Chapter 34 I Never Blamed You

The moment Micah spoke, the crowd exploded.

“Gosh! Marrying your child to such a fierce female! He’s bound to suffer!”

“Exactly! That mother is way too cruel!”

Themis never expected Micah to expose everything in public. She panicked and shouted, “Enough! Stop talking!”

Micah gave a bitter smile. His eyes then turned cold as he spoke slowly, word by word. “Now that I finally have a matriarch who truly loves and respects me, you want her to leave me!”

Themis persuaded him gently, “Rosalie is bossy and rude. I’m only doing this for your sake.” Rosalie stepped forward and pulled Micah tightly behind her, blocking Themis’s sharp, predatory stare.

“I may be a little.”

poor and struggling,” she said firmly, “but I will never mistreat my husband. Not even

Her voice rang out clearly. It hit Micah straight in the chest, making his breath unsteady. The males around them looked on with open envy.

Most matriarchs they knew were weak and unable to do any hard labor. If they were upset, they used their fists instead of words.

But Micah’s matriarch had just spoken words like this-steady, strong, and fearless.

Everyone present had seen how capable Rosalie was. She sold meat herself and let her husband rest. That was something no one had ever seen before.

As for Themis calling her bossy and cruel, that was ridiculous. If any male could marry a female like Rosalie, it would be a blessing earned over lifetimes.

“Mother,” Micah asked softly, “do you really hate seeing me living comfortably? “Do you have to push things until she casts me out?”

His head hung low. A mist filled his eyes, and clear tears slid down his pale cheeks. The sight made people’s hearts ache.

At last, the crowd could no longer stay silent. One by one, they stepped forward to speak against Themis.

Themis clenched her teeth in anger. She never imagined that after marrying, Micah would

become so bold and calculating. She even thought bitterly that she should have tied him back then and sent him to that crippled woman’s house and let her torture Micah until his death.

Unable to face the rising voices, Themis shot Micah a vicious glare and walked away.

up

With the main figure gone, the crowd slowly dispersed. Elijah leaned against a corner; for the first time, he looked at Rosalie seriously.

She was so small, but she had taken that whip head-on without flinching. Calm, steady, and full of reason. Interesting.

Much better than the one before.

Furious, Themis headed back to the tribe. On the way, she ran into Reva.

Themis stormed back in such a sorry state, but Reva showed no disgust. She stepped forward and took Themis’s hand. “Themis, what happened to you?”

Themis instantly put on a pitiful look. She wiped at tears that weren’t there. “Reva, I was worried Micah was suffering. I brought money today to help him buy his freedom.

“But your sister is arrogant and wild. When she heard what I said, she splashed pig blood right in my face.

“She insulted me again and again. I’m old, but I had to endure being yelled at by a young woman like her.”

A sharp light flashed in Reva’s eyes. She patted the back of Themis’s hand and said firmly, “Don’t worry, Themis. I’ll report this to Mother. Rosalie will be punished properly for her disobedience.”

Micah sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of herbal medicine. His eyes were full of pain as he looked at the injury on Rosalie’s collarbone.

The wound was badly swollen and looked alarming.

Rosalie tilted her head. The animal hide on her shoulder slipped down slightly, exposing her sharp shoulder line. Her pale skin trembled when it touched the cold medicine.

“Does it hurt?” Micah asked.

Rosalie shook her head gently. “It doesn’t hurt.”

That only made Micah hurt more. He opened his mouth, then lowered his gaze. His voice was
