Cillian patted Yitty’s face. Her hot cheeks burned his fingers.For a moment, he felt like a surge of electricity had run through him, but he continued patting her face.He had to wake her up and give her a lecture. She could not be sleeping on the couch without anything covering her. She would catch a cold.Cillian took off his coat to cover her while thinking about this.“Wake up, Yitty. Stop drinking.”“Drink… Stop drinking what?...”Yitty finally opened her eyes. She seemed to see Cillian’s face in her stupor.“Cillian… What are you doing here?”She reached out to pinch Cillian’s chin. “You’re here… Drink with me!”Cillian lost his temper at this. “Do you still want to drink? Just look at how much you’ve had. Are you planning to drink until the sun rises if I don't come upstairs?!”The more Cillian talked about it, the louder he got. By the time he snapped out of it, he realized he had lost his temper at Yitty for nothing. He was about to apologize when Yitty suddenly s
The temperature in the room heated up the moment they touched.Cillian almost immediately pushed Yitty’s hand away, but both her hands that were circled around his neck refused to budge. She did not even give him a chance to catch his breath.She probably did not have enough. Yitty bit Cillian’s lip and Cillian trembled from the pain. Even his lips were quivering.“Yitty Jenks!Her eyes popped open the moment he roared her name.“Who’s making all that noise…” Before she could finish the sentence, she recognized the person in front of her. Her eyes widened at the sight of Cillian.“What are you doing, Cillian?!”Yitty kicked him right in the stomach, and Cillian fell leaning against the couch while holding his stomach.She had used quite a lot of force, and he did not manage to evade the ick.Yitty began shouting at him, “What are you doing in my room, Cillian? Where’s Lucy?”After that, she realized that her lips were a little wet.Could she and Cillian have… kissed?“You t
Even though Yitty had been unhappy about Cillian’s various actions before and there was even a point when she started to like him less, she knew very well what kind of person he was. He was not the kind of person to take advantage of another person, but why did she feel so angry? Yitty wiped away her tears and looked up at Cillian to say, “Alright. I’ll give you a chance to explain. Tell me why you’re in this room. Where’s Lucy?”Cillian said to her patiently, “You started drinking in this room, and Lucy couldn’t make you stop. She went downstairs to get help, and that’s why I came here.”“Well… Um… Why were we… doing that on the couch just now?”Cillian pretended not to understand. “What were we doing?”“Well… that…”Yitty could not bring herself to say it. She punched Cillian in the chest. “You know what I mean. I don’t want to explain it so clearly.”Cillian gave a soft laugh. “That’s because you were drunk and didn’t even know who was with you. You grabbed me into your arms
Yitty was almost blowing up. “What are you doing, Cillian?”Cillian said nothing but pressed the chattering Yitty against his chest.His embrace was warm, and Yitty could clearly hear his beating heart thumping even more wildly.“I’ve told you before that I don’t blame you, Cillian. It was a one-sided thing. But what exactly do you want from me now?”Yitty suddenly felt upset. Cillian had ignored her before, and after that incident between them, Cillian even wanted to draw a clear line between them. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was, but she felt more sadness than anger.She began sniffling the next instant, and her eyes turned red. Her tears were almost falling.Yitty thought about how cheap her tears were tonight. She had already cried in front of Cillian once, and she was crying again now.She was never someone like that. She was someone who could command others. Her subordinates respected and feared her.Yitty had never been someone to hesitate, but when it
Cillian took a deep breath. He did not expect Yitty to be so heartless about this. She was speaking as if there never was anything between them.Has Yitty really lost all her feelings for him?Cillian felt like the sky was falling. A part of his heart had collapsed, and it felt like nothing could ever repair it.He was in despair as he fell limply onto the couch. However, his gaze never left Yitty.There was no expression on Yitty’s face, and it showed no emotion.Cillian tried to search for any sign of sadness or sorrow on her face but found nothing.Matthew’s words suddenly rang in his mind. 'If you really love her, you should tell her immediately no matter what the outcome is.'Cillian knew that he could no longer suppress this. He had feelings for Yitty, and he had them since the day they met. No one had been able to enter his heart since then.The past was in the past and the most important thing was to cherish the person right in front of him.Cillian finally understood
“Are you telling me the truth, Cillian?”Cillian looked at Yitty’s hand that was grabbing him. He took it in his and nodded seriously at her. “Yes, I’m telling you the truth. It’s straight from my heart. There’s nothing else I can say if you don’t believe me.”After all, Yitty did not believe him before as he had used up all of her trust.Cillian did not ask for her to believe his words. All he knew was that he wanted to tell Yitty about how he really felt. That way, he would have no regrets.However, it hurt a lot for him to wish her happiness. It hurt so much that his fingers were trembling from it.“If what you said was true, why are you leaving?”He smiled bitterly. “Wouldn’t it be awkward between us if I don’t leave the room?”Yitty gave a long sigh. “If you were telling the truth, you shouldn’t leave the room.”Cillian was surprised at this. He asked, “Why?”Could it be…“Lucy was right. You are a blockhead… Maybe it’s better that I make it clear. Beating about the bush
That was a burn to Matthew. After Cillian confessed his feelings, all that was left for them to do was to get intimate. Why would Lucy and Matthew need to go upstairs? “I was being stupid. Let’s go, Lulu. You’ve been so busy that you haven’t had anything to eat. The palace kitchen has prepared some supper. Do you want to have some?”Lucy rubbed her empty stomach and nodded.She was famished, but there was too much to do today. Not to mention the situation between Cillian and Yitty as well. She had her hands full and there was hardly enough time for rest. Even her empty stomach had to endure its hunger. It was not until Matthew mentioned this that her stomach began growling.Matthew burst out saying, “Looks like I know you really well. I even know when you get hungry.”“Of course. You practically live in my heart and mind. What don’t you know about me?”They joked with each other as they walked to the dining area that Juliana had arranged for them.The Charleston palace was re
Lucy was not about to let Charlotte have her way. She waved all the staff members off, and they quickly left.Charlotte was furious. She wanted so much to throw the glass of water on the table onto Lucy’s face. She grabbed the cup and was about to throw the water when Matthew stopped her.“You…” Charlotte did not manage to finish her words. She exclaimed when Matthew stopped her with everything he got. Charlotte rubbed her wrist and realized that it was red from being gripped by him. She felt that her bones were almost crushed by him.Matthew had always been a gentleman. He would never act violently when thugs harassed him at times during work. He would even treat them politely when dealing with them. Even Lucy rarely saw this sight of him when he was being impatient.He ignored Charlotte’s objections and took a seat at the table as if nothing had happened.Matthew’s voice rang out clear and crisp in the air. Everyone heard him say, “You shouldn’t talk with your mouth full. Care
