Chapter 163. The Scandal Of The Century, Part XIII

As if he was frustrated, the Count put the fork down loud on the table and got angry. "That's not a matter for you to get involved in! That's what Aria's will is already, and I've also given my approval as the head of the count family!"

Mielle's fine hand stopped him as he tried to raise his voice in rebuttal.

"Brother, there is nothing we can do as our father decided that. He is the head of the count family, right?" But her face was so grim that she also showed great opposition to it.

'But what is your reason for stopping Cain?' Slowly chewing the salad, Aria observed Mielle.

And Cain called her name with a groan, "... Mielle."

"Have dinner before it cools down, brother."

Cain, who followed his sister's words rather than his father's, glanced Aria and quietly kept eating. But Aria had a lot on her mind because of the strange things that had happened during the day, and even Cain and Mielle empowered her concerns and questions, so Aria left the dining room without finishing her meal properly.

Aria, who went back to her room thinking it would be better to have a cup of tea to cool her mind and go to bed, was appalled at the sight of a stranger in her room.

"Who...?!"

"Shh."

As Aria was surprised and was about to scream, an uninvited strange visitor hurried up and gently wrapped around her waist. With the other hand, he lightly closed her mouth to buy time for a while so that she could not get stuffy.

"Lady Aria, it's me."

The voice sounded urgent. Still, it was a familiar voice. So Aria opened her tightly closed eyes and checked the intruder's face.

Then she saw the face of Asher with a soft glow. Who could believe that it was Asher who was in her room, as he had been the main topic of the conversation of the people of the count family after she had just come to her room after dinner? Aria, who saw him in front of her, blinked and expressed embarrassment.

"Do you recognize me?"

Aria quickly blinked at Asher's question and expressed her sympathy. It was because her mouth was still blocked. When he read Aria's recognition, Asher took off his hand and breathed a sigh as if he were relieved.

"... How...?"

'Why did you come here?' As Aria, still perplexed, asked. Asher looked very disappointed and said,

"Didn't I tell you that I'd be here today?"

'Did you say that?' She forgot because she hadn't been so busy lately.

It seemed that Asher had said he'd come again but was it today? The timing was truly exquisite. It made her shudder because it would have been possible for him to have appeared while he was with her maids.

"I'm sorry. I've had so much to think about lately that I've forgotten..."

So she apologized briefly, because she thought that he could not appear suddenly without a promise, and she thought it would be her fault this time. Then Asher, who turned over her golden hair on Aria's forehead, smiled affectionately and replied, "It's okay."

She must have been sweating because she had been nervous. Though his hands were very friendly and warm, her heart began to beat a little faster.

"What made you feel so hard like this?"
