The more he looks like this, Aileen gets more anxious. She knows that Richard is not a person who
usually lies. What’s more, things have developed to this extent, no need for him to lie. Aileen never
expected that he would request such things. Now that she is in an awkward situation, she has no right
to say no.
While Aileen still keeps silent, Richard is impatient.
“What? You don’t want to answer, do you? Answer me, right now!” He yells at Aileen.
This guy is really rude. Aileen suddenly feels like she can’t take this. She feels tired. She needs some
rest.
“I’m really tired. Why don’t you give me a break and we’ll discuss it tomorrow?” She closes her eyes
instantly because she is out of strength. She has no idea about how things are going like this.
She also doesn’t know whether she is right about her choices. But she starts regret now. However,
there are no other options. She really tries to give out everything. But now she becomes frustrated and
doesn’t know what to do next. The only thing she knows is to cheer up. She can’t be like this anymore
because many things are waiting for her to deal with. She has to cherish the current moment.
Aileen closes her eyes.
Richard doesn’t wake her up but lets her sleep.
But the next day, when she is still sleepy, Richard comes to shake her shoulder. She knows that she
can’t pretend to sleep anymore. She can’t muddle through somehow.
“You seemed to have been sleeping long enough. If you continued to sleep, I might think you were
dead. Now, can you answer my question?”
Although he is aggressive, Aileen has no complaints.
“I know what you want.” Aileen opens her eyes. She knows that she can’t keep pretending any longer.
She has to confront him face to face and tell him everything.
“I thought you are going to play dead.” Richard continues his harsh words.
“I’m not. I just...” Aileen explains anxiously.
“You don’t have to explain. All I want is an answer.” Richard makes himself clear. Aileen knows that she
cannot go on like this.
But she is really distressed. Should she go to her brother? This stuff troubles brother last time. He
certainly will not help though. It is pointless to go for such things when you know there’s no result.
That’s why she really wants to pretend to sleep.
“Do you still want to escape? If you don’t help me to solve this problem and ask your brother for mercy
so that I can regain my freedom, you should stay away from me!”
This is a threat. Aileen doesn’t expect Richard would threaten her like this. It seems like they just been
together yesterday, but now she just can’t accept his violence and rampancy.
Richard sees through her mind. He says immediately, “Do you think I am unreliable? You still have time
to leave me.”
Aileen is stunned. Does he try to force her to leave? No, this is unacceptable. Although she feels lots of
pain, it would be a waste if she left now. She doesn’t know how much time she will take to reach her
current situation again.
“Don’t you say I don’t give you enough time to think, I already have. Don’t be shameless.” Richard
becomes more arrogant. Aileen has no idea why he treats her this way, but now she fumbles for
nothing to say but nodding.
Richard is not happy to see her like this.
“Are you dumb? Why don’t you speak out?” Is this woman so unwilling to talk to him?
Facing Richard’s pressure, Aileen finally chooses to talk.
“Well, I’ll do what you say.”
Richard gets astonished when hearing those words. It’s unbelievable that a woman who is so difficult to
communicate with will actually agree to his request. If she follows by his rules, she is still a good girl,
and he can still keep her around.
After hearing this, he reaches out his hand and pets her head like a dog. He suddenly finds she is
charming.
“Charming” for this woman? He must be crazy. How can such an idea come to him?
He must be crazy to do this. However, it doesn’t matter now. The most important thing is to solve his
current problem.
“But you have to give me some time. You know, it’s brother...” Aileen must buy time.
“All right, I can wait. I know how you have a good relationship with your brother. I’ll wait for the good
news.” Richard knows who Alex is. So he says this deliberately.
It doesn’t occur to Aileen that this man would actually believe her. She is a little surprised. She asks
unnaturally, “Why do you trust me so much?”
Sometimes when she doesn’t even believe herself, Richard always gives her trust and confidence. She
never had this feeling before—she is attracted to this man.
“I know you must be surprised. But since you want to stay with me so much, I will give you a chance to
prove yourself.” At the same time, it is also a test of her sincerity. There must be some skeletons for
this woman to approach him.
