After I Sent the Divorce Letter, My Husband Went Mad - Chapter 18

“Dancing?”

“Oh, you don’t have to dance with me. Cassel is handsome, so you must be popular. It’s okay to go down and dance with a girl you like. I also want to dance after a long time.”

Even though Leilia asked him to come with her, she was looking for another man… He wanted to be the object of her love affair. As Cassel thought that, his heart sank a little at the thought that he couldn’t even dance.

Then, he gazed directly at the woman in front of him.

“I want to dance with Young Lady Leilia.”

His serious words made her eyes widen. Leilia looked at him blankly and nodded her head with slightly sad eyes.

“All right.”

Eventually, they went downstairs.

On a small stage, slightly drunk people were dancing in excitement. After one song ended, another music played. Leilia and Cassel went up on stage and greeted each other. Today’s handsomely dressed Cassel and beautifully dressed Leilia drew attention.

As he took her hand, he could feel that her hands were hot.

…Did her hands get as hot as his?

‘I hope it’ll be as hot as her heart.’

He thought so

ﾟ･ : * ✧ * :･ﾟ

Leilia wanted to let go of the hot hands, but she couldn’t because Cassel was holding her tightly. Even as she danced slowly in her shoes, she kept focusing on the waist where his hand touched.

‘Haha, what have I done?’

She laughed at herself.

Even this amount of contact made her heart race, and it seemed as if she would lose her composure. Still, she danced with him.

‘Maybe, it would’ve been better to dance separately.’

Leilia clicked her tongue.

She was a little sad when Cassel said that he wanted to dance with her. It was because it felt as though she would never get to dance as his lover. Because of that, today felt like she was dancing with him for the first and last time.

Although she wasn’t the one he loved, Leilia was glad she could still seize this opportunity in the position of his sponsor.

‘…What should I do with this heart?’

She asked herself.

However, she had no clear answer. In the end, she had no choice but to carry on.

By the end of the music, Leilia’s face was dyed red. It was because she was embarrassed that she had danced with him. So, when the dance was over, she hurriedly came off the stage and gently let go of his hand.

“I’ll go get some water.”

At her words, Cassel nodded his head. It was only when she left that he let his breath out, too. Leilia couldn’t bear to notice that his face was also flushed as well.

ﾟ･ : * ✧ * :･ﾟ

Returning to her seat, Leilia drank cold water. As if trying to come to her senses, she gazed at the water in the clear glass and smiled bitterly.

‘Really…’

Even though she was just holding his hands, she was already so thrilled about it.

‘I’m crazy.’

If Cassel had any affinity for her, wouldn’t something have happened today?

She wasn’t confident.

While Leilia took another glass of cold water and tried to return to Cassel, at that moment, she could hear a familiar voice.

“Leilia?”

“Senior Juron?”

Not only did she see Juron at the academy, but she also ran into him here as well. Even though she wanted to frown when someone she really hated appeared, she held it in. It was because she didn’t want to offend a senior who failed the graduation exam again this time.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here for a drink.”

At her words, Juron looked intently at Leilia before nodding his head in agreement.

“Even during her academy days, you often came to drink with men. Did you come here again?”

“Right.”

He wasn’t wrong because every time she came for a drink, the man who came with her changed as well.

“Why did you refuse to have so many men?”

Juron asked curiously.

“I don’t like the thought of being a mistress, senior.”

Leilia replied flatly. Even though she had told him countless times before, it seemed that he forgot each time.

“Really? Can’t we dance at least once?”

At Juron’s words, she stared at him.

“I’ll refuse.”

She couldn’t have left any room since this man was very persistent. As she responded, Leilia tried leaving though Juron reached out and grabbed her arm.

“Where are you going? Are your words making any sense?”
