Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

It was about 30 minutes later that Escalion visited the dinning room pon the first floor.

I was planning to just wash my body and go down, but Hazel came and held me back for no reason, so it took a lot longer than I thought.

‘Bella would be very uncomfortable if she left with him alone.’

Escalion hurried down and pushed open the dinning room door, stopping in his tracks at the sight before his eyes.

He frowned and opened his mouth.

“What on earth is this…?”

“Are you here, friend?”

Graham, with a red face, raised his glass and shouted.

And in front of him…

“…Is my foolish friend really crazy?”

Escalion let out a quiet sigh.

Graham, as if he hadn’t yet grasped the situation, raised his glass high and shouted loudly.

“You’re crazy! Did you know your wife was this good at drinking? She drank almost as much as I did!”

Escalion narrowed his eyes and placed his hand on his throbbing forehead.

He opened his eyes fiercely at Graham as he approached his wife, who was moving slowly from right to left with her eyes closed and her cheeks stained red.

“If you really give her that much, she would die.”

Graham, who finally came to his senses at the sight of his fierce eyes, quietly put down the glass he was holding.

He blinked his eyes and let out a small sigh.

“…She drank a little more than I did. Yes, I definitely drank a little.”

“Bella, are you okay? Do you want to go in and rest?”

No!

In response to Escalion’s question, Belladonna violently shook her head with her eyes still closed.

“She said she could drink more!”

“Hah… What is this…”

Escalion, looking embarrassed, held Belladonna’s shoulders and looked down at the pieces of paper lined up on the table.

“I had a little chat with your wife. She seems to be curious about you as a child, so I told her about this and that!”

“Hah….”

“I told her on behalf of how you grew up in a mercenary group and what battlefields you traveled through! Why is that stupid guy who betrayed you in the sand desert? In detail, even how you dealt with that guy…!”

Instead of answering, Escalion moved his hands to shuffle through the countless papers on her table.

[Please tell me the story of when my husband joined a mercenary group.]

[What cities have you visited with my husband?]

[Has there ever been a time when my husband was seriously injured?]

“You asked a variety of questions.”

Escalion muttered softly.

Although he had a disapproving look on his face, he didn’t think her interest in him was bad.

It’s shameful that she asked that stupid drunkard instead of me directly.

[What about my husband’s childhood?]

[Cute.]

[Lie.]

“Huh…”

From then on, perhaps because she was getting more and more drunk, the writing on the paper started to become a little blurry.

At the same time, questions became shorter and words that felt much friendlier appeared.

“Looks like those two drunkards were having fun without me.”

“Yes! It was a lot more fun than yours!”

“Then let’s send Bella in first….”

Escalion, who turned his gaze to Belladonna and was about to let her in first, stopped her when he noticed her hand and the paper lying nearest to her.

The next thing she did was to ask Graham a question, a new piece of paper that hadn’t yet been delivered to him.

“……”

Escalion’s golden eyes shined and he picked up the paper that was at her fingertips.

Immediately after confirming the contents, his face hardened.

[Who is Scarlett Layton?]

* * *

“…….”

Belladonna frowned and twisted her body.

I remember Graham repeatedly filling my glass and gulping it down with excitement, but in between, I felt dizzy and out of breath, as if it was empty.

“Are you awake?”

Belladonna’s eyes widened at the sound of Escalion’s voice coming from close to her.

W, where am I!

It seemed like it was still night, and the familiar bedroom was filled with darkness.

Escalion, who was sitting on a chair at the table away from her bed, got up from his seat and approached her.

“It’s still a long way until morning.”

“…….”

“Don’t be surprised since i brought Graham and you, who have been very drunk since early evening.”

“……”

“You keep groaning. Are you dizzy? Can i bring you some water?”

Belladonna tried to nod her head, but Escalion, who bent his back, was faster than her.

He leaned down and kissed her.

“Ahh…!”

Perhaps because I was sober, a careless voice suddenly came out.

Belladonna was startled by her own voice and closed her mouth.

Escalion crashed his lips against hers, as if he didn’t even care about her voice.

Her whole body felt hot quickly.

“There’s something I want to tell you, but I wonder if you will remember it properly when you’re drunk like this.”

“……”

After kissing her a few more times, Escalion stopped what he was doing and raised his head.

Belladonna looked up at him, soothing her lips with her regret.

Escalion’s neck moved greatly as he met Belladonna’s excited gaze.

He finally regained his senses and opened his mouth.

“I heard about your conversation with Graham at the dinning room. you asked a lot of questions about this and that. Was it fun?”

Belladonna quickly nodded her head. But her mind was already far beyond that dinning room.

“Damn, please stop looking at me like that….”

Escalion muttered softly and raised one of his hands to cover her eyes.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, he asked in a low voice.

“…Are you curious about Scarlett Layton?”

Scarlett Layton.

At the sound of the woman’s name, I felt suddenly awakened from my alcohol and sleep.

Belladonna looked up at Escalion with eyes that had suddenly changed.

“I saw the question you wrote down on the paper.”

“……”

“I didn’t know you kept it in your mind, but I was so indifferent.”

Belladonna let out a small sigh of her own.

I was both curious and afraid of the truth that he would soon open his mouth and reveal.

If Scarlett is really Escalion’s mistress, what should I do?

“Ha…..”

Frowning, Escalion let out a low sigh and ruffled hus hair.

Seeing that, Belladonna’s fear and anxiety grew and her heart pounded.

Could it be that I am forcing him to bring out a difficult truth that would be comfortable for everyone if I know about it? What if everyone gets hurt because of this, and in the end things don’t go back to how it was before?

Belladonna lifted one of her hands and held her heart, which was beginning to beat.

‘Sometimes it’s better not to know…’

She began to rationalize his thoughts.

“So, Scarlett Layton….”

“Don’t speak.”

Belladonna spat out in a very low voice.

The sound was so quiet that it barely reached him, but Escalion stopped talking immediately.

“What?”

He asked back, his golden eyes shining. Bella also said, a little louder this time, straining against her throat.

“If you don’t want to talk… So, you don’t have to do it if you don’t feel like it.”

“……”

Escalion stared at her intently instead of answering.

Belladonna, feeling burdened by his burning gaze, secretly turned her head.

“Go ahead.”

“……?”

“Anything. Say anything again.”

Escalion moved his body He made Belladonna sit on his lap.

Belladonna, who was instantly trapped between his hard chest and thick arms, blinked her eyes blankly.

Escalion lifted one of his hands and began to play with her plump lips.

“Maybe it’s because I only hear it so rarely, but it makes me crazy.”

What are you talking about suddenly…

Why did his eyes change like that again?

Belladonna, embarrassed by the sudden change in atmosphere, pursed her lips.

As she was about to speak, she found that her words didn’t come out properly.

“Oh, you don’t want to speak anymore?”

“…….”

“I know a very easy way to hear your voice.”

As Escalion raised the corner of his mouth and played with the hem of Belladonna’s skirt, he spoke.

Soon, she realized what method he was talking about and her face blushed.

“I’m sorry, but can I drink some water? I was in a bit of a hurry. I’ve been holding it in since the day before.”

“…Ye.”

Before she could even reply, her mouth was covered.

Belladonna closed her eyes as she felt the hot breath on her lips.

Her dizzying sensation rose quickly from her toes to her head. She let out a strained voice without realizing it.

Escalion bit her lower lip and smiled in satisfaction.

“Good to hear.”

* * *

It was only when the hazy dawn broke through the window that she came to her senses again.

Belladonna turned her head and glared at Escalion, who was lying sideways next to her.

“Why are you angry when you like it?”

He asked, shrugging his shoulders with a look on his face that said he really didn’t know.

Anyway, this is too severe…!

As Belladonna glared at him even more fiercely, her cheeks blushing, Escalion smiled lowly and touched her flushed cheeks.

“It looks like a very angry baby bird.”

“…….”

“Don’t be angry and go to sleep.”

he asked, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear with a gentle hand as Belladonna shook her head.

“Have you decided to shut up again?”

“……”

“Do whatever you feel like. No, this might be better. It makes my blood run cold when I think of other people hearing your voice.”

Why so much… Bellasonna turned her gaze with somber expression.

Escalion chuckled and pulled the blanket over her, covering her body thoroughly.

Belladonna wriggled around inside to find a comfortable position.

“Then it’s my turn to tell you my story. My wife told me a secret, so I share a secret too. It’s only fair, isn’t it?”

When Belladonna looked at him, moving only her eyes, Escalion opened his mouth without hesitation.

“It was eight years ago that I met Scarlett Layton.”

‘8 years….’

Belladonna lowered her gaze at the connection that was older than she thought.

It occurred to her that Scarlett and Escalion had a very deep and strong relationship compared to him and her, who had been married for just two months.

“One day, I received a letter from an unknown person. There was some brief personal information about her. She said her mother had died a few months before she contacted me and that she was living alone, moving from place to place.”

Brief personal information…? Who sent it?

Belladonna frowned and focused on his story.

“I saw something written there that i didn’t really want to believe, so i decided to go and see for myself. I thought I might feel something different if I saw it with my own eyes. How I felt when I visited and met him her the first time….”

Escalion narrowed her eyes as if recalling that time.
