Chapter 55: Pathetic
Evelyn, seeing her "fiancé’s" indifference, felt her blood boil with rage. Never in her life had she been so ignored.
Isn’t he supposed to scream with rage when he sees me with his brother? All that look of firmness and confidence he gave me in the garden... was it an act?
Evelyn was conflicted; it was the first time she had ever felt that way. Kael was supposed to explode with rage when he saw her, and then, with a few sweet words, she would calm him down. That way, she could train him like a dog.
However, all she received was indifference. It was as if he wasn’t looking at her as a woman, but as a piece of rotten meat. She couldn’t accept that; her pride wouldn’t allow it.
Me, Evelyn Blossom, the most desired flower among all the young nobles of the kingdom of Aragon, being ignored like this? Unacceptable!
Separating herself from Jasper, she approached Kael. Standing in front of him, arms crossed and her expression twisted with rage, she spoke:
"Why don’t you say anything? Don’t you care that your fiancée is hugging another man? You’re pathetic." Her voice dripped with pure disgust.
Kael looked up from his book and glanced indifferently at Evelyn. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes; they were as empty as an ancient pond. But inside, he couldn’t help laughing, amused by the woman’s hypocrisy.
When she’s the wrong one, she calls me pathetic? How rotten is Evelyn’s brain to distort everything like that?
I don’t know why I ever liked a woman like that in my past life, when she’s more rotten than a corpse.
Kael couldn’t believe how blind he had been in his past life. To accept all the whims of this woman who never loved him.
