Aileen’s whole mind is blurry now, as if even she is given a century worth of time, she will still be unable
to figure out what exactly is going on, it is like since after this time that she slit her wrists wanting to
commit suicide, that he has been treating her better and better now, what in the world is happening?
Can it be that Richard is indeed afraid of her leaving his side? But how can a devil like him care about
whether she is dead or living, but if he does not care about herself, then why is he adoring her so
much?
No, no, this must be all in her imagination, she cannot allow herself to sink into his adoration again,
because this kind of feeling feels too made up, all these cannot be real, but…
So Aileen frets about it there for half a day.
Not long after, Richard comes in holding a bowl of congee.
“This is some congee that I’ve just made, try it, it might make you have a bit more of an appetite, but I
know that these things may not be tasty, but trust me, I will bring you to have better food after, when
you’re healed, we will go and travel the world.”
Richard does not realise that he is talking about this non-stop around Aileen, like they are already
married for a long time, now their relationship is getting very unclear, he is clearly adoring her to the
extremes.
But now how they are behaving like is indeed boyfriend and girlfriend, so why does she still feel inside
a feeling of surreal?
Her heart clearing thinks of another man, Aileen knows that she is now so close with him and wants to
impress him is because she wants to find out about Aaron’s whereabouts, but how has that come to
this?
Furthermore, there is a huge question that is troubling her.
“Did you just say that this congee is made by you?” Her eyes still remain widened, as she mechanically
says these words, but Richard does not think much about it, as if this is just normal to him.
“Your body is not so well right now, it will be better if you take some light congee, I’m not too relaxed
about letting the servants do something like this, so I cooked myself, it might be a little hot, allow me to
feed you.”
Saying this, he actually used the spoon to pick up the congee, and blows on the congee with his
mouth, his movements looks trained, like he is very good at taking care of people, so is the man before
her actually nursing herself carefully? Aileen has never thought that there will be a day like this.
“Why are you suddenly so good to me?” He even planned for her to be in his future plans, this is even
shocking for Aileen, because when the man before her speaks just now, it does not feel like he is lying,
as if all of these is coming from a sincere heart.
If he sincerely wants to be together with her, but why does she feel not happy at all, but rather a weird
heaviness.
When Richard hears what Aileen says, he only gives her a smile.
“You’re my woman, it’s natural that I will treat you well, furthermore, you’re by my side, and if I still can’t
take good care of you, wouldn’t that be a laughing stock to everybody.”
This Richard is actually using a joking, relaxed tone when he speaks as so, and Aileen is even more
confused, and she cannot understand, is he trying to go against her now?
Looking at Aileen’s beautiful face, Richard does not know why but he keeps on explaining that, “I know
that a lot has happened between me and you, but now I truly want to be good to you, so I hope that you
can give me a chance and allow me to take good care of you, I promise I will let you have the things
that you want.”
Have the things that she wants? Aileen searches around in her mind about what she wants, and it is
only the whereabouts of Aaron, but will the man before her tell her? She is afraid that once she speaks
of that name, the man before her will become furious.
Has she not already reached a deal with the man before her? If he tells her where Aaron is, she will
stay by his side and let him do whatever he wants with her, and even become his slave, but now, as the
state of things develop, she does not know how to open her mouth and say these things.
“I want to tell you…” Aileen feels that she should still say this straight, or else if this keeps on dragging,
it will not be beneficial to the two of them. Further, it is no short time that she has wanted to go see
Aaron and get news about him.
“I know what you want to tell me now, but, can’t you wait until your body is restored. Just give me a few
days’ time, you can treat it like you’re restoring your body back to health,” it is the first time that Richard
has used this kind of soft and begging tone to talk with Aileen.
This is the first time that Aileen has heard him talk like this, and when she hears this her entire heart is
in a frenzy, this man is actually begging herself, and all these that he has said is to take care of her
body, how can there be a man that treats her so well, even more so she is now dating the man before
her.
Before that she has treated this man like the enemy that killed her father, but this man has harmed her
family and her lover so badly, can she still stay by his side so naturally?
“I know that you probably hate me now, but the thing that I promised you, I will definitely stick to it, but
you must restore your body back to health first, or else I will keep you here always, and this is not such
a good idea,” Richard seems to know what Aileen is thinking in her mind, so he purposely tells her
about it, and every word contains his good intentions.
Although Aileen is a very stubborn person, she too hears the underlying meaning in his words, he only
wants her to properly restore her body, all that he is doing now is to treat herself well, so it looks like
she has no more excuse to rebut him.
Further, the man before her keeps feeding her congee, and her entire person can no longer think
properly of these problems, so after a short while, she has become convinced by Richard.
Because her body is actually a little weak now, not long after she has finished her congee, she closes
her eyes and falls asleep, in her dreams Aileen feels a pair of hands caressing her forehead, it is a pair
of very soft hands, but she has no strength to open her eyes.
But she knows, that it must be Richard’s hands, because at this moment, other than him by her side,
there is already no other man.
