Chapter 71 You Are Important

• Cody lowers his head and does not say a word. I am sitting on his fat. I cross my hands and I move my fingers restlessly. I do not know what Cody will do to me. “ Emelia, I...” I raise my head and turn to Cody. “ I am sorry.” I let out a sigh of relief. “ What are you apologizing for?” Cody waits for a few seconds and looks me in the eye. “ I am sorry for calling you... slut.”
• “ Am I a slut?” I raise my eyebrows. Cody shakes his head. “ No, you are not. I was... I was just really mad and my anger was controlling me. I know you are going to think that this is a stupid excuse but I really did not mean to call you that. I know you are not a slut.” I nod. “Ok.” Cody is surprised that I let him go so easily. In my opinion, there is no point to hold grudges and stay mad at him when I know I am going to forgive him eventually. I have to survive in this palace. The only way I can survive in this palace is by being his slave and obtaining his respect and love. It is meaningless to be mad at him and make him hate me.
• I put on a miserable facial expression. “ Just that?” Cody turns away his eyes and thinks for a while. Finally, he says, “ Sorry for squeezing your neck.” I pout. “ It really hurts. Cody, do not do it again, OK?” Cody nods. “ I will try my best to control myself next time.” I purse my lips and ask, “ What else are you sorry for?” Cody frowns. He is impatient now. “ Nothing else.” I sigh. “ should not you apologize for suspecting me of murdering you?” Cody closes his eyes and says in a bad manner. “ You do you want to leave me and go home.” I punch at the bed and say angrily,” I want to go home does not mean I want to kill you. Why can not you and my family both exist?” Cody does not look at me.
