Forgotten Juliet - Chapter 90
“How could this happen….”
Lennox flinched at the whisper that flowed out like a sigh.
A trembling hand gently grasped his cheek.
Suppressing the urge to immediately stop the hand from moving, he held his breath.
It was a strange feeling to have someone else’s hand touch his face when he was on edge.
Lennox Carlyle disliked anyone touching his body. This had been a habit he developed from the days he roamed the battlefield long ago.
There are thirty-nine vital points on a person’s head, and even an untrained person can easily take another’s life by accurately hitting just sixteen of them.
Pushing away someone touching him was easier than breaking a child’s wrist.
But then…
The touch on him was so enchantingly miserable, he couldn’t push it away.
“Juliet.”
He pleaded in a dangerously low voice.
“Please.”
“…”
“Please… stop crying.”
Without even looking, he could tell the expression of the woman before him.
Juliet rarely cried in front of him.
That’s why he didn’t know how to comfort a crying woman.
He felt he could do anything to make her stop right now.
The being he desperately wanted back over the past month was in his arms, yet… she kept crying.
Out of pity for him.
That fact brought him down.
‘You’re pathetic, Lennox Carlyle.’
This was the woman who abandoned him without a second thought, even when he could see.
Now knowing he was blind, Juliet must be feeling guilty.
Then she would pity him, and then….
He clenched his teeth in silence.
What’s next?
“Damn it. Did someone die?”
“I’m not crying.”
She replied weakly after he spat out his words.
It was an obvious lie, one even a child wouldn’t believe.
* * *
Juliet knew how much he hated crying women.
Their relationship had always been conditional on not annoying him, so she just shed tears silently.
“Juliet.”
But it seemed she was mistaken.
“I told you not to cry.”
It was unclear whether he was threatening or pleading.
Normally, she would have just walked away, but now she couldn’t.
Quickly, Juliet wiped her cheeks.
There was more to say.
“Lennox…”
If it hadn’t been for the noise outside the door.
Bang!
The next moment, Juliet pushed him away and got up.
