The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2120

She looked at me angrily. The whip in her hand was swishing up and down as if she was showing it off to me. "It's been so long. Where did you go?!"

I could not tell her that I met an acquaintance, so I shook my head. "I just couldn’t recognize the route and made a few wrong turns. That’s why I’m late."

"How stupid of you to even take the wrong route. Why didn't you ask someone?"

"I did, but I was too far away. I would’ve been late either way." I softened my voice to make it seem as though she had beaten me down. The old hag should end her questioning as soon as possible.

She looked terrifying. "Practice walking faster, or my son will get hungry. Alright, I'm going to take a nap. You go eat. Don’t be in a rush to rest after eating. Wash the dishes and clean the floors before you do.

The old witch covered her mouth and yawned while she said that. After watching her enter the house, I breathed a sigh of relief. When I went to the table, she had eaten all the fish and meat. There was only a little of the vegetables and rice left. I could only fill my stomach up with those.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I ate a bowl of rice and the little bit of vegetables. That barely filled my stomach. After washing up all the dishes, I fetched water to mop the living room floor. I even wiped the table.

After I was done with all these things, I returned to the room, exhausted. I quickly fell asleep.

I somehow felt like I had not slept a long time before someone shouted and woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the wrinkled face of the old hag. "The sun is setting but you’re still asleep. Go and make dinner. Frank and his father should be coming home soon.”

"Oh."

I propped myself up and got up. I went to the kitchen to prepare the food, and after setting the table, I waited for them to come back with the old hag.

Not long after, I heard voices outside. They had returned.

It was finally time to eat.

I had a pretty good dinner since it was a hot meal and not a cold one like this afternoon.
