Raina laughed coldly, grinding her teeth, "You’re too scared? You f***ing dare to say you’re too scared?" "Really! I’m totally a scaredy-cat." Quinn swore solemnly, fearing Raina would give him trouble, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "On that day, you hurriedly left my brother’s side for another man, then there was Corvus proposing to you, and you almost got kidnapped, too. With all this going on, given my brother’s temper, could he not be mad?" "..." Absolutely not. Quinn continued blabbering, "That’s one thing, but who would have thought my poor brother would meet you so late, it’s heaven’s mistake. Not to mention, in The Umbral Zone, you have that Orion Rivers persona, which means, though my brother holds the certificate as your legitimate husband, he still has to fight for attention against those flashy hussies. Sis-in-law, just think about it, put yourself in his shoes, if it were you, could you just brush it off?" Raina admitted she couldn’t. If it were her, she would have long been unable to endure it and would fight those little vixens outside. Who would dare covet her man, had they lived long enough? Thinking about it like that, Raina inexplicably felt a bit guilty and couldn’t help but ask Quinn, "Be honest, what state is Elias Hawthorne in now? Has he really gone on a bloodthirsty rampage?" "Well, not exactly like that." Raina breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew it." Although things on her side were quite messed up, Elias is a magnanimous person, and he’s so smart that he surely knows there are reasons behind everything. How could he really hold it against me? Just as she hadn’t finished exhaling, she heard Quinn continue, "I think the boss is suppressing himself. On one hand, he knows he should empathize with you, sis-in-law, but on the other hand, he can’t control the jealousy inside him, wanting to go wild. Yet, he’s afraid that if he does lose it, he’ll upset you, so he can only wrestle with himself. Ah, just thinking about it feels so agonizing." Raina gritted her teeth, "Quinn, be honest, are you deliberately trying to scare me?" Updates are released by novᴇlfire.net "No way!" Quinn exclaimed, feeling wronged, "Am I that kind of person? How about this, if you don’t believe me, come to The Dark Tower yourself. If I’m lying, you can beat me to death. If I so much as frown, I’m not a man." "No need for your nonsense." Raina climbed out of bed, changed into a clean set of clothes, and drove straight to The Dark Tower. The past week had been busy, but every time the night was quiet or she took a moment’s break, besides thinking of the little ones, the person she thought of most was Elias Hawthorne. The brief separation after reuniting made her realize more clearly. Raina admitted she must now acknowledge. Trapped in the big net Elias Hawthorne spun, like a moth to a flame, unable to free herself. And what was worse, she didn’t really want to escape. She had even unconsciously thought many times that once the issues with The Umbral Zone were settled, she would go back to Southgate with Elias. After they found Bobby, maybe, just like Quinn said, having a little one wouldn’t be too bad. Lost in all these thoughts, Raina’s expression was exceptionally gentle.
