¿Qué significa I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn't talk to me for about three days. And she'd asked! ?

He spoiled ending of TV drama and she got angry. I understand it. But what does "And she'd asked" mean? Did he abbreviate words?

He doesn’t directly say, but I am sure he meant the opposite of what you wrote.

“She has asked me to tell her, and I told her.” (I took the “not” out)

“And she’d asked me” was being used by Kit Harington as an explanation for why told her.

“she’d” is a contraction for “she had”.

“she had asked” uses the past perfect form of “ask”. It means she asked before he told her the ending.

@decha Thank you so much for answering my question. So he meant "She had asked me not to tell her the ending, before I told her the ending"?

@decha Oh, I got it all wrong. So she didn't want to know the ending, but she asked him. I can't understand why she asked him, but I understand the meaning of "And she'd asked" and what he meant. Thank you so much for answering. Thank you for your kindness.
