The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2012

Drover had been coming back late every day these days. I was in the living room today, waiting for him to come back, but I fell asleep.

In my daze, someone put a blanket over me. When I woke up, I saw Drover's gentle face. He was looking at me, and his tone was soft. "Are you up?"

"You're back." I could hear my voice sounding hoarse. I got up and yawned. "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some noodles."

He nodded lightly. "Okay."

I got up and went into the kitchen.

I came out not long after with a bowl of noodles. Drover was sitting in the dining room, waiting for me. His tie was loosened, and his handsome face looked a little tired, but he still faced me with a smile. "It smells and looks good. Do you want to have some too?"

"There's still some in the pot. I'll go grab it."

We sat face-to-face. Marius had already gone to sleep, and it was just the two of us for the night.

While slurping his noodles, Drover asked me, "Why are you still down here when it's so late?"

"I was waiting for you to come back but ended up falling asleep," I said naturally.

These words, however, stunned Drover for a moment. The movements in his hands slowed down, and a smirk reached the corners of his lips. "You were waiting for me? What for?"

"Uh...." I looked up at him and explained, "I asked Marius about starting a business before this and he said it would be better to ask you. I've been wanting to ask you about it for a long time now but you seem to be very busy these days, so I thought I'd wait and see if I could talk to you about it today."

Hearing this, disappointment filled Drover's eyes and also his voice. "Oh, is that all? You want to start a business?"

"I do have the thought." I nodded. "But it's still too soon for this. I'll wait till after I've given birth." I touched my belly. I attached great importance to this baby.

"Well, it's still early, and starting a business isn't easy. You can use this time to analyze popular industries and consider what you want to do," Drover said.

"I know."

The topic of starting a business ended just like this. Drover's hand that was holding the chopsticks moved slower and slower. Noticing this, asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Does it not taste good?"

I

I saw him shake his head, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at me. He looked so serious. "I just suddenly thought of how nice it'd be to have someone waiting forme when I come back at night.

He must be thinking of Heather again.

Although I knew I should not mention it, I could not help myself. "Well, Heather had waited for you like this before."

Drover seemed to be a different

person when I brought up the name.

The gentle and elegant man

suddenly became violent. His expression was dark, and his voice was solemn. "Who told you her

name?!"

Ah yes, I suddenly recalled that Marius had said that the woman's name was Snow White the first time he told me. Her name was engraved on the wardrobe, but later it became Heather.

I did not take it to heart before, but now that I thought about it, it was really weird.

Snow White and Heather should be the same person.

Seeing how agitated Drover was, Heather was probably her real name while Snow White was her nickname.

He grabbed my hand, and his expression was cold.

"Marius did."

In just a moment, Drover's eyes dimmed. He let go of my hand. Although his expression was still dark, he was no longer as terrifying as before.

"I'm sorry," he said after a long time.

The sudden apology startled me. I shook my head. "It's okay."

He got up. "Sleep early. Good night."

Drover went upstairs. Looking at his lonely back, I felt sorry for him...
