Lex had developed a sense of territoriality, and no one was allowed into the other yard without her permission. Except for the gardeners, of course
Lexd understood that the gardeners were the protectors of the yard, Without them, the yard couldn't remain so beautiful.
Linda took a seat on one of the chairs in the yard.
"Just say whatever you want to tell me I'm particularly calm right now, so whatever you say won't make me too emotional"
She had grown more mature over the years
She remembered her rebellious self before marrying William, when she had done many unconventional things. Back then, John had always cleaned up her mess.
After John passed away, she lost the person who had been protecting her in the dark, and she started learning to be mature on her own
She had once fantested about having her protector shift from her father to her husband. But such a naive and absurd thought only lasted a moment. William didn't love her, so how could he protect her like a husband should? "You met Arden after we got married?"
Linda ried to recall the timeline.
"Probably after we got married." Her memory was indeed hazy, perhaps because so much time had passed or because she hadn't paid much attention to some details
"Tonly remember going to a wedding photo shoot alone and getting into danger. He saved me
"You don't need to know the details. It has nothing much to do with you. I said I'd let it go, so let's just pretend it never happened. The more you dig into it, the less meaningful becomes. Some people and things are best left forgotten." She had come to terms with this herself
"Linda, I feel like I've missed out on a lot along the way."
William couldn't even recall exactly how much he had missed. He only knew that everything related to Linda felt particularly blurred in his memories
"You've missed out on a lot."
She didn't deny this
"In the four years I was married to you, I tried every day to become a better person and be the kind of person you liked. Even though your family criticized me, I endured it. "But then, I thought about it carefully. I was also a princess at home. Why did I end up feeling like a maid after marrying you, doing things I shouldn't have had to do?
"If I hadn't married you, I think I would have lived a happy life. Even if my father had still passed away and it was just me and chloe, the two of us could have lived comfortably happily.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
*But i was stubborn at that time, I was responsible for all the suffering endured. It had something to do with you, but the biggest mistake was mine. None of this would have happened it I hadn't married you."
Linda was unwilling to reflect the "Witam, do you always think about our past whenever something happens to me?"
Willkan nodded.
Because it must be hard for you to accept how you reacted to all those that happened then
Ican understand you now. Looking back, I despise mysel for doing those as a man. If I could go back to that time with my current self, I definitely wouldn't make They both dell silent, lost in their thoughts.
