The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 168 I was stunned when I saw him. I wasn’t the only one who was surprised. “Who are you?” The maid seemed bewildered by the stranger’s appearance. Shi-eon naturally introduced herself with a smirk with her eyes wide open. “This is Lee Shi-eon who started working as a gardener here yesterday.” What? You got a job as a gardener? I stare at him in disbelief, and he responds with his trademark pretty smile.No, is this time for you to smile? “What do you mean, you saw me pushing Rose?” Oops. Now was not the time to be silent. I saw Hannah asking Shi-eon in a hurry. It would be difficult if Shi-eon got caught by Hanna. I still haven’t quite figured out who Hannah is. Until you know what ‘something’ Hannah has, you should never act hastily. “I think the gardener got it wrong! Hannah reached out her hand to hold me.” I grinned like a fool and hastily explained, and most seemed to be convinced.I wonder how many people here take my words straight away. Most would have guessed that the truth was somewhere else. Still, everyone chose to keep their mouths shut. That’s how things seemed to come to an end. “Rose, can you move?” “Of course!” “Then you can’t do any hard work today. You can go get the flowers from the gardener this afternoon.” The cleaning was rescheduled to something easier. Once the commotion died down, everyone who’d been stung left, one by one. Only Shi-eon and Hannah remain. Shi-eon looked up at Hannah without a word and came to me. “Sister, are you okay? Can you get up?” “Yes…” I forced my screaming body up with his support. Hannah looked down at me and said with a pitying look. “I’ll tell Master Anri. You can’t work because you’re sick, so I’ll take your place.” “……” “I’ll add that I think you’ll be fine in a few days. Hopefully, Master Anri’s interest in you will have faded by then.” Is that the real…. ‘Should I just punch her in the face?’ I’m not sure I want to work so badly after all this. I sighed. ‘No, I can’t. I need to earn money to pay off my debts.’ In fact, I don’t intend to waste all my money to pay off other people’s debts.The most important thing above all is to create my own emergency fund. All the money I spend when I come here is the money that Richard earned. ‘It can’t be like this.’ You need enough money to be able to live on your own. You don’t know what’s going to happen with human affairs. “Shi-eon, why are you here?” Hannah left and I asked him. “The gardener job here was vacant, so I asked the butler. I know how to take care of a garden.” “… The butler. How the hell do you know him?” Instead of answering, Shi-eon just smiled quietly. I sighed. It’s not an easy situation to understand, but what can I do because I’m suspicious of Shi-eon? “By the way, how did you see Hannah push me? Obviously no one was there before…” Where the hell did he come out of nowhere? “Why did you lie like that? Why didn’t you say she pushed you?” “… You’re a kid, you don’t know. There are grown-up things that happen here.” “I’m not a kid.” “Yeah, yeah.” I asked how old he was. Last I heard, he was in his early twenties. Young, yes. I nodded, then realized that I wasn’t that much older. It felt very strange that I was in my early twenties. Why? At that moment, I felt a splitting pain in my head. As if I could remember something… “Sister.” Then Shi-eon called me. Black eyes that had subsided even more contained me. “I am not young.” With those words, I was able to forget the headache that was bothering me and smile. “I know.” Shi-eon didn’t like my reply. Regardless, I asked him to repeat what Chelsea had said. He rolled his eyes at my childishness.  **** “Be careful.” “The Savior’s men are on the move, looking for you. If you remain on the this estate, you will be discovered.” Richard had heard the dire warning from my man today. He, too, was growing concerned. If I continue to stay here, Rose may discover my true identity. How many assassins have I already killed today? The screams of the assassin, who was vomiting blood, seemed to still be heard. Richard’s routine was mainly like this. They receive reports of what is happening and torture or kill the spies. Then clean up and return home to avoid being seen by Rose. It felt good when she hugged him, but he was nervous that she would smell the blood on him. “And finally, the last item you mentioned.” His man had barely finished speaking when he placed an elegant box in front of Richard. Richard opened it immediately. The pink diamond sparkled with brilliance. It was a famous gem that had been in the newspapers not long ago. There was a lot of excitement when it was announced that the coveted gem was up for auction. Richard felt that the pink diamond was similar to Rose’s eyes, and he coveted it as much as anyone else. He enlisted his men to auction it off, and now he had it. The jewelry was meant to be given to Rose. However, if there is a problem… How can I give it to her?Rose would be worried that he might have bought it with debt. Richard gazed at the jewelry and groaned.The gem, as brilliant as her eyes, seemed to curse him. She’s finally gone mad. Richard grabbed the box and stood up. It was late. It was time to go back to the hut. Richard’s footsteps through the trees and into the forest were full of anticipation.On the way to the hut, what Richard saw was Rose, who had not been able to climb all the way up the forest and was sitting on a rock and resting. Richard was going to call her right away. If only she hadn’t struggled to lift her skirt.He turned his head, startled by the sudden action, and noticed the bruises on her legs. “Ugh. I got bruised after all.” “…….” “No matter how crazy you are, how can you push someone?” At that moment, Richard felt something snapped inside him. “Who pushed you?” “… Richard? When did you come?” She was startled and hurriedly tried to pull her skirt down, but he stopped her. He slowly lifted her skirt and checked for any other injuries. “Is this the only place you’re hurt?” “No, this is why I fell and broke my leg….” “Who pushed?” How dare… Richard clenched his fists as he swallowed the vicious words that lingered in his mouth. “It wasn’t a big deal.” “If it wasn’t a big deal, why are you so hurt?” “It’s just… someone pushed me and I fell.” “You said someone pushed you.” “It was pushed by a drunkard.” She explained that it was true.But Richard didn’t believe her easily. He sensed that Rose was hiding something from him. “Wife, are you hiding something from me?” Rose’s pupils fluttered for a moment.But she soon shook her head with a smile. “Of course not.” Lie. But when she said she wasn’t, so I couldn’t find out more. “Give me a hug.” That’s when Rose opened her arms as if she wanted to be hugged. Richard’s stiff expression quickly dissipated. He couldn’t stand Rose at all. So he had to choose a way not to be hated by her. All I can do is find out what happened to Rose and what she is doing behind my back, quietly. Richard’s blue eyes shone sharply.
