An oddly irritating tone mercilessly tore at Liurian’s ears. The brow hidden under his arm furrowed, and he muttered softly.
“Just shut your mouth.”
It had been noisy enough as it was, because of Evelia.
Blocking everyone else out so gently and then showing only a cold face to himself, her face had lingered as an afterimage all day and had not disappeared.
He thought in his head that she could well feel that way, but his heart did not understand. No, he didn’t want to understand.
How could he understand her blocking others with that tight face?
Liurian sighed heavily.
The sound, barely more than a breath, resembled the growling of a ferocious beast. It was so intimidating that it could kill the other’s spirit in an instant.
But Felix just shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
“I warned you, didn’t I? I said it might be best not to see your rain for a while.”
Saying so, Felix stretched his arm across the table, supporting his elbow.
He spat it out, knowing that it would irritate Liurian. As expected, Liurian jumped up from his seat.
It was the reaction he had been waiting for.
“Is my word, not like a word?”
A vile look poured out between his fiercely raised eyes. The vitality that erupted in an instant seemed like it would strangle his throat at once.
Nevertheless, Felix did not erase the smile on his lips. He looked at Liurian as if he found it even more interesting.
“Well, it seems like you’re the one who doesn’t take words as words?”
“Why the hell should I listen to the likes of you?”
Liurian’s brow furrowed hysterically.
Felix’s eyebrows flicked up. It was unexpected. Although he was well aware that his condition was not normal, this was the first time he had seen him so emotionally driven.
Who was he? He was a coolheaded figure who didn’t blink an eye, even when hundreds or thousands were dying on the battlefield. He was a man who never showed fear, even when facing his own dormant true self.
But now he was so shaken by a woman?
Felix’s lips curled upward, more intrigued.
“Weren’t you the one who first asked for my help?”
“And soon after, I clearly told you that I don’t need your help.”
“My interest was piqued too much by then to do as you said. Of course, I like you quite a bit, too.”
Felix countered Liurian’s words without missing a beat.
Liurian’s eyes became more ferocious. As if used to this reaction from Felix, he stubbornly shut his mouth.
He got up completely from the bed, seeming to head out of the bedroom, avoiding Felix.
Felix hastily added.
“Evelia is a much more delicate woman than you think. Your sudden change in attitude will only cause her confusion. My advice to not see her for a while was sincere.”
“Shut up. What do you know about Evelia that you’re spouting off like that?”
“At least it seems I know more about her than you do?”
“I’ve seen her countless times over the years!”
“But you didn’t notice that she’s an overly delicate woman.”
Liurian Petrov clenched his mouth tightly at Felix’s unbroken words.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t noticed that she was delicate. He knew. But knowing, all he could do was cruelly scold.
Liurian stubbornly stared at Felix and hastily set off. He didn’t want to talk to Felix anymore.
“Don’t run into her for a while. Give her some time as well.”
Felix’s voice came from behind him, but Liurian did not slow his steps towards the bedroom door, not forgetting the message that was nothing less than a final warning.
“Evelia is my secret. So stop your intrusive meddling, Felix.”
It was a cold, emotionless voice, but it was the best consideration he could show to Felix.
Liurian added speed to his steps without even thinking about hearing Felix’s response.
Then Felix’s voice, tinged with amusement, cut through Liurian’s last patience without mercy.
“Oh, it seems like you’re gravely mistaken.”
“…….”
“To be precise, Evelia is Liurian Petrov’s secret, not yours.”
