Jiang Siwan's eyes scanned my face once more, she didn't lose control despite being called 'Madam' by someone she thought might have raped her daughter, her gaze growing sharper and colder.
But she wasn't over the top, nor did she scream and shout blame. "Did you do it..." A long pause followed before she took a shallow breath and straightened her shoulders. "Did you rape her?"
The honest and clear-cut question gave me a sense of relief; there was no game or plot.
Jiang Siwan was just a mother worried for her daughter.
"No."
Her body quivered as I continued. "We had sex for the first time last night... because of my size and how rough it might have caused such damage, there was no intent to harm or hurt Roulan."
I could be honest and explain everything now, but that wouldn't help things; I needed to show this woman that I cared about Jiang Roulan with clear, sincere words.
"Do you understand why I would worry?" The question came after a long pause.
"Of course."
