Chapter 219
“Even if I fail, the worst I’ll get is being called a beggar or splashed with water.”
“…Just wait a few days and I’ll gather enough money. It’s better to trust me and wait. I’ll think of something else Isella Evans might like.”
“Sir Raymond, stop doing unpleasant things and just watch.”
“Unpleasant…”
“Lord Raymond, it’s your actions that are unpleasant. I mean, I know that you did it for me, but… You went as far as kidnapping and killing her, but that method failed. I’ll handle it my way this time, in this life.”
Raymond was not at all in favor of the idea of borrowing money, but Carynne thought it might be a solution.
People feel more positive when they give help than when they receive it. That’s probably why parents love their children more—they give more.
Carynne, who had never had children, wouldn’t know, but it’s commonly the case. Maybe Isella would prefer being able to give something rather than just receiving gifts.
‘Wait, Isella did give me gifts a few times before to show off, but.’
Carynne shook her head. Giving something as a show-off and feeling gratified by helping someone in need are different. Maybe Isella would find a new sense of fulfillment in helping Carynne.
If things worked out, this could be an opportunity to become friends with Isella.
