The Male Lead’s Fake Sister - Chapter 48

The butler’s wicked impulse and desire made quite an uproar in his mind. Therefore, he couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to it.

As the one he wanted to own was right in front of his eyes, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand.

Especially if it was the person who once reached out to him.

If the person who tamed him through attachment and familiarity reached out to him when he almost fell from the edge of loneliness….

Ravia looked visibly puzzled at Tidwell’s abrupt invitation. But she didn’t even question his strange request just like how she usually was.

Since there was no response from Ravia, Tidwell quickly thought of an excuse.

“…It doesn’t have to be my room. If you want, we can go to the library or the annex.”

No, I don’t mind anywhere as long as we can be together.

The more I can be away from reality, the better it is.

To the place where I can stop worrying about what awaits me in the morning and be content with the fact that Ravia is by my side.

Any place where no hypocrisy or pretense could separate us….

As he was engaged in inner turmoil, Tidwell’s extended arm touched Ravia’s hand.

“Tidwell.”

Only then did he look up. No, he didn’t realize that he had been avoiding her gaze.

Ravia took one step closer and looked at him. She was puzzled, and the question ‘What’s wrong?’ was written all over her face.

How funny would it be if that worried face is simply an act to deceive me?

That very pretense lit a fuse in his heart. He stopped making a pointless excuse. Instead, he began to talk again.

“I don’t have any work to do right now. I just don’t want to be alone.”

So, will you accompany me?

Ravia was momentarily speechless by his persistent request. But she didn’t give Tidwell the answer he wanted.

She just took a step back, averted her gaze, and made an excuse.

“…But Father is home today.”

Tidwell laughed sardonically at her answer.

Haha.

“Do you mean someone who doesn’t even step on the third floor?”

“The servants haven’t fallen asleep yet. I don’t want to make a noise.”

“If there’s anyone who dares to gossip about their owners’ private lives, they will have their tongue cut off first.”

“Tidwell, remember that we all have one tongue, but also two eyes.”

You could cut their tongue to silence them, but you couldn’t get rid of their gazes.

Perhaps he understood the meaning, Tidwell paused for a moment. However, it was quick enough as if to match the word ‘for a moment’.

Narrowing the distance that Ravia had deliberately lengthened, Tidwell queried.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, Sister. Was my request too shameful that even cutting off their tongue isn’t enough?”

Or are you laughing at the fact that I fell into the temptation of going to your room that night?

“Or are you thinking that I will make a move on you?”

“…What?” Ravia dazedly asked.

Her current expression was already familiar to Tidwell. It was the same reaction when Ravia almost tripped over her heels back in the garden.

A familiar reaction when Tidwell expressed his true feelings. But at that time, he took a step back because he didn’t want Ravia to hate him too much yet.

But there was nothing holding him back now.

As his twisted nature finally came out in the open, his suppressed inferiority complex and his seething desire for Ravia flowed from his mouth just like that.

“Did I say something surprising? If it weren’t for this situation, we would have been just an adult man and woman.”

“…Don’t be presumptuous. We’re family. It was only a few days ago that you asked me to be your family, didn’t you?”

“Indeed, that’s definitely what I asked for.”

And you’ll run away from me. Now it’s time to stop going along with this ridiculous lie and playing the good brother role.

No matter how much Tidwell crossed the line, his sister will always try to maintain their current relationship in silence, unless he really takes it to the extreme.

But Ravia had to remember the saying that staying silent to the truth is poisonous.

The fact that they can’t always turn a blind eye to their surroundings, they can’t always cherry-pick only pleasant things to hear and ignore the truth forever….

“…You said it yourself that we were family, so there must be no reason for you to hate my request this much.”

“Even if we’re family, we’re not that young anymore.”

“No. Our age is not the problem here. Sister, why can’t you be honest?”

Don’t you remember that not all chains are visible…?

Tidwell whispered as he approached her, but Ravia stepped back just as much as he did.

It didn’t take long for the two to reach the end of the hallway.

The man was consumed by darkness and had his back to the light. He seemed to have enough of this situation.

No, maybe he looked like he was begging. Or maybe it was a face filled with mockery.

One thing is for sure; it was the moment when he was finally being honest in front of all of this hypocrisy.

So he urged another liar to tell the truth.

“Sister, you can be honest with me. Age is not the problem, the problem is that we don’t have blood relations.”

“Tidwell, stop. I’m your sister even if there’s no blood relation. That is a fact–”

“Oh, these days, Sister seems to lure her younger brother to the bedroom with an expression asking to be hugged–”

Slap!

Tidwell’s head turned to the side even before he finished speaking. Ravia couldn’t bear to hear and slapped him.

Tidwell was the one who was slapped, but why did Ravia look so offended?

It was worth seeing her appalled face.

Did Tidwell’s words hurt her pride, or was she surprised that she slapped him unwittingly?

But there was something definite.

“How dare you…don’t talk to me like that.”

That his words hurt his noble sister. Her face was painted with a wound.

However, he couldn’t be sure whether she was enraged, ashamed or even devastated.

But when he saw Ravia like that, he felt that something inside him was relieved. Maybe he should have done this from the start, after all.

“…Am I wrong??”

“Yes. You’re wrong. I’ve never seen you that way.”

“Is that so?”

I see you that way every time. I always think of sitting at your feet and kissing your lips, or doing anything the opposite of that….you made me want to live, and you made me want to die.

Tidwell recited his own poetry inside. Soon, he fixed his bitter gaze on Ravia and asked.

“Then what about that day?”

“What day?”

“The day when Sister asked me to go to your room.”

Ravia distorted her face when Tidwell brought up that day again.

“That day, there was a reason.”

“I figured so. Is there anything you’ve done without a reason?”

“Don’t say that–”

“Giving me sleeping pills should be a good enough reason for you.”

Ravia’s eyes grew bigger at Tidwell’s words. He was satisfied with the sight of Ravia’s shocked face.

She was silent, but the way she drugged him with sleeping pills fit his twisted tendency better than expected.

However, Ravia quickly lost her surprise. In the first place, even her surprised expression was as mild as a ripple wave.

“….I assumed you’d know.”

“I felt sleepy all of sudden, so it’d be weird if I didn’t know that,” Tidwell replied in a relaxed manner.

From the time he discovered that Ravia fed him sleeping pills, he knew that Ravia already thought of the possibility of getting caught by him.

Initially, the things unspoken had turned into a deep-rooted poison underlying their relationship.

Perhaps she was going to make a very small crack. Because breaking down a huge dam began with a small and invisible hole, after all.

But from the beginning, there was a rat who kept an eye on her as she made that small hole.

Ravia had to know.

‘That day’ that Tidwell mentioned, was not only about her taking him into her room.

“Sister, I did not take your sleeping pill.”

From the beginning, he already had the ultimate words to shake her up.

He knew for sure that getting caught giving him sleeping pills wouldn’t shake her.

And these ultimate words worked better than he thought. He hadn’t even brought the details yet, but Ravia’s complexion was paler than ever.

“Do you remember what you did to me when I was asleep?”

“Tidwell, you…..”

“If you insist you don’t remember, you’d better remember as soon as possible.”

I’m the type to return what I received.

Tidwell lightly grabbed Ravia’s jaw and kissed his fake sister.
