When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 53
“Why does it sound so loud?”
Enrico’s gaze dropped to his wrist. His right hand, which had been still as if hesitating, slowly moved and began to take off the watch strap.
The impulsive decision born from wanting to hear Emilia’s breathing had led him to act unlike himself. The wristwatch was quickly shoved into the gap of the sofa. The steady ticking of the second hand vanished from the world.
Contrary to his earlier hesitation—fearing the silence might feel grating—the space was instantly filled with the faint, tickling sound of her breath.
“…It’s alright.”
Soon, his expression turned awkward. It felt as though that simple act had given him an unwanted certainty. Emilia’s presence, which he’d deliberately ignored, now seemed to swell uncontrollably in volume.
Rubbing his chin and the corner of his mouth slowly with his right hand, he soon covered his eyes and lowered his head. Truthfully, even during their last meal, why had her concern struck him so deeply? He used to merely wish to receive her earnest affection, but now he kept thinking he wanted to keep her by his side.
If you want her, just take her.
He wanted to think simply, yet he had also wanted to be wary of her—the one who stirred such unfamiliar feelings. But the moment she broke the silence, his hesitation became meaningless.
“…The only way I can have her is by tightening the contract.”
What could one possibly do with someone who had pushed their own parents into that contract? Someone who, despite knowing their doubts about their parents’ death, chose silence—no different from a mere bystander. From the very beginning, it had all been wrong.
“What should I do?”
His violet eyes, reminiscent of a star-filled night sky, sank deeply. His melancholic gaze lingered on her for a long while.
“Mmm….”
Just then, Emilia’s fingertips moved. Hearing her soft whimper as she tilted her head to the side, he rose from his seat.
