Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

When Cyril left, there was no redundant words, but the eyes that looked at her were somewhat angrier.

Probably, he felt that he had been tricked, so he was angry.

Danae lowered her head and thought to herself, he should be angry for that.

It was fine to be angry with her, at least in this way, she was not so guilty.

Holding Raymond’s hand, slowly falling, Danae suddenly felt that all her strength had been siphoned off.

This dim look was dazzling to Raymond.

Her lower jaw was buckled, forcing her to look into his cold eyes. She heard the man’s dark but cold voice coming faintly－

“What, did you really love him?”

Love… ah, Danae was speechless, but she knew better than anyone that her heart would not hurt, because she had already died.

It was better to deal with Cyril cruelly. He would be destroyed by her later.

There was nothing Raymond could not do. All she could do was to let those who treated her sincerely stayed away from her.

“I’m not.”

“You are Lying.”

Her jaw was pain, Danae frowned. This time she also chose silence.

Anyway, whatever he thought.

He was very dissatisfied with her indifferent attitude. Did he ever teach her since she was a child－

Be honesty, huh?

Those who were dishonest and lying to him would be punished.

“Danae, I thought you won’t need my teaching anymore.”

He thought she had grown up and would no longer made him angry by doing something wrong like a child.

Teach? Danae gave a wry smile. To be honest, looking back on the past now, she really didn’t know what Raymond had taught her.

… …

Danae was punished to kneel again.

Like parents’ corporal punishment of their children, she knelt in the living room, facing the stairs, wearing thin dresses, and her knees hurt.

In the evening, Susan looked at her kneeling there, and her eyes couldn’t help looking at the study with lights on the second floor. Without his words, no one dared to let her get up.

Her legs were numb on her knees, and she did not move. Although she had not been punished for a long time, she was used to it.

She still remembered that the first time she knelt here was because she accidentally knocked over the vase on the table. Raymond treated her very well at that time. She was only eight years old and did not realize the mistake.

Until the man’s face was cold, let her kneel down, kneel for three hours.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

At that time, she would still cry, wiping away tears and revealing her expectant eyes waiting for him to forgive her.

But now, she was no longer the simple little girl at the beginning.

Forgiveness? This was ridiculous. What did she do wrong, and what qualifications did he have to be a forgiver?

“Miss. Macaulay, you are not getting very well. Or I’ll talk to Mr. Macaulay, said you know wrong, let him don’t punish you again…”

“Susan… Did I do something wrong?”

Now she had no strength in smiling. What was wrong with her? At first, it was him who asked her to get close to that family.

He was also the one who wanted her to be engaged.

Now he was also the one who destroyed the engagement banquet and her.

Was she doomed to be a puppet who could not have freedom for the rest of her life, and even a slight revolt was a mistake in everyone’s eyes?

“…” Susan hesitated and looked at the pale－looking man, but could not say half a word.

“Susan, just go and take a rest.”

There was no need to stay up late with her as an ignorant person.

Another hour passed, and Danae only felt that her feet were no longer her own.

She knelt there, her whole－body sore, looking at the clock, it was past zero.

She was so sleepy and tired.

The eyes were closed and closed from time to time, so the quiet atmosphere was like a dead silence.

Finally, she saw the light projected from the floor, from the direction of his study－

The man stood on the stairs, condescending as the arrogant emperor, while she knelt here, humble as a servant.
