To Help You Understand - Chapter 14

“From what Sharon says, Lord Winter knows everything about you.”

Enna said as she was working late at night with Violet. They were making decorations for tomorrow while everyone else was fast asleep.

Sharon was already asleep on the sofa like a child, and the two were standing in front of a large wooden table. Violet nodded once with her eyes on the ribbon in her hand.

Enna, who looked at her somewhat hardened face for a moment, continued.

“Are you having a hard time living in the South?”

Violet opened her mouth.

“It’s hard, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for my husband who lost so much money and didn’t get anything… like Ash said, I wonder if I’m being selfish because I can’t stand what I have endured.”

“Well, I’m sorry to say this because he’s your brother, but Ash Lawrence is an opportunist. It’s not worth keeping in mind what he says.”

“Ha, really Grandma?”

Enna shrugged her shoulders as Violet looked surprised.

“What do you think? I’m old enough to not be afraid. The only things that scare me are my grandchildren and the opportunists in the world you live in.”

“……”

Enna spoke bluntly, as she gathered small branches and looked at a bundle of green ribbon.

“That’s wonderful, it’s just like you said.”

Violet also looked at the finished bundle. Enna said, while looking fatigued,

“Oh, I’m tired. I’m going in now.”

“Oh, yes. Go to bed first.”

“And Violet, if you’re having a hard time, come here anytime. I can afford to take care of you.”

Enna’s words made Violet’s face bloom like a flower in summer. She gave a pleasant smile.

“I will.”

Winter left the representative office after 2 a.m. Hayel yawned and saw Winter off.

“You’re not sleeping at the office?”

“My wife is in the capital.”

“About the divorce? Would you feel better if you got home at 2 a.m.?

“Don’t start.”

“I have to be honest, or who else will be?”

Hayel pouted his mouth. As he said, every time he ran into Winter, who was known for his foul temper, all the employees ran away with a pale face after greeting him. He was the only one who could say this.

The headquarters of the Carnic Hotel was on an island at the mouth of the Lekle River.

Winter rolled his shirt sleeves up and headed to the carriage. Hayel, who was walking next to him, looked around the island to see if it felt new.

“Wow, when you first asked me to buy the island, I thought you were out of your mind.”

“What’s wrong with you today? Are you crazy?”

“I’m so excited! Didn’t you manage to make it to the largest hotel chain on the continent?”

“That has nothing to do with me.”

“… if it doesn’t matter to you, who does it matter to?”

Hayel asked as if he didn’t understand and opened the carriage door.

Winter got in the carriage, and looked out of the window for a long time.

He bought an island that existed at the mouth of the river, strengthened its foundation, and built buildings on it. Now it is famous as a luxurious shopping and tourist destination, and its huge profits have fallen into Winter’s hands. Companies on the continent are eager to enter this place because it has a better advertising effect than anywhere else.

“… Shall we take a break?”

It is true that the last three years have been too much. As he continued to live a poor life of staying up for several days in a row then sleeping for a solid day, he felt mentally exhausted.

The carriage ran along the river and soon arrived at the hotel.

Come to think of it, he should have just slept at work; he didn’t know why he came back.

Winter came into the hotel, muddling his hair.

He thought he should go straight to bed and eat with Violet tomorrow morning. The princess didn’t come out of her room before breakfast. After having a quick breakfast at the bedroom table, he left the room.

Anyway, she is a woman who wasn’t similar to him at all.

He tried to head to his room but walked unknowingly to Violet’s room.

It is impossible for Violet to be able to seek a divorce, so Winter had no fear of her leaving.

My wife was apparently shocked by the ID test, but frankly, if Winter decided to, he could have blown up the entire Wellton station as well as the officer who checked his ID. Rather, she was lucky.

Therefore, no matter if she was a princess, it wasn’t hard to have her ankles tied together with money.

But he couldn’t let go of her eyes, which seemed to be tired of living. No matter how much money and power he accrued, if she had a bad heart there was no way to keep her alive.

Her parents were always happy to give him money, and always returned her love. He doesn’t doubt her love for him, even if he only stops by her house once a year.

So he couldn’t understand why his wife was so tired.

Isn’t family supposed to be maintained with money? Why can’t his relationship with his wife be maintained…

While he was thinking about this, he checked Violet’s room door. Winter found the indicator next to the room door was green.
