Chapter 36 – I Won’t Stop Them From Coming but No Reunions (3)
Only then was she finally released from Melissa’s pressure.
“Go.”
“Oh, my leg hurts. You stepped on it too hard. My shoes are also crumpled.”
“Thank you for finishing it just by stepping on it. If this was home, I would have taken off my pants first.”
“What do you do after taking it off?”
“I would have stiffened my cock and whipped it with a whip. While angry about why he fucked another bitch.”
Terrible.
As I adjusted my dressing and was about to leave, Melissa looked at me in silence and asked,
“At Rapone Street… Are you going back in?”
“Nothing like that. Living with you is more fun.”
Melissa smiled brightly as if her heart was relieved when she said that while tapping the floor with her shoe because her instep hurt.
“I’m not strict like my wife. Right?”
“What did you just do?”
“This is love. A love hawk.”
“Funny. Anyway I go Let’s go together when we get back.”
“Huh. Have a good trip~”
She had broken up with Melissa and was on her way across the hall to the stage inside her.
Suddenly, well-dressed young women appeared and blocked my way.
Someone said it was Alicia and her thugs.
In other words, the arrogant bitch gang.
I was surprised to meet them in an unexpected place.
“Are you guys here too?”
“You too? Do it while covering the ladies.”
Alicia pretended to be dignified and looked at me with contempt.
“Sir Naru? This is not a school. Inside, we are equal ladies and gentlemen. Let’s not show off what we didn’t learn. Oh ho ho ho.”
So what.
Don’t laugh grotesquely and move away.
I shrugged.
“Then have fun.”
“Stop. If you saw me, you wouldn’t have to say hello.”
“What greetings?”
“Didn’t you learn to get down on one knee and kiss the back of her hand when you meet a beautiful lady at a social gathering?”
Alicia smiles brightly.
After that, the two idiots on both sides added their words.
“People are watching. Please bow to Lady Alicia by bowing her respectfully to her on one knee.”
“You look beautiful today too, lady,” He said, and he would be very happy. Do you understand, Assistant Professor?”
I guess they want to give me something like humiliation, but do you think they will?
“I’m sorry. Busy.”
As I passed them, I heard a voice behind me.
“Where! Do you want me to kiss the back of your hand? Are you ignoring me?”
Are you not paying attention to people anymore?
She’s a duke’s daughter, but she’s such an idiot.
Pretending not to hear, I strode straight up to the podium.
“Welcome, Naru-nim. Please stand here next to Michelle.”
Only me and my mother-in-law were on the podium.
Heirger, the former craftsman, was nowhere to be seen.
The butler exclaimed.
“As Count Heirger, the head of the Lafone family, went on a trip to Nice, the largest seaside resort in the southern region a few days ago, Michel, the hostess of the family, will speak directly!”
The applause of the people gathered in the hall resonated loudly and then subsided.
Madame Michelle, dressed in an elegant dress and with her hair up, stood in the center of the podium and calmly began to speak.
“First of all, I am very happy that you visited our Lafone family even though everyone is busy. Today, we held this banquet to announce great news to our Rapone family. It is related to the curse of Vera, which has been causing our family to suffer.”
Before Mrs. Michel announced her good news, she explained the history of her family step by step.
How the Rapone family came to be cursed by Vera.
How much strength it took to endure the curse passed down to the next generation.
Also, I am proud that I endured with the wise wisdom and patience of my ancestors.
Thirty minutes flew by while listening to all this.
“But we got through it in the end. Everyone. I proudly declare it here and now. Our Rapone family has been completely freed from Vera’s curse!”
“Wow!”
Enthusiastic cheers and applause poured in at Mrs. Michelle’s joyful cry.
She then looked back at me.
For the first time in my life, with a very friendly look.
“It was thanks to Sir Kang Na-ru, my son-in-law whom I love so much and whom I cherish terribly, that ended our painful time. If it wasn’t for Lord Naru’s help, Vera’s curse would have continued forever.”
“Ohhhhh.”
Exclamation flowed from people’s mouths.
They all looked at me as if they had no idea.
“Everyone. You will be amazed when you hear it. Lord Naru was not defeated by Vera. The whole limp was fulfilling a painful bet with Vera for our Lafone family. A whopping two years.”
“Wow… !”
“Is that true Lord Naru?”
At someone’s question, I nodded slightly.
“Oh my god… ! It must have been very painful for people to stare at it, but how did you endure it?”
“… My ex-wife. I really wanted to show Ashley the sea.”
“Oh oh! Impressive!”
“I’ve only seen such a beautiful story in books, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in person!”
“It’s really commendable that he tried to save his wife and her family by enduring all the insults and criticism of the world!”
“You took good care of your son-in-law!”
“I must have had enough of the reward for having the heart of the beautiful Mrs. Ashley! Haha!”
Since then, people’s mood has changed dramatically.
I started cheering for Ashley and me.
“You two are meant to be, don’t get divorced!”
“Go to court and cancel it!”
“Let’s meet again and live happily ever after!”
Could this be the painting Mrs. Michel wanted?
She and her Ashley were laughing very satisfied.
“Now then, our proud hero. Shall we listen to Lord Naru’s impressions?”
Mrs. Michel came up to me with her very bright face and gave me a light hug.
“Declare that you and Ashley are getting back together.”
She stepped back behind her, leaving behind a whisper.
I stepped forward and looked at everyone.
“Hmm… Nice to meet you.”
Currently, my mood is calm.
I wasn’t happy, nervous, or bad about this place.
It felt like doing overdue homework.
I felt relieved after finishing my homework.
“To be honest, I have been waiting for this moment since I came here today. The time when you pay attention to my voice. I don’t really have anything to say about what happened in the past. I will only tell you what will happen in the future.”
“Confess to Mrs. Ashley that you want to share a bed!”
The hall became a sea of laughter for a moment at the sound of someone jokingly shouting.
I waited for the laughter to stop before continuing.
“As you all know, my ex-wife Ashley and I are in the process of divorce by consent. I have no intention of retracting it. My mind will not change even after one year after the deliberation period ends. So, let me tell you clearly here. I have no desire to start over with Miss Ashley. In other words, I declare that we will never meet again after today. That is all.”
He threw the bomb in a calm voice.
When a completely unexpected statement came out of my mouth, everyone was shocked and couldn’t keep their mouth shut.
Ashley was silent in her shock, but Mrs. Michel frowned and shouted hastily.
“What are you talking about!”
“I have said everything I have to say. I am no longer a member of this family, so I will go.”
“That wretch! Wait!”
***
Mrs. Michel hurriedly ran out.
The cheeky son-in-law was climbing into the carriage.
Her only thought was that even if she pushed hard, she would make sure to kneel down in the living room of her house.
“Where are you going!”
“Now that we’re done talking, let’s go.”
Michelle was startled when she met her son-in-law’s eyes.
She was looking down coldly at herself.
Have you ever had a look like this in your life?
Never seen
Never really seen
She must have hated herself very much.
She involuntarily softened her spirits.
“Go, can’t go. What about ashley? I am? What about our family?”
The son-in-law gives off an unfamiliar atmosphere and smiles.
“Since they are hard-working people, they will do well without me. Do not worry.”
When she was limping, her chin had some flesh from her lack of exercise, but now she has lost the weight and her jawline is sharp.
Michelle saw the subtle change in his face and feared she might lose her forever if she treated him the same way as before.
“Whoa, what do you want? What would you like me to do?”
“Please live a long, healthy life.”
“Don’t turn around! Come on, tell me what you want! Can I get down on my knees and beg?”
The corner of the son-in-law’s mouth curves slightly upward.
“I miss you.”
“What… ? Do you really have to go that far?”
“No. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”
“Naru. Let’s hurry. Come on.”
First, the woman in her carriage beckons her son-in-law to come inside.
“I’m busy, so I need to go. I had fun today.”
Those were his last words.
The son-in-law quickly got into the carriage and left.
“You can’t go… Where is the shame and leaving… !”
Mrs. Michel touched her forehead with a look of bewilderment.
When I turned my gaze toward the entrance of the building, many people rushed out and hurriedly went home.
“Go in! Get back in! I have something to tell you! Come on in!”
Michelle hurriedly ran over and tried to make things right, but no one listened to her.
The spacious hall was empty in an instant.
Ashley was filled with sobbing.
