My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 2 ]

Chapter 128: Promises Should Be Kept (4)

༺ Promises Should Be Kept (4) ༻

As dust rose from the wall where Dowd was hurled at, Riru gasped for breath and lifted herself up.

[...It's my first time seeing someone throw away a meal given on a silver platter so spectacularly.]

Such words trickled out from nearby, but Riru just glared in that direction with tearful eyes.

"No matter how I think about it, this isn't right!"

'At the very least...'

'Neither I nor that man should have our first experience in such a manner.'

'This is no different than crime!'

[...This is what I was talking about. You can't keep acting this soft.]

The spirit uttered such words.

Until just now, she had been speaking in a disinterested tone, regardless of the words that came out of her mouth, but this time...

There was an unusual chill imbued in her voice.

[It's because you're this soft that things always get taken from you.]

"What?"

[Can I be frank with you?]

The spirit turned smoothly towards her.

Her expression still seemed languid, with her drooping eyes unchanging, but...

The carefree smile that was there before was now gone.

[Tell me. Do you think you can surpass all the other women around him?]

"..."

A few images came to Riru's mind.

There were definitely women who knew this man earlier and better than she did.

Some of them acted even more aggressively than her so that they could monopolize him to themselves.

[Those women wouldn't be the end of it. More of them will crowd around Dear Husband in the future too. Do you understand now?]

"..."

[Not only that you have zero experience with men, you also don't know how to socialize or dress up. You don't even know what kind of thing this man likes. Now, do you really think someone like you can compete with those women?]

However...

"So?"

Riru, her eyes wide open with pride, began to speak in a resolute voice.

"What of it?"

[...]

Taken aback by her bold words, the spirit widened its eyes.

"I don't care about those women."

Indeed, as this spirit said...

It didn't seem like she could squeeze next to this man and compete on equal terms with the women around him.

She might fall behind. She might have to painfully watch other women advance ahead of her after a crushing defeat.

But still...

"At the very least, he had never backstabbed me or betrayed my trust. That's why, I shouldn't do so either."

She didn't want to do something 'against his will' in such an unfair manner.
