Chapter 49
People’s minds are truly strange.
I was just about to do something, but when someone else mentions it, I suddenly don’t feel like doing it anymore.
For example, if I was planning to organize some documents, but my boss said, “You should sort out those papers,” I’d suddenly feel the urge to do something else first.
In my past life, I had no choice but to bow my head and do whatever was required of me. But now... that wasn’t the case.
“Well... I suppose we can’t just leave him standing.”
As I spoke, I reached for an empty chair. It was the one opposite the chair Lukas was perched on.
The moment I grabbed the chair, Jacob, who had been smiling with satisfaction, widened his eyes slightly.
“Aiden, sit here.”
Aiden blinked. Jacob blinked. Lukas, who had turned his head, also blinked.
Following the trend, I blinked too.
“My lady, are you telling me to dine at the same table as a servant?”
The easygoing smile vanished from Jacob’s face. His blue eyes, now laced with displeasure, turned to me—only to widen in shock when our eyes met. Hastily, he forced a smile again.
