The Obsessive Male Lead Wants To Become My Husband

Chapter 15

“Lady, please turn your head slightly to the left. Yes, that is perfect.”

To be honest, what the maid exclaimed over and over was none of my business.

I really hope this all ends soon.

“What kind of earrings would you like? What do you think about this? Or, this? The sapphire will go well with your blue eyes…”

“Do whatever you want.”

I continued bluntly. “It is better for you guys to do it all yourself. Don’t you guys know a lot better than I do?”

​​“Still, your taste is important.”

Another maid tried hard to appease me, but obviously, it was not enough. I wiggled my fingers and toes hard. Right now, those were the only two things I could freely move.

“Anything is fine, so just release me quickly…”

“Please just wait another ten minutes.”

“Lies.”

As expected, the three maids only let me go after an hour.

“….!”

My appearance seemed to be a success in its own way, predicting from the maids’ facial expressions.

“Lady, look over here!”

A maid pointed a mirror at me.

“That is enough.”

I cut the conversation short.

“I heard Lord Cassius was waiting for me. Lead me to the drawing room.”

When I finally opened the drawing room door, Cassius Brudenell, leaning against the furniture in a languid and alluring posture, caught my eyes.

His eyes widened as he opened his mouth.

“…Evelyn?”

I did not answer.

Because I am in a position where my parents semi-forced me, so at least, I wanted him to know that I never liked this.

However, the next moment, I could not keep my silence.

“You are so beautiful.”

Hearing that, I stared intently at Cassius in amazement.

“What… I beg your pardon?”

Evelyn Garneid was, by no means, ugly.

In fact, she even appeared to be a shrewd beauty.

Although knowing that Cassius’ obsession was Ophelia, his words only sounded like teasing. Besides, Cassius did not answer my question.

Instead, he strode towards me.

“Wh—what are you doing?”

My voice rose by itself as I slowly took a step back.

Whatever was in his head, I refused to get close to the physical distance. All the more so considering what happened at our first meeting.

“Evelyn.”

Cassius called me again in a soft voice.

“I just wanted to pay tribute to your beauty.”

“What…”

No matter how much I stepped backward, there was not much room to escape from the closed room. Before I knew it, Cassius came close enough that I could hear the sound of his breathing.

And, he…

“….!”

He grabbed my right hand and lightly kissed the back of my hand.
