Chapter 99
Lafel's mouth his, which had been running high until earlier, was blocked. There was no way that Lapel, who had never experienced emotional exchanges or love, would be able to say something like 'I love you as much as the sky and the earth Annette's words were like a riddle too difficult for him. Rafel was confused as to what the hell she was thinking when she asked this question.
Annette looked up at his trembling dark blue eyes her. Sharp and beautiful eyes like a beast. Although he does not interact with others and is stubborn about his own way, he is a person who can't be so weak. So angry and irritable when Annette in her previous life was fine, but when she lay down sick, she couldn't shout out loud in front of her and took care of herself. And he was the only one who stayed by his side of her until he died.
Although she did not love Annette, she was the only woman in Rafel's life, her his.She had no one else.Annette, who knew this better than anyone else, skimmed his face her her.
'How could I hate a man like this.'
The moment Lafel said he liked her, Annette's heart her was touched. Even if it wasn't a rational feeling, it was just a good feeling as a close acquaintance. After his return to her, it felt like being hurt alone and being compensated for the troubled past. However, a vague confession like 'I like you' wasn't enough. He was even more so when he thought of the path he had to take.
'It would have been great if we weren't in this situation.'
A bitter smile crept across Annette's lips her her.She interrogated Ben March all night last night.And she found out more than she thought.
In her judgment of her, if Lafel's feelings of her were halfway, she'd better put it off at this point.So as not to get caught up in her own path.And, after all this, she to be able to leave him in peace.
Annette, who had captured his heart, her her, reached out and brushed his chiseled cheek, her.Then Lafel looked down at her, her confused eyes, her under her long lashes, her Her Annette, who effectively drew his attention to her, spoke softly.
“Sorry, I can only answer like this. But i… I wonder how much you really like me. I can't respond to the emotions that pass for a moment like the spring wind. So please think carefully.”
“Think carefully, what do you mean?”
Lapel, who urgently grabbed Annette's wrist her her asked again His face was fierce as if he were angry but his dark blue eyes her were strangely shaking as if he were about to cry Seeing this, Annette asked quietly.
“Lapel. Are you sure your priorities are…… Can you put me first?”
“Priority?”
“Yes. More than your family, more than your honor. Do you like me that much?”
Annette, who had finished her meaningful words, looked at Lapel blankly. But Rafel couldn't answer anything. Because it was a problem he had never thought about. Somehow, it felt like she was far from her, so Lapel tried to hug Annette's waist her involuntarily. However, Annette, who slightly avoided it, added with a sad smile.
“If you can't do that, we just live as we have until now. That side will be better for each other. I'm so sorry, Lapel.”
At her words her Rafel was shocked to find her breathless Annette's words her rolled around every word and seemed to hit her stomach His mind his her was now overloaded with too much confusion.
Annette looked at him apologetically, then closed the bedroom door.The profile of her face her glimpsed through the crack in the door, was declaring complete severity.What they needed now was time to think carefully.
Last night, after catching Ben March, Annette went straight to Celestine's mansion. Of course, when it came to a comfortable place, there was no place like his own home her. So. No matter how morally immoral the society is going to be, his maternal uncle could not be tortured in his nephew's mansion.
Annette, who had recently read an educational book titled 'How to Confess a Lying Criminal', hardened her heart her.If anything, he was prepared to step in and take his own hands her.
'It's okay. I even read the appendix on easy and effective methods of torture.'
Getting rid of the false accusation was a long-standing wish that Annette had longed for in her previous life. Only now, after dying once, is I finally close to that goal. His previous life was enough for her that she ended cleanly and in vain without knowing anything. Annette was determined to find out the whole truth, even if it meant getting blood on her white hands her.
Entering the Keers family's annex I had visited before, Celestine, who had already been waiting for me, was delighted. Relief appeared on her face when she confirmed Annette's safety her. Celestine, who was approaching this way, suddenly hardened her expression. Found Ben March being dragged by Rylin's hand from behind.
'Then the kidnapper…!!'
In an instant, the blood drained from Celestine's face her. From the day she was kidnapped, Celestine hadn't had a single night's restful sleep. Own mind Her being eaten away, her soul Her being eaten away, was so painful that she could not close her eyes.
At this time, someone hugged Celestine's shoulders as she trembled in panic. She was a kind and warm touch. The blonde hair that touched her cheeks, and the soft scent of flowers in her arms she seemed to hug her heart her. Annette, who hugged Celestine tightly, whispered softly.
“You will be fine now, Celestine. I finally caught the nightmare that haunted you.”
The moment she heard Annette's words, Celestine felt something in her heart her unravel. At the same time, a sense of relief and release came over her, strong enough to make her dizzy. Celestine leaned against her soft arms and closed her eyes. Has come for this long nightmare to come to an end.
She had a lot to hear from him, having caught the long-lost Ben March. Celestine, who had rested her forehead on Annette's shoulder her, raised her head reluctantly. Did n't know because of the trauma, but an incredibly pretty man was holding him by the scruff of his neck her.
“I-who is that?”
Celestine unwittingly gave the man her title her of honor her Judging from the fact that he brought Ben March, he seemed to be close to Annette's minion, but strangely, he didn't speak well.Is it because her beauty Is she so dignified?
The moment Celestine looked at her, the man smiled, folding the corners of her eyes. Overall, he was a handsome man with blue hair and a white face, but his bright red eyes shining under his eyelashes he were just as enchanting as roses. Celestine, seeing her smile her straight on her, groped it with her hand, wondering if she might be blinding herself.
“Oh, he's my informant. He is a very capable person.”
What Annette was saying next to her sounded far away like an echo These days, it was certain that Delta's informants were chosen based on their faces Her Celestine, half stunned by Raileen's shocking beauty Her almost missed Annette's next question.
“… Yeah? I beg your pardon?”
Celestine, with her dazed face her managed to take her eyes off Rylin.Then Annette, who saw this, laughed as if she was cute, and she repeated the question.
“Do you have more seats in your basement?”
……It looked elegant, as if someone asked if there was a winder.It never looked like someone trying to drag you down to the basement to mess with you.Annette, unlike her outward appearanceHer her, had a somewhat scary side.
Without a word, Celestine walked on her carpet and opened the door to the basement staircase. Since she had a very special guest, it was natural for her to make a seat for her even if she didn't have one of her. Celestine, who was about to go down the stairs like last time, hesitated. When she thought of the interrogation that would take place from now on, strangely, her steps her did not slow down. She was also reluctant to stay in the basement with the man who kidnapped her.
'I never thought I would be this weak.'
Rebuking herself Celestine bit her lip and struggled to move her foot her her At that time Annette holding Celestine by the shoulder her her shook his head.
“It's okay, Celestine. You are here As soon as the interrogation is over, I will tell you.”
“… Sorry. And thanks, Annette.”
Celestine, her eyes reddened, withdrawn from the staircase. In fact, even for her Annette her, it was better for her to stay on top of her. Because if she heard this or that from Ben, she could have spilled Lafel's past. For example, who Rafel's birth mother was and what his childhood was like.
This was his past that not even Annette knew about.It would be better for Celestine to leave than to risk Lafel's personal life being exposed.
“Then I will go. Don't worry, I'm taking a break here.”
Annette, who affectionately kissed Celestine on the cheek, led the way down. The air in the basement was even warm, probably because he had been there before. Fortunately, Zach, the former tenant (?), Seems to have let go. Interrogation chair was empty, so it was a good thing.
Lylin followed Annette and grabbed Ben March by the scruff of the neck. Then Celestine closed the stairway entrance from above. Finally, when the stunned Ben was tied to the interrogation chair, everything was ready.
