Book 8: Chapter 38


    With her gaze on her man, Veirya gently took hold of his hand, reminding she had something important missing from her finger. She spun around Angelina, who stood leaning on the wall, and demanded, Angelina. My ring.


    You n to wear your ring now? Arent you worried about Leah trying something? asked Angelina, referring to Veiryas inability to wield a sword with a ring on her finger.


    Veirya nodded and then turned back to her man: Its fine. I think. Its safe now. So. It doesnt matter. I just. Want to look at him. He looks. Pitiful.


    Pitiful?! Go and ask someone else how long the line is to have the same experience. Look at the subis gathering spot. Tell me how many people are lined up, waiting for the subi to y with them. All he had was a subus and a gorgeous human do him, not to mention his wife being sorry for him after he got to enjoy himself. Who do you think would get to enjoy such a privilege? There wont be a second man besides him, jeered Angelina, with a smile and arms folded.


    Veirya shook her head: And nobody. Left the subis ce in this shape. Besides Leah. Ive never seen a subus. Attack others with her tentacles. Either. I have never. Seen a subus attack me.


    Obviously. No way subi wouldve attacked you. Leah wouldnt have attacked you, either, had she not been jealous. Angelina sighed.


    Leah, forbidden from entering the room, curled up at the door. If somebody just passed by, theyd mistake the situation as her stepmother abusing the adorable child while her father was ill. Nobody wouldve realised that the innocent-looking girl had trapped her father on a chair and raped him for three days, in addition to throwing her grandma and mother into the basement


    Are you sure about keeping her? If Leah could do it once, she can do it a second time. She, too, genuinely loves him, doesnt she? Subi are quite enamoured in love. The subi told me that. How are you going to face Leah, a daughter who loves her father, from now?


    In a tone of disbelief, Veirya questioned, And you would dare. To ask that question? Dont you. Share the same agenda? Else. Why would you care so much?


    Mm how did you be smart all of a sudden? remarked Angelina, wearing a helpless smile. She then made a quick strategic cough and switched to a serious voice. Put me aside for now. Leah is the main issue at the moment. Do you feel safe with her around? Dont you consider her to be a love rival? Arent you worried Leah willy her hands on him in your absence? Additionally, shes also mentioned that she needs her papa, or shed starve. You would dare to keep her around despite that? Veirya, dont you get jealous?


    Its not. His fault. I know. He did a lot for me.


    Angelina never imagined her daughter, who killed without batting an eye and was indifferent to every crisis, could look at Lin Dongqing with such a tender and affectionate gaze. Perhaps not even her daughter didnt know how tender and beautiful her face looked in the moment.


    I dont mind. What Leah says. I just want. To maintain, my current life. Im very happy. Right now. Im satisfied. Even though I dont do anything every day. He promised. He wouldnt betray me. Or leave me. So I dont mind. I dont. Understand. Why he cant. Keep Leah by his side. After he marries me.


    Within Veiryas framework, her man being with others was perfectly eptable as long as he didnt betray her. Lots of women would consider that betrayal. Veirya, nevertheless, didnt seem to agree. Furthermore, Veirya wasnt totally wrong. He didnt betray her; he was the victim. Consequently, Veirya wouldntin. In fact, she med herself for failing to protect him. Caressing her ring, she asserted, Since I agreed. To marry him. I will marry him. And. We will have our own child. Leah. Just made a mistake. I wont. Hurt her. Leah. Is also our daughter. We promised. To treat her the same way. And not abandon her.


    Angelina exhaled heavily: Whatever floats your boat. He and your father are seriously simr. Initially, your father was the same as him. He was an idiot, yet assertively dered hed protect me. When he was defeated, he refused to stay lying down because he was jealous that I was friendly with others. But that clumsy and silly man actually protected me.


    Angelina lowered her head and wiped her red eyes. Then, she smiled at herself: Its funny. I have a disobedient daughter, and now you have one, too. Our family really is the same. I, therefore, feel that our tastes are rtively simr. Lin Dongqing sometimes reminds me of the past, so may I have him for one day? One per week that is.


    No, resolutely refused Veirya.If you dare. Get intimate with him. I swear. Ill pummel you. So. Dont. Touch him. Ever. Again!


    Howe Leah can, but I cant?!


    Because. You have a husband. While Leah. Doesnt.


    Thats what you care about?! So any woman can be intimate with Lin Dongqing as long as shes not a wife?! I refuse to ept this! I object!
