Chapter 235: Tpcp 235
“Now, I have a suspicion that you’re forming a gang with the patriarch without my knowledge.”
“Strangely, I’m not as angry now as I used to be, am I?”
“Lucerne.”
“But that doesn’t mean my suspicions about you have disappeared.”
Elisha was nervous. Lucerne stared at her and smiled.
“Try wearing a necklace. I’ll buy it for you.”
“… … Why? The Head said he would buy it.”
“From now on don’t accept anything from others anymore. I’m also jealous when Gaju does that.”
She found his eccentricities very difficult.
“And,”
he continued.
“Our wedding anniversary is coming up.”
Elisha blinked.
“Since when did you become a romanticist?”
“It depends on the woman.”
“… … You’re acting weird today.”
Lucerne was still.
‘Maybe between us… … . there’s trust?
Elisha couldn’t help but think that way, even if only for a moment.
“Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?”
“I’m usually good to mine, Elisha.”
“I know. You are very kind, even when it comes to your possessions,”
Elisha whispered softly. What she meant was: Don’t do anything you haven’t done before. Lucerne didn’t budge.
“Right, I’m indulging my possession, so take your pick.”
Elisha wanted to tilt her head. She lifted her hair. Lucerne personally put the black pearl necklace around her neck. It was a relatively simple and elegant item that fit perfectly around her pale, thin neck.
“What do you think?”
Elisha looked back at him, touching her neck. Her beautiful, wavy blonde hair hung next to her ear. Lucerne stared at her for a few seconds. The answer came back one tempo late.
“Pretty. In my eyes, that’s always the case.”
Elisha’s pale cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her eyes and a faint thought crossed her mind. She tried to ignore that foreboding premonition.
‘Why are you looking at me like that?’
Maybe it was Elisha’s merit that moved his heart? Lucerne was looking at her with a burning gaze as if there was something he wanted so dearly. But the way he ran his thumb across the back of her neck was a very delicate caress.
“Why are you doing this? It’s not like you.”
“It’s peaceful.”
“Huh… … . In your life… … . Are there days like that?”
Lucerne’s hand started to touch her back. His hands moved as if scratching or pressing her skin lightly and strangely. Elisha placed her hand on his wrist.
“No, not now.”
But even today, he did not allow rejection.
“Ah!”
Elisha’s hand, which had been refusing, fell off. Lucerne’s other hand was on her thigh. This is because he pressed down on the middle of her underwear.
“Huh—”
At the same time, he gently bit her ear.
“I know.”
Lucerne said after a moment.
“A day like this comes because I’ve met a great woman.”
Lucerne pulled his hand away. Only then was Elisha able to look into his eyes properly.
“I want to hold you gently.”
“What if I squeeze too hard and you want to run away? Even if you are suspicious, I won’t question you. And I’ll try tightening around you gently.”
“… … What did I?”
“If you have something to say to me, say it, Elisha.”
Elisha’s body stiffened ever so slightly.
‘Could it be that he realized what I asked Ilione to do?’
But that couldn’t be possible.
The route requested by Elisha. Even if the information about that route was leaked, it would take some time. No matter how great he was, she couldn’t have been discovered this quickly. Lucerne had excellent intuition, so she would just give it a try.
“What do you mean? Should I sing to you?”
Elisha spoke calmly. There was just the slightest hint of sarcasm disguised as a joke. Lucerne raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“That’s good. Do it at night. Naked. Ah, but better yet, wear jewelry.”
“… … Lucerne.”
