Eventually, the Female Lead Ran Away (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 118

Deborah couldn’t understand it.

Zen Baker was in love with Deborah Johnson? It sounded as absurd as snow falling in summer.

Since when had he started liking her? No matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t figure it out.

Zen Baker had always been like that. Deborah had known Zen, but Zen hadn’t known Deborah—yet he had been kind to her as though he’d known her from the very beginning. His inconsistent behavior only made him seem stranger to Deborah.

Just when had he started liking her?

When he gave her candy? That night after she first attended a party with Dia? Or perhaps at dawn, when the snow was falling heavily?

She didn’t know. No matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t tell. She didn’t know when it began, nor why he liked her.

What could possibly be the reason? Her looks? There were many more beautiful than Deborah. Even Zen himself wasn’t ordinary in appearance.

His background was similar. Though he carried the complicated status of being Duke Verrain’s illegitimate son, he was, after all, a wealthy bourgeois now.

In contrast, Deborah was just an ordinary maid—and a widow who had lost her husband.

In the story Deborah knew, Zen had completely ignored Dia, who had looked only at him.

So how could the very man who rejected such a beautiful, kind woman—who thought only of him—now claim to love her, full of flaws as she was?

Deborah didn’t want to accept it. Originally, she had been nothing but an outsider in the tragic tale unfolding between Zen and Dia.

At first, she had only wished, even slightly, for Dia’s happiness—and beyond that, she hoped Zen could escape his role as the protagonist of that dreadful story.

Yes. Thanks to her intervention, Dia had avoided a terrible fate, and the relationship between Zen and Dia hadn’t twisted into something horrific.
