Certainly! Here’s the translated passage following your guidelines:
At the sight of Ellen’s eyes, which he saw for the first time, Philip felt a strange feeling.
The blue eyes, which always radiated a snakelike energy, looked pure and clear today.
‘Could it be, is she devising a new scheme?’
Philip remembered Ellen’s eyes, shedding tears, clinging to him.
It had happened more than once or twice, but strangely, this time, the mere imagination made his heart weak.
‘Pull yourself together.’
Philip shook his head inwardly, clenching his fist.
If he showed signs of wavering, Ellen would immediately cling and beg him through the night.
‘For the next hundred days, I must never give in.’
He made a vow, avoiding eye contact with Ellen, focusing on the road.
From the end of the road, the carriage with Marlboro and Laila approaching could be seen.
Philip thought he wouldn’t take his eyes off the carriage until they arrived.
“……”
But Ellen’s pupils did not know where else to go.
Philip calmly composed his voice.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“The thing I hit you with……”
To bring up that topic in a place where everyone had lined up. This wicked woman must be planning to drag down the dignity of the family.
Philip inwardly sent only a cold glare, feeling a little dizzy.
“I’m wondering if you’re okay now.”
The injury from Ellen’s blow had almost healed, leaving only faint traces.
But Philip turned his eyes straight ahead without answering.
“……”
He didn’t want to say whether it was okay or not.
He knew his swordsmanship was no less remarkable than a knight, but he didn’t know his martial arts were more excellent.
If struck, he would accurately choose only the painful spots and strike them.
Besides, somehow, she managed to lift Philip, who is 190 centimeters tall, into the air.
It was fortunate that Ellen, being a lady, had hands and feet not as sturdy as a warrior.
If a man had used such martial arts, Philip’s suffering would not have ended briefly.
Recalling the memory of one week ago in the morning, Philip’s mood turned sour. A part of his heart felt tightly knotted.
“It’s the first time you’ve been hit by me, isn’t it?”
‘Ha!’
A stifled laugh burst out inwardly.
“I’m sorry for hitting you.”
He felt sincerity in Ellen’s apology. That made it even more unbelievable.
“……”
“It won’t happen again.”
Phew, Philip composed his breath inwardly. There was something he was curious about.
She often used violence, but this was the first time he was the target.
“I’ll ask one thing. Why did you do it?”
“I was surprised.”
It was an unexpected answer.
“Surprised?”
“I opened my eyes, and there was a man.”
A man? A husband who could share a bedroom at any time, even after stamping the divorce papers?
Her next response was outrageous.
“I forgot about last night for a moment.”
Philip’s eyebrows twisted.
“You forgot? Even when you said you wanted it while stamping the papers?”
Ellen, looking embarrassed, only turned her eyes away, slightly poking her thin little finger into her ear.
“Well…… that could happen, but I could forget in my sleep.”
“……!?”
How could she forget that hot night?
Looking as if nothing had happened, Ellen’s attitude of tossing her words made no sense to Philip.
The difference in temperature between her a week ago and today was like fire and ice, contrasting sharply.
With Ellen’s unexpected reaction, Philip, forgetting that people were around, asked again.
“You were very satisfied, weren’t you? To borrow the expression of my wife, it was incredible.”
“What? Incredible? What is it?”
What indeed, it was obvious with this much mention.
But Ellen seemed to have no idea what he was talking about.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know? You said so, didn’t you?”
Ellen’s eyes widened.
By this point, he needed to make her understand exactly. Philip’s eyes went down and then back up.
Only then did Ellen, who realized the meaning of his words, turn her face red in astonishment.
“……”
She lowered her voice as if it would be a big problem if anyone heard.
“Pervert? Why would you ask such a thing?”
“Per…pervert?”
“You’re not crazy, are you? I clearly told you I was worthless, didn’t I?”
Philip’s head throbbed at the string of vulgar words.
It was as if he could still hear her voice, shouting, ‘What’s wrong with you? The Yellow River? Bullshit! You were really worthless!’
‘It doesn’t make sense! After loving her like that…’
Philip was in considerable shock, but he quickly came to a conclusion.
Ellen was undoubtedly lying to avoid divorce.
Philip recalled the second divorce document in his office.
He had planned to stamp the final divorce document that morning.
To make it irreversible, no matter what that wicked woman did.
But he had forgotten the document itself due to the unexpected blow.
Philip resolved to return to his office and stamp the document as soon as he had greeted the children.
“Ha, unbelievable.”
Then Ellen clapped her hands as if even more flabbergasted.
“I’m the one who’s unbelievable, you know?”
