Chapter 104
He was a quick-witted man.
He knew right away that Selena didn’t consider himself as the opposite sex. Even so, he coveted that heart so much that he kept revealing his own heart.
However, the result was always the same.
His unchanging heart overwhelmed him.
Memories of Selena began to emerge in his mind gradually. Like a swelling cloud, or like boiling lava.
When he holds her hand, when he holds her in his arms, when they dance together, when she cuts his hair, when they face each other late at night.
Selena was always the same.
Unlike him, who changed steadily every day from their first meeting to today, he was out of control, impulsive, and at the same time rational, hot and cold.
Yes, Selena was the same as always.
It wasn’t just a matter of her facial expression or the tone of her voice. That was because she didn’t change in front of anyone or in any situation.
‘No, she doesn’t, right?’
The image of Selena smiling at Aiden appeared in Lucas’ mind. His fingertips pressed on his throbbing, tingling chest.
At any rate, the ‘it was always the same’ that he was talking about was about relationships.
After making the heart tremble at the words she threw, she opened the person’s mind…… For Selena, he was just that ‘trustworthy family friend.’
That day in the first place, the day he and Selena first met. Would he have been able to get out of this relationship if he had held her hand.
Could he have moved on to a relationship between a woman and a man, rather than a relationship like ‘dear friend’s dear sister’?
Numerous regrets continued every night. No, regret continued every moment.
Was it already compromised several times today?
Selena’s meaningless words made his heart thump. Even before he confessed to give his heart, how many times did his heart waver?
Even now, still the same.
The answer to his brief confession is perhaps, very possibly…… His fingertips tingled with the unlikely anticipation of a positive answer.
It was a fleeting moment, but to Lucas it was an eternity.
However, on the contrary, the person who heard the confession, Selena, showed no sign of panic.
She just tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders.
Her attitude seemed to say, ‘Why are you saying that all of a sudden?’ Lucas smiled dejectedly.
With that action just now, the impossible expectations were shattered and gone.
Ah, he liked this side of her, even this side is lovely. He has to give up on this person.
Behind his smile, he looked at Selena, keeping a smile as natural as possible. His stiff face had long since relaxed.
Selena had been staring at him without reply, and before long, her lips parted.
“Yes, well. I like you, too.”
“Hahahaha.”
Lucas burst into laughter. Like when he met her in the backyard one day. Just like when he saw the face of the woman who calmly asked for help with her head stuck in a pile of grass.
Lucas remembered Selena that day and swept at his face.
Oh, look at that calm face.
Just look at that expression, never expecting that the phrase ‘I like’ she spat out could have a rational meaning.
On the contrary, if she had refused by openly saying, ‘I’ve never had feelings for Sir Lucas like that,’ that meant she actually thought of him as a member of the opposite sex…… Thinking that, a lingering feeling might have remained in one corner of his heart.
However, after all, for Selena, he is…….
“I can’t even think of an idea…….”
Lucas muttered to himself, wiping the moisture from the corners of his eyes from his continued laughter.
He patted at his disheveled clothing. Like changing his appearance to pretend to be polite before meeting other people.
After tidying up his clothes, Lucas put on a relaxed smile.
His eyes were mixed with the deepest joy and relief.
Selena looked at Lucas, who suddenly laughed, like he was a weirdo, then she took a step away from him.
“Yes, I am honored that you like me, Selena.”
Selena slowly nodded at his calm voice. Of course, in her heart, she was thinking, ‘What did he eat wrong today….?’
Lucas’ unrequited love that the other person didn’t notice until the moment he confessed…… It was the end of his first love.
Lucas shut his mouth for a moment at my good night, then his mouth curled deeply, and he held out his palm.
Huh? What……. Do you want me to put my hand on you?
Hesitatingly wriggling my hand, I rolled my eyes and met Lucas’ gaze.
Lucas made eye contact with me and lifted his hand once, wanting me to hurry. It also seemed to make sense to raise my hand.
What kind of thing is this all of a sudden?
Such questions soared, but is it only now that this person has been acting strangely?
He’d been weird all day today.
And because I decided to understand Lucas……. I will do whatever he wants until the end.
I put my hand in his large, white hand. The cold temperature and rough skin touched mine.
Even then, Lucas’ gaze never left me. Those purple eyes kept looking at me.
Lucas’ movements were slower than usual. He was usually a languid person but not to this extent.
Like photographing a scene one frame at a time……. Lucas slowly kissed the back of my hand and closed his eyes for a moment. A shadow fell under his long eyelashes, then disappeared when he opened his eyes.
After a short time, Lucas let go of my hand. Then he laughed again…….What is this…… it’s like…….
“Good night, Selena.”
Lucas quietly greeted me and personally closed my door.
Thump, the door closed, making me forget what I was going to ponder.
I stood in a daze in front of the closed door, thinking over and over again and heard the sound of shoes beyond the door.
It was the sound of him walking away.
The sound of his footsteps echoed through the hallway. There used to be two, but now it is one.
The sound bounced relentlessly among the walls like an echo. Lucas smiled mischievously and headed toward his room.
The curtained room was dark without a single candle. It must be due to his habit of turning off all the lights when he leaves the room. He walked to the window without hesitation and pulled back the curtain with all his might.
The garden he had been walking with Selena a while ago filled his eyes.
Lucas stared down at the garden, then turned his back to the window. The place he was heading to was the bed. To be more precise, the sword is standing next to the bed.
After graduating from school, it was a gift that the Duke entrusted to him.
He remembered being quite shaken the day he received this gift.
