The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets - Chapter 33

“Why should I not know? Why should I cover it? What’s the reason I shouldn’t know about it?!”

Cade raised his head.

Cade frowned.  But at the same time, he smiled.

It’s been a long time since Abella stomped her feet like such a child.

She always had such a face when Cade did something ugly to get Abella’s attention…

Cade’s smile became bitter at the lingering images of the past that could never return.

Cade buried himself into the back of the sofa.

In front of Abella, he pulled a cigar that he had never smoked before.

Why?

“…… I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Cade spoke with a heavy heart.

Abella’s eyes shook.

He wanted to see her even when she was around him.

He thought the lyrics of the opera that he heard with Abella yesterday fit so well.

We waited for years to meet, but it was only one day.

Just one day.

Even spying on Abella every moment wasn’t close enough.

‘When will you ever smile at me?’

That was something he didn’t even wish for anyway.

It was okay to see her in a good condition. But this was different from that.

The distant truth would only make Abella in more pain.

“Do you know what happened?”

Abella, who had been silent for a while, asked.

Did he not want her to get hurt? Yes. Then if Cade did, it was clear that he knew the truth of the day.

Cade narrowed his eyes to Abella’s question.

“Cade.”

“…… Abella. I won’t admit it.”

Cade scratched his head again, feeling stuffy inside him.

“…… I have never done anything to harm you.”

When he was young, he couldn’t overcome the strokes of jealousy.

Although there were times when he did things he shouldn’t do.

“…… Lies.”

“See. You wouldn’t believe me.”

Cade shook his head and added.

“But listen to me this time, Abella.”

He glanced at his watch. It was time to move to the next place.

Cade rose up from his seat. He had been in such a rush to come to Amerigo that he hadn’t eaten at all.

As Cade slowly walked to the door, he paused for a moment.

“……please, Abella.”

Cade, who suddenly came and left, left the office, leaving an afterimage behind.

Leaving Abella alone.

Cade glared at Enoch, who was waiting for him, with cold eyes.

“I hope you don’t mess with me.”

Unlike before, there was little courtesy,

“Prince Enoch.”

Cade passed by Enoch, who was stiff in surprise.

Everything was getting twisted.

Cade swept his dry mouth and gestured toward the secretary who urged him.

“Where should we go?”

“Ohh. Huh…”

“Why are you crying?”

Cade asked annoyingly.

“What should I do? … You shouldn’t miss this! Do you know how much depends on this diplomatic issue……!”

“Shh. It’ll be possible to reach there if we ride on the horse from here.”

As Cade whistled, a black horse with a red mane ran out of the coachman’s hand. Cade squinted his eyes and laughed mischievously.

The crying secretary was first mounted on the horse before Cade got on.

“No, wait! This, this is not… oh oh oh oh!! Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Cade, who appeared like the wind, disappeared again like the wind.

Mrs. Amerigo, who was watching the scene, closed the curtains.

Why did the Emperor come here?

Mrs. Amerigo, who was pacing around her room and biting her nails, ran to the dressing table.

Then she checked the locked drawer and swept her chest down.

“Gamma?”

“Uh? Oh, it’s Simon.”

The startled Mrs. Amerigo opened her arms towards Simon. Mrs. Amerigo’s heart was pounding with fear.

‘No one should know. Never.’

Mrs. Amerigo calmed her mind with the consolation from Simon’s body temperature.

After Abella’s return, everything started to go awry.

Those who she thought had lost their relationship returned. Furthermore, the crocodiles that had been predating with their softened alertness began to open their eyes again.

It was a bad sign.

Mrs. Amerigo hugged Simon tightly.

The child whined, but Mrs. Amerigo’s arms did not release him.

As if keeping Simon from any danger.

‘No one should know…….’

Otherwise, this Amerigo would be over.

All the secrets would not only ruin Abella but Amerigo as well.

To calm the swarms of crocodiles, she needed to sacrifice Abella. That’s the only way to protect Amerigo.

Mrs. Amerigo’s eyes flashed. Feelings that were buried for a very long time stretched out.

Her obsession with Amerigo could not be stopped. Because this family was everything to her.

If someone threatens Amerigo, she would put everything on the line and smash it.

Even if it was Abella.
