Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

Cyril trapped himself in his room for two whole days.

In the past two days, he did not eat or said anything. He just looked out of the window and his eyes became colder and darker.

－My uncle said that it was a good thing for me to be the grandson’s daughter－in－law of the family. So I listened to him and agreed to get engaged.

－But now I admired uncle did not want me to marry you, I didn’t want to marry you. You understand me?

－Like? Do you think that I, who couldn’t even judge right and wrong, would understand what I like?

The girl’s words had been whirling and repeating in his ear for the past two days.

In the end, it was him who gave his heart to the wrong person. He was just the object of being played with.

He thought that it was because of her illness that she didn’t want to destroy him to say such a thing.

But seeing her innocent smile, the sarcastic cold meaning, as if to say－

Look, this man was really stupid to think that she liked him.

People in the school all said that Danae was eccentric by nature, no one would like her, and no one would like to approach her.

He always thought that no matter how withdrawn people were, there were exceptions.

He wanted to be the exception, but it turned out－

He became a joke in Turin!

On the day of engagement, his fiancée cut his wrists and committed suicide. What was that? It turned out that he could not force him to do so.

His mother brought him food and looked at his son’s decadent appearance, making it even more difficult.

She had told Danae before that if she did not accept that she did not like Cyril, she would not give him any hope.

Who ever thought…? The injury was still caused.

“Cyril, as the only heir to the family, how could you look like this because of a woman?”

Although she was not his biological mother, since his father’s death, she had devoted all her efforts to this boy.

She didn’t want to see him completely decadent because of a girl.

“When you inherit the enterprise and have everything, you could have any women that you want, why did you just so care about Danae?”

why did him just so care about Danae?

Cyril gave a wry smile. Did he really have to make himself rich and powerful, and those women would become snobbish to please you?

He used to talk a lot about ideals, but now he understood that ideals would be defeated by reality.

Did he have to thank the girl who hurt him the most taught him the reality?

“Listen to me and your grandfather, just forget her, she is not worth…”

“There’s no worth at all.”

Cyril began to interrupt, and the smile on his mouth gradually put on self－mockery. Those were all he was willing to do, and he only deserved them.

Such a thing, he would not let himself mess up for the second time.

“I decided to go abroad and accept the decision you and Grandpa arranged for me.”

“… have you really wanted to do that?”

His ideal since childhood was to become a designer, not to inherit the company and became an entrepreneur.

Therefore, he did not study abroad according to the decision arranged by his family. Instead, he was admitted to Turin University and studied design according to his own ability.

But now, that would be a thing of the past.

“I think it over clearly.”

It was really funny to think through the 20 years of fooling in two days.

But who could say for sure about the future?

Perhaps many years later, when he came back from abroad, Danae would no longer be what she was now, and he would no longer be what he used to be.
