Chapter 116 Hannah Had An Accident

• Augustus didn't make me any promises, merely declaring that he would protect me. Despite that, I didn't ask him for any promises either. Although I had had intimate relations with him, I understood that it was merely a consensual game in the adult world.
• It was enough for him to have said that he would protect me, for what else could I hope for? I never gave any thought to how long I would stay by his side or how my future would look like. The only thing I knew was to not harbor any hope so that I could nonchalantly leave him when he asked me to do so one day.
• After all, he couldn't possibly remain a bachelor his entire life considering his status, so some other woman would still be his wife if not Olivia. And needless to say, no aristocratic wife would be willing to put up with another woman having a dubious relationship with her husband. I knew my place well enough, after all.
