It was because Yuri threatened that she could not leave until she finished her meal. She was much thinner than before.
Abella fiddled with her own wrist.
âIt doesnât seem that skinnyâŚâ
Was it because she couldnât see it?
Abella didnât see the shadow looming in front of her.
âAbella.â
âOops.â
Abella raised her head to the familiar voice.
âCade?â
Cade rubbed out the cigar in his hand and placed it into the trash can.
He then lightly shook his body, brushed off the cigarette smoke around him, and walked up to Abella.
Since he called her name, Abella couldnât leave freely and just looked up at Cade calmly.
Cadeâs sharp nose and his red eyes caught Abellaâs gaze.
Cade attracted peopleâs attention in a different sense from Arsene. That was why the Timur socialites saw him as a man who people wanted to marry. But among the two, Arsene was also very popular.
Cade was not short on anything but one.
Personality.
He smiled irkly with his handsome face, befitting that fame.
Cade asked Abella.
âI didnât expect to meet you like this. Do you come here often?â
âYes, Your Majesty. I come often.â
Abella came to her senses and replied. She didnât know who would see them since they were outside, so she couldnât treat him casually.
Besides, Cade kept confusing her.
He made incomprehensible moves and said strange things. Last time, he said words that threatened to break down the things that Abella had once believed.
Cade looked at Abella with a strange look.
âWhat are you doing here?â
â⌠I heard that the owner of the restaurant is the owner of this building. I came because I wanted to form a contract for the store below.â
Cade narrowed his eyes.
âReally?â
ââŚWhat are you thinking?â
âHow stupid do you think I am?â
âWhat?â
Cade snorted and shook his head.
âWhy the hell are you talking so dubiously?â Abella silently wondered.
â⌠I have thought that the greatest charm of the emperor is that he has no secrets and his frankness. However, it seems that the charm is being halved these days.â
Cade burst into brief laughter.
âWhy are you laughing?â
âItâs funny to hear that you felt attracted to me.â
Skeptically, Cade shook his head. Abella, astonished at his reaction today, faltered back. In fact, it was Cadeâs expression that surprised her. Of course, it was scary because a man with a sharp expression usually revealed his teeth like an animal.
ââŚuh. No. I shouldnât be like this to you.â
Cade reached out his hand to Abella. A softened look caught Abellaâs eyes.
A little while ago, a man who was angry at something was now looking at Abella with a normal face.
***
Abella stared at Cadeâs hand.
She was trying to grasp his intentions.
However, Cade, who seemed to be impatient, quickly revealed his teeth causing Abella to freeze.
âToday, I came to meet Arsene Sirius. I had a story to tell him. Arenât you curious about what it is? It could be a story related to you.â
What the hell was thatâŚ.
âWhat kind of conversation did you have?â
âWhat?â
âBecause you look upset. You seem quite angry⌠What kind of conversation did you have?â
Abella raised her hesitant hand. Although he was not always very nice, Cade wouldnât bite if the person didnât touch him. She wondered what on earth caused Cadeâs mood.
Abella took the beastâs hand without fear.
ââŚA little⌠we had an interesting conversation.â
Arsene and Cade had a clear difference in disposition.
She was curious about the conversation that the two people would have as they secretly met. But she didnât think Cade would tell her easily.
Abella went down the stairs, holding Cadeâs hand.
âCan I ask what kind of conversation it was?â
âWould that work? If that were the case, I would have opened the door earlier to let you in.â
He was also proud to keep it a secret.
ââŚThen letâs talk about something else. Why were you standing here?â
âIâve been waiting for you. To take you away.â

âI have a carriage too.â
Cade frowned.
âAh. Then I guess I wanted to see you one more time.â
It was embarrassing, honestly. Cade nodded his head, convinced of his own words, and led Abella. In this case, it was Cadeâs side that should be ashamed. However, Abella felt ashamed, and she didnât know why.
