Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
22. Overreaching

Roxanne is not a proud girl. Since childhood, Mother does not allow herself to boast or feel that she is someone very great.

Mother said, arrogant people will one day be affected by it themselves. Mother said, arrogance is a scary disease.

Because that's ....

"I'm sorry."

Roxanne knows how to kneel, knows how to prostrate and knows how to make herself self-respectless.

"I'm sorry to make Young Master like this." Roxanne closed her eyes, sincerely speaking to Graean.

Of course, Graean was surprised.

So far, some of Elios' wives have made mistakes and made Graean furious. But when reprimanded, they all silently regretted it without saying much.

Usually, if the Graeans had said a rebuke, Elios' erring wives would have confined themselves in a room for at least a year.

But this kid on his knees apologizing? Justjust like?

"I don't mean to make a mistake. I don't know anything, nobody tells me. I also don't know what Narendra is and who Young Master really is."

Roxanne did not forget that the man there strangled her.

Roxanne had not forgotten that Elios wanted to kill her.

But what is it?

Who in this house has power? Who in this house has everything? Who in this house determines everything?

That's Elios. Stay Elios.

"If the Madam is offended by my mistake, I am willing to be whipped. Please, just once, I'm sorry."

Graean felt something unusual staring at Roxanne. It was a feeling he had never felt from any of Elios' wives.

He ... would really do anything for his greed.

"I don't forgive the insult to Young Master." Graean. "But if you're sorry, take care of Young Master with your own hands."

"I'll do it."

"I do not guarantee," Graean murmured, "if after that the Young Master forgave. I can only guarantee that if Young Master strangles you again, I will make your death seem to be the fault of the other Young Master's wife."

In other words, Elios will not be punished and Roxanne will die without anyone defending her.

It seemed like it was indeed a punishment for already insulting his Young Master. But Roxanne must do that or she will be hated by the Graean.

In this world, being liked by insiders was a blessing while being hated by them was a curse. Even if you have to lick, what else is there to do?

"Good."

Roxanne didn't find it very difficult. This was even quite easy after the mistake they considered fatal.

For the first time, Roxanne touches Elios directly. Viewed up close, the good looks of this person are increasingly apparent.

He has thick, plump eyelashes, firm thick eyebrows, and a charismatic eye line.

Although the corner of his lips was bleeding, his jaw was bruised and it was clear he had been beaten, Elios still looked very handsome charming.

How could he really be so handsome?

And her twin sister is amazingly beautiful. Roxanne could immediately imagine the woman's face in the painting while washing away traces of blood at the corners of Elios' lips.

She's really pretty. I don't think it's beauty that makes people hesitate to determine its value.

If it must be judged from one to one hundred, the beauty of Elios's twin is one thousand. Overreaching.

Twins and their lovers.

"Eri." Elios muttered so little that Roxanne was shocked.

But he seems to be delirious. Not moving at all even though Roxanne was washing her body again.

Even after finishing washing, Elios still messed up his twin name repeatedly.

He continued to call out to Eri; irene, Eirene, Eirene as if he could not calm down if he did not say his name.

Roxanne was just sitting there watching, being asked by the Graeans not to leave Elios and having to pay attention to him.

Until suddenly ....

Elios choked for no reason, like someone who had just woken up from a nightmare.

A little panic hit Roxanne. He didn't know what to do with Elios like that.

Especially when Elios' eyes finally opened, the man immediately stared coldly at Roxanne.

"Roxanne's."

From the way Elios mentioned his name, Roxanne instantly knew he really wanted to kill Roxanne now.
