How to Get My Husband on My Side

Ch 116

There was no particular pain, but as I still had no energy, I fell asleep immediately when I closed my eyes. As my noble father in law said, I will have a lot of work to do after he vacates his position, so it would only be right to rest while I can. Thanks to the warm sunset that tickled my eyelids when I awoke from my nap, I could feel the presence of someone standing next to me.

Assuming that it was Izek, I didn’t check to see who it was. However, it was the presence of my beautiful sister-in-law who looked just like him, visiting me while I was alone.

Throughout my time of pretending to be a patient, Elenia would often sneak up to the door and disappear after quietly observing the family doctor or maid tending to me.

Even if she was wary of me, it couldn’t be helped, but more than that, I just felt like I wasn’t ready to face her.

I didn’t know how to prepare for it.

Elenia stopped pacing and stared at me with a stoic expression while I was looking away from her.

The sunset pouring in from the window with the curtains slightly drawn tinted our faces with a crimson dye.

“······You’ve already heard about it.”

The voice that finally rang was calm and dry like her.

The long hands exposed under the wide lace sleeves looked particularly lifeless today.

“I sent Marta to another place.”

“Ah······.”

“It’s not Ruby’s fault, so I hope you don’t misunderstand. This was something I should have done earlier… It seems that none of us knew what the people around us were really like.”

It was a stupid question to ask “Why did you do that?” Weren’t there moments when you felt like you knew what the reason was even if it wasn’t said out loud?

So Elenia, who turned her attention to the scenery outside of the window, slowly caught her breath, avoiding my eyes just staring at her.

“I don’t think I’ve tried to get close to anyone. I probably didn’t try because I didn’t care… now that I see that, I’ve found that I’m worse than my brother.”

I wondered if word had circulated that I was secretly hiding away beasts, but it seems that I was agonizing over a completely different issue.

“It sounds ridiculous to say this after the time we’ve spent together, but I believed that it would be okay for anyone to leave anytime. Like my mother…It wouldn’t matter if they suddenly left.”

“······.”

“If I’ve been living like that… I can’t even imagine how Ruby has been living all this time…”

The voice, which had been carrying on quietly, dropped dangerously like the calm before the storm.

I was in the middle of it all.

“Ruby, I’m… I’m sorry, I really don’t know what to say.”

She said something incomprehensible again.

Saying she’s sorry?

I didn’t think she had anything to feel sorry for in this case…

“I like the warm, pleasant atmosphere that hasn’t been around in a long while, I like how the crazy disturbances always catch me off guard, and I envy you for always being sincere.….”

“………”

“Even though I felt unsettled and I knew something was wrong… I wanted Ruby to feel comfortable here so I didn’t try to figure out what was really going on. I didn’t want you to leave so I didn’t bring up the issue or try to acknowledge it.”
