"Insult me all you want... I just don't get why they would drag you into it." Monica's voice carried a hint of grievance.
Upon hearing this, Victor couldn't help but chuckle, "Because you and I... are fundamentally one. Are you upset over this ruined scene? This doesn't seem like you... not the woman who shines on the runway, nor the assertive Monica who auditions for roles."
"I can't stand it when people slander or criticize you, not one bit."
Victor stroked Monica's hair and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, "So how should we settle this score for all the times you've been insulted because of me?"
Monica took a deep breath, feeling that her love for Victor was deepening, transforming her fundamental outlook on some matters. After marrying Victor, she became emotional over every little thing about him... his refusal to take medication when ill, his neglect of headaches...
It seems that to love someone can indeed have such a profound impact.
