My Husband Will Regret This - Chapter 93

His words surprised Chloe very much. She never thought that William, who had always been kind to her, would turn out like this!

‘Because I wouldn’t have wasted my time coming to see you like I am now.’

…Wasting his time?

Did this mean that the time he spent meeting her was useless? While Chloe rolled her eyes again because she couldn’t grasp the situation, William let out an energetic laugh when he saw Chloe like that.

“What a fool. Stupid!”

He threw his head back, screaming something that was unknown whether it was to himself or to Chloe.

Angry.

With the idea that Chloe might be with him for the rest of his life, and getting full of dreams… and to his older brother, who knew all these facts but remained quiet! His brother must have known. So, he must have tried to sell her to him and marry Elizabeth to the Marquis!

He felt as if he had been tricked.

He didn’t know what he’s been tricked into, but he felt like he’d been denied everything anyway.

The foolish and stupid one was himself. He was being played by everyone. so William was angry! Of course, it was not something to be angry with Chloe about. because she was not at fault. She wouldn’t even know about this.

Nonetheless, he was angry that she tried to hide her death.

If he had known she was going to die from the start, then he would have missed her the whole time and never wanted her!

So, he turned the arrow of his wrath at poor Chloe.

“If I knew you were going to die, I wouldn’t have come all the way here to see you! Oh, d*mn it. Why did it turn out like this?”

William buried his face in his hands and then stamped his feet and came close to Chloe.

“Chloe. Are you really dying? Are you sure you’re dying?”

As he was asking this, it occurred to her that trying to confirm her death was not for Chloe’s sake, but for himself. So, William was asking this in order to save himself a little bit of face and the trouble of the past.

Eric suddenly passed through Chloe’s mind.

He was trying to save her. He said he would try to keep her alive somehow, and he was currently trying to somehow save her.

…But, what about William?

“Sh*t. What will happen to me when you die?!”

He was just sticking by his position.

Rather than understanding Chloe’s pain, sadness, and suffering, who was about to die, he was revealing the shame he would experience—even though she didn’t know what it was. She was so shocked by this fact that she never imagined that William, whom she believed to be her moral support, would show such an unrighteous attitude.

Chloe caught her breath, barely holding on to her fading spirit.

“Is my death a nuisance to brother?”

“Yes!”

William shouted. Then, he lowered his voice a bit as if he wanted to say no.

“Because I was going to marry you…”

Chloe was a bit dumbfounded. She looked up at William standing in front of her and spoke.

“So, who gave permission for that? I have never thought about remarrying with brother.”

William bit his lower lip.

He knew.

He knew that she had no intention of marrying him. But even so, William had a glimmer of hope. It was the hope that Chloe, who had fallen away from the Marquis, would come to him.

“The royal family has allowed it.”

So, he said as he let out a short sigh.

“The royal family decided Elizabeth’s marriage would be to the Marquis! So all I had was to bring you, but you’re dying soon! D*mn it! Where did it go wrong?!”

Chloe was so confused.

She knew that the royal family tried to pass on the fourth princess, Elizabeth, to Eric… but they decided?

What right did they have to choose Eric’s second wife? And to be dragging her with it!

Chloe couldn’t accept the frantic situation, but within seconds she took a slow, deep breath. As she thought about it, William’s words were really strange… words that she couldn’t understand even if she tried to understand them.

The royal family was trying to use the tool of marriage to get Eric on their side. To do so, the biggest obstacle was her, so they tried to snatch Chloe through William.

…Eric and Chloe’s opinions mattered not in this process.

Chloe was very surprised by this fact. She didn’t understand this situation that was happening without her, and she didn’t want to understand.

“Is there any way to fix it? You may not be able to go back to a healthy life, but is there really no way to live?”

“Brother.”

So, Chloe interrupted William as his words were no longer a comfort for her. It was hard to believe that he was really worried about her for asking this question.

She glanced up at William with dumb eyes.

“Why should my life be a tool to save brother’s face?”

William’s eyes shook.

His face was red from the fact that he had shown too much raw emotion, the fact that he had shown a sloppy side in front of Chloe, and the fact that he had revealed his true feelings. In such a situation, it was usually right to admit it and step back.

To say that he was agitated and apologize for not making a rational judgment. It was right to turn around.

However, William still could not calm down his anger right now. In other words, he did not regain his mind enough to make a cold-hearted judgment.

“You are mean.”

So, he looked Chloe straight in the eyes and clenched his teeth.

“You’re such a mean person, Chloe.”

Chloe’s shoulders trembled. Why did she have to listen to this?

Simply because she was dying?

Then…

‘Is it a loss for him that I’m dying?’

Yes, it seemed like that.

William was putting her life at a price, so he seemed to regard her death as a loss. It was a completely different attitude from Eric, who had treated her death as a regrettable phenomenon and something that should never happen.

“Eric…”

Chloe suddenly murmured.

“…Didn’t do this.”

She muttered in certainty.

“He didn’t say anything like that.”

Yes. Eric didn’t say this and didn’t show this attitude. He tried to prevent Chloe’s death and struggled to keep her alive.

Suddenly another thought came to mind.

…Wouldn’t this be great love? Chloe unknowingly jumped up and she ran quickly toward the doorway.

“Andrea!”

With her cry, Andrea, who was standing on the other side of the hallway, hurriedly approached her. Before she could ask what was going on, Chloe shouted, wrapping her arms around Andrea’s shoulder.

“Is Eric back?”

Andrea shook her head.

“No. The master is not in the mansion.”

“Even in the lab?”

“No, he is not there.”

Chloe realized that Eric hadn’t come. She felt again how little she had thought of it and how wrong she had been. Then, she looked down at the pocket watch.

The time was already pointing to six o’clock.

“Prepare a carriage. Right now.”

Andrea left, saying that she didn’t know if it was possible because the snow was getting too much, and Chloe opened her eyes tightly, staring at the ankle-deep snow.

“Chloe.”

At this time, William, who returned to his usual voice as he had finally regained his sanity, called her. Even though she did not turn her body towards him, he spoke again with a hand on her shoulder.

“I’m sorry. I guess I lost my mind for a while. I should have been more concerned about your body, but I couldn’t. Still, it’s not my sincerity. I’m always worried about you…”

“Brother.”

Chloe cut off William’s long words and she slowly turned her head. There was no expression on her face as she looked at William.

There really was nothing.

As William sighed and put his hand away, Chloe stared at him and opened her mouth.

“I had no intention of marrying brother… from a long time ago until now.”

“….”

“I had no intention of overturning it. I will die anyway.”

Chloe laughed emptily. It was because it occurred to her that she seemed to be saying that she was dying a lot today. Anyway, she… was a little sad, so she spoke in a voice mixed with a bit of resentment.

“But, the brother was the one who judged and acted on me like this… so why are you angry with me?”

“Chloe… I’m sorry. How about we talk a little bit more?”

“No.”

William stopped her once more, but she shook her head resolutely.

“I am going to see my husband.”

Indeed, after a long time, she finally referred to him as her husband. It’d been a long time since she had spoken of it. Perhaps, the name Eric was more familiar than the title of her husband.

“Please don’t come looking for me anymore.”

William begged her to reconsider once more, but Chloe was adamant. Then, she left in the carriage after getting called by Andrea, and she went straight to town.
