Chapter 164
Chapter 164 Oh, what to do with this self-doubt.I thought as I ate breakfast with Richard.I didn’t have the courage to look at his face.‘This innocent man…’Did I screw up?I thought, wiping my pouty lips.Richard liked the skinship with me.He made a pleasant face when he hugged me, there was no denying that.But there’s only one thing I’m afraid of. It was a more intense skinship.Of course, I didn’t intend to be intimate either.But sometimes when a person is in the mood… hah. Let’s skip the next part.Anyway, Richard avoided me every time.‘Aren’t we married? Why are you avoiding me?’He quite likes to touch me, that’s undeniable no matter how you look at it. Why?Unless it’s my mistake, he is sometimes overly patient. To be precise, it felt like he was holding on to his desires.I thought there must be a reason and I just had to pretend I didn’t know…‘What is it about human desire?
In fact, Richard wasn’t the only one who found it hard to resist.
I was the first to reach the end of my patience with him and…<… Rose, please stop. You will definitely regret it. So think deeply…><It’s okay, Richard.>Richard’s patience, who continued to reject me, was also reaching its limit.He blew out a hot breath and finally gave in to my seduction.
From then on, our lips often met.‘I must be crazy.’I covered my mouth and let out a silent scream.What was I thinking, what was I thinking, how could I be so bold!When I lost my mind and did something like that, I often had to take a moment to realize what was happening.“By the way, Richard, aren’t you going to work today? Can you have a leisurely time like this with me?”For some reason, Richard, who was eating with a guilty look on his face, seemed to want to get up.Strangely enough, seeing that handsome man’s guilty face makes me feel good.It’s strange feeling…‘Let’s stop thinking about it.’“… Today is my vacation.”“Vacation?”As far as I know, Richard took care of the necessary chores in the village and received money.What kind of vacation is that?“I would like to stay with you for the rest of the day.”When Richard begged earnestly, it felt like my heart was melting away. I decided to pretend I didn’t know.
Yes. A person can take a day off.‘It’s a long day off.’Starting next week, I will also go to the castle to work, so there will be no more leisurely days than now.After I finished eating, I stared at Richard, who was sitting on the sofa and was busy.Did I eat too much?I think I’m a little sleepy…As I was sleeping, a cold hand touched my cheek.“Wife.”When I lifted my eyelids in surprise, Richard was looking at me with a caring smile on his face.“I think I will have to go to the grocery store because the ingredients are running out.”“… Shall we go together then?”“No.”Richard knelt down on one knee and wiped my slightly swollen leg.“Ugh.”“Are you in a lot of pain?”“… It’s okay.”“Lie.”It was very strange.I fell and sprained my leg yesterday, but I don’t think I hurt it this badly.I feel like I have a new wound that wasn’t there yesterday. Is it my mood?“Take it easy today, and when you’re better, we can go grocery shopping together.”“… Yes, I will.”“Are you sleepy?”“… Yes. I think I’m a little sleepy.”“Then get some more sleep.”Richard kissed my forehead.I replied with a smile and laid down on the sofa. After putting a blanket over me, Richard left the hut.“Goodbye….”I think he said one last time and fell asleep. *** <I do not forget what was done to me,> he thought.<I will remember your name, and all of it.>
I had a strange dream.A dream where eerie blue eyes flashed at me, threatening to tear me apart and suffocate me.“Ugh!”When I woke up in surprise, I was still alone in the cold hut.I turned my head to check the time, but it had been three hours since Richard had left.Why hasn’t he come back?
I had a bad dream, and a feeling of unease washed over me. I don’t want to be alone….I sat up in my seat.“Ugh.”My unhealed ankle screamed in pain, but I could still walk.
I dressed carefully and stepped outside.I walked cautiously through the woods, wondering if I shouldn’t have come out at all, as the wind blew like a knife through flesh.I had to watch the ground carefully so I wouldn’t fall.When I came out of the forest and went down to the village, I saw the silver hair.A smile came to mind as I was glad to find Richard. However…I found him laughing and chatting with unfamiliar women. My forehead was furrowed.‘… Is that what he was doing that made him so late?’A surge of irritation shot through me.“Richard!”Immediately, Richard turned his head and looked at me. He ran to me with a surprised face.“Wife, why are you here?”“Did I come somewhere I shouldn’t have?”Richard panicked at the sound of my sharp voice.“How did you come all the way down here when your legs is hurt?”“I came because they don’t hurt. Besides that, who’s that women?”In truth, my leg was throbbing, but that wasn’t the point.I gritted my teeth through the pain and asked bluntly.“Oh, are you the wife he talked about earlier?”At that moment, the women I was talking to with Richard came over.“Yes, I am his wife, but who are you?”“The man said his wife had hurt her leg and needed some herbs, so I helped him.”I looked at something in Richard’s hand. It was a green herb.“And you’re walking around just fine?”“…….”“I thought you were in pretty bad shape… because he said you couldn’t even walk…”The women looked at my bandaged leg, as if it wasn’t bad enough to be treated with herbs.I feel unnecessarily embarrassed.“Then I’ll leave, but come back if you need anything else.”
“…….”
The women left and I stood still for a while, unable to say anything.
Richard just stands there, looking like he’s holding back laughter.“Why are you laughing?”“… It’s nothing.”I felt embarrassed that he realized I had misunderstood.“Then why were you smiling at that women? You could have just gotten the herbs.”“……Are you jealous now?”“Don’t laugh, if you do, we’ll get a divorce.”“…….”Then, as if trying to hold back his laughter, Richard bit his lip forcibly.“It’s a beautiful day for a divorce, get me the divorce papers right now.”“I was wrong. Please don’t divorce me, wife.”“I will think about it.”The embarrassment did not go away, and a blunt reply came out.“By the way, have you gotten your groceries yet? Why…”
The basket I’d grabbed to go grocery shopping was empty.
“It took me longer than I thought to get the herbs. I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about, let’s go grocery shopping together.”“But, wife your legs….”I wonder if he’s worried about my leg after seeing how well I walked down.
“It’s a little throbbing, but I can walk. Didn’t I make it down all right?”
“…….”
He hesitated.
I’d already made it down.I wonder if he’s going to take me to the hut and then go out shopping again. No matter how physically fit I am…No. If it was Richard, I was afraid he would.
I wrapped my arms around his waist. I could feel his hard muscles stiffen through his clothes again.“It’s because I had a bad dream. I don’t want to be alone.”“… Wife.”“Don’t leave me alone.”As I hugged him tightly as if I would never let go, I heard a sigh as if he had given up.“Instead, if you are sick, you should tell me right away.”“Yes.”I grabbed Richard’s hand and hobbled around excitedly.
My stride was very slow because of my injured leg, and Richard matched it.We chatted while walking.“I had a strange dream and I was afraid to be alone at home. It wasn’t a scary dream, but it was strangely scary.”“What kind of dream did you have, that make my wife running like this?”“You appeared in my dream.”I'm really sorry for the really late update (。•́︿•̀。)
