Aileen’s whole mind is blurry now, as if even she is given a century worth of time, she will still be unable to figure out what exactly is going on, it is like since after this time that she slit her wrists wanting to commit suicide, that he has been treating her better and better now, what in the world is happening?
Can it be that Richard is indeed afraid of her leaving his side? But how can a devil like him care about whether she is dead or living, but if he does not care about herself, then why is he adoring her so much?
No, no, this must be all in her imagination, she cannot allow herself to sink into his adoration again, because this kind of feeling feels too made up, all these cannot be real, but…
So Aileen frets about it there for half a day.
Not long after, Richard comes in holding a bowl of congee.
“This is some congee that I’ve just made, try it, it might make you have a bit more of an appetite, but I know that these things may not be tasty, but trust me, I will bring you to have better food after, when you’re healed, we will go and travel the world.”
Richard does not realise that he is talking about this non-stop around Aileen, like they are already married for a long time, now their relationship is getting very unclear, he is clearly adoring her to the extremes.
But now how they are behaving like is indeed boyfriend and girlfriend, so why does she still feel inside a feeling of surreal?
Her heart clearing thinks of another man, Aileen knows that she is now so close with him and wants to impress him is because she wants to find out about Aaron’s whereabouts, but how has that come to this?
Furthermore, there is a huge question that is troubling her.
“Did you just say that this congee is made by you?” Her eyes still remain widened, as she mechanically says these words, but Richard does not think much about it, as if this is just normal to him.
“Your body is not so well right now, it will be better if you take some light congee, I’m not too relaxed about letting the servants do something like this, so I cooked myself, it might be a little hot, allow me to feed you.”
Saying this, he actually used the spoon to pick up the congee, and blows on the congee with his mouth, his movements looks trained, like he is very good at taking care of people, so is the man before her actually nursing herself carefully? Aileen has never thought that there will be a day like this.
“Why are you suddenly so good to me?” He even planned for her to be in his future plans, this is even shocking for Aileen, because when the man before her speaks just now, it does not feel like he is lying, as if all of these is coming from a sincere heart.
If he sincerely wants to be together with her, but why does she feel not happy at all, but rather a weird heaviness.
