Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Even the Kindest Heart Can Feel Jealousy

"T-then, please excuse me, Your Majesty. I-I still have many things to do!" Meredith bowed once more and scurried out of Swan’s room.

Meredith seemed to be a very meek, honest and hardworking girl, which reminded Swan of herself when she was just a maid working in the Holy Achate Palace.

’But she is cuter and has a pair of working legs,’ Swan thought.

As ridiculous as it seemed, she still felt a bit envious of women who weren’t a cripple like her. Sometimes, she fantasized about wearing those beautiful heels that Aria wore, which made a rhythmic tapping sound that alerted everyone whenever she strutted at a party.

Swan also wanted to dance, just like Aria when she danced with those men at the party.

Swan had no intention of dancing with those men, simply because she wasn’t comfortable with those men to begin with.

However, she still wished to dance alone in her room before. Now that she already had a husband whom she loved so much, Swan wished that she could dance with Gale.

’I should’ve danced with him in the dream before,’ Swan thought. ’Maybe if I can enter his dream again, I will ask him to dance with me. It would be fantastic.’

Unfortunately, as much as Swan loved the idea, she knew it was all just a dream in the end, and she still couldn’t dance with her husband in real life.

’Does that mean Meredith can dance with Gale if he finally moves on from me instead?’ Swan thought, and her heart began to burn in jealousy as she imagined Gale dancing with another woman.

She knew that she wasn’t supposed to feel this way when Gale hadn’t done anything wrong, but it made her mad just imagining Gale with another woman.

’This loneliness will make me go mad. How long will I have to suffer? Does he not realize I can feel very lonely too?!’

Swan felt overstimulated for a moment. She quickly looked away to the window, so the cat maids wouldn’t see her eyes glazing with tears.

After she calmed down, Swan told herself;

’Don’t be selfish, Swan. You’re being punished for a mistake that should’ve cost your life. It was already fortunate enough that Gale spared you. You have no place to question whatever he wants to do.’

Swan kept telling herself that she would be alright if Gale ended up doing something with that new maid.

But the more she tried to convince herself, the more she knew she was just lying to herself.
