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

Danae was only seven years old and did not understand the crimes committed by his father.

After ten years of being brought back by Raymond, she had not come into contact with these, and he would not let her come into contact with them.

Now Joe’s words made her begin to doubt.

What happened?

It had been ten years since Raymond personally sent his father to prison. His father was sentenced to death without any complaints.

It seemed that it was his retribution.

At this moment, Danae panicked. She didn’t know whether Joe’s words were true or not, and what it meant.

… …

“Miss Macaulay…”

Susan saw that the girl did not touch chopsticks. Was tonight’s dinner not delicious?

But after tomorrow night, Miss Macaulay would leave and would never be able to eat the dishes she cooked again. Therefore, what Susan cooked was what Danae liked to eat on weekdays.

“Susan, did he say when he would come back?”

Danae looked at the clock. It was already evening. Raymond did not come back. Was there a social party?

“Mr. Macaulay did not call.”

Now she had too many questions in her heart. She had many words and wanted to ask the man.

About her father.

However, she did not know if she had the courage to ask when she saw Raymond.

“Susan, had you heard about my father?”

Susan looked stiff, but it was the first time she heard Danae mention her father in a clear consciousness.

“No.”

Susan Shook her head. She did really have no ideas.

Susan was an old servant in Macaulay family, and Raymond treated her very well. Even if she didn’t know anything about it, outsiders did not even know it.

Therefore, the answer lied only with one person.

Raymond.

She wanted to ask clearly before she left, otherwise… she didn’t want to let her father die in vain.

But she didn’t have time. What if Raymond didn’t show up or won’t answer her at all?

“Although I don’t know those things, I still want to advise you. There are still some words that you should not to mention.”

Those things that had passed and those who had died should not be mentioned again.

Danae’s heart seemed to have fallen into a thousand－layer stone, which made her almost out of breath.

But as long as she thought of her father’s face and helpless smile, she could not restrain the depression in her heart.

All night, he did not come back.

And this night, she thought through a lot of things.

Although it was a memory ten years ago, she would never forget it in her life.

－Anna, to live your own life in the future. Don’t think about dad any more.

－Go to a new place to start your life and forget everything here.

Forgot?

How could I forget it?

… …

In the evening, Danae looked at the dress, hair accessories and shoes lying beside the bed.

Everything was ready for tomorrow’s engagement party.

When Cyril called, Danae had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a thin nightgown, and looked at the time.

It’s ten o’clock.

“Although there are still two hours to go before your birthday, I am afraid you will already be asleep at that time. Danae… Happy birthday.”

Tomorrow was the engagement reception and her birthday.

But she forgot that when zero arrived, it was already tomorrow.

For the first time, someone said Happy Birthday to her in advance.

“Thank you.”

“You will be my fiancée tomorrow, and I should say thank you.”

Cyril knew that perhaps Danae did not have the kind of love between men and women for him now. But in the future, he would try his best to make her fall in love with herself.

“Believe me, I will give you a home, only our home.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Home…

This word was told to her ten years ago.

－Danae, let’s go home.

But that was, very distant memory.

Now, in her life, a teenager named Cyril appeared.

When he laughed, he would make her feel that the whole world was warm and even she could be treated so gently.

He taught her to ride a bicycle and felt the warmth of the wind.

He promised her a family.

There was no imprisonment, no fear, only a home to cherish.

Danae admitted that she was moved. Really, she was moved to deal with the family mentioned by Cyril.

“Tomorrow, is our engagement banquet, I still can’t believe this is true… I…”

On the other side of the phone, his voice was like a spring breeze. Because of her, he became cautious and swayed by considerations of gain and loss.

Danae couldn’t help asking herself, how could she attract this teenager?

With a little moist in her eyes, she smiled with a slight vision－

“Idiot…”

She had never seen anyone more stupid than him.

She never thought that someone would come to rescue her from a dark and gloomy life.

She would try to let herself accept this feeling and accept the embrace of sunshine.

Just like dad hoped, live her own life.

As time went by, the girl looked at the evening dress and felt for the first time that the dress was very beautiful.

Tomorrow would be a brand－new beginning.
