Chapter 139
I opened my eyes to someone trying to move me.
“Ah, Laria.”
Evan said embarrassedly.
“I tried to lay you down because you looked uncomfortable, but you woke up.”
Looking around, it was already dark. It seemed that I must’ve fallen asleep at his bedside.
“To fall asleep here makes me look like a fool.”
He sighed, shaking his head.
“No, I heard everything from Nathan. You said you barely slept.”
“Yes.”
As he picked me up and carefully placed me on the bed, Evan lay down next to me. Come to think of it, it’d been a long time since we were lying side by side like this.
“I’ll check one more time.”
Evan responded casually to my words and changed the topic altogether.
“I didn’t dream it, right? You…you like me, too, don’t you?”
I answered while looking at his red eyes.
“No, I didn’t like you.”
As despair began to linger in Evan’s eyes, I quickly added my words.
“I already liked you.”
“Huh?”
“I told you I like you. A long time ago.”
“….”
“I even avenged you with Lord Gerdi, but didn’t you really notice?”
I first took his hand and smiled.
“I ran away to revive Lady Matilda and let you live a happy childhood…”
At those words, Evan looked at me for a moment before he took a deep breath and slapped himself on the cheek again.
“Evan!”
“…It is not a dream.”
“Why is this a dream?!”
“Then, tell me one more time.”
He begged in a trembling voice.
“One more time.”
“I love you, Evan. I really like you. Maybe from a long time ago.”
“Please… one more time.”
“Should I repeat all night?”
“No, your throat will hurt. Though one more thing. Serena says you should never get pregnant, is that a lie?”
“Is it?”
Even though I’ve never heard that from Serena, it might be either because it was a long time ago or I didn’t even remember her.
‘Or I forgot because I was drunk and the film was cut.’
Thinking that, I thought I needed to ask her later.
“I don’t know. Could it be that Serena was drinking?”
“She did look drunk.”
I seemed vaguely aware of what had happened. I was lost in thought for a moment, then Evan said again as he brushed my hair.
“It was hard.”
My body froze at the low whisper of heat.
“If you like… if you love it, it is only natural that you will want it.”
My heart was a little tingly. It was the guilt of Evan caring too much for me while I was cheating on him, pretending to be sick.
“But, Evan… As you may know, I am a bit different from the person you have been seeing for seven years.”
Although I wanted to say that the woman he loved so much was a different version of me, he shook his head.
“I didn’t like you because you were weak and nice. Rather…”
He added shyly.
“I was thrilled when you ordered me at a banquet.”
It was a bit strange to see him as he blushed, as if he was embarrassed by my mean-looking face.
“Order me again.”
I was silent for a moment, imagining a very ferocious dog wagging its tail.
“You used to say the same thing.”
— Well, when I’m well, I don’t know how I’ll behave.
— Anyway, regardless of that, I think I’m going to like you.
However, I felt like I knew what that feeling was. If I went back in time, I wanted to see Evan again, no matter how he grew up, if I remember.
While I was thinking about that, Evan uttered sullenly.
“I had a hard time.”
“…What?”
“Even though I like you, I can’t express it and I want to hug you, but I can’t hold your hand recklessly because I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”
“….”
“It was hard, Laria.”
“Is that so?”
“Won’t you sympathize?”
“…Huh?”
“Laria.”
Then, he held my hand tightly.
“…If you feel sorry for me, please come back to Icard.”
I answered without the slightest hesitation.
“It’s not that I feel sorry for you, I’ve already decided to go back.”
“Then… will you continue to live as my wife, as you have always been?”
“Yes.”
When I answered again, he grinned brightly before all of a sudden, his poor puppy-like atmosphere changed dramatically.
“You can’t break your promise now.”
The pathetic whimper until now was nowhere to be found as he slowly stroked my cheek with a somewhat insidious and dangerous expression.
“Laria… Then, there are so many things I want to do right now… I’ve been patient for a long time…”
“Huh?”
There were no more words.
He came over and kissed me on the lips. Obviously, since we had kissed before, it wasn’t even the first time, but as my heart was beating again, strength began to make my toes curl.
His hands moved slowly and carefully through my cheeks, earlobes, and neck. It was as if he was holding all the things he had seen in his eyes. The movement of his mouth was rough, but the touches along the nape of my neck and down my collarbone were so friendly and cautious that there was a big gap.
I thought to myself.
‘He’s cautious the first time, but he’s unstoppable the second time, so maybe next time…’
“Uuhp, uuhp…”
It was too much to take it any longer, I gripped his arm tightly and his lips fell in regret. Though rather, with thicker fingers, he slowly drew a circle on my shoulder and whispered in a languid tone.
“You said you would allow it.”
His voice was whining, but I had already noticed that it was artificial.
“You said that when it gets dark, you will allow more.”
“Ung… I’m embarrassed…it’s my first—”
I answered hesitantly, and Evan’s eyes almost lost focus on my words.
“Fi, first?”
“Yes, because I made you wait too long.”
It felt like training a beast that had already gone mad. I smiled lightly and held Evan’s hand, who seemed to be on the verge of turning slightly.
“It’s dark outside, and if we sleep holding hands like this, the baby will…”
And I learned very well that night how pranks on crazy beasts can get you in trouble.
The next morning, we had a meal together for the first time in a long time. Sleeping in the same room and having breakfast together was somehow new, like during our childhood.
‘Of course, there was a heaven and earth difference from childhood…’
Obviously, although Evan hadn’t slept well in the meantime, too, his face was refreshed after a day, and my face was slightly tired.
“I’m not dreaming right now.”
Evan spoke slowly before breakfast.
“A strange dream in which the devil comes out and the cat talks.”
I couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“Evan, my lips are swollen…”
Yesterday, when I showed signs of being a bit burdened, I was able to get a kiss from him.
“Then, I will do it.”
In the end, I was able to eat breakfast only after receiving a lot of small kisses on the forehead, cheeks, and tip of the nose.
I started a real conversation.
“I heard that you used the truth drug on Baron Ravonis’ servant.”
Honestly, when I heard the name ‘Audrey,’ I was worried that he might have been tortured severely.
However, after hearing the true drug matter from Nathan, I was relieved but at the same time dumbfounded. While I thought it would be leaked to the outside after seeing that Medor had used it, I didn’t know that Evan leaked it the same way. It was clearly illegal and a punishment factor.
“I couldn’t help it. My eyes are overturned.”
Originally, I heard that the truth came out only in front of an opponent with an intense energy of black magic, but it was clear that he also had a strong energy and recited the truth.
I bit my lower lip and rolled my eyes for a moment before asking the most important question.
“How much did you pay?”
“Huh?”
“How much did you pay? I noticed that you could buy it from the magician with money from when he started talking about sponsorship.”
“Ah… I didn’t give much.”
“You know I’m in charge of the budget, right? How much money did you spend on that crazy drug? Tell me now.”
“I will take care of it at my own expense.”
Evan must have noticed my murderous behavior and quickly changed the subject.
“Anyway, that’s why the servant didn’t get hurt.”
Of course, the servant Paul was now confined in a public hospital, but I heard from Nathan that he was really fine. Even the fact that he was resting in a single room while receiving the highest level of treatment.
‘Oh, my God, how much is the hospital bill per day…’
“Did you say it was a single room? Get him discharged immediately. That servant will need more freedom now.”
“Yes.”
Evan immediately responded.
“If you have another order, tell me.”
His eyes narrowed mischievously.
“Because I’m excited.”
“….”
Looking at Evan, I thought I could understand why he was weird.
Having kept these things hidden, of course, I couldn’t help but think that it was some kind of strange tenderness. Even though my intuition was great, the problem was that I believed Evan’s lies about not wanting me as a woman.
“Rather than orders… there is one more thing I would like to say.”
I grinned as I pushed him the cake. As it has been every year so far, I had to say what the old Laria wanted so much to say.
—“I want to say happy birthday to you on your 21st birthday.”
“Happy birthday.”
