Chapter 47: 24.2

24. Unknown Anxiety (2)

She turned her head and stared in the direction where Joshua had disappeared.

Yet, Sohee didn’t see any sign of him coming out.

Hugh also glanced at the place where Ariad was looking at.

As their heads turned together, she blushed and avoided his gaze once their faces were near enough to kiss.

“Well, Hugh. I have a favor to ask you.”

“Yes! Yes! Just say anything, and I’ll do it.”

“You should go.”

“What?”

“Hurry up and go somewhere else.”

Hugh Carlywood was an extra, so shouldn’t she care if he died?

That sounded rather funny.

She changed her mind in a short time.

She wasn’t that crazy to use someone who looked exactly like her favorite actor and drive him to the wall.

If this Hugh was just a trashy character who was only crazy about Ariad’s body, then her guilt would be less.

Mesmerized by her firm tone, Hugh gave her a blank stare.

“Please, Hugh. Please wake up quickly and stay away from me.”

‘Cutie, this is the end of our relationship. It’s sad, but I have to let you go.’

She bade him goodbye at the corner of her lonely heart and she felt rather sentimental.

The man sat upright and never showed signs of getting up.

“Why are you telling me to go, My Lady?”

A loud noise struck inside the hall as tears streamed down his cheeks.

She glanced at where it came from and saw a large crowd gathering around Joshua.

So-hee felt more urgent when the blade-like tip of his jaw slowly turned to this side.

“Please listen to me!” She pushed the man sitting next to her with one hand.

Hugh’s body was reeling when he slowly became alert.

“You’re pushing me away again!” He said sadly.

“No. I’m not pushing you away! I’m saving you!”

She pushed him as hard as she could, forcing him to stand.

Then, Hugh turned his back and walked away from her.

So-hee watched his woeful back and uttered her final greeting. “I’m sorry for doing this. For a second, you made me happy with your presence.”

She felt relieved seeing Hugh disappear through the crowd.

Then, she turned her head toward Joshua again.

He was walking towards her, his eyes completely fixed.

He didn’t see him, didn’t he?

Hugh didn’t do anything to get himself stabbed, but her heart felt cold for some reason.

“Sorry, I’m a little late.”

Joshua sat where Hugh Carlywood was sitting earlier.

He drank the glass on the table and turned his head to stared at her.

“So, did you see a lot of people?”

“Yes, I did.”

The crown prince searched her face.

Sohee’s potential informant might have disappeared, but her only consolation was that nothing bad had happened to him.

As she wallowed in regret, a thumb and forefinger held a macaroon in front of her face.

“Why didn’t you eat anything, Ariad?”

“Oh, I forgot.”

She took the macaroon in her mouth and chewed but she choked up instead.

Did she swallow it without munching properly?

The man sitting next to her didn’t say anything as if he was in deep contemplation.

Joshua’s pupils grew bigger when Sohee drank from the champagne glass to get rid of the food stuck in her throat.

He raised his hand immediately to snatch her drink.

“What is it?”

When she tilted her head, Sohee felt heat coming down her throat.

“Ariad, this is alcohol.”

“Really? Who cares, anyway? I’m a good drinker.”

She was good at pouring from the bottle, as well.

“But you can’t drink.”

“What?”

“You can’t drink.”

She was puzzled.

Why would he say she couldn’t when she could?

She tried to pull her drink away from his hand, but his firm grip wouldn’t budge.

“What’s wrong with you, Joshua?”

Joshua snatched the glass successfully.

“Ariad. You drank vodka in the past, thinking it was water. You even fell at the ceremony.”

“What?”

Was an event written without the author’s knowledge?

Suddenly, she felt molten heat starting from her neck down to her body as her vision blurred.

She couldn’t believe she had taken a sip of this.

This embarrassing moment forced her to hold onto her mind.

Joshua stared at her still and spoke. “You woke up drunk and got mad at the maidservants. You demanded, ‘Who put the vodka there?’ Don’t you remember?”

“Oh. Yes. Yes. I remember.” She covered her lies with a silly laugh. “Haha.”

Joshua brought his beautiful face near hers as So-hee felt the heat even more.

The corner of his lips curled into a smirk. “It’s a lie.”

“What?”

“You weren’t drunk and angry.”

What kind of guy is he?

The corners of her mouth trembled as she forced herself to smile.

On the other hand, Joshua seemed relaxed.

Chagrined, Sohee began to say anything that came to mind.

“I lost my memory when I hit my head in the past. Haha. I’m going back and forth now.”

The man’s face began to blur from the alcohol’s influence.

Also, her vision made Joshua’s smile twist into a sneer.

She had no idea what was going on.

Joshua hugged her when her upper body wobbled a bit.

Feeling dizzy, she buried her head on his shoulder.

Strange anxiety crawled over her as she smelled the mint in his masculine scent.
