"No!" No matter how emotional Violet was, her tone was tinged with begging, but Stanley still didn't agree to her staying and must ask her to leave.
Violet's teeth were biting down on her lower lip so hard that her lips were about to break the skin.
Stanley's heart seized at the sight, reaching out with his thumb to smooth the corner of her mouth, "Don't bite."
"Don’t mind me!" Violet slapped his hand away in anger, not wanting him to touch herself.
He had just rejected her so coldly, and now he came to care for her, why bother?
Of course Stanley knew that she was angry, his thin lips pursed, very self-condemned.
But he had no choice but to be so ruthless for her safety.
"Anyway, after the competition, you will go and meet up with the children, don't worry about me, I promised you before that I would come back alive and return to you and the children. I will never go back on my word, so you have to listen, okay?" Stanley's eyes were deep as he looked at Violet.
Violet knew that he was determined to let her go because he was worried about her, cared for her and was afraid that she would be taken away by Ivan when the time came.
However, if she really had to leave, leaving him alone to face Ivan, she did not know any news about him, did not know whether he was in danger or not, how could she settle down, how could she stay quietly with her children?
"Stanley, are you really determined and not going to change your mind?" Violet clenched her palms and looked at the man with complicated eyes.
He nodded.
Violet took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "I know, go out, I don't want to see you now, and don't come into the room with me, you find your own room."
Stanley's eyes widened, "What do you mean? You're kicking me out?"
He never had imagined that one day he would be kicked out of his room by his own wife.
He had previously heard Fraser say that he had been kicked out of Linda's room after upsetting her.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he laughed at Fraser in his heart for having no status and actually being kicked out of the room.
He didn't expect that he would be kicked out too.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, "Violet, you ......"
"Get out!" Violet didn't want to hear him talk, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
The man moved quickly to catch the pillow without being hit by it, but his brow, however, frowned deeply.
He was not angry at the woman's behavior, because he was also aware that it was his own actions that had made the woman angry in this way.
So he didn't have the nerve to be angry about it either.
Stanley looked at Violet's angry face, and then at the pillow in his hand.
Finally, he put the pillow back on the bed and coughed softly, "I know you're angry in your heart at my decision, but I'm doing it for your own good."
"I know, but it is not what I want, what I want is simple, that is to be with you. I know you are afraid that Ivan will hurt me then, or use me to threaten you, so that you will most likely not be able to protect me or save me in time, but this is what I am willing to do, I can't let you face it alone. If you and I can be able to contact each other, I don't know how you are doing, and my heart can't rest in peace, Stanley, do you know that or not?"
She touched her heart.
Stanley suddenly bent down and took her into his arms, placing his chin on her shoulder, his voice low, "I know, of course I know, but I'd rather you be scared for me than for your safety, at least you are safe and sound."
"You ......" Violet was furious.
She had said so insistently that she just wanted to be with him, but he still didn't agree.
It seemed that they really could not talk anymore.
