"I don't want it!"
I throw myself at Frances and hug him tightly.
I could hold back my emotions when I thought he had no feelings for me before.
But now, since I know everything, how can I pretend to be calm?
How can I watch him being with Hilda since I have known that we are in love?
He touches my forehead helplessly and sighs, saying, "That's why I don't want to tell you. Before all the
troubles are resolved, how can I be with you without any worries? You have seen how cruel Hilda was
when she attacked Terence. She could even attack a man who loved her deeply without hesitation, let
alone you."
I know that Frances is worried about me, but the jealousy makes it impossible for me to imagine the
scene that they are together.
I hug Frances tightly and say wrongly, "I know that Hilda is very evil, but I feel very bad when I know
that you have slept with another woman."
Thinking of that, I feel so sad that I almost suffocate.
"No, we didn't do that. I won't touch any women other than you."
He strokes my forehead and says seriously.
I look up to him and try to believe what he says. However, I still feel that it is impossible.
"You have been married for more than a year, how is that possible..?"
There should be some things that he can't avoid.
Since a man and a woman have been already married, how can they not do that thing?
"I have my own way. Just trust me," he whispers to me.
Since he has already said so, I naturally have to believe him.
But that doesn't mean that I can accept the fact that they are together.
"We all know that Hilda did those things. Why can't we sue her? Or ... can we find someone to kill her
without anyone noticing?"
When I say this, my voice is trembling.
I have always been a good law-abiding citizen. I have never thought that one day, I would hate
someone to such an extent.
I even want to do such a terrible thing.
"Do you really doubt your husband's ability? If it is that simple, I would have done it long ago." He
gently scratches my nose, with his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Although we both know what she has done, there is no strong evidence. Killing her is not as easy as
you think. Even if Hilda dies, I can't guarantee that no one will avenge her. So, the only way is to find all
the evidence."
"But she's really wary."
"Every day, she will send people to follow me and check my whereabouts. That's why when I meet you,
I'll always scold and even hit you. Do you know how hard this is for me? I love you so much, but I have
to hurt you!"
"I went to the United States with her a few times. I knew that she was going to deal with some things,
but she always found various excuses. She never gave me the chance to know what she was doing.
Now, Penelope and Earl had better stay under my protection. And you have to stay away from them for
now."
He doesn't say anything else and stares at me with a gaze filled with complicated feelings.
However, I can't be clearer about what he is thinking in his mind.
Because the crisis cannot be resolved, I can only wait, right?
"How long do you want me to wait? One year, two years, five years, or ... a lifetime?"
