The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2008

I tried his method, and it really worked. It actually felt much easier than before.

I thanked him with a smile. "Thank you."

He smiled back at me and said nothing.

Now seemed like the perfect time to talk.

Thinking of it, I slowly started with some embarrassment, "Uh, about that... I..."

Hearing the hesitation in my voice, Drover looked at me with a brow raised slightly. He had obviously guessed what I wanted to say and pursed his lips lightly before opening his mouth. "I was impulsive yesterday. I'm sorry."

He apologized first.

For a moment, I was stunned, then I shook my head and replied, "No, I should apologize to you. I just subconsciously hit you... It wasn't intentional."

For someone like him, surely no one had ever slapped him before.

My thoughts were validated in the next moment.

Drover smiled lightly, amusement dusting the curvature at the corners of his mouth. "That was the first time someone hit me like that."

All of a sudden, I felt embarrassed at having my thoughts exposed. With an awkward expression, I smiled at him. "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."

He narrowed his eyes and shook his head twice. "It's nothing. I understand your emotions at that moment. You were scared."

I really was.

At that moment, there was this hostile aura surrounding Drover that I could neither push nor shake away. With the intense sense of oppression pressing up on me, I lost control.

I lowered my gaze. When I raised it again, my eyes were clear. "Yes, but it's in the past now, yes?"

"Yes, it's over," Drover answered me in a low voice.

I felt a lot more relaxed after talking. The weight on me finally fell to the ground, and I was relieved.

Finally, I could enjoy this camping trip without any distractions.

I glanced at Drover intentionally but also unintentionally. There was a glint in my eye when I remembered Marius' words. "I heard from Marius that you guys often go camping together, so you must be experienced."

"Yes, it used to be more frequent, but we stopped for a long time afterward." Drover's expression was a little low when he said this.

I knew it was because of Heather, but still, I pretended not to know and asked, "Why not? Were you guys with work?"

Hearing this, Drover's expression changed slightly, but not by much. His expression quickly returned to normal. "Yeah."

I had probably reminded him of Heather. He looked like he was not in the best of moods.

I did not continue asking questions. I just continued hiking.

I did not know how long it took, but when I looked back at the road we had taken, we had already climbed two-thirds of the way and were left with only the last third. I looked forward; I could finally see the top of the mountain.

"Come on, we'll be there soon. You won't be disappointed by the scenery at the top." Drover winked at me.

This made me look forward to it too. I also thought that it would definitely be beautiful.

Marius had been at the forefront the entire time, urging us from time to time. "Sis Wan, Drover, you two are walking too slowly like snails."

"Do you think everyone is like you, a monkey? Besides, I'm pregnant," I glanced at him and replied angrily.

Behind me, Drover also agreed with me. "Yeah, Wanda is right."

Seeing the both of us singing the same tune with smiles on our faces, Marius understood immediately. "You guys have made up. No wonder you two are echoing one another now. My brother, you truly are putting chicks before bros." He snorted coldly and put his hands on his hips. "Forget it. This camping trip was for both of you anyway. If you two have reconciled, then the goal has been achieved. Let's go to the top of the mountain together!"

He raised his hand and stretched it forward...
