The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets - Chapter 147

The coachman, who received the money from Cade, made a bonfire in front of the carriage and left. He was due to return at dawn the next morning.

It seemed that Cade could hear Burke running from the Imperial Castle, but Cade lightly ignored it. It was most important for Cade to be by Abella’s side, who was anxious and about to break.

Abella said she wanted to do something fun and Cade did what she wanted.

His body temperature, which had risen, was cooled by the night breeze.

Before arriving here, the picnic bag containing the sandwich that the coachman had bought was already empty.

Abella rested her head on Cade’s bare shoulder. She’s wearing his cloak, so he doesn’t know if she’s cold. Cade, like a person who practiced swordsmanship, was not very cold.

Abella, who had been staring blankly at the bonfire, raised her head.

The stars outside the carriage were twinkling like jewels.

“It’s romantic.”

Abella muttered a little.

Cade followed Abella and raised his gaze.

“…… When you die, you become a star in the night sky. That’s what my father said…… My father must be watching over me over there, right?”

Abella muttered softly.

The stars reflected in the transparent purple eyes were shining sadly. The Duke tried to appease Abella until just before his death. When she regained her memory, she completely remembered the words the Duke had said before his death.

It was just before he stopped breathing.

The Duke made a promise to Abella, who broke down with tears.

He would be a star and he would surely watch her. He said he would never leave Abella’s side.

Abella laughed softly.

“He will.”

Cade answered. His heart was trembling with fear. As if drowning in water, panting for breath, hoping for someone’s salvation.

The thought that Abella might once again make the wrong choice, and the strange feeling, held Cade like a leash.

However, Abella pretended that she was okay, and Cade had no choice but to sympathize. Otherwise, it felt like the things that made up Abella would crumble. Cade kissed the back of Abella’s hand.

The words he wanted to say pooled and formed a well in Cade’s heart.

“Today, I went out of Timur with Enoch. I went to a crowded restaurant and no one recognized me.”

Abella muttered the words. It seemed like she was just listing her thoughts rather than having any intentions.

Cade bit his lips tightly.

Again, there were things he wanted to refute. Couldn’t she have been with him other than Enoch? He wanted to ask if it had to be Enoch, the person she had to go through hard times with. However, in the current situation, these words only mean selfishness and filthy jealousy.

Cade pressed Abella’s hand to his lips.

He wanted to feel Abella’s body temperature and shut his own mouth.

“After that, it felt like nothing had happened. It was when I went to Vincent. The tragedy of my life was so terrible that I thought the world would be miserable too, but it was not.”

Abella blinked slowly.

When she first went to Vincent, she thought it was like Timur.

Even there, people might point fingers at Abella and avoid her.

Abella did not go to live in Vincent, but because she thought she might die there.

But the people of Vincent were not interested in Abella’s misfortune, and they gave back as much as she had given them.

The fruit shop man who is kind to her, the fish market lady who distributes fish every day, and the lady at the direct sales store who brings clothes to Abella.

Besides that, many people cherished Abella.

It was then that Abella found out.

The tragedy she suffered was nothing in the world, and not everyone was just pointing fingers and blaming Abella.

It was quite impressive that she lived as a person and not as a curse.

Abella found out that there was a life like that too.

And she forgot that fact the moment she came to Timur, the memories, which she thought she would never forget, were blurred in her mind.

That was Abella’s curse. Timur’s curse that made her even erase all her happy moments.

Timur was so cruel that it wouldn’t stop until they pushed Abella into ruin, and she was shaken countless times.

However, the moment she left Timur, she experienced the intense memories of her once again. Abella was too small for the world. Her misfortune was nothing more than passing gossip to others, and she didn’t remember anyone talking about it.
