Chubby Lady - Chapter 9
Chapter 9
I felt like I was going to go crazy at the thought of ruining a chance I had. “Like a fool, I wanted too much……”
Elena, who lowered her head and blamed herself, heard a familiar voice in her ears. “Elena, are you there?” Along with the sound of stepping on the grass, a tearful, longing voice. It was Wood. A faint light poured in front of Elena’s eyes. She hurriedly covered her mouth. Wood, with a lamp, was walking towards Elena from a distance. “Don’t run away.” Elena’s whole body froze at the firm and strong voice.
All she could do was hide her red burn-scarred hands behind her back. “How did you know I was here?” asked Elena. “All the doors to the mansion are locked to prevent you from leaving. Unless you fly away into the sky, this is the only place for you to hide.” Wood casually sat down next to Elena, saying something she wasn’t sure if he was joking or serious about. Then, without looking at Elena’s face, he held out the pair of gloves she always wore. It was an act of consideration for Elena’s tender heart, who was about to burst into tears. Hurrying to put on the gloves, Elena muttered in a barely audible voice, “Hey, is he gone? Royce. It’s you.” “Yes, I sent him back. He said he would like to formally apologize again later. I was very sorry. Lloyd didn’t hurt you with bad intentions, so please forgive me.” It hurt my heart to see Wood wrap his arms around Lloyd while apologizing. Even when she lived like a maid in a relative’s house and was beaten, and when she was scolded by the senior cooks at Bacchus, she was never more sad and sick than she was now. Lloyd, who might be Wood’s lover, was so beautiful that she couldn’t even be jealous. She felt she was better off leaving the mansion than living with burn marks on her and enduring people’s stinging stares. It didn’t look like she would be able to stay in the mansion for long, whether she went out on her own or was fired by Wood.
When I thought about it, I felt my heart become calmer. “Count, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to ask you something.” “You tell me.” “I wonder how often Mr. Royce visits the mansion. If he visits frequently… I think I need to know his taste so that I can serve him more delicious food next time.” “About once a month? Sometimes more often than that.” Once a month, not a small number of times. A man and a woman of marriageable age who go home without caring about other people’s gaze.
It was proof that they were not in a normal relationship. After hearing Wood’s words, I felt an unusual sense of courage. The words I had been thinking in my head all through the meal came out of my mouth. “Two minutes…. it’s an old relationship?” “Maybe.” He had treated her so kindly until just now, but the casual admission of his relationship with Royce made it feel like her heart was being torn apart. I guessed it, but it hurt me more than when Lloyd found the burn marks. Elena’s whole body trembled as she tried to swallow her tears. “You must have been outside for a long time and your body is strained. It must hurt, Elena”, Wood said.
