Chapter 175
Translator: Yonnee
—
The woman with red hair received the flower.
Her sharp, cat-like long eyes gave off a sharp yet refreshing feeling. The clear, milky fair skin contrasted with the intensely burning red hair, radiating an unparalleled beauty.
Indeed, she was a living embodiment of beauty.
“……”
Reina, who had been watching them like a spectator, blinked her eyes.
The red-haired woman pointed to the distant peony flowers and at the same time grabbed Ethan’s hand.
That is, she unreservedly touched Ethan, who is famous for his mysophobia.
Even more surprising was that Ethan, without any hesitation, naturally followed the red-haired woman.
“What is this…?”
Why would he… someone famous for blocking anyone’s approach…
“……”
A sense of crisis. Yes. What Reina felt at that moment was a sense of crisis.
“This can’t be happening….”
Something was wrong. There must be a misunderstanding. This wasn’t just a level of a mere red warning.
Cold sweat rushed in an instant, and each joint stiffened abruptly. With her pupils fixed on just one place, she had forgotten to move.
Could it be… Did she ruin their relationship by hesitating too much?
Fear of that level rushed in.
No. Ethan, he… he’s not that kind of person.
“……”
Was he truly not?
From the beginning, everyone shouted that it was so uncharacteristic of Ethan to be in this kind of relationship with her. So, what if he changed? What if he found a new love?
It was an absurd train of thought. Yes, she knew that too. If anyone knew Ethan, they would laugh at these questions as close to delusions.
However, it’s a well-known fact that clear issues for others are the most confusing for oneself. Faced with unforeseen visual information, she, like a wanderer who lost her destination, could do nothing.
It was at that moment when emotions dominated reason, inducing countless assumptions.
Staring blankly at them, Reina’s attention was abruptly caught when her gaze met the red-haired woman’s.
For a moment, the woman playfully tilted her head, then clapped her hands and muttered something towards Ethan.
Unfortunately, the content was inaudible.
‘Why can’t I hear it? What on earth are they talking about?’
Certainly, with her abilities, she should be able to hear that conversation.
However, due to the tumultuous inner thoughts or for some other reason, the content remained unheard.
“……”
At that moment, the red-haired woman pointed towards Reina with her chin. Finally, Ethan also noticed the outsider.
Reina slowly turned around, piercing Ethan’s figure with her gaze. Unconsciously, she clenched her sweaty hands tightly.
How would he react when he saw her?
How would he handle this situation where he was with another woman?
Human beings, more than anything, were particularly sensitive to negativity. She was absolutely terrified of confronting his reaction.
Her body felt as if it were under a freezing spell, unmoving.
“……”
And finally… her fears came true. There was no trace of delight on his turned face.
“Why…”
Why was he making that face?
“Why…”
Why was he making such an unpleasant face?
These questions bubbled up instantly, and simultaneously, a painful sigh burst out between the crimson lips.
“Why on earth…”
In an instant, the worst-case scenarios surged, and simultaneously, a stinging sensation seeped through the moistened feeling above her white cheeks.
Yet, even without realizing it, the woman let the flowing tears be, bowing her head deeply.
“…No.”
It was intensely loathsome for him to smile harmlessly at another woman.
She wished that his endless gaze was solely for her.
She wished that his gaze would belong only to her, that his smile—as he would keep a stoic expression for everyone else—would be reserved exclusively for her.
Yes, Reina Chantra desperately wanted to monopolize Ethan Liam.
With that realization, tears gushed out.
“Uu… Uwahh!”
“Reina!”
His surprised voice could be heard in the distance, but could there be any presence of mind left for her, who had begun to uncontrollably spew tears?
“Why…! Why are you giving flowers to that woman…! Ethan, you’re my boyfriend…!”
A sudden outburst of wailing left everyone in the peony garden stiffened.
However, regardless of the reactions around her, like a child who dreamed of nightmares at night, Reina wiped away the streaming tears with the back of her hand and shifted her gaze.
“Don’t smile like that at other women, waaahh, only to me, hiicc, only to me…! Uwahh!”
Whether she was walking in the right direction now, whatever it was she was saying, or what kind of expression he’s making—those things didn’t seem important.
Reina felt like she couldn’t stand it anymore unless she’d pour out these words, screaming, like they were escaping from my throat.
“Give flowers, hiic, only to me! Don’t smile like that at other women…! And don’t let them touch you…! Wahhh!”
Whether Reina’s steps were fast or whether it was him who moved to her front in a single breath, it didn’t matter. Continuing to sob, she moved her feet.
“Reina.”
Although he opened his lips to say something, the woman, whose words were a mix of anguish, fear, and tenderness, prevented him from speaking.
“I hate it, I hate it so much! I don’t, I don’t know— whoever it is, whatever! Hiiic, Ethan’s mine, don’t touch him! Uwahhhh!”
“Reina, that’s not—”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong, I’m sorry about everything, uwahhh. I won’t, I won’t be close to Eli any, hiicc, anymore. So don’t make that look, don’t be comfortable with someone else! Uwaaaaaahhh….”
In the end, Ethan enveloped Reina’s tear-stricken face in his hands. Listening to her alternating expressions of apology and resentment pouring out as she was without context, he diligently wiped away the streaming tears.
“Stop crying. It’s not what you think, Reina. So calm down first, okay?”
“Hiicc, how can I, how can I calm down when you, uwaah, when you’re smiling like that, smiling so breathtakingly like that! At another woman! Wahhh, that smile is mine…!”
So, at this moment, Reina was behaving more like a spoiled child than a rational person.
