As the owner closed the box containing the green brooch, when he began closing the boxes of the remaining brooches one by one, I unknowingly caught another glimpse of the blue brooch.
“I’ll come later to pick up the brooch. Where do I pay?”
“The payment will be handled by the friend over there at the counter. During that time, while I was settling the bill with the employee, Ian was choosing the frame with the owner. After talking for a while as if discussing something, he approached my direction not long after.
“How long will it take?”
In an instant, Ian, who stood in front of me, responded as he opened the shop door.
“It will be ready in two days.”
“Fortunately, it won’t take that long. Do you like the brooch?”
Tilting his head slightly, he looked directly into my eyes.
“Yes. It’s nice because it closely resembles the color of fresh greenery.”
With that, even before he could finish speaking, he showed a bright smile.
It was just an ordinary eye contact. He just smiled lightly, looking at me.
Is it because Ian’s pupils under the sunlight were shining like the blue jewel I saw earlier? For a moment, my breath was caught.
Unconsciously, in that fleeting moment, a firm hand intertwined with mine.
“Shall we go eat now?”
I couldn’t even send a short response. After forcibly swallowing my dry saliva, I just nodded.
“Madam, the master went to Miss Rosebelia’s room.”
“What happened to Herman?”
“He asked if there were any injuries.”
Olivia slowly raised her eyebrow.
‘Why on earth is Herman so concerned about Rosebelia?’
Margaret, who was carefully observing Olivia’s somewhat stern expression, cautiously spoke.
“For now, we should quickly check Miss Rosebelia’s condition…”
“I think it’s better to put that on hold for now.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
Olivia lifted the corner of her mouth. Herman’s attitude was a bit concerning, but didn’t they witness an interesting scene in the square?
‘Although he is just a commoner with nothing remarkable even if he is called a White Knight…’
Even so, how could he think of meeting a commoner?
“I was thinking of somehow arranging a noble marriage for her, but it seems I was too generous.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Postponing the forced arranged marriage is a good idea.”
Even if he were called a White Knight of the White Knight Order, he was just an unremarkable commoner. On the contrary, it wouldn’t be bad if those two helped each other.
How sad would Lilliana be if Rosebelia married a commoner?
How would Herman react if he found out?
Just imagining Rosebelia marrying a commoner made laughter escape as if wind was blowing into my lungs.
‘It seems like nobility is too much for my destiny, and a commoner suits me perfectly.’
“So… what about the potion?”
“Dylan said he couldn’t give it to me, but Empress Dowager seemed to want me to try it first.”
“So, are you really going to use the potion?”
“Well, which one would be better? It’s a happy dilemma.”
Olivia’s mouth, lightly tapping her chin with her fingertips, curled up. She seemed to be pondering for a moment and opened her mouth again.
“It might feel a bit trivial to use the potion. It’s a bit regrettable after enduring it all this time.”
“If Rosebelia decides to marry that commoner…”
If Rosebelia were to marry that commoner, it would be like voluntarily falling into a pit. Sitting quietly and watching that unfold seemed quite enjoyable.
“I’ll have to watch for a while. The situation seems to be turning quite interesting.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
