How To Get My Husband On My Side

Chapter 72

"Ruby."

"...Yes."

"I asked you what happened. I don't really understand the situation right now."

My tongue stung and I felt nauseous.

You don't have to confirm this unnecessary thing.

"Tha... uhn, waaaaah-"

It was then.

In an atmosphere of sudden seriousness, Leah, who just wanted to find her hairpin, stopped looking at us and burst into tears.

She seemed to have been scared.

I wanted to cry with her.

But if I cried here, it would only be a negative factor.

I wanted an innocent childish image, not an impudent idiot image.

To make matters worse, the damn poisoning attempt was helping to create a clear picture of perpetrator and victim.

Sir Ivan seemed briefly enraptured by this unexpected disturbance.

And as soon as Leah began to cry, the floating spell was lifted.

If I had not been the subject of this situation, I would have been deeply moved by Sir Ivan's unexpected brotherly behaviour.

"What the... Leah, Leah. Hey, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"M-My, my hairpin, my hairpin, because of me, uhhhnn!"

Poor Leah seemed to have judged that Freya and I fought over her pretty hairpin. I'd rather it be that way.

Ellenia was still waiting for an answer with her eyes fixed on me.

Sir Ivan, who had been struggling to sweep back his pale yellow hair, also turned his eyes to me.

"Good lord. What in the world happened, my lady?"

I gulped at his low voice.

Maybe it was because I'd only seen his usual abusive behavior, but he seemed like a different person when he acted calm.

"My lady?"

In the series of my silent replies, Sir Ivan pressed again, his eyes slightly distorted, perhaps irritated.

He looked scarier than just being angry with her face as if she were a girl-like face.

As the heart beat like a rabbit in front of a fox, the white panic pressed down in my head.

This was what Freya was trying to tell me.

She didn't have to go through all this trouble in the first place.

No matter how I may be, in the end.......

Damn it, I just want to live.

I just don't want to die.

Why do you keep putting me on the edge?

"Ruby, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Stop it, Ellen. I don't want any more fuss. I think she was just surprised. You should go now, sir. My lady is very frightened."

Freya's eyes, gently interrupting and putting her hand on Ellenia's shoulder, quickly swept past me.

Funny, it was a reproachful look. As if I should have been the one to do this.

"Huu.... Brother, you idiot!"

"Huh, what are you doing? You little-!"

Leah, who suddenly bit her brother's wrist while wiping tears, now moved her small hands up and down.
