Return to Old Self

Jillian reads the letter that Abelia sent to her husband, Dion. It turned out that they had been corresponding behind her back through letters, and now that Abelia was back, she could spend time with Dion in person.

Her chest felt so tight knowing that, all this time she had been trying to care for Dion. Helping him and defending him when Ferid belittled him, trying not to make a scene with him again so that they wouldn't always be fighting.

But it all must have been nothing in that man's eyes.

"He once accused me of having an affair with Aileen back then, even going so far as to demean me. I still feel guilty after scolding and slapping him for that. But look who actually cheated on me? Heh... How ridiculous," Jillian said as she laughed, though her tears were still flowing.

She put the letter back under the mattress, where it had been and acted as if nothing had happened. Although she really wanted to vent her anger and disappointment.

But why?
