To Help You Understand - Chapter 17
Only after Winter disappeared did peace come to the hotel and Violet.
Winter sent flowers to the room for two days. He overdoes anything and overdoes the flower gift.
Violet sighed as she came out of the bedroom, pressing down on her palms as usual. The drawing room floor, table, window frames were filled with flowers.
“Lulu, you’re angry no matter how hard you look at this, aren’t you?”
“I think so, too.….”
Remembering Violet’s words to buy flowers, it looks like a flower shop will be set up here. Because of the scent of flowers, all windows had to be opened.
Although it was excessive, it was true that Violet really liked flowers. She was bewildered, but also spent two days quietly watering pots, drying flowers or making new bouquets.
Lulu asked, taking out another dress that Hayel had bought.
“Anyway, I heard you’re going on a date today. Where are you going?”
“I don’t know any place, so I decided to follow where he goes often.”
It was not a date, but an agreement to find out a little bit about the other person, but there was no need to tell the whole story between the couple.
While sitting in a flower shop-like parlor and having breakfast, the hotel’s chef Turin and Flip, a servant of the Blooming family, came in.
Thanks to Turin’s desire to present the best dishes, Flip, carrying a basket full of food ingredients, sighed. Turin took the creamy butter out of the basket and opened it.
“This is silk butter from the Central Continent, which was difficult to find. Rumor has it that the taste is soft like silk.
“ Look at this great butter that came over by a boat!”
While Turin alone was moved, Lulu told Violet.
“My boss doesn’t like food with butter because he’s a southerner. I was so anxious to buy it, but I ended up buying it.”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t like butter?”
“Yes, they use more oil than butter in their food. Even with that, the Boss doesn’t like butter.”
Then, Flip helped me with a word.
“You like vegetables much more than meat, is that a southern feature?”
Turin shook his head quickly at the words.
“It’s not a southern feature, it’s because the Lord was a very poor person when he was a child, so he didn’t have any access to meat. That’s why he doesn’t like dairy products.”
“I see….”
Listening to their conversation, Violet thought that as her husband said, she knew nothing about her husband as much as he did not know about her.
Turin’s pride in ingredients has grown.
At that time, the door opened wide and Winter walked in with his jacket hanging on his two fingers.
“You think this is the bottom of the market?”
“Sorry, boss!”
“I’ll get out!”
As the three chattering people escaped as if they were running away, Winter locked the door and threw the jacket he had brought onto the sofa.
“You said you didn’t have any friends, but why do you not know what to do in the capital because everyone you meet likes you?”
“Do I look like that?”
Violet was a little pleased and asked.
I was afraid that my rare opponent would hate me inside, whether I was criticized for walking, stopping, laughing, or crying for three years.
Winter replied with a crumpled look.
“Because it’s my wife, and she’s uncomfortable with the staff, but they have to come here and talk to her. Of course, I don’t know what to do because I like you.”
“I enjoyed them introducing ingredients and choosing clothes, so the story got longer. Oh, those three people unanimously chose that outfit. I’ll be back soon.”
Violet took out a knee-length thin summer mini dress and looked up.
After that,she took a mini dress and quickly changed her clothes. It was easy to wear, so she was quick by herself. The waist ribbon was sky blue with white lines with thin shoulders, vertically wrinkled.
As she walked out with a ribbon in her hand, Winter came up and tied it around her waist. Meanwhile, Violet looked at Winter and herself through a full-length mirror. She knew Winter was tall, but when she looked in the mirror, there was a big difference. She looked in the mirror and opened her mouth.
“Oh, will Eli come? I heard she meets you often at the stadium.”
“She’ll come. She lives in the stadium.”
“You must be close.”
“Not much.”
Ellie was Violet’s cousin Ariela Lawrence.
She answered that she didn’t like her, because we were not very close just because she knew Ariela’s nickname called by people close to her.
Last time, Ariela told me that you two had a good conversation.
Violet looked fine and nodded once.
Thoughts about Ariela’s were no longer available as soon as she entered the VIP box at Kaisle Stadium. Violet, who saw the players warming up right below, screamed briefly in shock.
All the players were undressing their tops. In the summer sun, the upper body muscles flashed like jewels.
It was a completely different sport from a sport where Violet enjoys riding a free horse wearing a uniform from head to toe.
Violet couldn’t say anything and covered her face with a fan and took a good breath. Winter grabbed the fan down and said mischievously at the sight.
“Look, I won’t be jealous of you seeing another man’s body.”
“I know you won’t. I don’t want to see it.”
Meanwhile, the staff in charge of the box seats brought an ice bucket full of beer bottles. Winter took out a beer bottle and pulled it against the window frame in the front of the box to open the lid and held it to Violet. She asked awkwardly.
“Do you just drink with a bottle?”
“Yes, my princess. You can drink it as it is.”
When Winter made fun of her, Violet spilled over him and drank a sip of ice-cold beer.
She didn’t hate this atmosphere as she thought. She was a little shocked when Winter put his two feet on the window frame.
He crumpled a cheap cigarette with no name on it into his pocket. Then he leaned sideways against his back, smoking a cigarette with his right hand. Violet has never seen anyone so crooked in her life.
Where is the man in a prestigious family in a decent suit that I’ve seen so far, and there is only a man who has no manners left like this .
I thought that everything Winter has shown in front of me so far may have been fake.
All of his “noble” behavior, sitting across the table in a suit and tie, was maybe a pain in the neck every moment.
His human behavior would have been painstakingly created by taking care of every moment.
Violet reached out her hand.
“Can I smoke one? That cigarette.”
“No, the quality is bad.”
“You told me to find out about you.”
Winter clicked his tongue and took out a cigarette.
At that time, from beyond the open window frame, Ariela raised her head.
“Winter, here…… bar, with violet?
She seemed quite drunk already. She flopped down on the window frame and looked at the two unexpectedly.
“What’s going on? The couple’s coming together.”
Violet casually watched Winter. He answered back.
“Date.”
“W-what kind of dating couple is that awkward? Anyway, Violet is a bit stiff. I was like that when I was young. It’s exemplary, Exemplary and uninteresting…… ”
While Ariela was speaking, Winter held Violet’s waist and sat her on a grid on his lap. Violet couldn’t balance and put her hands on his shoulders, looking at Winter with surprise.
“Hee, are you crazy?”
“It doesn’t look like a date. You know how to say that my wife is crazy. It’s as much a miracle as your trashy team wins.”
Ariela paused and saw them, waved her hand and left.
When she left, Winter sighed and leaned his head on Violet’s shoulder.
“……do something about her. I can’t do anything because she’s your cousin.”
Violet looked surprised at Winter’s head leaning on her. When she didn’t answer, Winter raised his head and asked, dissatisfied.
“Violet, are you listening to me?”
“I’m listening. You’re really not close to Ellie,are you.”
“Do we have to be close?”
Violet shook her head quickly because Winter was going to yell at her right away.
I was half convinced that he was having an affair with Ariela, but It was ridiculous. Ariela tried to approach him unilaterally.
Come to think of it, my cousin Ariela has always been interested in my things since she was young. Whatever it was, she wanted to have the same thing, and she wanted to have a better one.
Then Ariela found one thing that was better than Violet, which was her freedom.
No matter how much she liked ballet, Violet could not be a ballerina, and no matter how much she liked flowers, she could not be a gardener. Her position had always been to convey as the only royal daughter of the Lakround family.
Ariela may not know, but Violet was always jealous of her freedom and loveliness. She thought every man would choose Ariela, not herself.
She still thought Winter was at fault for not trying to talk to me about this misunderstanding, but his response to Ariela just now was honestly very, very cool.
Since Ariela left, she was about to get off his knees, but Winter grabbed her and didn’t let her go. Rather, he wrapped his hands around her smooth legs and pulled her close to him. She looked at Winter as if he were doing something wrong.
“Let me get off, stop being rude.”
“I wonder how many times I’ll be told I’m rude today.”
“I won’t do it anymore.”
“Let’s make a bet. What if you do it again?”
When Winter, whose bet is routine, raised one side of his mouth with a smile, Violet hit him back without losing.
“Okay, what’s your bet?”
“Three more times. I’ll go to every party you tell me to come in a row. From beginning to end I’ll stay only next to you.”
“……Lie.”
“Really.”
Winter unexpectedly bet on something quite useful. Violet agonized over the outcome she wanted more than expected.
“I don’t have anything like that.”
“You’re the only one who knows how to change. Sometimes there’s a place where you need your elegance.”
“I see.”
It’s surprising that he needs a change of body.
Violet still didn’t have much lingering feelings about her life, and she thought it would be no problem if she died because she didn’t change her body properly, so she nodded without much concern.
“Okay.”
“Is it that simple?”
“It is.”
“How?”
“If you need it, find out for yourself.”
Violet said so, and only then did she get away from Winter, who let go.
When she sat next to him, Winter said what he really wanted.
“You’ll have to kiss me if you lose the bet.”
“It’s more useful to change your body when you need it than to kiss me.”
“You don’t even need it that bad. Kiss me. Once, until I’m satisfied. If you’re careful, you’ll win anyway. Whatever you bet on, it’s your advantage.”
“That’s true. Let’s make a bet, then.”
Violet thought she would win anyway, and even if she lost, it was not difficult to face her lips for a while.
In the meantime, the game began
