Chapter 11%
Richard’s face was pale and he grabbed my arm with shaking hands. “Quinni, is that you? The girl who saved me that year is you? Why don’t you say it to me?“}
I chuckled, “I was locked up after escaping from death and I don’t even know who you are.“>
Richard shouted anxiously, “When we separated, I clearly told you my name was Richard and asked you to find me. Why didn’t I see you wearing this amulet?“}
I thought about it and it seemed that he called my name, but unfortunately the wind was too strong and I was only thinking about avoiding the pursuit, so I didn’t hear it at all.
As for the amulet, I was lucky to escape and I thought it was the amulet that blessed me. As a little kid, I put it around my mother’s neck, hoping that it would bless her to get better.}
“I gave it to my mother, you know she has always been in poor health.”
If I hadn’t overheard the conversation that day, how would I know that the amulet belonged to Richard and how could I have thought that the little boy I saved would be him.§
Time had passed and we were no longer the same as we were before. The moment I knew the truth, I wanted to tell the truth, but I didn’t want to bind Richard with gratitude. That kind of life was not the life I wanted.
Richard stared at me with red eyes and trembling lips, “Quinni, don’t leave me!“}
1 looked outside the door and saw a tall and thin figure striding towards me. I smiled gently and strode forward.
“Are you done, lady? Your mom is waiting for us.“}
Richard’s face changed immediately. He was staring at the hand holding me and his voice suddenly rose, “Quinni, you’d better explain it to me clearly, what’s going on?“}
I spoke impatiently, “Is it necessary to explain? We are divorced, have you forgotten?“}
Richard’s face suddenly became ugly. He pulled my hand, “Quinni, I was wrong, please don’t leave me, I really didn’t know you were my savior, please forgive me.“>
I looked at Richard coldly, “Forgive you? Forgive for saving you then you’re repaying my kindness with betrayal now?”
I slapped him in the face with my backhand, “Richard, if you can get our son to forgive you, then I will forgive you.” As I said that, I lifted the hem of my skirt, took Dimitri’s arm and turned to leave.}
Behind me, Richard collapsed on the ground, holding his head and pulling his hair, “No, it’s not like that. I really love you. It’s all my fault.“> Dimitri took me to a courtyard in the suburbs, where a pair of gray–haired old people were happily decorating the restaurant.
“Quinni, here, come in quickly.“}
My mother–in–law was so happy that she didn’t know what to take. She brought me cakes and fruits and finally put the imperial green bracelet on my wrist.
“Child, this is what my mother left me. I hope you like it.“}
I was about to refuse in panic, but my father–in–law stuffed a black card into my hand. “Girl, your mother–in–law and I don’t know what you like. You can buy anything with this.“}
That day, I was spoiled like a child for the first time and I experienced warmth and comfort for the first time. Through communication, I learned that Dimitri had never been interested in women, but liked to fight with a group of old men.
My parents–in–law introduced him to many famous ladies, but he just didn’t like them and didn’t even want to see them. In the blink of an eye, he was 35 years old and the two old people were worried about heart disease.}
The Lafayette Family had been a single–line family for generations and it seemed that it was ruined by Dimitri. A few days ago, Dimitri suddenly came back and said he was getting married, so the two old people were ready. Seeing the new daughter–in–law almost made them faint.
