The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488

What infuriated Willow even more was that Michael hadn’t shared her bed since their wedding night. Now that the was injured, he was simply in another excuse to avoid intimacy, she thought bitterly.

When Eloise arrived, Willow threw herself into her mother’s as, sobbing uncontrollably. “Mother…”

She wept so hard she could barely breathe, tears streaming down her cheeks. Seeing her daughter like this, Eloise felt her heart shatter “My dear child what’s troubling you? Come, tell me everything”

“Mother, I’ve suffered so much.” Willow sobbed, her voice catching with sobs as the poured out her entire story to Elise.

Eloise gasped sharply. “You mean… all this time, you two haven’t been intimate?”

Willow shook her head tearfully, her sobs growinger

Eloise let out a sigh. “Men are all the same–the harder something is to got, the more they crave it. When you were still living at home, he went out of his way to win your affection. But now that he has you, he just takes you for granted”

Willow clutched Elise’s arm in desperation and pleaded, “Mother, please help me! What should I do?”

Looking at her tearful beauty, Eloise thought for a moment and said, “If you want to win a man’s heart back, you have to make him miss you. Stay quietly at home for a few days, and then I’ll have someone send word that I’ve fallen ill and need you to come nurse me. Once you’re not by his side, he’ll surely start to miss you.”

“It’s all about your brother Matthew Now that he’s of marriageable age, I’ve looked around and only the Maynard family seems a good match. But Since he doesn’t have a job right now, I’m worried that if we go and propose directly, they might tum us down. That’s why I wanted you to sound out the Maynards for me first.”

Willow thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Violas actually quite decent–just a bit nitpicky. She’s quite attractive, and otherwise, there’s nothing to fault.”

Viola was the legitimate daughter of the Maynard family Under Mrs. Maynard’s harsh rule, her concubine–bom half–sisters were firmly suppressed, with no hope of ever rising above their station.

Matthew were to marry Viola, that’d be a real bargain.

Aber all, the entire Maynard family was in Viola’s mother’s hands.

If Viola married into the Monson family, her dowry would surely be substantial.

Eloise, knowing she’d need Kelsey to act as a go–between, was already thinking about arranging a meeting with Mrs. Mayn asked, “Is your mother–in–law feeling better?”

“She’s almost recovered, but she still has no energy and just lies in bed all day,” Willow complained, her face darkening at the mention of Kelsey,

Whenever she went, she had to serve tea and water, and if Kelsey was in a bad mood, she’d have to endure an hour of scolding
