I Was Given a Political Marriage - I Was Given a Political Marriage chapter 25

25 – The past of violets (2)

Eileen was very concerned about Xian.

The innocence of trying to save flowers by digging the soil with her tender hands.

‘It’s strange, why do you keep bothering me?’

“Eileen? You don’t play chess? Or are you already giving up~?”

“Be quiet. I’m thinking.”

Even at this moment, when the fiancée met regularly, her eyes went to Xian.

what the hell is that guy Or is this all acting?

The moment when many questions filled my head and increased confusion.

“Checkmate. Isn’t it worse than last time? My young lady needs a little more practice.”

“What? Another round. Do you think I can win this time?”

“But… Eileen can’t do it. And today is the fifth round.”

“ah…”

I thought I would definitely win today, but I was mercilessly fired.

‘I have no pride left. What am I doing?’

Why did he want to win the match against him in the first place?

Because it’s the first time you’ve tasted defeat? Or because you don’t want to lose to a man?

I have no idea. It’s just that the whole situation got mixed up and my smart head didn’t work.

“Then, you did a good job today. I think I’ll have to go back to my family soon.”

Watching the day get darker, he left and tried to leave the mansion.

‘I haven’t asked anything yet.’

Eileen, who was sad to let go now. She caught him first before he left.

“Today… why don’t you go to sleep?”

“Today? Uh, I haven’t told my family, is it okay?”

“I’ll send you a letter, so don’t worry. And the head of Laiheart will be happy if you say you’re going to stay at your fiancée’s house for a day.”

hmm. Xian pointed out that he was in trouble. Soon after, he seemed to nod his head in affirmation, as if he had come up with the personality of his mother, the family head of Raiheart.

Eileen wondered why she had grabbed him so suddenly, but felt relieved when he put the burden down again.

“Well, you’re not busy. How about taking a break?”

“I will.”

“Then, could you guide me around the mansion? Lady Eileen.”

“Sure.”

At Xian’s polite request, Eileen took his hand and slowly began to escort him.

Normally, he would have been annoying or just made an attendant, but today was different.

I wanted to know a little more. What the hell is wrong with that man?

Why did I become like this?

“I explained it last time, but I’ll explain it step by step this time too.”

“Wow~ Estes’ explanation from the eldest daughter~ I really like it.”

“First of all, this is the study. It’s a place where my mother and I often come.”

She walked slowly around the mansion, explaining all the paths she had always seen.

He listened intently to the interim explanation of walking around together and looked at something.

As we follow our gaze, we see a huge picture.

“Looks harmonious. That’s the… you said.”

“Yes, my father. I can’t see it now, but it’s a picture I left in the past.”

Xian looked at the painting carefully. Soon after, he closed his eyes and bowed politely.

Surprised by the sudden action, Eileen asked what was going on.

“What are you doing when no one is there? You don’t see anything strange, do you?”

“What are you talking about? I just thought I should do it like this.”

“hmm?”

Depending on the person, it may be regarded as an insult to the deceased. But that was all until I saw his face.

A truly innocent face that is second to none in the world. It was a face that expressed regret, not something hidden to insult someone.

‘What the hell is that face.’

Its innocence was an incomprehensible realm.

Of course, it is sad and difficult because it is the death of the father whom he loved, but why is Xian, a stranger, saddened together?

“Then, shall we go somewhere else?”

“Yeah… it is.”

Eileen continued to observe the mansion until the end.

My head hurt as if my head would burst at the growing question, but I endured it.

This pitiful situation where the question grows and the answer cannot be obtained.

Time passed slowly, and in an instant it was midnight and it was time to go to bed.

“Eileen… hehehe, but why are you sharing a room?”

“I’m good at this too. Probably, it’s clear that it’s the family head’s work.”

Eileen didn’t really want it, but she knew right away that it was the mischievous family head.

‘Do something useless again.’

Her mother, Persia Estes, must have wanted her to pay attention to men.

“I think I should sleep like this, but should I sleep on the sofa? It’s hard for women to sleep with men.”

“Hmm? Isn’t that the opposite? Men are rather uncomfortable.”

For a moment, Aileen’s head seemed to stop at the strange favor of Xian.

In common sense, what you need to be careful of is men, not women. There will be a lot of things Xian has to worry about, not himself.

“Ahahahaha, right? Then let’s just sleep in the same bed. I’m fine.”

“If you want, I won’t refuse. Sleeping on the couch makes me sore.”

So we climbed into the same bed together.

Sleeping with a man for the first time. I didn’t feel any special emotions.

‘Sniff… Is it perfume?’

For some reason, it was the same bed as usual, but it seemed to smell good.

“It’s kind of embarrassing to be here like this. I-I’m going to turn around and go to sleep… Can’t I do something weird?”

“Haa, relax and just sleep. I’m not interested in that.”

Eileen sighed and turned away, as if tired of his reaction of worrying too much.

My head hurts too, but it got better. It would be the best option to just sleep like this and move again tomorrow to solve the question.

Two people trying to sleep like that. Among them, Xian was the first to fall asleep.

“Um, uh… Please, legs. I’ll learn… hard.”

“What kind of dream is this?”

I wanted to sleep, but I was distracted by the sound of drowsy talk next to me.

While worrying, I naturally look at him who had fallen asleep beforehand.

‘Why the hell am I doing this?’

Eileen watched him sleeping from the side. I observed carefully, but there was no great harvest.

I just knew he was cuter than I thought he was.

“Ah. Wait…!”

“Mmm, it’s warm.”

While watching closely, I was surprised by his behavior when he suddenly came into my arms.

I tried to hurriedly remove it, but the bed no longer had a back and

I couldn’t escape from his grip.

“Ugh… good job.”

“ah.”

I don’t know why, but I could feel the warmth slowly flowing into his arms.

It was like hugging a warm teddy bear, so I didn’t want to push it away.

‘This wouldn’t be bad either.’

My impression of hugging a man for the first time is that it was warm and smelled good.

To express the scent, it was like a soft baguette bread baked in the oven.

‘Is the expression strange?’

It was nice, but more like a delicious smell than fragrant.

I don’t know why, but holding him made me feel at ease and I felt like I would only have good dreams.

“good night.”

tweet.

“Ah. I overslept.”

A new day started with sunny weather. When I woke up, I slept more hours than usual.

Xian was still sleeping soundly in his arms.

‘This must be busy from the morning.’

From nob le mt l. co m

Normally, I should have gotten up quickly and finished my preparations, but I was lying there doing nothing.

“Keep… Whoa, did you sleep well?”

“I think everything’s fine except for sleeping late. And you’re aware of being hugged right now, right?”

“You don’t care about each other anyway.”

Even while being held by the woman, Xian, who seemed to have no idea, was just giving up.

‘I’m engaged, but I’ll have to tell you about this later.’

At least it’s because she’s herself. If it was another woman, it would have been quite dangerous.

“As expected, Estes’ bed is much more comfortable. Haaam, it’s not like I’m sleeping, it’s like I’m flying.”

Xian, who smiled recklessly, felt cruel, but slowly got out of bed and started a new day again.

The Estes family’s morning was quite busy.

There were a lot of things to do with the basics of grooming like a family heir.

Paperwork was tiring because even if it was a little late, it would quickly fill up again.

“Aren’t you tired of doing paperwork like this all the time?”

“It’s something we’ll all do someday anyway. I’m thinking of practicing in advance.”

“I see. I said I wanted to try it, but the man told me not to.”

For some reason, there was a strange pity in his depressing expression.

Eileen works hard on her busy paperwork.

Even though her fiancé was by her side, she never gave her a single glance.

smart. In the meantime, someone knocked on the door, and a woman with blonde hair like her entered.

“Sister, I’m going to water the flowers. Will you go with me?”

“No. I’m busy today, so please work hard.”

“okay.”

As if it was already time to take care of the flowers, Eileen handled Aira’s visit skillfully.

“Then would it be all right if I help you?”

“Ah, well… if Xian helps.”

Xian laughs precociously at the word flower. Ira nodded her head with her face blushing slightly, as if she wasn’t used to the man’s smile.

‘I feel strange.’

Obviously the two had nothing to do with each other, but hearing that they were together made my heart flutter.

“Eileen, then we’ll be back.”

“don’t go.”

“Huh? What, do you have something to do?”

‘Why am I like this?’

There was obviously nothing to do, but I was surprised by the mouth that reacted first.

“No, it’s good to bring tea on the way back.”

“Okay~ Aira, let’s go quickly.”

“Yeah… keuhum, we’ll be back, unnie.”

hard. Eileen gritted her teeth feeling uncomfortable.
