Chapter 107
William looked very angry.
Eric knew very well why he was so angry. Perhaps it was because of Chloe and what he had said in the ballroom — that he would stop the deal. So, he didn’t say anything until William called him again, and William seemed to suppress his anger even more.
However, as if he had reached his limit, William’s face gradually turned bright red.
“Don’t you think that you are arrogant?”
Eric thought that this was the first time the man in front of him had shown such raw emotions and decided that they were truly in a corner.
He smiled crookedly.
“If I were really arrogant, I wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to the royal family’s atrocities.”
“Marquis!”
William shouted with his face still bright red.
“You will regret it.”
The end of his voice trembled. Looking at William, Eric thought that royal people were too emotional, impulsive, and stupid, so they couldn’t hide or deceive their true feelings and ended up revealing them all.
Eric waved the court documents he was holding in front of William.
“To make me regret something like this.”
And finally, he tore the document in half and laid down his gaze.
“It’s too easy.”
“….!”
Thin veins appeared on the whites of William’s eyes. He glared at Eric with red eyes that seemed as though they were about to burst.
“If you don’t have anything more to say, I’ll just leave.”
Eric tried to leave, leaving William behind. Regardless, there would be no gain from talking to someone who wasn’t Haras. Besides, William was so emotional right now that he didn’t want to say anything further.
After making a cool-headed decision, the moment Eric turned around and was about to walk towards the carriage…
“Chloe!”
Suddenly, he screamed.
Eric stopped walking and slowly turned his head to look at him as William continued.
“Are you staying by her side even though you know she’s going to die?”
Without realizing it, his eyes fluttered.
Die, die.
Chloe dies.
He didn’t know how many times he had heard this. Eric was sick of this now. He didn’t want to listen any longer.
He turned his body fully to face William.
“Humans are always destined to die somehow.”
Eric spoke, emphasizing each word.
“Human life involves the possibility of dying tomorrow, but how beautiful is Chloe, who has a predetermined life.”
“Th, that’s…!”
“That’s why you and I are different.”
He gazed at William from head to toe with a proud look. There was disdain in his gaze, and it wasn’t as if William didn’t notice it.
“You didn’t love Chloe.”
William wanted to refute, but his mouth did not move.
Could he refute what Eric said? In other words, did he really love Chloe?
If he truly loved her, shouldn’t he have accepted even her death as the Marquis did? As he asked himself endless questions, Eric walked back toward the carriage, leaving behind William, who had a confused look on his face.
“Marquis!”
Repeatedly ignoring his cries.
Upon returning to the mansion, Eric heard a surprising truth.
It was said that Heath’s reporters had come to visit Chloe. Reporters came all the way to the capital and met Chloe?
Eric quickly decided that they had not come for no good reason. They may have gone to her with the intention of asking her about what happened in the ballroom. Could it be that they hurt her again? The journalists were people who could not be trusted at all.
He ran to Chloe’s room with an anxious mind.
“Chloe. Can I come in?”
It wasn’t long before he heard a voice telling him to come in. Eric tidied up his messy hair, took off his jacket, and entered the room.
The room was bright.
There were no changes to the interior, it was just as it was, but somehow, the room looked bright. This was probably, or definitely, because Chloe’s face was brighter than ever before…
Eric was somewhat surprised and approached her with this surprise.
“What happened?”
He started with the main point. Chloe, who had been looking out the window and humming quietly until then, turned her head to look at him.. She tilted her head to one side and blinked her beautiful eyes again.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I mean.”
Eric ran one hand down his face and caught his breath.
“I heard that reporters from Heath are here.”
“Yes, that’s right. They just went back.”
Chloe thought of DeHaan and Jeffrey. Although she said they could stay a little longer, they didn’t.
They said that if they saw the Marquis, they would show off their journalistic spirit without realizing it. They also asserted that they could not do that because not only would it be disrespectful to Chloe, but it would also undermine the purpose of their visit to her, and then they left in a flash.
Even though she was also sad, she knew what they meant, so Chloe had no choice but to let them go. They said they would come back later, so she believed them.
So, she was in a very good mood.
“It was a fun time.”
After listening to her words, Eric was finally able to catch his breath. It felt like his worried heart was melting away. He walked closer to Chloe.
“I was worried about what might happen.”
He uttered, pulling one of her hands and clasping them as he went on, “I was wondering if they had approached you with an impure purpose.”
Chloe glanced at Eric.
That was right.
“I was worried about that, too.”
She thought they might have come to get information from her. That was why she was extremely nervous when she first met them.
“But it wasn’t.”
Chloe shook her head.
Yes. It really wasn’t. They had come to see her out of pure goodwill, there was nothing reporter-like about the conversation, and they had a good time, so she really felt at ease with him.
She spoke, holding Eric’s hand tighter.
“There are still many good people in the world, and there are many things that I don’t need to misunderstand.”
“….”
“I felt something new this time.”
Eric noticed that Chloe’s face had an innocence that had always existed but had disappeared at some point. He could feel the overwhelming emotions and guessed that her light bulb was finally turning on.
He became calm and happy.
“Chloe.”
Eric said, pulling her hand.
“Do you still want to work?”
Chloe was troubled as she reviewed her own mind once again. If she thought back to the past, when she tried so hard to maintain her nobility, she would have said absolutely not.
…But not now.
Despite the fact that, at that time, she struggled to maintain at least the dignity of a nobleman, her mind now had become calm enough to think that it was okay not to have such dignity.
She wanted to work.
She wanted to find herself through work.
How glad she was to have something she wanted to do!
Chloe placed her other hand on the back of Eric’s hand, who was holding hers, and pulled her chin up.
“I want to become a reporter.”
Eric’s eyes trembled slightly.
If she went to work, there would definitely be talks behind her back, but what did that have to do with anything? It was more important to him about what Chloe wanted to do, what she could do, and what she wanted.
He nodded his head.
“Is that so? All right.”
She gazed at him with surprised eyes, as if she hadn’t expected Eric to give her permission so quickly — of course, he had asked her to work at the newspaper he founded in the past, but that was a management position, not just a job.
“Do you understand me?”
“It’s respect.”
Eric answered as if it was an obvious thing.
“I will support you in everything you want to do, everything you can do. If you need my support, you can ask for it at any time.”
“Darling.”
“Yes, wife.”
Eric responded with a grin, and Chloe smiled softly, feeling her heart warm.
“Thank you.”
Instead of answering, Eric kissed the back of Chloe’s hand and he led her towards the sofa.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Good.”
Eric pulled the rope and called the maid.
The maids moved in unison and immediately brought out tea cups and kettles and placed trays on the table in front of the sofa before they served tea in their cups. Hibiscus tea. It was a tea that had a refreshing and pleasant scent.
“After tea time, I have to go down to the lab again.”
Eric spoke as he smoothed the handle of his teacup.
“Yes. I know.”
Chloe nodded.
“It’s because of me.”
He narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“Please say it’s for you. Don’t you think it would be more comfortable for you and me that way?”
“….”
Chloe smiled anew, thinking that he had really changed a lot and that she hoped this change would continue.
“Thank you.”
Eric put down the teacup he was holding.
“You have nothing to thank me for.”
He continued.
“I’m just doing the obvious.”
She suddenly became embarrassed. It felt like a dream to be in this relationship with him, and it also felt like a dream to continue this relationship in the future.
Everything was like a dream.
Chloe took a sip of tea, trying to hide her embarrassment. It was to calm her stomach.
However…
Cough!
Bright red liquid flowed out from her teeth. This was not hibiscus tea. It was clearly blood.
Cough! Kuh!
Chloe rolled on the floor and vomited blood.
“…Chloe?”
Crash!
As Eric went over the table and hugged her, Chloe’s body was shaking, unable to overcome the convulsions. Cough!—She repeatedly vomited blood and writhed in pain.
“Doctor! Get the doctor!”
She could see Eric yelling through her blurry gaze, and the next moment, her mind snapped.
