To Help You Understand – Chapter 23
Winter, who was ready first, stood waiting for Violet in front of the carriage.
In the meantime, he heard from Hayel, who returned to the mansion, that Violet had one more person receiving the tenant’s rent fee.
Winter frowned upon the explanation.
“Carlson Lowe.”
Winter had also seen him several times in the capital for work. Carlson was popular wherever he went with his pretty face.
Not knowing when Winter would explode, Hayel took a step back and said.
“Well, there are many possibilities. For example, what, a tax issue?”
“Why would you divide your property into royal property? We don’t tax royal property.”
“Still?”
“Yes, still.”
However, even if it was a tax matter that was divided into private property and royal property, the reason for the existence of another recipient was unknown.
It was illegal to secretly look into his wife’s private property, so he could not ask Violet quickly.
Winter didn’t know exactly what his wife was like yet. It was the result of turning a blind eye to her for the past three years.
She didn’t seem like a person who would commit an affair or something like that, but who knows? Winter has seen countless people who commit evil acts with their angelic faces. So did Violet’s brother, Ash Lawrence. With a face that resembles his wife, he has only done things to disturb Winter.
As he lived, he was only full of distrust towards human beings. Winter flipped out the thoughts in his head.
If his wife has been having an affair because she couldn’t endure the loneliness for the past three years, then wouldn’t it be enough to kill or chase Carlson Low?
Winter was able to forgive his wife for throwing money at another man. Her love didn’t matter as much as money anyway.
Even if they mixed up their body, turned the house upside down and he had to monitor his wife for the rest of his life, but he would forgive her anyway.
As long as it wasn’t love. As long as she didn’t fall deeply in love and decide to leave him, he could forgive her somehow.
At that time, Violet was seen walking out of the door.
“Have you been waiting long?”
Winter only chinned the carriage without answering Violet’s question.
His relationship with her has only gotten a little better, and he didn’t intend to get mad at her without knowing anything.
***
From the time their son and his wife entered the dining room, Catherine and James knew that their relationship had changed. This is because they have rarely seen the two moving together.
Winter’s attitude, which was usually formal and rude, was a little different.
After finishing the meal, he drank tea, hung his index finger on the handle, as usual, did not lift the teacup, or break it with a spoon, and did not stir the tea. The couple’s mind was complicated.
Catherine spoke in a soft voice.
“There’s no place like this in the future if you move out.”
Then James said soothingly.
“It’s not like he’s moving out right away. Don’t be so sad, Catherine.”
“I know that, but…….”
Catherine wrapped her cheek in one hand with an embarrassing look.
“But I’d like both of you to stay at home a little longer if possible.”
Violet’s mouth was dry as Catherine and James openly expressed discomfort with their plan to move out. She was afraid that this persuasion would change Winter’s mind.
Violet questioned the Blooming couple’s failure to teach Winter even the simple etiquette of tea time in recent days.
Until now, she had thought that he had not changed because he was not usually stubborn. However, Winter immediately accepted what Violet told him.
Violet thought Winter’s parents might not love him as much as he thought. But it was impossible to say such harsh words. Because he believed in and didn’t doubt his parents’ love.
Catherine continued.
“Moreover, Violet, how’s your health these days?”
“Health……”
Winter intervened as Violet tried to answer with a pale face.
“It’s not good. To be honest, it was also hard to come here and sit down. It isn’t even weird if she falls down suddenly.”
The Blooming couple was thinking of turning the story of faking illness around, but when Winter answered with a firm attitude, they paused. Winter couldn’t hide his irritation and continued.
“The doctor says she has a bad headache. That dog-like quack.”
Winter, who saw his parents’ surprised eyes, coughed and continued.
“The incompetent doctor was using a bad-quality medicine that didn’t have any use now. What’s more, the medicine causes headaches. The quack must have paid for the medication in the middle, so I’m going to put him in jail somehow.”
“Oh, my God, is that so? I didn’t even know that!”
Catherine was surprised, covering her mouth with her hands, and held Violet’s hand and asked.
“Dear, are you okay now?”
Violet’s hand trembled slightly.
Whenever she met Mr. and Mrs. Blooming, she felt strange. In the early days of marriage, she thought that she was fine and the world was crazy, but gradually she changed her mind into thinking that she was crazy when the world was fine.
Violet barely smiled with her trembling mouth.
“Yes, I’m fine now.”
Catherine held Violet’s hand tightly in her hands and stroked it as if she was worried.
Persuasion to stop their plan to move out continued, but contrary to Violet’s concerns, Winter did not change his mind at all.
James then asked Violet to bring up the main purpose of the meal today.
“So. Why do you want to move out so badly, Violet?”
“Father, about moving out, I……”
“You don’t have to wrap it up, Winter. As a father, I know better. You who have lived here since you’re 12 wouldn’t have brought up about moving out first. Violet, maybe you……”
James took a break and continued.
“Did you think it would be better to have children and raise them in the capital?”
Violet paused at his words and looked at Winter.
Then Winter said, “I’ve already said I won’t have children.”
“Winter.”
Winter pretended not to hear when Violet called his name with a bitter face.
“If you’re done eating, let’s get up first.”
Violet sighed trembling as she saw him getting up from his seat.
Then James, who confirmed that Winter had left, asked Violet with a slightly angry look.
“What is he talking about? What does he mean by not going to have a child?”
“My husband doesn’t want children.”
“Then you have to persuade him. Would he have said that if he had something to put his mind to at home?”
Then Catherine who’s next to him stopped him.
“You know Winter’s stubbornness. Once he makes up his mind, no matter who persuades him, he won’t listen. Violet, what are you doing? Not going out and comforting him.”
“……Then I’ll get up first.”
Violet excused herself and followed Winter.
When both of them went out, James said.
“Surely, Violet doesn’t know yet that Winter and she can’t have children.”
“It looks like it.”
Catherine agreed.
***
With Winter’s personality, Violet thought he would have left first, but he was unexpectedly waiting for her.
Violet stopped in front of Winter and glanced at him. When it came to child problems, he also didn’t want to back down, so he didn’t say anything first.
She couldn’t figure out why he hated the idea of a child. Besides, he didn’t even explain why. When the talk of children came out, he just shut up and it was over.
While the two were still facing each other, Winter opened his mouth first.
“Don’t.”
“…….”
“You said you wanted to move out, and I listened.”
“I’m going to convince you.”
“I won’t stop you from doing that, but I won’t change my mind.” Winter replied.
Still, Violet’s heart was a little relieved when he said that he would not stop her from persuading him. Besides, thanks to him swearing at the doctor earlier, she won’t be accused of faking her pain for the time being. Violet asked.
“Are you going to the capital right away?”
“I have to go. Rather, you didn’t dispose of any of the lands I gave you, did you? That’s why you don’t have such a thing as a gem.”
“So all the things I’ve had from the royal family aren’t all right?”
“Yeah, they’re all old-fashioned. It’s out of trend.”
Violet’s eyes narrowed at Winter’s ferocious, cold words.
Winter’s temperature was rising and he was going crazy when he looked at the expression that his wife made every time he said something that was “rude in Violet’s standard”. He hated looking at it, but he didn’t know why that expression moved him. He wondered if he really had an abnormal sexual desire.
He, who had no one to follow in the South due to his brazenness, avoided his wife’s eyes and said.
“Anyway. So buy something new today.”
“I don’t need anything. Not stuff…… There’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”
“Wait.”
Winter had a trauma when he first asked his wife to have a conversation, and she said there was something she wanted to say.
What did she say, it was something similar to ‘something you don’t want to keep and but a waste to throw away.’
She has no conscience. How can there be a fool to endure such terrible anger, pain, joy, and depression because of things that are not worth throwing away in the world?
While he was avoiding her, Violet reached out her hand carefully and held Winter’s hand. Then she looked up at him and smiled faintly.
“I want to hold hands.”
Winter, whose trauma disappeared so quickly that he felt pathetic about the action, glanced at Violet.
“……What is this?”
“The first time I held your hand at the wedding hall. I was so nervous at that time. The man I’ve never seen before became my husband, but I didn’t know what to do from there on, so I held your hand first. It was amazing that your hands were so big.”
“So?”
“But you lost all your money that day because of my brother. So I felt sorry for letting your hand go that day.”
Violet regretted it.
She should’ve held on to it that day. She should’ve followed him.
If that happened would he have hated her a little less?
Winter, who was looking at the hand held, asked.
“So, is this all you want to do?”
Not knowing what else touched his temper, Winter’s expression was on the verge of explosion. Anyway, it was amazing how she didn’t know his fire-like personality for the past three years. Violet had never seen such a severe hot temper in her life.
She still couldn’t tell when her husband was angry or not at all. She thought he was angry, but the corners of his mouth were a little twitchy…….
“Now you’re…… angry, aren’t you?”
When Violet asked, Winter shouted.
“No! Why couldn’t you hold my hand all this time? You could just hold it like this!”
“Well, it was hard to find a time when you weren’t busy.”
Winter, who was angry at Violet’s frustrating words, stopped.
Winter was not familiar with Violet holding hands until just now.
As she said, Violet held his hand at the wedding hall, held his hand to ask for a moment, and held his hand with a wounded hand asking for a talk on his father’s birthday last time.
This was not familiar to him because she always held his hand first.
Whenever his wife held his hands, he always let go first. Because his time was always on the job.
The more he saw it, the more he found out that his thoughts and his wife’s have never met. He was going to buy her everything she wanted, but why does his wife only want to hold hands?
He wondered what kind of thing the two would love. People who have different expectations like this.
Winter pulled his hand out first again this time. Then, Winter tried to pull her hand into his arm and once again grabbed Violet’s hand tightly to see if she was familiar with it. Violet’s hand was held in Winter’s hand.
“Let’s go.”
“I think you should go to work. You know, Hayel’s looking anxious over there.”
“Tell him to do it on his own. If he didn’t go back because I don’t have one, is that a company? It’s a local corner store.”
Winter answered back and led her to the carriage. Violet kept looking back because she was worried about Hayel, who was stamping his feet behind her but couldn’t beat Winter’s stubbornness, and got on the wagon.
However, Winter, who had abandoned outdated items and bought new ones, asked the coachman for the direction that the two lived in, not the busy street outside the estate.
Violet who got off the carriage asked.
“Weren’t you trying to get to the main street?”
Then Winter said while headed to the widest parlor on the second floor of the mansion.
“Do I look so free?”
“In the last few days.”
“……Anyway, I don’t have time to walk around there and buy stuff. We’ll call the main street here.”
He grunted while climbing up the stairs.
