After a long time, she grabbed the man's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "How can you agree to this? You have to know that Ivan is a madman, his so-called duel is definitely aimed at taking your life, you ......"
"I know." Stanley grabbed Violet's hand, his voice low as he replied.
Violet's eyes widened, "Since you know that, you still agreed?"
"Because I couldn't refuse, Ivan wouldn't give me the chance not to say yes." Stanley looked into her reddening eyes, "From the moment that letter arrived in my hands, it meant I took up his challenge, even if I threw that letter away, tore it up, or didn't even read it in the first place, it would have been useless."
"......" For a moment, Violet didn't say anything.
For with these words he had made her understand that the duel between their two brothers was not decided by a letter, much less made effective by a letter.
Even if Ivan did not give this letter, there would still be a duel between them, and it would even be one in which Ivan struck without a sound, catching Stanley off guard.
Having given the challenge letter, Stanley could even have made defense first.
That is was, in a sense, Ivan, this time, made a a fair duel.
"He ...... He ......" Violet's voice choked, wanting to scold Ivan, but with her upbringing, she couldn't say the slightest curse word.
Stanley knew what she meant, and with a light laugh, he took her into his arms.
Violet slapped him on the back, "You're still laughing, you still have the nerve to laugh, Ivan is thinking of killing you, and you're actually still laughing."
The more she talked, the angrier she became, and finally she couldn't help it and burst into tears, tears falling down, looking so pitiful.
Seeing that, Stanley’s heart shrank with pain.
He released a hand that was wrapped around her waist to wipe her tears.
But her tears were falling so hard he couldn't wipe them all away.
In the end, he lift her chin slightly and kiss her eyes, licking away her tears drop by drop.
Her tears were salty and slightly bitter.
Violet froze, how could she have expected the man to wipe her tears in this way, and was embarrassed to continue crying.
After all, it was not good to have him keep drinking her tears.
As she thought, Violet took a deep breath and forced herself to stop the tears that continued to seep out of her eyes.
After a while, the tears finally stopped and she stopped crying.
After Stanley felt it, his thin lips left her eyes, looking at her eyes red, he let out a low laugh, "No more crying?"
Violet grunted and did not reply.
Stanley rubbed her hair, "Okay, I know you're worried about me, but I am fine."
"You're fine now, but who knows after that?" Violet punched the man's chest, "You and Ivan's duel is inevitable, and Ivan is sinister and cunning, in case he ......"
"It won't happen." Stanley kissed her forehead, "I know you want to say that Ivan is sinister and cunning, what if I get caught in his scheme and lose my life, right?"
Violet grunted, acquiescing that this was indeed what she meant.
Stanley smiled lightly, "Don't worry, it won't happen, you still don't trust your husband?"
"I trust you, but as just said, Ivan is sinister and cunning, in case you really ...... What should I and the children do?" Violet bit her lower lip with a deadly grip.
She was really afraid that something would happen to him.
She has lost her mother and was now left with only one brother, and three children.
