How To Win My Husband Over

Chapter 14: Turning the Atmosphere Upside Down

"Hey."

I looked up, trying to catch my breath.

Isaac was looking down at me with his head tilted to one side. His red eyes gleamed faintly.

"You have a strange expression."

—I told you not to drag it out.

"Whatever… Come here at once."

— Come here, bitch who doesn't even know her wrongdoings.

I followed the order in daze.

On the right side of the wide, dark stable, the stallions whine lowly toward their owner.

Mocking gaze. The animals that laugh whilst I cry

"Can you pick one up for me?"

— Bring it here.

I gulped down my dry mouth and turned to the side.

It was hung on a pole above a chest piled with carrots and apples.

"It's the only way to deal with this arrogant thing."

— There is only one punishment that can be given to a stupid girl who doesn't know a single grace given to her.

I paused for a moment and looked at the stallion in the immediate front fence.

The horse stomped on one foot and snorted disapprovingly.

It seems to be asking why it exploded so slowly.

It's all right, it's all right. But I'm the one who thought he was a good person. He just needs to save me later.

"He looks the dirtiest in nature, but he is surprisingly simple……."

Isaac, who was stroking the back of the horses' nose, looked back, paused at the next moment.

"……What are you doing?"

Why is the pattern always the same no matter where I go? Just save my life, bastard.

As a sign of remorse, I approached with tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry. I've sinned to death."

"What…?"

"It's all my fault. I was presumptuous without knowing grace. I'm absolutely hopeless."

He stared at me. His dark ruby eyes seemed somehow a little dazed.

"You…"

His gaze turned downward. To be precise, he looked at my outstretched hand.

His dull eyes hardened as sharp as a razor.

"It seems that in Romagna, the horses only eat whip as a snack."

"What…?"

Hic! Hiccup came out.

At the same time, he snatched the whip from my hand and threw it away.

Bang!

The stallion, who almost got hit while welcoming the owner, grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Hiccup, hiccup.

But the hiccups didn't stop and kept coming out.

I was trying to cover my mouth with both hands, but Isaac grabbed my hand and made me put it down. His cold, hardened face was terribly frightening.
