Chapter 63.1

In fact, today was supposed to be a polite no.

When I don’t know anything, I always joke around. I am full of the determination to date, marry, and love a man other than Gerald.

I realized how easy it was to find the right person for me.

But fatefully, I managed to deduce the truth of the past and how it was related to me, and to Gerald.

The sudden outburst of voices and different perspectives proved that it was true.

How can I turn a blind eye to him in such a situation?

He said I was the only one he chose in his three lives. It was not easy for me to abandon Gerald. I loved him too much in my past life.

To the point where the lingering emotions are still hanging on to me, my lips were chapped, and my legs trembled automatically.

It might have been easy to talk about if Brenti was a bad guy, but at this moment, he did not meet my standards. But that was not it.

I was worried about how I would be able to gently discourage him from the false intentions I had already led him on to.

If he came here and applied for after-sales service, that meant that he liked me.

“Whoo….”

Maybe it’s all because he’s handsome and I’m pretty.

My mom raised me so well. I gave myself a pat on the cheek. Good job growing up, Louella.

Ha. Whatever it is, I can’t get rid of the slight tension.

So far, dating has been nothing more than a ‘trivial thing.’ I just met him several times and turned my back on him, leaving him hanging.

But this time, I think I was supposed to refuse in the first place? I had never done this before.

I felt uncomfortable the whole time.

Brenti was standing in front of the fountain waiting for me. It was cold, but the fountain in the square always spewed water nonstop.

As if a magical power was performed, the drops of water sparkled in the sun, and Brenti, who was standing in front of it, was also laughing his heart out.

Brenti’s face was directed at the children running down the street. The weather was not that cold, so the children ran around without any problems.

Brenti turned his head to me. “Louella.”

He had a smile that expressed his happiness as his gaze met mine.

“Brenti.”

“You really came out, Louella.”

“Because I promised, I can’t just say yes and not come out, right?” I joked and he laughed.

Brenti held out his arms to me naturally. And his dark brown eyes were looking at me so sweetly. Just like I felt the other day.

Maybe Brenti will be a good person for me. What if I choose Brenti to love and date? And if I get married. There is a high probability that he will treat me well and make me a good husband.

It was a goal that I had hoped for in this life.

But then…

Don’t meet him. The voice that had a little bit of a cry reminded me, “Lulu.”

His words were holding me back.

Oh, really…

He was the only drug the world allowed me.

“How’s the food, Louella? They said that it’s the most famous restaurant around here. It was recommended by my friends.”

“Ooh. The food was delicious. I’ve always wanted to come here.” I smiled shyly with my cheeks red. Ugh… It’s so bright here.

“I’m so glad you like it, Louella. Actually, I wanted to comfort you. No, should I congratulate you?” Brenti looked awkward.

“I’ve heard about the bad news that happened with the duke. I wanted to comfort you and give you strength. But I don’t have any justification for that.” Brenti’s eyes were looking at me, with his gaze firm.

It was exactly what I felt. Still, I had an eye for people in my own way, maybe because I already lived my second life now.

Brenti is a warm and nice man, the crown prince is a bitter and dangerous man, and Gerald… is an affectionate and unfortunate person

Anyway, Brenti was a man full of warmth.

“And now that it’s all over, I’m able to stand in front of Lady Louella. I know we’re not on anything yet. And yet I was upset and sorry.”

“Brenti, I…”

“So, Louella. I’m here today to tell you that I’d like to meet you officially.”

Brenti was straightforward and his words defined his intentions. I felt suffocated.

“You don’t know what kind of person I am.”

“That’s why I want to get to know you, Louella. I felt that you were warm and—” Brenti kept on singing praises about me with no hesitation.

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
