Chapter 214: Lonely People [unedited]
I was deeply offended, so I protested to Sigren. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“Carl is truly a bad guy!”
“Yes, I know that. But Fiona, you did do some background check too…”
“I didn’t expect that he was that bad.”
“Then you should have listened when I told you not to get close to him.”
“Sigren! Put me down!”
Sigren had me draped over his shoulder like a sack. Ugh! If someone saw us like this, we’d have a lot of explaining to do.
“You cheated on me with my cousin?” Sigren sarcastically replied to my protest.
Gah, the way he said it made it sound like some crazy drama!
“If you say it like that, I have a lot to say too! You’ve done it too!”
“Me, with Carl? Are you kidding me?”
The situation became absurd. Sigren cheated on me with Carl, a beautiful man, who was also someone I cheated with… No, this wasn’t the time to indulge in useless thoughts.
“So, how did you manage to come in when Father banned you from entering Heilon mansion?”
“There’s a way for everything.”
In short, our prince had illegally entered the duchy. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“Where are we going now?”
“To your room.”
When I heard this, I couldn’t help but think, “Ahaha, of course, the reason is to put me down gently on the bed, right?”
“That’s right. I’ll also rest with you in the meantime.”
Ugh, why did that sound a bit dirty to me?
“Are you really just going to just rest and then leave?”
“No way.”
This guy was so bold for an illegal intruder!
I was so angry! Angry!
“Sigren, it’s broad daylight now!”
“It’s okay, the night will come when we’re doing it.”
Oh my god, look what he was saying.
“I’d rather you say ‘i don’t want to even see your shadow’ like I said last time!”
I shouted, recalling what I had said to him when I thought Carl was a woman. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
Then Sigren smiled crookedly, “There is no way I would say that. Besides, I don’t want your shadow to be alone.”
Ouch, Sigren’s words were unexpectedly touching, and they made me blush. I subconsciously remembered what happened last time.
“Let’s at least have good thoughts during the day.”
“I’m having nice enough thoughts, Fiona.”
After a brief struggle, we finally arrived at my room. True to his word, Sigren carefully laid me down on the bed. Of course, what happened next was the issue.
“Wait a minute, the sun hasn’t set… uhmm.”
He grabbed my chin and kissed me, silencing the words I was about to say.
“Uhmm…”
Unlike usual, this was a very passionate urgent kiss. I rolled my eyes while kissing him. Was he really angry?
Sigren took off his lips for a moment, perhaps noticing that I was thinking something else. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“Focus on me Fiona.” he lowered his head and lightly suck the area around my collarbone as if to protest.
My shoulders twitched involuntarily. It tickled, but that wasn’t the issue.
I was about to get carried away by the atmosphere, but now I calmed down. First of all, we need to talk.
“Wait a minute, Sigren. I truly don’t have those kinds of feelings for Carl. The reason I want to be friends is not out of that desire.”
“I know, of course, that’s not the reason,” he hesitated, then continued slowly, “It’s probably just kindness and guilt ingrained in your root.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. “You know, so why are you so anxious?”
That’s worrying.
“Knowing the reason is completely different from being jealous.” Sigren gently brushed my hair behind my ear. “Besides, that guy is a lonely person too.”
“Huh?”
What did that mean? If you were lonely, wouldn’t it be better to have someone by your side?
Sigren chuckled, seeing my widened eyes. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“It means that even if you don’t have any intention of doing those things, that guy Carl will.”
“So you’re saying because he is lonely he wants to be with me?”
“That’s right. You have the power to comfort a heart. Wherever you are, it would be a warm place.”
Did Sigren feel that way when he was with me? Somehow my heart was touched.
“Would Carl really feel that way about me?”
“Yeah, more than that…. He would want to be the only one for you.”
“I don’t think I’m that great.”
“That’s not true. You have no idea what you’re capable of. When you’re lonely, having someone like you by your side is incredibly comforting.”
Sigren hugged me tightly, as if afraid I might disappear at any moment.
“And Fiona, sadly, this world is full of lonely people.”
“….”
Those were very somber words. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
I quietly caressed his back.
“But you are the only one in this world,” Sigren whispered. He kissed my cheek softly, like a feather brushing against my skin. “So I won’t lose you to anyone.”
“I’m not going to anyone.”
Sigren closed my eyes and pressed our foreheads together. I could feel the warmth. It was a clear sign that someone was so close to your body.
“Well, you never know.”
Did he have so little trust in me? Suddenly there was a surged motivation in me.
I kissed his lips.
He hesitated for a moment, then responded more passionately than I expected.
As we parted to catch our breath, I suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, contraceptives.”
Sigren seemed to have a thought cross his mind for a second, and he opened the drawer next to my bed.
“….”
Surprisingly, contraceptives were inside.
Wait, I didn’t remember putting them there. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“Sigren, did you put these here?”
He chuckled. “No way. They were probably placed there by Celine, thinking of you as her granddaughter. I just opened it to be cautious.”
In my mind, I imagined Celine smiling gently, thinking, ‘Oh-ho, Miss. You should use birth control while enjoying yourself.’
Ah, was that… the thoughtful consideration of an elder?!
I was so embarrassed!
It was true that Celine was a hundred times more mature than Abel, and she probably foresaw this situation.
While I struggled with embarrassment on the bed, Sigren opened the lid of the contraceptive pill and took one.
Then he slowly began to take off his shirt.
As I admired his well-defined muscles, I casually caressed them.
Sigren flinched for a moment, then smiled as he looked at me. He kissed me again on the lips.
“….”
When I came to my senses, my dress was down to my chest. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
I caressed the area around his shoulder blades. I could feel the lumpy scar.
“It must be ugly.”
“It’s not ugly at all,” I answered firmly.
“….”
Then I felt Sigren, who remained silent, caressing my backline with his long fingers.
My heart started pounding, and I couldn’t help but let out a heavy breath. When the situation got to that point, I couldn’t even think about my embarrassment regarding Celine.
“Fiona, is it okay?”
“Yes….”
As I exhaled and answered softly, he gently supported my waist with his arms. I looked up at him through slightly moist eyes. I stretched out my arms, and Sigren obediently leaned closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes. Several faces flickered through my mind’s eyes.
Sigren was right. There must be many lonely people in this world. But I didn’t want the person I loved to feel lonely. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
“Fiona, I love you.”
“Me too.”
I hugged Sigren tightly, desperately wishing for that.
