Chapter 2: Knowing too much is not good for you!
694 Words
"Do you still want to ignore it?"
After watching the usual silence, Sophia sneered in despair and self-mockery: "Ha...haha..."
Richard's mouth twitched slightly: "Knowing too much is not good for you!"
He enjoyed his current life and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, so he didn't want to talk about the past either!
His perfunctory response couldn't satisfy Sophia's needs.
"I am not the spoiled daughter of Cahage's business world, nor am I the young lady of the Wright family, nor am I the so-called goddess!"
"I am just the dumbest fool in the world!"
"I am just a fool!"
"Do you know what they say about you?"
"They say you keep a mistress outside, and after I go to the company every day, you go to clubs to have fun!"
"So, am I not even as good as those fallen women?"
"That's right!"
"I won't dress up like those fallen women, I won't cater to you by calling you 'darling' like those fallen women!"
"Nor will I flatter and stroke your ego to make you happy!"
"You and I, one disabled, one fool, are truly made for each other!"
The accumulated grievances of the past three years erupted in that instant.
She used to pity Richard, but now she pities herself!
Tears ran down her cheeks and finally dripped onto the marble floor, creating a 'drip' sound in the deathly silence.
It was a state bordering on the madness!
It was a desperate and helpless confusion!
Not knowing why she was alive at all!
"Honey!"
Seeing his wife's collapse, Richard trembled all over in pain and couldn't bear it.
He wanted to get up and touch her hair, comfort her wounded heart, but he couldn't do it!
He was only one step away from opening up the blocked meridians throughout his body, returning to his peak state, and once again becoming the terrifyingly skilled martial artist, the number one expert in Aksum - War Dragon Richard!
The word 'honey' made Sophia tremble unexpectedly, but the shock in her beautiful eyes quickly disappeared. She shouted hoarsely, almost roaring: "Richard !"
"You don't deserve it!"
"Do you know that?"
"What entitles you to be my husband?"
"My husband must be an unparalleled hero!"
"He will stand up for me when I am humiliated and bullied, defeating the bad guys!"
"He will give me a shoulder to lean on when I feel wronged and cry!"
"My husband will be respected and feared by everyone in the world, a great hero!"
"But you're just disabled!"
"Sob..."
Sophia cried in heartache, took out a vivid red phoenix ruby pendant from her bosom, and choked out: "I have someone I love!"
"Five years ago, it was the man who rescued me from the bandit's den!"
"I said I would marry him!"
"This is the phoenix ruby pendant he gave me!"
"He left behind the dragon ruby pendant as our token of love!"
"It's impossible for me to fall in love with you, we can never be together!"
Seeing the phoenix ruby pendant in his wife's hand, Richard's eyes moistened. He didn't expect her to still keep it. He remembered the girl he rescued, Sophia.
However, the phoenix ruby pendant was not a love token.
It was Sophia's way of thanking him. But how could he, the esteemed War Dragon, take off his mask and accept her gratitude?
As for the dragon ruby pendant, it was lost after he suffered severe injuries and has not been found since.
He also never imagined that three years ago, Sophia would become his wife through the Wright family's marriage arrangement.
Seeing his tearful wife, Richard felt his blood boiling, and the stagnant blood in his body for three years seemed to melt away in an instant!
He would stand up!
He would personally tell Sophia that he was the unparalleled War Dragon, revered and feared by countless people!
Not the cripple sitting in a wheelchair, a useless son-in-law of the Wright family who could only smile in the face of insults and ridicule!
He wanted to regain everything he owed his wife from the Wright family and cherish her for a lifetime!
