I pushed him away and said, “Stanley, I know the one you love is Xenia, not me!”
When I said that, I watched as Stanley’s expression turned completely dark. At the same time, Xenia, behind him, also gave me the same icy stare.
“Selene, no matter what, I will not divorce you!”
He looked at me and said coldly, “I know you are throwing a tantrum. Don’t worry, I will forgive your temper and treat you as well as I did before."
I didn’t speak, only stared at the cross pendant on his neck.
At the same time, I understood that if I kept entangling with Stanley, perhaps next time, I would die.
Thinking of this, I smiled faintly and said, “Stanley, sorry, I was impulsive!”
Seeing me give in, Stanley instantly showed a gentle smile and said softly to me, “Don’t worry! Selene, I won’t blame you!”
“I know that because I went to handle Xenia’s funeral, you were unhappy!”
In the following days, Stanley was almost always by my side. I knew he wanted to keep an eye on me.
But all I wanted to do was to leave. Especially at night, when I went to sleep, I could see Xenia’s eyes staring at me, looking extremely terrifying. For me, these days were like a nightmare. Every time, I felt fear and dread.
Finally, since I made no moves for the past few days, Stanley relaxed a little.
“Selene, I’m going out for a while, you stay at home and wait for me!” Stanley said as he looked at me.
Hearing his words, I behaved extra obediently and quickly replied, “Stanley, you'd better go now!” Don’t worry, I’ll definitely wait for you at home!”
My words made Stanley finally feel at ease and he hurriedly left after that.
But as I watched his back while leaving, my heart was already panicking. Because when Stanley left, I even saw Xenia make a turn and smile at me. That smile looked especially sinister, which made me feel even more scared.
I pretended not to see her smile, but kept smiling as I watched Stanley leave, even obediently waving my hand at him.
Seeing my action, Stanley relaxed again and then hurried away.
The moment he left, I immediately packed everything and rushed back to my hometown as fast as possible.
Stanley didn’t know that my grandmother used to be the most famous convent keeper in our place. Since I was little, I followed her and naturally learned some skills.
And this time, I had to leave quickly. As long as I returned to my hometown, I would be safe.
