Since then, Hugh had hated me until now.
He hated that I didn't firmly refuse this absurd marriage and that I separated him from his love.
I had nothing to say about that.
It gradually became his reason to insult me and not love me.
I didn't know how long I had slept, but when I woke up, the sun had already set.
Vaguely, I heard familiar voices coming from downstairs.
"Hugh, I'm allergic to pollen... Can you get them all removed?"
When I heard the crucial part, I opened my eyes at once. I lifted the blanket and stumbled downstairs.
"Hugh, let's destroy here and build a swimming pool. Flowers will die soon. They're practically useless."
"OK. Whatever you say."
"What are you doing?"
When I arrived, a group of workers had already uprooted the flowers in the corner of the wall. The blooming flowers fell to the ground, dim and lifeless.
"Hey, a small box?"
The worker took out a box and looked at Trina and Hugh with confusion.
"Don't move!"
I rushed over to try to snatch the box, but Trina beat me to it and quickly grabbed the box.
"Why are you so flustered? You hid it here? It's not some nasty secret, is it?"
"Shut up!"
I gathered my strength and slapped Trina hard.
Trina's head tilted under my great strength. When she came back to her senses, she glared at me fiercely.
"Give it back to me!"
I roared, but she wasn't afraid at all.
"It's just a box, Ava. Apologize to her!"
I stood still, trembling all over, tears streaming down my face, feeling like my heart had been torn apart.
Seeing me like this, Hugh was also furious. He grabbed the box from Trina's hand and glared at me fiercely.
"Do you really have to make a scene just for a box?"
"Hugh, leave him alone!" I rushed up but was held down by his security guards and couldn't move.
Please, Hugh, I beg you.
Don't touch him. Don't make me hate you even more...
I looked at him with tears in my eyes, but seeing that, he was more curious to know what was inside the box.
"Don't touch him, Hugh..."
I looked at him desperately, using all my strength.
Perhaps my expression was too terrifying. Anyway, Hugh seemed hesitant.
He looked at me and then at the box, not knowing what to do with it.
At this moment, Trina patted him and said, "Forget it, Hugh, maybe it is really important to her."
Having been married to him for so long, I hardly had any secrets from him, let alone anything that I particularly cared about.
