"You don't have to be afraid of me. You know I won't hurt you." Max coaxed in the softest voice, hoping his sincerity could reach deep into his wife's heart.
'Chleo' didn't answer him as if she couldn't believe that the man wouldn't hurt her.
"Chleo, I admit I was wrong by threatening you and forcing you into this... unwanted marriage. But have I ever hurt you physically? Have I ever taken you to a dangerous place? I never even touched your family even though I threatened you to hurt them."
'Chleo' felt her chest assailed with excruciating pain. Instead of feeling relieved to hear the man's sincerity, she felt even more guilty.
The man had never once hurt her. Even when she was forcibly taken to England, her husband never restrained her movement.
On the other hand, she was the one who often hurt him. Countless times she had said nasty words to her husband.
