The Obsessive Male Lead Wants To Become My Husband

Chapter 51

Chapter 51

'This is...'

I bent down as if possessed and picked up the men's cufflinks. It was almost impossible not to know who owned this button with the Duke of Brudenell's emblem.

'The question is, why is it here?'

I could not think of any particular reason for Cassius to come into my room. Because of that, I frowned and glanced around the room.

'Crazy.'

Although I did not notice earlier because the bed was clean, when I looked closely, I could clearly see traces of someone staying here everywhere—there was a pen on the desk that I did not like, and the curtains were rolled up in a way I did not like either.

Apart from the fact that the room was spotless and clean, it was evident that someone other than me lived here.

And, the owner of these traces seemed to be the same as the owner of the buttons.

'That madman...'

I touched my forehead. Why would he use my room in this spacious and vast mansion...?

But, looking back, this was an opportunity.

'He may have spilled something more.'

With that thought, I looked around the room, looking for traces of Cassius.

Has it been ten minutes?

Eventually, an unexpected harvest came out from the desk drawer I had unintentionally opened. There was a small note attached to the top of the drawer.

'...To be so sloppy.'

Though I thought it was not like him, now was not the time to be arguing about that. I hurriedly took the note and read it.

Letters that seemed to have been scribbled in a hurry stood out.

G.V. -> L.B.
He is approaching her
Appearing at the right opportunity
A place to protect her
— even if it's by force

My hand holding the note began to tremble as my head was dizzy, as if a headache was about to come. No, I already had a headache.

Even though Cassius already knew Gabriel's identity, he did not say a word to me. Yes, let's say that was the case. Nonetheless, what the last line means is...

I licked my lips.

Could there be a more clear expression of opinion than this?

'He is going to lock me up, like Gabriel said...'

At the next moment, I fell down on the floor. I did not think it could be a misunderstanding.

'...He is Cassius Brudenell.'

Regrets came rushing in.

Naturally, a person like Cassius Brudenell could only express love in the way of coercion. However, why did I think I was being clever?

'Obviously, I should have thought it was strange.'

Of course, Gabriel's appearance and enticement must have sparked his wrath. He would have easily noticed that I was shaking. Still, this was...

I bit my lip.

It was because I felt a strange realization.

'...I thought Cassius might have changed.'

It was not like I thought that I had edified him. Nevertheless, since many things have changed from the original, I only had a vague hope that Cassius would have changed, too. Regardless, it was mercilessly broken because of this one piece of note.
