“Do you mean you’re looking for another man?”

“No, why are you talking about that?”

Vivian, who was surprised and stopped breathing, replied in an absurd voice, “Even if it happens, it will be later…”

“I don’t think there is any other man who can satisfy your body to this extent. Do you?”

It was a great deal of confidence. She doesn’t know why he was suddenly full of confidence at this point.

Of course not. She doesn’t think she’ll be able to find the next person as good as the current one.

Vivian thought so, because if Aiden was any more confident he’d be unlucky.

“I’m the only one who can satisfy your body this much.”

“……”

Aiden stared at Vivian for a moment, perhaps speechless. It was ridiculous, but she couldn’t think of anything to refute because it was true.

“Don’t cloud the issue. Why are you talking about another man here?”

Vivian walked over to him and squatted down in front of his bed. Then she placed her hand on top of the one that was clutching at the blanket.

As the small, tender warmth sank on the back of his hand, Aiden erased the hideous look and flinched. Purple eyes like a round puppy were staring up at him. However, unlike lovely expressions and lovely eyes, the cute words spewed out were nothing but a dagger.

“Grand Duke, you said that as if you don’t want to have a serious relationship.”

“…I didn’t say that.”

“You said you wouldn’t tolerate anything but unhealthy love.”

“I think my memory is very distorted.”

Aiden was a bit upset. Even the title had changed from the pet name of Ray to the Grand Duke, which created a sharp sense of distance.

He felt like he had to say something, but he couldn’t bring it up as if he was choking. She expressed her discomfort with only her innocent forehead crumpled.

But for a while, too, he suddenly curled his eyes into a crescent shape with a pretentious smile. Still, with a note of poignancy intact. There was a deep smell of blood in the blue gaze. It was a beastly laugh, overturned by the mask of a nobleman.

“Do you have someone you like?”

It felt like his skin was stinging from the flesh that had melted in the air. He was eager to find out and kill him if there was one.

“I haven’t met anyone, so how would it happen?”

“Well, aren’t you satisfied with me?”

“I’m not the type to spend the night with anyone because I want to have sex.”

“How do you know that? You’ve been bound by your vow of chastity.”

Vivian was speechless for a moment. Look at this guy?

“I’m not crazy about sex. I don’t know if you’re crazy about novels.”

“You mean you do everything for a novel, sex or anything.”

The look on his face seemed to believe she could do anything for the novel. He’s sure that’s true to a certain extent.

“I’m not crazy enough to do anything! I think you’re mistaken, but the reason why I insisted on asking you to have sex was because His Highness the Grand Duke kept avoiding me, so I thought I was unattractive…”

It’s Ray, not any other man.

No, why am I making this excuse? Vivian felt questioned and asked back at herself while speaking. Didn’t she almost say that she would really like him?

This was all because Aiden suddenly brought up another man.

What do you mean by another man? Come to think of it, did he say something like that while they were in the middle of sex, in bathroom?

When she looked back on why that was said, when she came at him to have sex, she seemed to have brought up that she would meet another man if he kept avoiding her in anger. Of course, it was just an intention of provocation, and she didn’t mean it at all.

“……”

But he seemed to be mistaken that she would go to anyone and seduce and spread her legs for the novel. Vivian, whose view was warped, began to twist his words further.

She felt bad about that illusion, but most of all, Aiden suddenly acted like a possessive lover.

He’s not going to love her anyway, he saw her as a mean girl and has no intention of getting serious, but if he showed such behaviour, she would be mistaken. Just in case he was jealous because he liked her, and it was her who ended up suffering from such ridiculous expectations.
