His understanding of her had never gone beyond that night seven years ago. She had made a fool of herself a t the wedding banquet. Rose Loyle, as Jay's soon-to-be wife, was supposed to be the highlight of the night, but she had screamed when she saw him as though she had seen a ghost. Her expression that day was the same as a fanatic who had met her movie idol. She had hugged and nibbled him in front of everyone.
It was as though they were like lovers who had reunited after a long separation.
He had lost all his face because of her that day.
From then on, he had considered the daughter born out of wedlock of the Loyle family to be an uncivilized country bumpkin.
After the marriage, he cast her aside like an old shoe.
He hoped that he would weather through his financial crisis and then resolutely divorce her. Unfortunately, that uncivilized country bumpkin in his eyes was not as naive and innocent as he imagined. She set him up and snatched his virginity from him. 1
Ever since then, his hatred toward her had intensified. His anger had blinded him toward her virtues.
After being repeatedly rebuked by her various actions, Jay finally noticed that he might have misunderstood her.
It was true that she was the daughter of Royan Loyle born out of wedlock, but he did not know how it was like growing up in a countryside village. Perhaps judging her to be an uncouth woman based on her educational background might have been too narrowminded of him.
Some trees thrive in the most horrendous weather and the steepest cliffs. Perhaps Rose Loyle was someone like that.
"Sir Ares!"
Jay, who was walking in front, abruptly stopped when he heard Rose call him. He turned around and looked uncertainly at her.
"What is it?"
Rose did not move forward because she wanted to keep a distance from him.
