The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Pandora’s Box

His voice grew colder afterward. "And I want to know who the people were that hurt you in the past."

[So I can make them pay for the sins they committed against you back then.] His eyes darkened slightly as those thoughts crossed his mind. [They made you suffer, and it would be extremely irritating if they also reincarnated and ended up living good lives.]

Primrose swallowed hard because she didn’t even fully know all the terrible things the Cardinal had done to her in the past, and maybe there were even other people involved too.

Part of her wanted to know the truth, but another part of her was terrified to uncover it.

After all, there were some things that were better left sealed inside Pandora’s box, because once opened, they could bring nothing but pain and disaster.

"Maybe someday we’ll get our answer," Primrose said softly. "But for now, we should focus on solving the problems in front of us, and Edmund..."

Her voice grew quieter near the end. She lowered her head even more before finally saying, "Some of the things the mysterious voice said were true."

Edmund’s arms tightened around her slightly. "What part?" he asked carefully, though his expression showed that he already had a guess.

"I..." Primrose took a deep breath before finally forcing herself to continue. "I chose to die because I wanted to make you feel... guilty."

Her voice cracked near the end. "Back then, I knew... I knew the maid had slipped something strange into my soup, but I... I..."

She suddenly stopped talking because she couldn’t continue it. Her hand instinctively grabbed Edmund’s tightly because deep down, she was afraid he would push her away after hearing the truth.

But instead of pushing her away, Edmund only tightened his hold around her even more and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I understand," Edmund replied softly. "I’m not happy with your choice, but I understand, my wife."

His voice sounded calm, but the guilt inside him grew heavier. [You did that because I was a terrible husband.]

[It wasn’t your fault. It was mine.]

Primrose wanted to say something back, but no words came out because both of them already knew that their poor communication had allowed misunderstandings to pile up higher and higher until they eventually destroyed their relationship.

"I’m so sorry," she whispered at last.

Edmund answered in a low voice that sounded almost like a whisper. "Don’t be."

After that, silence fell between them.

The conversation had become too heavy, and Primrose didn’t want to cry in front of so many people, so in the end, neither of them spoke again.

They simply held each other’s hands quietly throughout the rest of the journey until they finally arrived at the Duke of Illvaris’ manor.

"I’m glad we didn’t run into anything strange on the way," Solene said with a relieved sigh.

She helped Primrose climb down from the horse before carefully fixing her appearance.

She quickly walked over to help Primrose climb down from the horse before gently fixing her slightly messy clothes. "Is your body alright, Your Majesty?" Solene asked worriedly. "That long ride must’ve made your waist hurt."

Primrose gave her a small smile. "It hurts a little, but I’m fine."

The moment Edmund heard that, his hand moved toward her waist almost on reflex, but halfway there, he suddenly stopped himself and slowly pulled his hand back.
