Ines thought she would never meet him if she didn’t go to Romfield. But as if to mock her complacency, God brought Zemuren before her eyes.
She knows that he cannot threaten her in this situation.
Surely she knows that, but her body didn’t. The body trained in repeatedly repeated pain had a seizure as soon as it saw him, as if engraved.
“Do you want to go home?”
But even so, she couldn’t avoid him like this.
“No, it’s just a passing symptom. Now I’m really fine.”
She knew that the reaction that started automatically in her body would not be easily corrected by will alone. But she had to find out why Zemuren came here.
As a deer must circle around a lion to see where it is to feel at ease.
Carson carefully examined Ines’s complexion and then let go of her hand. He then moved to where the water bottle and cup were. In the meantime, she pulled her boots from the floor in front of her, bending over and moaning as she jammed her feet in.
“Your Highness.”
A cup of water suddenly came before her eyes.
“Ah …….”
When she lifted her head to express her gratitude, she saw Carson turning his head in the opposite direction of the cup.
Only then did Ines realize how she was sitting.
She quickly grabbed the front of her skirt with her hands.
“I’m sorry.”
He seemed to giggle, mistaking her for laughing.
“You don’t have to be sorry for that.”
Ines hurriedly buttoned her shirt and began to look around. The jacket he had taken off was flying behind her back. In her confused mind, she couldn’t button it properly, and when she got up to pick up the jacket, her boot, not properly worn, folded once, tilting her body. In an instant, her hand struck the cup in Carson’s hand, and the water in the cup soaked her neck and shirt.
“Ah!”
When the cold water touched her, she stepped back in surprise. When her foot caught on a chair and she was about to fall, Carson embraced her waist tightly. Their bodies were pressed together without a single gap in no time.
Ines, who had opened her eyes wide for a moment, struggled reflexively to break away from him. But Carson grabbed her waist more tightly.
“Stay still a little.”
“Your clothes will get wet.”
안 pushed with strength into her arms, completely clinging to herself, and Ines was frozen without being able to breathe properly.
“Stop causing trouble, Lady Ines Swelden.”
For a moment, the two stood without moving.
Only after getting close did she realize that Carson’s clothes were also quite wet. Surprised, Ines hurriedly grabbed her long sleeve and pressed down on his chest.
“What are you… doing now?”
Somehow, the lowered voice sounded slightly angry, and Ines abruptly stopped what she was doing.
“It seemed like your clothes were wet… I was trying to wipe them.”
“Please.”
“What?”
“Don’t do anything. I am completely out of it right now.”
Ines quickly raised the hand that had been pressing on his chest. He really seemed out of it, even his eyes slightly closed. The tightly closed lips made his sharp chin taut. As he exhaled long, his breath brushed Ines’s cheek.
“My Lord?”
“What is it now?”
“I’m really okay now.”
She had made a roundabout request to be let go, but there was no loss of strength from his hand.
Was Carson’s body always this hot? She felt the heat from their pressed bodies, and her mind became somewhat distant.
“Um, My Lord.”
“Carson.”
“What?”
Just as he was about to say something, a slight noise came from outside, followed by Noah’s voice.
“I have brought the doctor. I will come in.”
With that, the two quickly separated from each other as fast as they had come together.
“No! Wait a moment.”
Carson looked at Ines as he touched his forehead. He seemed frustrated as he paced around the table with large strides. After a moment of contemplation, he made a decision and opened a large trunk.
Men attending a hunt always prepare extra clothes. Only then did Ines realize what he was about to do.
“Change into this.”
“I’m fine.”
It was obvious what people would say if she went out in his clothes. There was already likely to be much talk because of what just happened; she could not cause him that inconvenience.
“Are you not hunting today?”
“It’s not that, but I can have my maid fetch some extra clothes.”
“Did you bring them to the hunting ground?”
“It’s not that, but it won’t take too long.”
Carson shook his head vigorously.
“No, that won’t do. You cannot take a single step out like this. Staying here long will be difficult as well.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
