“Violet…… Violet , ?”
Rest upstairs? Getting rested to fulfill his desire to bear his child?
Preferring not to dwell on such humiliating thoughts while idle, she shook her head and said, “I’d rather novelbin
stick
to weeding.”
“Violet!” Lucius exploded in anger. His shout was so loud that it made the dining room tremble.
Violet stopped in her tracks and asked in confusion. “You’re calling me…”
Before she could finish, she realized he must be putting on an act, perhaps afraid of accidentally calling
Agatha” in front of Regina. So, he was addressing her as Violet even in private.
Lucius, too, realized his slip after calling out her name, then quickly changed his tone, “With the speed
you weed, it would take a year to finish. I’ve hired professionals to handle it. From today on, you stay at
home. If you’re bored, go keep Grandma company!”

Violet gave a bitter mile, burdened with her thoughts, and replied nonchalantly, “Just looking.”
Could she tell him she didn’t want to have children this way and that she wanted to leave?
He came over and sat beside her on the window seal, making the space feel cramped. “Violet, if I gave
you a chance to be Violet, what would you do?”
