He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 27

~ Chapter 27 ~

I couldn’t do anything for a moment and was in a daze. It took me a long time before I regained my consciousness again.

The ticking sound of the clock, awkward silence between us, and lips that bend and dry with fixed eyes on each other.

I hurriedly removed the arm around his neck.

My face turned red like a tomato.

“Wait, no, please wait a minute.”

Her hand on his shoulder trembled.

His breathtaking eyes locked on me in silence were very pretty, and it seemed like they were hypnotizing me so hard that I felt like I was about to cry.

Of course, it wasn’t because I’m happy, but rather I’m shy.

Just, just now what happened to me?

“You don’t need to answer me right away.”

Carlos’ hand fell off her waist.

After releasing his weak hug, he said, arranging her hair that had fallen down to her forehead.

“Even though I wanted to tell you. I’m seriously interested in you Miss.”

Public and private. His voice would change rapidly every time he’s facing me.

And the way he sways his violet eyes which makes one speechless.

Carlos was very sincere when he said those.

His affectionate image which constantly popped into my mind, contained his everything.

‘All’ the power of him I dared to call, was amazing.

“…… Since when did it start?”

To the point where even me who was firmly determined to not fall from him, was doubtlessly swayed by his words.

“Since when did you start liking me?”

“It wasn’t from the beginning, but later on it started.”

“Of course you wouldn’t like me from the beginning. Who was the one trying to take advantage of me?”

“……. I was sorry back then. I had a good reason.”

As I rolled my eyes without hate, I could see a sign of me not knowing what to do next, I was still clueless of what to do in this kind of situation.

He meant the truth, he wasn’t lying.

Did he really need a partner that time in order to execute his revenge and his big plans for the future, in the Banquet Hall?

That was a good reason. Reason, ha.

I managed to say the same thing over and over to myself again without expression.

Even if I have questions, I couldn’t ask if I am not very sure. Hence, I decided to take a step back now.

“So. When was that ‘later on?’ exactly?”

It was right to put it off in that term yet.

I don’t want to cut his happiness, since he barely found it.

When he calmly breathed down and looked up at me, Carlos burst into a laugh.

Perhaps it was because both of them were reminiscing about their first encounter.

“To be precise, was it when Miss guessed my condition by pressing my shoulder in front of the entrance?”

“What the… Did you know?”

I was surprised and escaped from his arms and sat down on the seat where I originally planned sit to, in the beginning.

It was because I was scared that he would catch my crazy heart beating so hard if we stayed together anymore.

Carlos smiled as he hurriedly picked up his clothes and asked.

If you look at his expression, it implied that he was ready to die due to joy.

“Yes. Who wouldn’t know that?”

“I me-mean, you might not know! Also it was done in a pretty old-fashioned way!”

Who uses folk remedies these days in order to treat health conditions with machines?

I looked at him with my protesting eyes as if explaining my thoughts.

But his answer was completely unexpected.

“It may be outdated for others, but at least it’s not for me. I’ve been reading books for five years, so I know as much as my brain can handle. Anyway, anyone who looked at it could think that it was an abnormality from my body, but Miss knew everything but didn’t say anything.”

“It was amazing”, he added, and grabbed the rosemary bouquet that he had thrown down, as if he was hugging me.

Then I thought he was only fiddling from the petals of the rosemary around him, but soon he picked up a flower from it.

At the same time, a bright smile spread around the mouth.

“Oh, this looks like a rose.”

He presented me with a flower with water that resembles a rose. I’m feeling helpless with my lips open again.

Finally, my head began to ache.

It was the moment when I realized that the difficulty of understanding him has come, it was terrible.

“Really pretty.”

This person likes me a lot.

“It’s a gift. Please take it Miss.”

“…That was the gift I gave to the Team Leader earlier.”

I absurdly looked at him, which he just shrugged off.

“Who cares. When someone who was special to you left, you would come to the point of liking flowers. How happy is this flower to have a pretty owner who looks like it?”

Nonsense words.

At the same time, I turned away from him to hide my reddened face.

There was nothing left to do, to have this heart calm down.

It was when he did this.

“Miss, your face is really red.”

“I know.”

“Do you feel hot?”

“Ye, yes. A little bit.”

He simply nodded his head and started fanning his hands.

But after listening to Carlos’s words, my reddened face didn’t last long.

“Hmm.”, was what he replied to me leisurely with his nasal voice.

“Lies.”

“……”

Yes. That was the answer.

“This, if I try harder, I could win you over, right?”

“…….”

“I see a possibility. Right?

After gently grabbing my hand, which had stopped in the air, interlocked them with his, and smiled.

The most confident face I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I couldn’t refute him, so I only blankly stared at our overlapped hands.

The warmth delivered from his hand was warm. As if he would not leave a slightest void between us.

In the end, I closed my eyes and lowered my view.

It was only for a brief moment, but I almost cried in front of him.

Can I really do this? Really?

I spoke sincerely in my mind without any lies.

“Really, why are you being like this…?”

To be honest, I was confused.

I don’t think that he was like that at all.

“I told you. It’s because I like Miss a lot.”

“No, please stop saying that. How many times are you saying this?!“

Close your damn mouth!

“Why? Then, do you want me to say I love you instead?”

(TN: That was smooth, definitely smooth… ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄)

“Ugh…”

Sa, save me.

I couldn’t hide my astonishment and muttered the words I couldn’t spit out.

This is weird. This is definitely weird.

How can the novel say that the male lead was impatient, when he was this good at seducing the wrong person?!

(TN: Wrong person; means that she wasn’t the female lead.)

Even the major problem here was that I, the wrong party, couldn’t reject this situation at once and still hesitated.

However, even if I don’t want to admit it, I have to admit it. His already bursting cheeks were proving it.

Rose Lutiens, you will not accomplish your goal if you’re too picky.

“……. Let’s stop here. The team members are coming soon.”

“I knew it, so I locked it in advance.”

“What?”

“I did a good job.”

As soon as I turned around, I heard a rattling, locked doorknob going through an ordeal.

It was the result of Carlos’ power.

I bit my lips quietly and looked at him again.

When our eyes met, his lips that arced more innocently than anyone else in the world, welcomed me.

When I noticed it, I suddenly gave up.

I’ve been working hard up to this point. Is there any cave I can escape to?

I couldn’t help but laugh because I was in grief.

“Stay a little longer with me.”

I didn’t answer him.

I was just lost in thought. I have lived the life of a possessed woman in this novel that I have gained since I died in my real world, considering it a miracle.

So I’m grateful for the given environment, and I’ve never even dreamed of greed for the main characters.

“Please. You will do that for me, right?”

God seems to be trying to give me another chance.

***

“I have a chance.”

The center of the quiet palace.

Crown prince, inside Sollio’s office.

Standing up on the table with a gentle voice, Sollio looked into the document with solemn eyes.

He said with a more serious face than ever.

“Project B which has been discontinued. I want it to proceed first.”

Standing in front of everyone, he toned down heavily.

His magnificent voice soon rang throughout the office.

If someone didn’t know him, it would have been just a speech spoken by a weak boy, but the Officials gathered here were very nervous and busy watching him.

One should pay attention and be careful.

The opponent is the crown prince of the kingdom.

“Hmm!”

Someone cleared their voices while they were wary of each other. It was a way to build up courage.

He’s a big man who knows how to fight Sollio without fear once he’s in trouble.

Sollio, who was already firmly rooted inside the palace and notorious for more than a decade, was probably a much scarier superior here.

The court room was filled with terrified people and gulping sounds.

Sollio’s merciless purple eyes flashed.

“Why?”

“……”

“Do you have any objections?”

Gasp.

If he keeps this up, his life will be in danger.

Everyone started in only one place with one reaction.

A silver-haired young man with an expressionless face as much as Sollio. He looked forward and said,

“If you mean objections. There is.”

“……. What kind of problem?”

“The project has already been more than six years. In addition, whether or not it will be achieved only when the Crown Prince’s Highness bets on the future of his life. I think it’s too dangerous to do.”

It was their first time seeing that ‘man’ today, but he’ll be in a big fight later on with the Crown Prince.

Old executives made up of old aristocrats had a unified idea.

They’re afraid of Sollio’s change of mood, so they can’t even talk freely.

The man, who said he finally came up from the provinces after hiding his identity, is strangely relentless.

Sollio, who is famous for his good eye, chose him personally.

“It’s fun. You’re worried about my safety.”

Sollio, who had been rubbing his chin in the middle of his nose, gently closed his eyes.

However, his beliefs were firm.

Deep and steady, like the tenacity of not doing a favor for 10 years, despite having a high position.

He didn’t give in to his will.

“I am grateful, but I will decline. If it’s the Crown prince’s order, I’ll be the one who dares to risk my life.”

Sollio’s mind finally cooled down.

Then the atmosphere of the conference hall naturally became heavy.

It was because Carlos’ appearance that made the Crown Prince annoyed and Officials got chills down to their spines.

In a way, he was a very unfortunate person.

The crown prince’s officials just clicked their tongues and pointed out the middle of the document.

Then, as always, he unanimously expressed Sollio’s proposal.

“May the Goddess reach you.”

“May the Goddess reach you.”

“May the Goddess reach you.”
