Chapter 18 fourth quarter

Mariko stood frozen in front of the destroyed portrait for a while, and after the shock disappeared, anger arose spontaneously, because she felt very unhappy and angry as if her face had been smeared with paint in a mess. The destroyer must be the husband, and the husband must have gone home after drinking with Fuutarou Egami and vented his inner anger on that portrait, right? This is in line with the practice of the husband.Mariko thinks so. Her husband is self-willed and timid by nature. He must be very unhappy to see her locked up with the well. However, because he didn't have the courage to tell her, he had to drink away his sorrow and vent his anger on this portrait. On the next day, the face of the portrait was painted in a mess. Mariko thought that Tajima must have scolded "Beast! Beast!" while painting the face of the portrait with a red brush.

Mariko felt that the gap between her and her husband was deepening, and it was too stupid to express jealousy in a child's way. The image of a famous genius artist completely disappeared from Mariko's heart. Mariko put the "Portrait of the Mistress" back in the cupboard, and the love for her husband that remained in her heart disappeared after seeing this portrait. This kind of despicable and narrow-minded husband is no longer worthy of her love. What's more, the husband's behavior clearly shows that this is not love, but pure jealousy. Mariko left the studio, thinking that she would have to run away from home tomorrow, even if she stayed in a hotel, because she didn't want to see her husband again.Mariko made up her mind so much, her mood became much more comfortable, and she was no longer so angry and unhappy.

Compared with hatred, Mariko has more pity for her husband's timidity. Only with hatred can there be love, and compassion is just the residue of love. Maybe the love for her husband has disappeared, so Mariko doesn't hate her husband so much anymore, right? Three years of love life ended in this way. For Mariko, trusting her husband and loving her husband deeply did not find it funny, but thought she was so stupid. She was still young then, so she could not see the absurd character of her husband.Now that she has seen her husband's true face in Lushan, the relationship between the two is over.
