But I’m not like that
Marco then turned to look at Letta.
“Why do you still want to ask silly things like earlier?” Letta asked, making Marco gaze at his wife with delight.
“Is there a chance that you will hate me?” Marco asked, making Letta return her husband’s gaze. Letta didn’t know what happened to her husband at the office that made him have such thoughts and questions that he was now throwing at her.
“Not for now,” Letta replied, making Marco shake his head.
“And how about in the future?” Marco asked again.
“I don’t know, maybe I will hate you if you make a big mistake against me,” Letta answered, making Marco nod his head.
“How big of a mistake would make you hate me?” Marco asked again.
“An error as big as… I don’t know. Isn’t it that the size of someone’s mistake can be seen differently from each perspective? Maybe to you, it’s not a big mistake, but to me, it’s a fatal error. How about that?” Letta said again.
“That’s why I’m asking, according to you, how big of a mistake would make you hate me,” Marco said again, making Letta start thinking about the answer she had to give.
“I don’t know, for now, I can’t think of it. I won’t think that you’ll make a big mistake against me because I don’t want to hate you,” Letta said with a slight whine, making Marco hold her hand.
“Come on, think about it, so I can avoid that mistake, you know I’m just an ordinary human. Even though I have everything now, I don’t know why I’m afraid that you might hate me. So, tell me the reason that might make you hate me,” Marco said, sounding a bit forceful to Letta, making Letta unwilling to think hard to find what would make her feel hurt by Marco.
“If you betray me,” Letta replied, making Marco furrow his brow.
“Just that?” Marco asked, making Letta look at him with narrowed eyes.
“You Say it’s just the word ‘betrayal.’ That’s not as trivial as your scandal with Arabella. Isn’t it that people consider it something that happens in the world of handsome young businessmen like you? Even maybe the public opinion is that men like you surely have mistresses or other women in every country they usually visit,” Letta said again, making Marco shake his head.
“But I’m not like that,” Marco said.
“That’s why I don’t want you to betray me. That would be a big mistake that might make me hate you. I don’t want you to betray me with Freya. I don’t want you to divide your love for another woman. Just the thought of it makes me feel suffocated. Especially if you actually do it,” Letta replied, making Marco nod his head.
“Alright, that’s an easy thing, I can do it, I guarantee that I will never turn to anyone, any other woman, and will never betray you and Freya,” Marco said, sounding like something very easy for him.
“That’s proof that I really love you so to do that is not difficult for me because I have promised myself that you are the only woman worthy to be in my life,” Marco said, making Letta fall silent.
“What about yourself? What would make you hate me?” Letta asked, making Marco fall silent as if thinking about what his answer would be.
“Leaving me,” Marco answered with that single word, making Letta furrow her brow.
“What do you mean?” Letta asked again.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I would definitely hate you very much if you leave me alone. I can’t even imagine if you really leave me and abandon me,” Marco said with an expression that was hard to interpret, making Letta fall silent. Of course, their conversation from the beginning was not ordinary; Marco rarely invited her to discuss such serious matters.
“I don’t really know what’s happening,” Letta said, reaching out her hand and stroking her husband’s firm jaw, making Marco immediately grasp her palm and kiss it gently.
“Because I’m currently in a phase where I’m very scared,” Marco replied, making Letta furrow her brow.
“What are you afraid of? Aren’t we living happily with Freya right now?” Letta asked again, making Marco fall silent for a moment.
“That’s why I feel so afraid, because there is a saying that if you feel extreme happiness, maybe someday you will be brought down by that very happiness itself, and it will be very painful, it will be very, very painful. I am currently in a phase where I am truly happy, so happy that I even feel that maybe I will experience it. Right now, I’m willing to let go of anything for this happiness, because I feel an incredibly profound happiness, and that’s my fear. It will surely turn around and it will be many times more painful,” Marco said again, making Letta shake her head.
“Let’s end this event in the bathroom now, as it seems your mind is starting to freeze and can’t think clearly, and you’re saying silly things. I’ll help dry your hair, and then we’ll have dinner right away. Let’s end this serious conversation because I don’t want you to have more negative thoughts, okay?” Letta said before getting up from her seat.
“I’ll wait for you outside. I’ll get your clothes ready first,” Letta added before leaving the bathroom, leaving Marco still silently staring at the now closed door. Marco then rubbed his face roughly. Of course, Letta was now saying things like that, so what would her expression be when she found out the truth? What should he do? What should Marco do to hold onto this happiness and keep it with him? Marco didn’t want everything to end, he didn’t want Letta’s past to return. Marco would risk anything to keep Letta and Freya with him, to ensure that Letta’s ties and past never returned, even if it meant sacrificing everything he had now except Letta and Freya. Marco could let go of it, but not his family’s happiness.
