Yeah, that damn necklace.

Sears recalled a set of colorful necklaces and earrings.

Gabriel, that crazy bastard gave a gift to my daughters.

The problem is that he gave both daughters accessories that looked similar.

It’s like he’s trying to put his legs on both sides!

“This dad wondered about it all the time. What the hell is up with that necklace? Why are the shapes so similar? Maybe that guy..”

If that were true, Gabriel who was a war hero didn’t matter, and he was ready to drag him into the backyard and bury him deep in the ground.

“It’s not like that!”

“It’s not?”

Seeing Sears bloody eyes, Rosé waved both her hands as if to calm him down.

“Dad, you saw it. The color of the jewels are different.”

“....I know he was very nervous and horrified in front of Hildea. But wasn’t he more friendly with you?”

“Ew, that’s creepy. You don’t get married just because you’re friendly with each other!”

Rosé, smiled and poked at the necklace around her neck, playfully.

“If Gabriel heard this, he would have rushed to fight with father.”

That tone sounds familiar enough to go too far.

Faced with Sears suspicious look, Rosé grinned and whispered.

“Anyway, I’m not the one Gabriel is looking at.”

“....Who doesn’t know that?”

Sears mumbled in a sigh. How many times did Gabriel stiffen in front of Hildea , which gave him goosebumps.

I know how quickly that damn fellow will change without Hildea in front of him!

“But your sister didn’t seem to like him very much.”

Rosériel, who closed her mouth for a while, slowly raised her finger.

“Daddy, if sister didn’t like him, I would have cut Gabriel into pieces every time he approached her.”

Ah.

The idea of the Hillington family was that Hildea was always reluctant to Gabriel.

‘That’s for sure.’

This was all the more so when he thinks about how Hildea has been hitting the family rituals that are trying to cling unnecessarily.

Rosé spat out.

“You’re a bit slow-witted, too!”

“Why did you say that so suddenly?”

“Whew, how did you date our mom? Didn’t mom confess and propose to you first?”

“.....”

It was a while later that Sears, who was still serious, asked.

“But how did you know that, Rosé?”

Rosé’s face cooled down.

Oh, my. What should I do!

I threw meaningless glances into the carriage but still couldn’t take my eyes off one place.

The end of Gabriel’s sleeve.

‘Ah. You wore it.’

This was because of the elegant-shaped cufflinks clearly attached.

My fingertips somehow heated up when I saw a cuff button that was the same color as his eyes.

‘It’s weird. What’s wrong with me?’

My face was hot and I felt like running away right now.

It also bothered me that we both were wearing the things we gave to each other as gifts.

‘I shouldn’t have worn this necklace.’

Rosé and the maids around me were frozen by the strong insistence.

‘It was weird seeing that. I wonder why Rosé was so desperate for me to wear this necklace.. ?’

I narrowed my eyes.

Could it be that Rosé made a bet with anyone?

Knowing Rosé so well, swallowing up the worries that arose immediately, I chewed the flesh inside my mouth in the awkward air of the carriage.

‘But even though I was nervous, why is Gabriel so quiet?’

I couldn’t hear anything from Gabriel’s side either. Will it be alright to say that it feels like I’m being careful even with my breathing?

Of course it would be an illusion.

Just because he’s with me doesn’t mean I can’t breathe properly.

‘Should I say something?’

Or would it be better to just keep going like this?

‘Maybe Gabriel doesn’t want to talk to me.’

I desperately try to avert my gaze so as not to even make eye contact, but he spoke as if he had read my mind, which I had been thinking about.

“The gift you sent in return, I really liked it.”

“Cough!”

I was so surprised that I coughed.

“....Are you all right?”

A slow and solemn voice

‘Oh, no.’

I denied it right away.

No way.

He can’t be looking at my face in the window. If you want to look at my face, you can look at me as much as you want.

‘But.. .. .’

It was very strange.

‘Ugh.’

It must be my mistake, but I don’t know why my face is so hot.

And I couldn’t understand why my heart was beating so violently.

Worried that my face would turn red like this, I bit my lips like a habit, but his fingers jumped out as if hesitating.

Suddenly, we both raised our heads again, and this time, our eyes met.

He was gently putting his finger to my lips. His finger tapped my lips.

“The lips.”

“Oh, yes, yes?”

“You are biting your lip.”

“That.. .. .”

What do I say?

I can’t say it’s because I’m nervous at this moment with you.

I shut my mouth like a honey bear, and my face stiffened.

“Hildea, ....I’m sorry if it bothered you that I came here with the cufflinks, but..”

I was taken aback.

‘It’s not like that.’

In fact, in this situation, it was me who had to apologize first because of Rosé, but I seem to make it more awkward.

It was when I tried to speak while waving my hands quickly. His voice followed. Gabriel’s words were not finished.

“But I wanted to wear it.”

A firm voice

“..The cuff button I gave you?”

“Yes.”

What the hell, why?

“ But it doesn’t even contain any congratulatory words.”

I couldn’t think properly.

Because my damn mouth was spitting nonsense, and I felt like running out of the wagon.

Why am I suddenly saying about congratulatory words!

“Congratulatory words.”

“....I heard that there are things that contain congratulatory words. I found out recently only , but it happens to be something that can contain a blessing.”

“I see.”

“If you want to know more, I think it would be good to talk about it later.”

Later, when you become lovers with Rosé.

“Then..”

“Yes?”

“Do you want something with congratulatory words, too, Young-ae?”

For some reason, Gabriel’s gaze seemed to glance at the necklace I was wearing.

Is that so? Without realizing it, I was tampering with the jewelry on the necklace meaninglessly.

“I, not so much.”

“.. .. Are you not interested?”

Then I suddenly woke up as if I had been stabbed by a thorn. Why are we having a friendly conversation?

It wasn’t like Gabriel as usual.

Doubt pushed my head.

Perhaps.. .. .

“Gabriel, has Rose ever asked you for anything because of me?”

“Yes?”

For example, a request to take good care of her older sister.

Yes, that would be correct. If not, this situation now cannot be explained.

It was as if cold water was poured over her head.

The heartbeat, which had been accelerating due to the unknown heat, returned to its own pace.

‘I see.’

For a moment, Gabriel’s eyes were clearly seen shaking. My heart sank for a moment.

It was too.

I asked in a very cynical voice. I was strangely heartbroken even though I knew he had done nothing wrong.

“Are you going to ask me for the first dance?”

“Hill, I..”

“I am sorry Duke, but I will politely decline that kind of consideration if you ever wanted to.”

“Why?”

“Rosé will not dance if possible.”

Gabriel stopped what he was trying to say when I said in a voice that was quite cold even for me to hear.

I really didn’t plan on doing my first dance.

Rosé was joking, but it was very likely that she won’t dance, and if so, I was going to do the same.

If only I dance and Rosé doesn’t dance, then rumours will come out.

With that thought in mind, I looked at Gabriel, and for a moment blinked to see if what I was seeing was correct.

‘Huh? Right now?’

No wonder.

Somehow, it seemed like he had a very gloomy expression on his face right now.
