“what… … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Nadia then lifted her head and looked up.
For the brief time she thought she was freeze, Lee Ji-ho’s face was as cold as it could be.
Why is he here all of a sudden? She answered without hiding her embarrassment.
“You and I are not bound to be married , it’s definitely not something that has been decided.”
“I heard the Duke wisely. It was just a few days before the Triumph Ceremony. It is said that the marriage will proceed with the opportunity of receiving a laurel wreath at the ceremony of triumph. He certainly did, but after the triumph, he suddenly changed his words. It was changed because of the request of his daughter.”
“that… … .”
“Did you shudder to marry me? Because I’m a foreigner who had an unknown origin?”
His voice was gradually getting louder.
As if sensing an unusual atmosphere, some people glanced at their place.
There was nothing good about drawing attention. Nadia answered in a soft voice to calm him down.
“I don’t think that sir Jiho’s origin is lowly. If I say that, I will be the same as I am also have a commoner's blood.”
“lie.”
“Sir Jiho...”
“If you’re going to say empty words like that, start by managing your facial expressions. Or are you saying it’s not worth the effort in front of me?”
“I was just tired. Don’t put too much meaning on my face.”
“You mean you don’t even want to put on a social smile in front of me.”
“… … .”
Nadia’s expression contorted.
She was trying to appease him, but she does not feel good about that kind of reaction. More than anything… … .
‘You were the one who betrayed me first.’
The memories of dying unfairly in the cold prison are vivid as if it were yesterday.
Who dares to be angry on such topic?
As much as she hated Karen and his father, This man was also resentful.
Because the feeling of betrayal was added, her feelings became much worst.
She let out an annoyed sigh and continued.
“Sir Jiho didn’t particularly like to be married to me.”
“When did I say that?”
“You wanted to get a wife with a noble blood because of your identity, that's why you must have been unsatisfied since you got engaged to me. If you were offered to marry Karen instead of me, can you confidently say that you would say no? I mean, can you choose to become a husband to a commoner's blood than to a pure blood?”
“… … .”
“I understand. Everyone is looking for a mate to make up for what they lack.”
“… … .”
He neither denied nor affirmed.
But sometimes silence takes the place of an answer.
Nadia knew it. she, who had been waiting for his answer for a while, let out a short sigh, not knowing whether it was a sigh or a lament.
