Summary
Is it believably possible to love a man who’s been rejected by all women?Leia is sold in the name of marriage to the most controversial man in the nation in exchange for monetary favors; Mr. Adrik Avalanzo, the scarred one. He is rumored to be a hideous and fearless beast covered in scars, both physically and emotionally. His appearance is enough to chase off women. Even though he is the wealthiest, whom many envy, they consider him a plague.Thrust into a loveless marriage, how would a pridefully stubborn, hot-headed girl like Leia deal with him? And how would he deal with her? Will he try to dominate her? Or woo her passionately? Will Leia accept him despite his physical deformity? Will she get past her pride? Her short temper? Or even untie the knot she’d tied over her heart to accept him?Will their marriage turn out to be one that all the people of high society envy? Or could this marriage be the subsequent tragedy of the century?He watched her for a while, and suddenly cleared his throat to get her attention. Um… little wife.Yes. Leia raised her head to gaze at him with an expectant look on her face.Adrik coughed yet again and darted his eyes around. How do I go about this? He muttered to himself, as though contemplating how to say whatever he wanted to say.Leia’s brow furrowed at his behavior, and she arched her brow in suspicion. You… have something to tell me? She asked and stared at him in a questioning manner.Adrik raised his eyes to gaze at her, and he slightly nodded his head. I do have something to tell you. Then go ahead. She shook her head at him and scooped up a full spoon of rice to eat. However, the next words that exited Adrik’s lips had her halt the spoon at her lips. I want to take you on a date. Her body stilled and she raised her head to gape at him with disbelief, evident in her pitch-black pupils.Adrik parted his lips and began to glance around, with nervousness visible on his face. Damn, so that’s how that guy he saw at that restaurant felt. His heart is beating widely inside of him. His little wife is completely different from other women, so he’s not even sure if she will say yes. He smiled nervously and gazed at her in anticipation.Leia’s eyes blinked continuously for a while before she dropped the spoon back into the plate and stood up from the chair.She slowly walked over to him and stared down at him. Bewildered, Adrik also gazed at her with an uneasy smile on his lips. Um, little wife…So you want to take me on a date? Without letting him finish his sentence, Leia threw a question at him with an unexpected smirk on her lips.Ahh… yes, Adrik answered and fluttered his eyes in confusion. What is his little wife trying to get at?I see… Leia grinned widely and leaned down so her face was close to his and cupped his cheek with her left hand. I will go on a date with you. She shrugged, and a smile began to emerge on Adrik’s face, but Leia abruptly grabbed the knife on the table for cutting apples and aimed it at his throat.Little wife! Adrik’s eyes dilated a bit, and he glanced at her, then at the knife, and back at her. What are you-If it turns out that you’re just joking with me, I will cut your shit. She glanced at his little brother, and a smile crept onto her face. Why would I joke about something like that?! Adrik’s brow creased, and he slowly took the knife from her. You should keep away from knives too. Leia shrugged and straightened up, then proceeded to leave. However, she suddenly halted and swiftly turned around to wink at him. I will be in the garden.
