Chapter 91
After going to the academy, Chloe was also in a confused state.
As Eric said, it was the place where she first saw him and fell in love with him at the same time. Even if they changed, would those memories be forgotten? Chloe had decided not to, so she wandered around the room the whole time with her mind out of control.
“I love you.”
Chloe stopped walking with frequent steps and slowly closed her eyes.
“Can’t we please go back to the beginning?”
For the first time.
…Would she be able to go back?
Thinking that she had come a long way already, she passed the time she fell in love with Eric and from the time she was in love… she had come a long way.
Even Chloe was still walking down that road.
Eric was lost, but she was slowly walking the long way… this must have been the difference between the two—getting farther and farther away. Still, that didn’t mean she didn’t love him. She foolishly still loved him.
She was shaken by his words, and when she looked back at herself, being hopeful, it was right that he loved him. However, her weary heart was bigger. She was old and exhausted as everything she had endured for the past five years had exploded.
She wanted to end her relationship with Eric because she was so exhausted.
Chloe wanted to be a part of him and wanted to die slowly alone, so Chloe spoke harshly to Eric. Nonetheless, was this heart really her sincerity?
Did she really want to separate from him…?
She had been questioning her own mind for the first time since the situation had come to this. As soon as she did, there came the answer. She realized that she wanted Eric to hold her tighter, to see him kneel in front of her no matter how hard and cold she acted.
Oh my God, what a nasty idea!
Chloe covered her cheeks, blushing at the raw emotion, but when she had already confirmed it, her thoughts didn’t go away easily. That was right. She wanted to see Eric more heartbroken and struggling!
The fact that she was a mean person who used his pain as a stepping stone to finding her peace of mind, and the reason why she didn’t accept Eric all along was because she wanted to confirm his sincerity.
She realized anew that she was a bad person. At the same time, she developed her own loathing for herself.
As her mind goes dizzy, Chloe staggered as her legs gave out.
She was in love, yet wanted to see him suffer. And even though she wanted to reconnect, she hoped he would cling to her more earnestly.
What a raw feeling!
Although she was disappointed in herself, it was not so shallow that her feelings would disappear easily once she realized it.
Chloe again buried her face in her hands as her breathing quickened. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Even without asking who it was, she knew who had come. Eric was the only one to come at this late hour.
Didn’t say a word as she heard the knock, Chloe slowly approached the door and placed her hand on the cold doorknob and caught her breath.
Slowly, she opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Eric. She gazed at him indifferently and clenched her chin.
“What are you doing at this late hour?”
Eric didn’t answer. He just stared at her with calm eyes…
Chloe noticed the intoxication on his face. The subtle smell of alcohol stung her nostrils.
“Have you been drinking?”
“I came because I have something to say.”
When he meekly nodded his head, she backed away slightly. It was because she was always afraid of men who drank. While she knew that Eric wasn’t one to hit or beat her, a long-learned fear was hard to overcome
Chloe opened the door wide, avoiding being noticed by him.
“Come in for now.”
He slowly entered the room at her words. As expected, the room where everything was closed gave the impression of being in a cage. Eric suddenly looked down at the floor. It seemed that blue feathers were spread all over the place…
He shook his head and took a breath. He turned to Chloe, who was standing behind him.
“Chloe.”
Chloe came to think that her name coming out of his lips was somehow unfamiliar.
This was because of the raw emotion that she just realized. She looked forward to hearing him call her by her name one day, but now, she took it for granted. At the same time, she was frustrated when she realized anew that the situation in which Eric was holding her gave her great relief.
Because she looked so mean!
As she glanced at him, trying to calm her emotions, Eric’s lips, which had been staring at her until then, opened slowly.
“Next week is my birthday.”
She knew. How could she forget?
For five years, she celebrated his birthday alone every day, singing a celebration song alone in front of a big cake while waiting for him, who did not come… so how could she forget it?
As Chloe recalled the past, she had a strange idea that maybe when she wanted him to hang on to her, to have him get down on his knees and beg, might be a natural attitude she could take. She had a selfish idea that since he was hurt and suffered because of Eric, she was justified to feel this level of emotion.
Even though she felt ashamed of herself for seeming petty, at the same time, she also felt that she deserved it.
In the midst of two conflicting thoughts, Chloe was confused.
In the meanwhile, Eric didn’t know what she was thinking. That was why he clung to her a little more earnestly, as she wished, and spoke in a low but sorrowful voice.
“Can’t you stay with me?”
He grabbed her hand.
“I really want to be with you.”
Chloe gazed down blankly at the hand he was holding.
Birthday, birthday…
She remembered his birthday, frozen for hours, waiting for him to come. When she thought about this, she felt that the man in front of her was so selfish. Having done that, why come now? After forgetting her like that, why come now?
“Eric. I am…….”
Chloe tried to talk her out of her sorrow, but Eric cut her off.
“I know. I forgot about you on your birthday… that you were very sick because of that.”
“Even knowing that… are you saying this?”
“I have no shame, but please. Please join me, Chloe.”
He could have gotten a little more courageous from drinking and thus been able to say this. No, it was rather a big matter, so he could have borrowed the alcohol’s influence to talk. Whatever it was, he wanted to spend his birthday with her. It seemed like it had to be so.
Eric grabbed Chloe’s hand a little tighter.
“This time, I will present the best day to you, not me.”
“Eric.”
“I will present you with a day you will never forget…”
Saying so, he took her hand and kissed it softly. Chloe could feel the thrill as his soft lips touched her skin.
“Please join me, Chloe.”
Shortly after realizing that one of the reasons she had rejected him all this time was because of her immaturity, she felt a subtle pity for Eric, and she was stubbornly unable to reject him.
In the end, she reluctantly accepted, and Eric was able to go back with more joy than before.
“Chloe is in the Capital?”
The Third Prince, William, opened his eyes wide and stared at the Second Prince, Haras. Haras replied as he leisurely raised his teacup.
“Yes. It looks like the Marquis brought her.”
However, contrary to his relaxed attitude, Haras’ words were harsh. He frowned and murmured.
“It would be nice if Chloe could go, and he would be with Elizabeth.”
What was he talking about? William stiffened a little, but he couldn’t be angry with Haras, so he tried to calm himself down, leaning his body forward a little more.
“Weren’t Chloe and the Marquis talking about a divorce?”
“That’s right. I heard that Chloe filed for divorce, but the Marquis is not accepting it. I heard it wasn’t even submitted to the court.”
“That…!”
William wiggled his hips and tightened his eyes at the response.
“We have to respect Chloe’s wishes. If Chloe made that choice, there must have been a reason!”
“Perhaps it is because of the Marquis’ cold disposition and disinterested attitude. She must have been hurt quite a bit.”
When Haras replied casually, William narrowed his brows slightly and asked again.
“Is it alright if I put Elizabeth to the Marquis?”
Haras slowly put the teacup down and stared intently at William as the corners of his greedy eyes glistened.
William sighed and stepped back.
“The purpose of the royal family is only to maintain the royal family.”
Haras maintained his lofty demeanor, raising his chin.
“Elizabeth’s pain is none of our business.”
“….”
Witnessing the coldness of his blood and flesh anew, William thought that the Marquis’ coldness was incomparable. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and got up.
“I have to go see Chloe.”
Haras raised the teacup again without looking at William.
“Try to reconcile with Chloe.”
“…What?”
“Make her on your side. That way, his marriage to Elizabeth will be able to proceed safely.”
William didn’t answer, but he knew.
The fact that he could bring Chloe to his side and truly separate her from the Marquis would be a good ending for him, the royal family, and everyone else.
