She panicked and tried to push him away with her hand. But his body did not move, and she had wounds on her body, how could she move him?
Finally, the strength to resist was gone. She seemed to be wrapped up in tenderness, and she did not want to resist at all.
Time passed.
Felix finally stopped.
Her body was soft, and there was even a mist in her eyes. She looked much more charming and flirtatious now than she usually was.
He gently reached out and touched her lips.
“My dear,” he said softly, “have I told you that everything that concerns you concerns me?”
Queeny was confused.
She looked at him blankly, obviously not quite understanding what he meant.
He held her hand and Queeny could feel the cocoon in the fine lines of his palm scratching into her heart with a strange touch.
“Shall we get back together?” he said in a low voice.
Queeny was more confused.
She wondered why he had changed the subject so quickly.
He was talking about something else, and now he's talking about getting back together with her.
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed gently and she shook her head.
“No.”
Felix knew that she would say so, but he refused to let go. “Why not?” he asked.
Queeny fell silent.
Felix looked her in the eye. The way they were now one on top of the other was unmistakably intimate.
But they all seemed to have other things on their minds.
He stared at her. “Are you still mad at me for what happened four years ago?”
As soon as he said that, the bad memories flooded her mind and Queeny became agitated.
She frowned. “Felix, I was in prison for four years.”
Felix nodded, “I know.”
“And you think I'll agree to get back together with you?”
But he just smiled slightly.
He reached out and gently touched her face. “I'm sorry,” he said softly. “Will you forgive me?”
Queeny was still silent.
“Or,” he added, raising his eyebrows, “you put me in jail, too, and I'll stay there for four years to make amends, okay?”
Queeny had no idea he was such a scoundrel. In her anger she instinctively tried to push him away.
She tried but she couldn’t.
She had to give up and say solemnly, “I don't want you to go to jail. I just can't forget what happened.”
She paused, and said, “After all, I trusted you with all my heart, I loved you, and all I got was betrayal and suspicion. I tried to explain to you a thousand times that I didn't kill that woman, but you never believed me, and you put me in jail. And now you want me to fall in love with you again. I’m sorry, I can’t.”
Her words were very decisive.
It was obvious that he had become solemn, too.
He looked at her and asked, “Did you suffer in prison during these four years?”
Queeny paused to think about it and said, “No, I didn’t.”
Instead of suffering, she was given an independent cell.
There was no shortage of other things in life.
Except freedom.
Felix said in a low voice, “So, if I really thought you killed Jolene, do you think those four years would have been that easy for you? Now, would I really want to keep the person who killed my cousin around?”
