The Male Lead’s Father Refuses to Break Off Our Engagement

Chapter 126

 

Before she knew it, Cassis had moved his body and was on top of Evelia. His kisses became more intense. Evelia responded by wrapping her arms around Cassis’ neck.

Cassis’ lips passed Evelia’s lips and moved down a little further. I felt a hot breath on the sensitive nape of my neck. Evelia lightly grabbed his hair and her shoulders trembled.

Cassis ran down her slightly lifted spine. Evelia let out a deep sigh without realizing it. Suddenly, what Cassis said in the Kingdom of Cesia came to mind.

 

-When we return to the Empire, I want to spend the night with you, wife.

Does Cassis want me? I didn’t hate it. Rather, she was happy that he wanted her so passionately.

Because she wanted him too.

However, Cassis, who was gradually descending, raised his head again and loudly kissed her forehead.

“I hope you have a good night.”

With that last greeting, he got off her body and lay down again. Evelia thought seriously as she looked at his back as he turned away from me.

‘It’s really strange.’

When he said he wanted to spend the night together, Cassis had seemed like the kind of man who would have her all to himself as soon as he returned to the Empire.

But now he seemed like a different person. They have similar feelings for each other, and there is nothing standing between them anymore, so why is Cassis hesitating?

Could it be that this is the boredom that comes to couples?

However, Evelia could not bear to ask Cassis anything.

Following Cassis, Ruth also became strange. The two spent more time alone, as if they were planning something.

‘Of course, it’s good that their relationship seems to have improved, but…’

To be honest, I felt a little left out. This is because when Evelia approached the two people whispering something, Ruth kept his mouth shut as if he had never done that before. Cassis, well, I didn’t expect him to tell me.

It wasn’t just the two people. The entire mansion strangely seemed to run without her.

Annie and other employees were busy, but no one told Evelia what they were doing.

A week has already passed like that.

‘Why?’

I was happy to hear that I had a family, but what has changed?

It was a time when Evelia was just sighing in frustration.

“Madam.”

Annie came into the room accompanied by other maids.

“What’s happen?”

“I’ll change your clothes.”

“Clothes? Suddenly? I don’t even go out?”

Annie and the maids looked at each other and smiled meaningfully. Evelia tilted her head while looking at them suspiciously, and Annie answered.

“The master said he would like to have dinner with Madam.”

“Cassis?”

“Yes!”

For your information, Cassis woke up early this morning and went out.

‘Are we going on a date because you’re sorry for neglecting me all this time?’

Evelia was a little excited and dressed up with the help of the maids. Annie and the maids were more excited than usual and moved around busily.

Evelia, who had spent longer than usual doing her makeup and hair and even changing her dress, looked at the mirror and tilted her head.

‘Somehow it looks like a wedding dress.’

It was a dress I had never seen before. When I heard it, it was a gift that Cassis had prepared for me.

The problem was that the white dress, which was softly sparkling as if sprinkled with pearl powder from head to toe, looked like a wedding dress. It was so extravagant that it was even more dazzling than what Evelia actually wore at her wedding a year ago.

The good news was that the skirt was designed to fit tightly to the body, making it easy to move around.

“Are you sure this is right?”

Evelia looked at the maids with a suspicious look, but they just smiled silently.

Evelia thought it was strange, but got into the carriage. Of course, the carriage, which was expected to go to the downtown area of the capital, was headed to the front of Great Hall.

‘Why am I here…?’

While Evelia was wondering, the door opened and Cassis appeared. He had his hair, which was usually naturally disheveled, neatly tucked behind his forehead. Her clothes were as white as Evelia’s.

‘No way….’

At that moment, an assumption occurred to Evelia’s mind. Then my heart started pounding. However, she didn’t show it and got off the carriage with Cassis escorting her.

And then.

“Mom!”

Ruth, who she thought was at the mansion, ran and stood in front of her.

“Sister!”

Aria ran up behind Ruth and smiled brightly.

The two children were also wearing white robes and dresses. Ruth handed the bouquet he was holding to Evelia.

“Take this!”

Then he laughed, “Hehe.”

Now it was impossible not to notice. In the meantime, Cassis had prepared…

“Are you really going to have a wedding again?”

As Evelia asked cautiously, Cassis smiled faintly. It meant positivity.

“Suddenly? We already…”

Cassis whispered softly in the ear of a stunned Evelia.

“Wasn’t last year’s contract marriage? I wanted to have a real wedding again with my wife.”

‘A real wedding.’

The resonance of that word was special. Evelia felt like she was going to cry already, so she took a deep breath through her nose.

Cassis seemed to have read her thoughts and gently rubbed the back of her hand as if to stop her from crying.

Meanwhile, Annie, who followed in another carriage, placed a veil on Evelia’s head.

Cassis looked at Evelia as if he was fascinated and held out her right hand.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Ruth and Aria, who were looking at the two people, each carried a basket and ran into the main temple. Then, as Evelia and Cassis entered, they sprinkled the pollen contained in the basket high into the air.

Evelia looked around. I saw several people I had become friends with in social circles over the past year, including the Marchioness Evans and Anthony.

Although it may seem strange for two people to have a wedding after only one year, they seemed to be sincerely congratulating them. In particular, the Marchioness Evans loved it as if it were her own work.

Evelia whispered as she walked away holding Cassis’ hand.

“I didn’t know. All this time, I thought you were avoiding me…”

Thinking about how I had suffered alone all this time, I felt a little sad. Cassis said as if making excuses.

“I’m sorry. I prepare it in secret… I feel like I’ll tell you everything when I see your face.”

“No. It’s okay.”

Evelia smiled and held his hand tighter.

The High Priestess would officiate. Is it because we went through hardships together in the Kingdom of Cesia? He looked at Evelia and Cassis with a happy face, and then began to read the officiating address with a solemn look.

“So do you two pledge to continue to love each other in the future?”

“Yes.”

“I swear.”

“I declare in the name of God that from this moment on, the two of you have become a husband and wife.”

As soon as the high priest made the announcement, cheers and applause erupted from the guests who were watching.

In particular, Aria, who was sitting in the front, cupped her cheeks and shouted.

“Ahh! Kiss!”

If Samuel, who was absent today, had heard, he would have said, ‘Aria, please…’ he said, pointing to his forehead.

Evelia burst out laughing at Aria’s cute words, and Cassis slightly lifted the veil covering her face with a serious expression.

He slowly lowered his head and kissed her. At the same time, the bell rang loudly.

Cassis and Evelia laughed at the same time with their lips pressed together.

Although it was smaller than a year ago, it was a much happier and warmer wedding.

 

*****

 

After finishing a simple dinner with the guests, Evelia returned to the room.

While getting ready for bed with Annie’s help, Evelia took several deep breaths to calm her racing heart. But the heart did not slow down.

As if they knew how she felt, the maids decorated her quietly but with a cheerful face.

They dressed her in flashier, slightly more revealing pajamas than usual, and applied perfume to my body to make it smell good. It was more tempting than preparing for the first night a year ago.

‘This is so…’

After the maids left, Evelia swallowed as she looked at the nightgown that slightly showed her white legs.

A click was heard as the door opened, and Cassis came inside. He walked inside carefully and stopped when he found Evelia sitting by the bed.
