Chapter 261.2
Kasser gazed at her for a moment before he muttered out. “But you… didn’t lose your memory. If that’s the case, it’s only obvious that you couldn’t remember anything about it as you never had any memory of such in the first place.”
Eugene gave a nod while her eyes rounded with sheer astonishment. She remembered how her words had wandered off from her as she went on. In the end, she ended up getting confused by her own statement, as if her thoughts and words weren’t in sync at all. With difficulty, she swallowed the cooled tea. She felt the need to start all over again so that her narrative could sound more sensible to him. But it seemed like she had underestimated him as he already had fully grasped the whole outline of her story.
Eugene carefully studied his face. He was now deeply lost in his own thoughts in silence. On the contrary, she was growing more nervous since she couldn’t tell if his such response was a good or bad sign.
The king hadn’t had the slightest idea of what she was trying to convey when she started out by bringing up a past incident from twenty years ago. He admit, it wasn’t easy to take her by her words when she disclosed the secret of Lady Arse—possessing a natural ability which made her realize at once that the baby, although it was Jin in the flesh, returned to her wasn’t her real daughter.
He wondered if Eugene was also trying to explain how she had become distant with her mother ever since Lady Arse had fallen ill from the shock of the incident.
Still, doubts began to emerge at some point as he continued to listen to her. Although he highly doubted his suspicions, he trusted his wife, the thought of being swapped by soul alone was enough to make goosebumps erupt on his skin.
He was silent, so Eugene resorted to studying his face. As his eyes met with hers when he turned to his side, she quickly averted her gaze elsewhere and pretended as if she hadn’t been looking at him at all.
He reflected that the cup she was reaching out for was. Her eyes wavered when she realized it as well. Her such bewilderment was clear to his eyes—Eugene wore her heart on her sleeves. She was honest about her feelings without ever trying to hide it.
As far as he knows about his dear wife, that’s who Eugene really was. She was not the person to deceive anyone.
