She opened the door for him as she recognized him.
He said, “Hello, My Lady. How are you?”
She wondered what an important man from the
town wanted from her.
“I am fine,” she said. “How can I help you, sir?”
He sighed knowing how difficult his task was.
“Lady Tania, I heard that Wesley came and proposed to
you in marriage and that you refused.
“What I want to tell you, as I am a man who
understands the conditions in this town and nearby places,
is that life is so difficult and full of danger. A lady like you,
with two children, as the ones you have, is susceptible to
danger if there is no man to protect her.
“For that, I strongly advise you to accept his
proposal. I am saying that because it is for you interest in
the first place.”
She was so clever and knew that he was lying and
was trying to look like an innocent angel who wanted to
protect her family and her. She knew that he came only
because his criminal friend asked him to.
She said, “Thank you, sir, for caring so much about
my children and me.
“But, of course, you know that marriage carries a
lot of duties and that a wife should exert great efforts to
satisfy her husband. Unfortunately, I do not have the
enough power for this because I need all my power to look
after my little children.”
