Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
73

"You want to go home?"

Arkas turned to an unfamiliar voice. In front of her, a beautiful girl with her trademark petite face was smiling sweetly. Although Arkas can feel the girl's charm and anxiety, it takes him five seconds to remember her name.

"However?" ask Arkas, with a faint smile on his face. "I have to go back because my work is waiting, but I'll be back tomorrow to confirm Roxanne and Elios' condition."

Arkas wondered why Elios' wife had called him first. From his experience, only Graean and Roxanne dared to speak to him in that house. Arkas suspects they think that Arkas and Elios are the same, so they treat Arkas with fear. But Sanya is different. For this reason, Arkas enjoyed digging deeper into the meaning of the call from Sanya.

"You are watching us well, Young Master. It's something we're grateful for together."

Although Sanya smiled kindly, but Arkas' heart did not fully believe in that remark. He felt something was wrong.

After living for more than thirty years, Arkas felt he had quite understood how someone like Sanya was. Sanya likes to hide her true intentions behind fine, rambling sentences. If you are tempted, someone can be confused and difficult to understand what it really means.

Sanya added, "I feel like I've made a lot of mistakes with you guys. I don't deserve to be grateful."

But Sanya's smile and the intent of her sentence were not in line. Arkas learns that this woman actually agrees on his statement that he made a mistake and was useless.

"Then, what do you want to tell me, Sister-in-law?" ask Arkas politely.

"What do you allow?"

"Why not? Just say it."

Arkas was shocked to hear Sanya insulting her blatantly in conversation. However, he did not want to show any confusion or anger to Sanya. Arkas wondered why Elios' quiet and timid wife had suddenly shown a bold attitude now. Arkas felt like he had not faced a person like this for a long time, and he was reminiscent of Eirene.

"Then, what is your advice?" ask Arkas, trying to take the initiative.

Sanya simply rubbed her chin and turned her face to the side. "I am a foolish woman compared to your wife, Young Master, so what can I make of the advice? I can only make complaints without advice."

In Sanya's words, Arkas could sense that something was amiss. He realized that Sanya was only keeping the real intent behind the obscure words.

"Which means, 'just think for yourself'," Arkas said in his heart.

However, suddenly in conversation, Sanya mentioned about Roxanne. Arkas could sense that behind Sanya's words, there was an important message he wanted to convey.

As Arkas asked further, Sanya said, "I just want to make sure that you protect Brother Roxanne. I like him because his age is not much different from mine."

Arkas could sense that something was amiss in Sanya's words. But he felt attracted by Sanya's courage and firm attitude. He then declared, "Well, I'll make sure Roxanne doesn't fall or choke again."

But Arkas still wants to know what Sanya really means, and he will continue to pay attention to Sanya's movements.
