Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 144

In the evening, it rained heavily outside the window. The shoddy rental house was in danger of being blown down by wind. and rain. The door was wide open, as Xayah was coming back.

When Violet was ten years old, she was lovely with long black soft hair. She was deeper and calmer than her peers. It took Violet two hours to prepare a table of meals. Although there was no meat on the plate, Violet cooked with love. She learned how to cook when she was six years old.

Violet was a little introverted and rarely smiled as a child, but she was very beautiful.

Standing at the door, Violet looked out at the heavy rain and dark night sky, waiting for her mom Xayah to get back home. from work.

However, even after the passage of thirty minutes, Xayah had yet to make her return.

Finally, Violet saw the tiny figure getting closer and closer in the rain with a big, half-blown-out umbrella over her. Violet and Xayah were so poor that they even didn’t have a scooter at home. Violet found Xayah wet all over with her hair still dripping.

“Mom!” Violet hurried to get the towel and clothes. “Get changed, or you will catch a cold!”

After entering the door, Xayah took Violet in her arms!

Then Xayah burst into tears.

“What’s the matter, Mom?” Violet was anxious, holding Xayah’s shoulder, and asked worriedly, “Mom, what happened?”

“The salary I got this afternoon was stolen. I can’t get you to the hospital tomorrow…”

Xayah’s cry was filled with despair.

In the dim light, Violet couldn’t tell whether it was tears or rain on her mother’s face, but the cry wrenched at her heart. “Mom…” Violet didn’t know how to comfort Xayah.

Xayah got this small sum of money after working for a whole month.

“Violet, I found the thief, but I failed to catch him. The salary was in my pocket, but then it was stolen in the blink of an eye and there wasn’t a penny left. I felt so useless. I wanted to get you some meat at the market to boost your health, but unexpectedly…

With tears in her eyes, Violet hugged Xayah who was cold and soaked to the skin. “Mom, don’t be sad. We can earn it back. I feel fine, and luckily, you are safe. The thief might have a knife with him. Don’t be sad. I’ve prepared the meal. Go get changed quickly and we will eat together, okay?”

Xayah couldn’t suppress her sorrow and kept saying, “Sorry, Violet. I’m sorry….

“I can’t give you a better life…

“I’m so sorry…

It was Xayah’s greatest guilt that Violet had never enjoyed paternal love since childhood.

But Violet never blamed Xayah or asked who her father was. In Violet’s mind, her father had died.

Especially when there was trouble that got their lives hard, Xayah was consumed by guilt. She always thought that she failed to give Violet a good life after giving her birth.

In the ward, Violet halted her thoughts with no tears in her eyes. She was very calm and took the past as a kind of experience. “Do you think I am pitiful?” Violet asked with a hint of mockery in her voice and then turned to look at Jack.

Violet could see a slight frown on Jack’s strongly defined face.

Jack held Violet’s hand under the quilt.

Violet was stunned by this.

Jack said, “You are excellent.” He finally understood why Violet was so stubborn when she and Charlotte met a thief in the exhibition hall last time.

“So I hate thieves,” Violet said. “They’re healthy but all want to get something for nothing. Sometimes they steal others’ all savings, which are their hope and life.”

Jack interlaced his fingers with Violet’s so that they could sense each other’s body heat.

Violet didn’t break free but closed her eyes and swallowed the hatred.

Violet continued, “Later I learned kickboxing. I neither signed up for a class nor paid tuition. I didn’t have money, so I just

stood outside the classroom of the training school, pretended to be waiting for my classmates, and learned it secretly

Hearing this, Jack became serious. “How are you feeling these years?”

“Fine, it’s nothing serious. I was born prematurely. Plus malnourished, I was weak all the time. When it started to get colder, I would catch a cold, but I got no warm clothes at home or firewood in winter. Violet’s tone was calm as if she were telling stories about others. “You may not understand that this is what people at the bottom of society are like. They’re always cold and hungry. At that time, my greatest wish was to be fed and clothed.”

Jack was sad. If only he had known Violet earlier!

Then he could protect Violet, take care of her, and give her money…

Violet never talked about her past with anyone before. She didn’t know what was going on with her tonight. But after sharing with Jack, Violet felt much more relieved.

Jack turned sideways to Violet. Although he couldn’t see her, he could feel her breath and heartbeat, as well as judge her position. Violet was close at hand, and Jack was holding her hand.

Violet didn’t know what Jack was going to do.

Jack propped up and kissed Violet on the lips accurately when she was still immersed in her memories. Violet’s eyes suddenly widened!

This kiss was affectionate and vigorous…

Violet came back to her senses and pushed Jack away. “My hand hurts.”

Jack let go of Violet and said, “I feel sorry for you.”

Jack’s nose was pressed against Violet’s. Violet knew Jack couldn’t see her, but he was so close that she could not ignore him.

Violet held her breath and looked at Jack boldly with soft and charming eyes. She wondered, “How can there be such a handsome man in this world? His facial features are perfect.”

Violet didn’t know what this feeling meant, but it sent her heart racing.

Although Jack couldn’t see Violet, it seemed that he could sense her steady gaze.

“Lie down, will you?” Violet spoke softly. Her voice was a little trembling. If she got any closer to Jack, her heartbeat would rocket. What if Violet couldn’t control herself?

Jack was a little bit out of control as well. After all, he was a young and energetic man.

Jack lay back beside Violet, who gently pulled her hand out of his grasp. “It’s so hot,” Violet thought. “Let’s be practical. There’s no way we can ever be together,” said Violet. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Why?” Jack was curious.

Violet didn’t answer. She thought for a while before asking, “What about you? How is your childhood? Are your parents divorced?”

Jack uttered no word.

The room was extremely quiet.

Violet turned to see Jack close his eyes. “He doesn’t want to talk about it, right?” Violet wondered.

“I look rich, but I’m not much better than you.” Jack’s lips were parted slightly, but his eyes remained closed. “So we are very similar. We are both lonely people who work hard to make a difference.”

“Have you got what you want?” Violet asked. “Are you satisfied with everything you have now?”

“Not until I have you,” Jack said half-jokingly.

Violet smiled and said, “Don’t be joking. Are you so casual about a relationship? How long have we known each other? Do you really know me?”
