I shook off his hand. "Azure, don't flatter yourself. You can forget the pain of losing your mother, but I owe an explanation to her!"
But he still thought I was just desperately in love with him. "Violet, you're a gentle girl. How could you be jealous of Seraphina..."
I was about to say something when I felt a sharp pain rose from my abdomen.
I understood.
I held back my tears. As long as I didn't comply with him, the insect from the curse would gnaw at me day by day.
My face turned pale, and I finally gave in. "I'm sorry."
He suddenly became flustered again. "This is the right attitude. Violet, I know you're a good girl. Let's go back to how things were."
"How things were? The way I catered to your every whim and obeyed you completely?" I thought.
I didn't want to argue with him anymore, but he seemed to want to have a long discussion.
Raven, like a savior, stood in front of me again.
"Can't you see Violet doesn't look well? Azure." He was as gentle and polite as ever, but his tone was firm.
