Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 104

“It was by chance that I met her, and since she kept appearing in my thoughts, I took the initiative to approach her first. My wife doesn’t know this, though.”

“Why hide it? Just say it outright. I also wonder why you never told the girl about our knowing the fact that we were originally in a contract marriage—forcing her to play along pointlessly.”

At Diovil’s reproach, Yezar hesitated briefly before answering.

“It was my selfishness. I didn’t want to let go of Julietta. So I wanted to leave behind anything that might keep her heart tied to me.”

At this answer, Garene and Diovil glanced at their son’s face in surprise. Their son, who had always been so free of desire. Even during that long, unrequited love, he had preferred to watch from afar rather than pursue what he wanted. Garene had nearly suffocated from the frustration back then.

“To see you wanting something for the first time—it’s astonishing. But yes, she’s like sunshine. The way she makes an effort to meet my eyes and smile brightly while talking—it was so lovely.”

Garene recalled the time she had spent with Julietta. Despite struggling inwardly, she had always managed to smile, never once showing displeasure. Diovil shared the same sentiment.

“She listened so attentively to my dull stories, always responding with kind words. There were foods she didn’t like, but since we offered them, she ate them earnestly—I didn’t even realize they were ones she disliked.”

“That’s right. And when I tried to give her a necklace, do you know what she said? She refused, saying an object imbued with someone else’s precious memories was too rare and valuable to accept. That’s when I realized it—ah, a too-precious angel has come to our son.”

They had only briefly seen her face on the wedding day. Neither Garene nor Diovil truly knew what kind of person their son’s wife was. And their son had never shown much interest in women to begin with.

They had briefly worried—but that worry now felt like something to be ashamed of. Julietta was radiant and lively, like a flower blooming in spring, a sweet girl who naturally drew the eye.

The reason their originally planned three-day stay had stretched so long was largely because Julietta had captivated them.

Yezar listened to their words and nodded in understanding.

“Yes. Julietta is someone far too good for me. I dare to hope she won’t leave.”

Garene and Diovil noticed the smile blooming at their son’s lips. Their son, who always wore a pained expression when in love. Now, just thinking of her, he smiled with genuine happiness.
