Chapter 65 - 65. Truth About The Douglass

"How about Choon-hee? Do you like what Edwards said? Do you want to marry him? Or do you want to get out of this house? It's all in your hands, in fact I'm not a beggar." Mrs. Douglas interrupted my silence, I glanced at Edwards. he just kept quiet and stared at the plate in front of him with a strange look.

Why can't I defend him at all?

"I... I... I didn't know what ... ummmm..," i said in gasp. this wasn't the situation I wanted to feel. I mean, I'm in the mood to be okay without talking too monotonous and also complicated like now. How can Grandma Lecy say that she doesn't like to beg? even though the rest of the Douglas Family have been begging me for a long time, Ahh.. they are so arrogant, I'm getting pissed off now!

"You don't want to marry me? I try to repay all the kindness you did in the past, won't we both benefit from this marriage? I repay your kindness by creating a good image and clear status for you. You become Mrs Douglas if you can give birth to us. a birth of a son for Douglass Family, you will also be respected and get a lot of recognition from everyone. Then me? I got a child from you and paid off the debt I promised in the past. How about it? Do you want it? This only lasts for a moment, Until the child we'll be three or four years old." Edwards told me.

Is this a sweet proposal? Or is this just a proposal that will end tragically?

Who made many dramas and sweet stories about a poor woman marrying a rich man she will become a queen? Who made such a sweet story?

Don't you guys know! That the poor will still be seen as very poor! the rich will control us like their Puppets! ckckck.. i can't believe it, the world has never been fair to those of us who have nothing in our hand..

This family asked me to be a part of their family, With such impudent coercion and insults. then what can i do? refuse? in fact I've fallen into their trap first, I can't move freely. my feet and hands on iron chains, my mouth can still say no or maybe reject everything their asked to me.

But my body? my body is already under their control. I might still be able to walk out of the big door at the other end. But did you know that once the door opens, I will become a useless corpse? My name will only be a bad name, my corpse will be thrown into the garbage dump and not found by anyone else.

I chuckled about everything I just realized now, how could I have been so stupid all this time? I only think about money, I only think that I can find my mother and my father. but it looks like they're not really going to get me what I want.

They gave sweet words at the beginning, then set a trap and kept me imprisoned in a golden cage. Like hungry rats, they know my weakness.

"All right, we'll get married. as you wish, but don't forget that I'm asking for some rights that will be mine." I said slowly, I smiled sweetly. following the game set by the Douglas Family at this time.

My eyes were already on the food in front of me again, then I took a bite of the roast duck. ahh.. it's not as good as before, why? because I'm in a bad mood right now.

"Good! You're a smart kid Choon-hee. Edwards., We can get married after finding out she's pregnant or not as soon as possible. Don't ever contradict Grandma again, If you really want to love Violet completely. This is the last warning." There is a real threat from the voice emitted by Grandma Lecy. I'm just plugging my ears right now.

what exactly is the meaning of the threat? didn't it say that the Douglas Family couldn't touch Violet at all, but why did Granny Lecy's Threats sound like they wanted to kill Violet?

I heard Edwards' breathing that was up and down, I knew he was scared right now.

I pretended that I didn't know anything, now I have to be wary of this family. So I feel that the intention of the entire Douglas family are psychopaths. Their faces looked gentle, kind and not arrogant. But if you feel more deeply, they are like wearing masks everyday in their life.

due to the fact that their real faces were much worse than this, I gently held Edwards' hand. and those hands are really cold right now, Edwards afraid? is he was afraid of his grandmother's words ?

"I'm done eating, Edwards? Do you want to go to your room? Maybe we can do something sweet." I said to Edwards, he gave me a beautiful smile. then he nodded and I immediately got up from my seat slowly.

"Thanks for dinner, I'll be back in my room." I told them they just nodded and ignored me.

Edwards hand I really held tightly, I pulled gently. I want him to know that I am always there for him, I help him to walk well.

Edwards still heard the sound of breath that was so rough, his breath was like someone who finished running fast.

We got into the elevator, then the elevator closed making the atmosphere very awkward. "I'm sorry, couldn't save yourself from all this." Edwards' words made me turn to look at him.

"What do you mean?". I asked, making sure he was talking to me.

"umm.. nothing." Edwards said again, I stared intently at him. so wondering why he seems to be evading what he said before?

The elevator clinked open, we got out of there. I was still holding Edwards' hand tightly when I had just opened the door. Edwards held my hand, he looked me in the eye for a moment. there are millions of feelings from the look in his eyes. but I can't guess what all this means?

"What?." I asked, and he just shook his head slowly.

"Come on in. Don't say anything." that was all I heard in Edwards' voice. We finally got into our room.

The door was closed again, I tried to pay attention to my surroundings. These rooms do look ordinary and nothing has changed, but for some reason I feel that everything feels strange. is there anything different? No..

I tried to sit on one of the sofa, took my cellphone which was lying on the table.. I chose to browse social media, leaving Edwards, who is now opening his laptop and busy with work.
