Forgotten Juliet - Chapter 71
“That’s a look of utter annoyance.”
Lennox opened his mouth leisurely as he observed Juliet nervously adjusting her dress.
“…”
Juliet didn’t respond.
However, Lennox didn’t look hurt at all. Instead, he shrugged casually.
Juliet couldn’t understand why he had shown up now.
She thought, he hated being bothered the most in the world.
‘Surely, he was annoyed with me before…’
Then she suddenly remembered one fact he might still be misunderstanding.
“Ah, I see.”
Juliet let out a deep sigh.
“Yes. I lied about being pregnant because I hated Your Highness.”
“…”
“That’s enough? I’m not pregnant.”
At that, he didn’t respond.
Instead, from his half-reclined position, he rose, turned Juliet to face him as if half-embracing her from behind.
“Juliet.”
“…Why?”
Internally, Juliet was a bit frightened. Although she had acted impulsively, she had deceived him and ran away.
And he had crossed the continent, enraged by her lie.
She thought he had every right to be angry. However, Lennox was surprisingly calm.
Instead of getting angry, he bent slightly to meet Juliet’s eyes and asked seriously:
“Did I ever tell you not to have a child?”
“…”
For a moment, Juliet was at a loss for words.
“There are no ‘ifs’.”
“Even if you become pregnant, I won’t allow you to give birth.”
“Juliet?”
Technically, he hadn’t said those words yet.
Juliet clenched the hem of her dress, recalling the voice she had heard before her regression.
She remembered everything clearly.
Especially all the events from the year she died.
For a brief moment, she had been hopeful about having a child.
She remembered everything he had said and done at that time.
“You thought hiding it from me would solve everything?”
“It would be troublesome if you’re mistaken, Juliet Monad.”
“Juliet!”
Snapping back to the present, Juliet found Lennox’s face dangerously close to hers.
“Excuse me…”
Hastily, Juliet adjusted her dress.
“I’ll be going now.”
Clutching the crumpled hem of her dress, she almost ran out of the Rose Maze Garden.
“Did I ever tell you not to have a child?“
Why would he ask that? He probably wouldn’t want one anyway.
Juliet bit her lip. She didn’t want the ‘permission’ to have a child.
