man's lips to plant a kiss. "How about this?"

Theo narrowed his eyes. "No way."

"What should I do to thank you, then?” I was a little dumbfounded.

He used to only request a kiss as a token of appreciation.

Theo's smirk looked a little meaningful. "You'll owe m e first. I'll let you know when I’ve figured itout."

Waiting for him to figure it out meant that nothing would happen, so I was relieved and said with asmile, "Sure, let's wait until you figure it out, then."

Theo was aware of my petty tricks but did not say much about it and took me downstairs to havesomething to eat.

After eating and returning to the bedroom, Theo picked me up and placed me on the bed. "Don’t goanywhere today and lay on the bed. Have a good rest."

I thought he was overly worried and smiled slightly." My belly really isn't cramping up. I don't need tolay in bed all day."

Insistence was written all over his face and I sighed

helplessly, choosing to listen to him.

Later, he went to the study. When he returned, there were several documents in his hands. Afterthinking about it, I thought he was busy enough with the company’s matters. If he had to work fromhome while taking care of Munchkin and me, then it would only be more tiring for him.

Thinking that I had brought him trouble, I inevitably blamed myself, so I stayed in bed the wholetime reading. I tried my best not to have him place his whole focus on me.

After almost an hour, Theo left the room.

I thought he went to the study again, but he came back with a bowl of carrot soup in his hands and Ifroze.

He sat on the bed and looked warmly and tenderly at me. "It's not that hot anymore, you can justdrink it straight away."

I did not really like the taste of carrots and said with a frown, "My belly isn't cramping up. I reallydon't need t o drink this."

Although I had stopped throwing up these days, every time I ate too much or ate something that Idid not like, I found myself throwing up quite easily.

I did not like the taste of carrots and would throw up easily.

Theo knew that, hence he did not force me to drink it and merely placed it on the bedside table. "I'llput this here first. If your stomach is hurting, then try and drink some, okay?"

I nodded. "Don't worry about me. You should hurry up and continue with your work."

If he kept coming to check on me, then with all the work that was piling up, he might even have towork until midnight.

Theo kissed my forehead and got up to finish his work.

After lunch, I did not want to go back to the room to lay down and suggested to Theo to go to thestudy.

He agreed. Perhaps worried that it was unsafe for Munchkin to stay downstairs alone, he broughthim to the study as well.

This was a newly-purchased villa by Theo.

Considering the fact that we had Munchkin now, the study was designed to be very spacious. Therewas a door behind the office chair and after pushing the door in, one would come to a children’sstudy. The books on the bookshelves were all carefully selected b y Theo, and they were all bookssuitable for Munchkin's age at the moment.

However, Munchkin merely looked at the pictures when he read.

He was only four, so I did not want to put too much pressure on him when it came to his education.Hence, I focused on cultivating his hobbies.

When he was a year older, I would then replace out his favorite things to do and let him learn the skillsaccordingly.

Time passed slowly. Theo was bustling about, and Munchkin had fallen asleep while reading books.He was nestled on the sofa and sleeping soundly.

I looked at them and felt a great sense of happiness.

How nice would it be if life could remain this simple and blissful every day?

Theo's fingers were tapping quickly on the keyboard, his gaze stern and focused. The man wasinherently tough and handsome. When he was serious at work, it felt as though all the light in theworld was converged around him, making him look particularly attractive.

I watched as he stopped and reached out to grab the glass. He brought it to his mouth, only torealize that there was no more water in the glass. He furrowed his charming brows slightly, though

only for a fleeting moment. He then put it down and went on with his work.

I put down the book in my hands and got up. I walked over and picked up his glass.

His gaze fell on me, and he stopped me with a smile." I’ll go and pour it myself later."

I smiled. "This is my duty as a wife."

Perhaps this statement had pleased him very much that he wrapped his arms around my waist,ignoring the fact that Munchkin was still around. He kissed my lips.

The man's lips carried a cool fragrance and I was momentarily lost in the kiss.

It was only until I heard Munchkin calling me did I come back to my senses and push him away.

Munchkin had just woken up and had not opened his eyes. When I walked over, I asked in asomewhat flustered manner, "Why are you awake?"

"I'm thirsty," Munchkin opened one eye and said in a daze.

I laughed. "I’ll go get both of you some water."

After pouring them water and watching the two of them quench their thirst, I nestled in the smallsofa once more.

Munchkin had just woken up. He jumped off the sofa holding the picture book he did not finishearlier and ran up to me. He lay down with his belly on the carpet. "Mommy, I fell asleep by accidentjust now. I definitely didn't fall asleep on purpose because I didn't want to read the book."

I was amused by him. "Now that you’re not sleepy anymore, you should read seriously. You can askme if there are any words you don't know how to read."

Munchkin nodded obediently. "Okay."

I then looked at Theo as he sat in his office chair handling his work.

Sure enough, men who were hard at work were the most good-looking.

"Mommy, why do you keep staring at Theo?" Munchkin suddenly asked.

I came back to my senses and looked at Munchkin with a slightly flushed face. "Didn't I ask you toread? What are you looking at me for?"

Munchkin felt slightly aggrieved. "Okay."

A man’s laugh sounded in my ears and my head lowered even more.

Theo got up and walked over. He sat next to me and took me into his arms. "Do I look toohandsome to you?"

I twitched my mouth, not wanting to admit it. "You’re shameless."

Theo laughed and took the book out of my hand." What do you want to have for dinner?"

I thought very seriously about it and realized that there was nothing in particular that I wished to eat.I said helplessly, "Maybe you should ask Munchkin instead."

Munchkin heard me calling out his name and immediately listed a few options.

Theo rubbed his head with a smile. "Okay, I'll cook tonight for you." "Yay!" Munchkin cheered withjoy.

Theo looked down at the book title in his hand and looked at me, asking, "You've been reading suchunhelpful books all day?"

I cleared my throat. "How is it unhelpful? You're a president, right? I’m learning from the female leadin the books on how they interact with the presidents.”

He raised his eyebrows. "How is your learning going, then?”

"It’s alright." I stroked my nose. "I just feel a strong urge to criticize them. Why do the presidents inthe books always have so much free time? The female lead runs to different places in the world andhe has all the time in the world to chase after her."

Since meeting Theo, he had been busy with work almost every moment. There were alwaysendless meetings, contracts, and errands.

Seemingly grasping the trace of complaint in my voice, he smiled. "How about we go to differentplaces i n the world as well?"
