#63

 

They were the journalists who had been waiting earlier. They stood in front of the carriage taking photos and shouting.

 

“Princess!”

 

“Over here!”

 

“Please look this way!”

 

Gellen, who was watching the scene, said admiringly.

 

“Wow, those two really seem to get along well.”

 

Sonnet felt she couldn’t ignore it and turned to look.

 

Just then, the Princess was lightly embracing Aiden. The two separated gently, their expressions bright.

 

They looked like perfect lovers, as if trapped in each other’s world.

 

The Princess soon turned around and got into the carriage. The carriage that came with the Princess departed immediately, and flashes went off everywhere.

 

Once the carriage completely disappeared, the journalists checked their photos and disappeared one by one, and Aiden had already entered the headquarters.

 

Sonnet felt miserable, as if her heart had been thrown onto a sandy beach. Her heart throbbed and ached as if being pricked by needles.

 

Sonnet had definitely not come here to see such a sight. Just then, a journalist passed by Sonnet.

 

“Those two will get married soon.”

 

Sonnet swallowed with a stiff face. Her mouth tasted bitter. Was it because she forcibly swallowed down her miserable feelings?

 

“Senior?”

 

Only then did Sonnet come to her senses and look back at Gellen. Gellen looked at Sonnet’s face and said carefully.

 

“I think we can go in now.”

 

Sonnet didn’t want to go for some reason, but she had no choice but to enter the headquarters. As she entered the headquarters, Sonnet made a resolution in her heart again.

 

She wouldn’t let her heart waver anymore. She didn’t want to feel miserable anymore. She wanted to stop getting hurt because of Aiden.

 

The most important thing was not getting involved with Aiden, but right now she had no choice. She had no option but to avoid Aiden as much as possible.

 

After that, Sonnet avoided Aiden as much as possible. No, even when she ran into Aiden, she would answer briefly and not engage in conversation.

 

To go from the floor where Sonnet was staying to the first floor, she had to pass by his office without fail.

 

And since she had things to ask for, Sonnet inevitably had breakfast with Aiden every morning. After that, strange rumors started circulating.

 

“The Commander and Sonnet keep going around together.”

 

In fact, Sonnet needed Aiden’s help for the detailed investigation of the dungeon temple, so she had no choice but to encounter him frequently.

 

She only said what was necessary and barely responded to Aiden’s replies, but people around them started to exaggerate and watch with interest.

 

“Normally, the Commander doesn’t even eat with strangers. But such a person eats breakfast with Sonnet every day and goes around together…”

 

Eventually, rumors started that Sonnet was Aiden’s hidden woman. Officially, his lover was the Princess, but unofficially he was going around with Sonnet.

 

When she heard such talk, Sonnet could no longer stay still.

 

Moreover, Aiden said he could help with anything needed for research anytime, but when doing research, she had to do it separately with Gellen.

 

That statement was also ridiculous, but unfortunately Aiden was away on a distant business trip and she only heard that no one knew when he would return.

 

Even lying on the bed, Sonnet’s insides were boiling with anger.

 

‘If you’re going to help, just help properly, why attach strange conditions.’

 

Aiden, that apple pie. Cursing him inwardly like that, she left the door slightly open to hear if Aiden came. After all, only Aiden could come up here.

 

As soon as she met him, she would confront him. From the strange rumors circulating to the strange conditions.

 

Was it because the bed was soft? Sonnet barely opened her eyes but they kept closing.

 

When she checked the clock, it was 1 AM. Thinking today was a lost cause, she was about to turn over and lie down comfortably.

 

Regular footsteps were heard, then soon the sound of a door opening echoed.

 

Sonnet immediately opened her eyes. She hastily put on a robe and went to Aiden’s room.

 

She was about to knock on the door, but it was slightly open. Tensely opening the door and entering, Sonnet suddenly stopped in place.

 

He was facing away, taking off his shirt. As Sonnet blinked in confusion, Aiden turned around.

 

His almost completely bare upper body was visible. Seeing Sonnet frozen like stone, Aiden chuckled.

 

“Just got back.”

 

Only then did Sonnet come to her senses and turn around.

 

“Are you going to stay like that?”

 

Sonnet couldn’t bring herself to speak, when Aiden walked with big steps and stood in front of her.

 

Sonnet couldn’t lift her face. He was still shirtless.

 

“Sonnet.”

 

Sonnet unconsciously lifted her head. Strangely, when Aiden called her name, she instinctively turned to look at him.

 

Aiden looked at Sonnet intently and said.

 

“You look like you have a lot to say.”

 

Aiden smiled faintly. His eyes shone vividly as if looking at someone he loved.

 

“I was missing you anyway.”

 

Sonnet was so absurd for a moment that she frowned. Missing her?

 

She really couldn’t guess what Aiden was thinking. It wasn’t like he was joking either.

 

“Have you been well?”

 

Sonnet’s expression crumpled completely.

 

“Not only did you impose strange conditions for helping with research, but strange rumors are circulating too. How could I have been well?”

 

“What rumors?”

 

Sonnet couldn’t bring herself to speak. It was embarrassing and infuriating to say it with her own mouth. Moreover, the atmosphere had strangely settled, making her feel uncomfortable inside.

 

Especially as his mint scent wafted over, her head seemed to grow hot. Combined with his piercing gaze looking down at her, her mind became hazy.

 

Sonnet tried to pass by Aiden.

 

“Sonnet.”

 

Again. Sonnet hesitated for a moment. Aiden blocked her path and said in a low voice.

 

“There’s a limit to avoiding me. How long will you keep avoiding me?”

 

Sonnet looked at Aiden, wondering if she had heard wrong. Aiden kept his gaze on her and said.

 

“Are you going to avoid even the past when we dated?”

 

The past when they dated? As Sonnet’s eyes widened, Aiden raised the corner of his mouth mysteriously.

 

“You’re the only woman who’s mine.”

 

“…”

 

“Back then, and now too.”

 

Sonnet bit her lower lip. Her heart beat rapidly and her eyes trembled. Suddenly Aiden seemed much closer.

 

Especially at his confident tone, Sonnet barely held back tears and blurted out.

 

“Did your memory come back?”

 

Aiden didn’t answer and stared at Sonnet intently. Even though she told herself not to be greedy, she had actually hoped Aiden’s memory would return.

 

It was lonely to bear all the memories with Aiden alone. She missed him too.

 

The emotions she had suppressed for so long came flooding up. Sonnet hugged Aiden while crying. Aiden’s body moved slightly.

 

As he held his arms up stiffly with a frozen expression, Sonnet said through her tears.

 

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

 

“…”

 

“Actually, I hoped you wouldn’t recover your memory. Even if you did, it wouldn’t help your life much, and if I just stayed quiet, you would do well in your world.”

 

Sonnet spoke rapidly while sniffling.

 

“Do you know how miserable it was for me to remember you alone all this time? I even hoped you would marry the Princess. That way I could give up on you, and it would be good for you too.”

 

A brief silence fell. Strangely, he didn’t wrap his arms around Sonnet’s body. As if his soul had left him.

 

While Sonnet was puzzled, a low voice echoed from above her head.

 

“How could I marry the Princess when I don’t like her?”

 

Aiden gently wrapped around Sonnet’s back. Feeling his warmth all over her body, Sonnet kept crying.

 

“If I had known this would happen, I should have just put on the wedding ring when you showed it to me. Then at least there would have been proof that we were lovers. All this time you couldn’t remember, so I felt like only I was a fool, getting hurt and miserable…”

 

Sonnet hugged Aiden’s waist and cried. Aiden let out a light sigh and leaned his face against her neck.

 

Arms embracing her tightly without gaps, low breath scattered over her shoulders. It was such a familiar and longed-for embrace.

 

“Aiden, I missed you.”

 

This time, Sonnet spoke honestly. Now that Aiden had recovered his memory, she didn’t want to deceive anymore. Not her own heart, nor Aiden.

 

Aiden slowly pulled his body away. He gently wiped away the tears Sonnet had shed with his thumb. The corners of his mouth curved up softly.

 

“You really are my woman.”

 

Then he bit Sonnet’s lips.
