To Help You Understand – Chapter 26
The house where Violet lived was full of valuable and difficult-to-obtain items.
Ella knew her son-in-law was a conglomerate, but she never felt this way. The trolley pushed by a maid was full of tea leaves from all over the world, and the teacups put down on the table were each studded with finely cut jewels.
Ella opened her mouth.
“I guess my son-in-law makes a lot of money.”
“There are many kinds of cars because my husband works as an importer. I’ll take care of it when you go and if you need it. I think they import chocolate, too. And then……”
As Violet agonized, Flip, who was carrying a basket of chocolates, quickly said.
“He also imports horses.”
“Oh, I heard so. Where and how are horses being imported……?”
Violet said as if she didn’t understand. Winter didn’t know how to ride a horse, but he had an eye for it. It was amazing.
Ella looked at the garden overlooking the spacious and colorful drawing room. It was inevitable that she kept thinking about her son whom she felt sorry for.
She continued.
“Violet, didn’t you say it yourself? You don’t get along very well with your husband. Wouldn’t it be better for you to have a child in this situation?”
“Even if you say so..….”
Ella sat down and kept talking about the child over and over again until the tea cooled down. It was concluded that even if Violet keeps making an excuse for Winter, it would be okay to persuade.
When Violet was in trouble, she heard clopping of a horse’s hooves outside. Violet jumped up.
“My husband’s here. I’ll go get him.”
“Sure.”
When Ella allowed it, Violet ran out of there. Violet was tired of the child’s talk that she couldn’t help herself. So she was determined to argue with Winter.
But before she could say anything, Winter walked with a cool-headed look on his face and grabbed his wife by the arm. Then he took off his gloves without saying a word and began to check her fingers one by one.
Violet, who missed the timing to argue, asked him, folding her fingers and pulling out her hand.
“Have you been well?”
“Oh, you can know when you see it.”
Winter answered half-heartedly and unfolded her folded white fingers. After checking both hands, he checked her face and neck and found out that there was no wound, so he looked at Violet. Winter, who found her absurd gaze, pulled her two hands together and said as if he was making excuses.
“Just in case you were locked up somewhere again, and you wouldn’t tell me. I’m gonna check it out. Is there anything else?”
Then, she heard a voice from behind.
“What do you mean? Locked up?”
Ella, who had to go out to meet her son-in-law even though they’re like strangers, asked. Winter was about to answer right away, but Violet hurriedly said.
“It’s nothing.”
“Is that so?”
Ella seemed suspicious, but she couldn’t imagine her daughter would have been locked up somewhere, and what more she couldn’t even imagine that the cause of it was her good and poor son-in-law.
Winter said hello.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“Long time no see.”
Ella greeted him back with her unique cold voice, turned around, and headed back to the drawing room. When she left, Violet sighed and looked at Winter.
“Please keep it a secret.”
“Mother-in-law should know what kind of man her son is.”
“Since the death of my oldest brother, my second older brother has been the world to my mother. But no matter what, violence…… she’ll be a little shocked.”
Winter tried to talk but closed his mouth again.
At first, when he heard that his wife wanted to die, he thought of how weak she was. But the more he knew about her, the more he knew that she had no place to rely on.
The more he knew, the more he thought that it was a relief to know it was not too late. Maybe, just maybe it’s not something that he didn’t know. That worldly thing.
In relief, Violet asked him.
“Can we change bodies for a while?”
“Why?”
“You’re the one who doesn’t want to have children, but I’m the one that has to listen to the nagging. You should listen to it. Besides, I haven’t even finished gardening yet.”
“If you work in the garden, they would still think of you as a noble lady, but if you work in my body, anyone would think that you’re just a gardener.”
Winter was so grumpy on the outside, but whenever a talk about the child was mentioned, he felt like his blood was being drained. He couldn’t expect the reaction of his wife when she found out about it as if it had been broken somewhere in the past.
“Anyway, I have something to talk to you regarding the child. When mother-in-law is gone, let’s have a talk.”
“Oh…… I’m sorry, what should I do? I have an appointment.”
Winter has come to a standstill. Violet continued.
“There’s a book club at the silk store on Leon Road. Merchants and low-ranking officials are coming.”
“Why do you think you’re a good fit for a silk shop or something? Anyway, I’ll also go.”
“I want to make friends in the south as well. And only those invited can enter.”
“Is it that hard to talk about something?”
Winter, speaking in a fit of anger, was offended by her words. Violet must have felt it, as she answered back, countering her husband.
“You said you were coming a week ago, but you came too late, so the schedule overlapped.”
“It’s because I didn’t go there twice, but solved it at once!”
When Winter was upset, Violet looked at him as if she were looking at a stubborn child and sighed heavily.
“I’ll be back early.”
“Damn it.”
Winter was also annoyed that she treated him like a child, but he stepped back.
***
Ella had already nagged enough and soon left the mansion. Winter took Ella to his nearest hotel and immediately returned home.
When he returned to the mansion, Violet was just getting ready to go out. Flip was seen covering Violet with a parasol. Wearing white lace gloves, Violet reached out to Flip.
“I’ll take care of the parasol.”
“It’s heavy, so I’ll hold it.”
“My husband wouldn’t look down on me as much as you do.”
“W-what do you mean by look down on you! It’s not like that at all!”
When Flip freaked out, Violet smiled as if she had been joking. Flip eventually passed the parasol, but suddenly Winter snatched it suddenly, holding its shaft. Then he asked while looking at Flip with a crumpled expression.
“I still haven’t fired you yet?”
“Yes, You drank while thinking about whether to fire me or not. Rather, you left me to do important work.”
At Flip’s words, Winter tightened his hold on the parasol. He couldn’t help it. In this mansion, Flip was the most precious thing to Violet, so he was asked to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn’t get hurt.
When Winter eventually snapped the shaft of the parasol, Violet said in surprise,
“Winter, watch your hands.”
Winter clicked his tongue and threw the parasol away, and placed one hand over Violet’s head, where the sun was.
“Go buy a new parasol at Leon Road.”
“I’ll fix that and use it. It was something that I cherished.”
“You can make ten of the same things.”
Although the parasol was broken, Violet was not in a bad mood. Even though she complained and said that she cherished the parasol, his hand, which covered her face from the sun, lifted her mood.
Her heart had become heavier because the child’s talks felt more comfortable.
It was partly because Violet began to resign more and more easily to the things she couldn’t have, but this moment was really just a simple happiness for her.
Violet stopped and looked at Winter’s hand, held out her hand and gently put it on his.
She was doing it for a long time as it was interesting, then looked back at Winter and smiled.
“The sun is all over your hands. Let’s go around like this often.”
“…….”
When he saw his wife smiling lovingly until her eyes were curved, a huge bell rang loudly in Winter’s head.
‘What’s this? Why does my wife like it so much?’
‘And where is this bell coming from all of a sudden……?’
Violet was surprised and her eyes grew bigger.
“I’ll be late like this.”
As she hurried into the carriage, Winter put one foot on it as if to keep it from leaving and said.
“Wait a minute.”
He rummaged through his wallet and handed out a piece of paper that read Leon Road.
“This is the currency used in Leon Road. Buy some food for the book club people with this.”
“Oh, thank you for caring.”
Violet took the paper without rejecting it.
***
“Will the princess come?”
“How could she come? To this kind of merchants’ meeting.”
“But her husband is of mixed Canic descent.”
“No, is Mr. Winter Blooming just a mixed Canic race? He owns all the land here in the main street.”
The people who gathered at Maureen’s Silk Shop Book Club were all restless. It was not only embarrassing for the princess to join such a small gathering of people with only money. She wasn’t even just a princess, but a princess whose husband is Winter Blooming.
As about 5 minutes passed by the meeting time, all was sure that she wasn’t coming.
At the same time, the sound of the door opening was heard and people looked towards the door at once.
A woman was standing there. Despite her modest appearance, everyone in the meeting immediately noticed that she was Violet Blooming.
She has a straight posture and facial expression, and a distinctive rigid softness that can make her opponent nervous.
“I heard there’s a book club going on here, did I get it right?”
When Violet asked, Paula, one of the people rolling her eyes, raised her body.
“That’s right. Come on in.”
“Sorry for being late from day one.”
As Violet spoke, she sat in a chair with her name tag on it and put the book on her lap. The silk shop owner, Maureen, was restless and asked.
“Um, the chair must be uncomfortable…… Oh, no big deal, princess.”
Violet’s attention to the person who talked to her was burdensome, so Maureen shook her hand in the middle of the talk. Then Violet smiled and said.
“Thank you for inviting me to a comfortable and fragrant store.”
Maureen glanced at Violet again. Violet was a person who creates a more difficult atmosphere than her concerns, but at the same time, she had a strange affinity. Perhaps the same is true of others, but they soon forgot about the stranger, and the book club began.
The debate was prolonged. The book club took longer than all of them had expected.
“I’m getting hungry.”
As if only remembering when someone said that, Violet took out the paper Winter gave her.
“Now that I think about it, my husband gave me something like this to treat you to a meal. Can I use it here?”
It was a bill bearing Winter Blooming’s name and Leon Road’s seal. All of the people there who were business-related with Winter were pale and jumped up.
There was only one reason why Winter Blooming served meals to people involved in work.
‘If you don’t want to cut the deal with me, let’s do well from now on.’
Violet had a grudge against her husband, but she didn’t know he was a man who would do as many bad things as he wanted. Violet was the only person on Leon Road who didn’t know about it.
The people at the meeting were busy figuring out why Winter asked his wife to buy them a meal.
Is he just asking them to be nice to his wife, or to send her back, or is he asking them to hold her here for a long time……
