Anxia was starting to regret asking the man. She didn't understand why she was curious about Richard's treatment of her.
Judging the general character of men, shouldn't Richard hate her?
She had tricked the man four years ago, and Richard also knew of her wicked plan to ruin Raymond's married life.
Anxia believed that Richard must have investigated her background and knew she was master Yu's assassin.
Then why was that man so kind and perhaps warmly caring of her if Anxia was willing to admit it?
Anxia could understand that Richard treasured Lori because the child was his flesh and blood. And she understood Richard was forcing her to marry him so Lori would grow up in a complete family.
Anxia also understood that Richard was nice to her in front of people so as not to invite suspicion from Stanley and the others.
But she didn't understand why Richard was still sweet to her even though it was just the two of them.
