Chubby Lady - Chapter 21
Chapter 21
There were plenty of places to be together if you were going to cheat, but it was clear why he insisted on meeting you in the bedroom. Considering the first kiss he kissed on the day she caressed the scar on Wood’s back, and the passionate gaze that followed her tenaciously, it was possible to fully predict what would happen.
Fear came to me as I imagined something I had never experienced in my life.
“Come in, Elena.”
Water droplets formed on Wood’s hair as he opened the bedroom door, and his body smelled of soap. Elena also took a bath in the bathroom before finding his room, but in his private space, as soon as I entered, my body started to heat up with the thick scent of soap. It was a mixture of shame and fear, subtle excitement and strange anticipation.
“Drink. Borrowings, you like it.”
As he handed over the teacup, his fingers brushed Elena’s hand, tingling like sparks. Elena muttered in a crawling voice as she barely took her tea.
“How did you know I like this?”
“I don’t know anything about you “is.”
I don’t know if it was because of the soft lighting or the hot air, but his face seemed to be red too.
Seeing his face like that reminded me of what Wood said the first time he entered the mansion.
“The first day I came here… I wonder why you said you’ve been looking at me for a long time.”
“Won’t you hate me when you hear about my past?”
“…Me hating the Count, that won’t happen.”
“… when I was sixteen. This was before being adopted by the head of the household. When I got out of nursery school and was kicked out of a relative’s house, I spent a little time on the street.”
After hesitating for a moment, I was heartbroken to see his sunken expression as he calmly confided about his childhood in response to Elena’s question.
As I listened to his words while looking into his blue eyes, it seemed strange that forgotten childhood memories were coming back little by little. The time when I couldn’t even imagine that my family would fall, that is, the time when I was the happiest in my life before my parents passed away.
“I couldn’t eat or wash well, let alone dress properly, and I had a very ugly appearance because I was living on the road. As an orphan, I couldn’t read, and the only thing I knew how to do was use my body.”
He was the commander of the imperial knights, and was even given the title of count for his great achievements in war, so she thought he had always walked a glorious path. It was a dark past that could not even be imagined from his undisturbed, neat appearance.
“A shoe shiner to a porter. In the arena, Ieven fought for the nobility, earning money at random. Still, I have never been ashamed of stealing things or hurting others.”
“…”
“However… One day, I was beaten to death in a square because I was mistaken for stealing a noblewoman’s jewelry. Some trampled me with their boots, some whipped me with their belts.”
“…Count.”
“I was naked in the middle of the square, and I was forcibly searched right down to my underwear, but no jewels came out.”
