Chapter 233
Kanna Adis’s face flushed crimson.
I had suspected as much, and my suspicions were confirmed. He had clearly heard every word of the conversation outside the door.
“At that distance, I can hear everything.”
“….”
“I apologize for eavesdropping unintentionally.”
He spoke those words with an expression that showed no apology whatsoever.
“Why did you say that?”
His voice grew progressively lower. His eyes darkened profoundly, as though plummeting into an abyss.
“Do you want to be?”
Those words struck like a blow to her solar plexus. The pain of that sensation made Kanna Adis shake her head hastily.
“No.”
At that, Alexandro Adis’s lips curved upward.
“I do want to be.”
“…What?”
Kanna Adis didn’t immediately comprehend his words.
What was he saying right now…?
With those words, Alexandro Adis pushed himself away from the door and approached her.
“And you?”
The man with fervent eyes drew closer. Kanna Adis’s limbs went rigid. She felt as though bound by chains from head to toe, unable to move even an inch.
“You don’t?”
With each step he took forward, Kanna Adis retreated backward, until she collided with the chamber and stopped. Then Alexandro Adis halted as well.
“….”
Kanna Adis’s face had frozen stiffly. Seeing that expression, the reins he had barely managed to hold suddenly tightened around his neck.
‘No, this won’t do.’
This isn’t right.
He exhaled a long breath and rubbed his eyes. If he continued like this, she might feel burdened….
But.
“I am that person’s, ….”
He bit down hard on the inside of his mouth. Otherwise, he would lose all reason and restraint, springing forth like a coiled spring.
He gathered every ounce of patience and forced himself to take a step backward.
“I am that person’s, ….”
The moment he heard those words, he was dying to resist the urge to kick down the door and leave.
After the Cooking Instructor left, the time spent waiting for her outside the door was even more agonizing. His mind conjured nothing but images of dragging her into the house immediately.
He swallowed down the turbulent emotions that had swelled within him. And he spoke.
“Kanna Adis.”
His own voice sounded bestial to him.
Perhaps that was why? Kanna Adis’s face continued to freeze over.
“Answer me.”
“….”
“Why would you say I’m yours….”
His voice trembled faintly at the end. He drew a deep breath and continued his sentence.
“Why did you say I’m yours?”
She turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
“I don’t know.”
“….”
“I’m sorry for saying something strange. I apologize.”
She murmured softly.
“Don’t say such nonsense about wanting to be mine. Besides, you’ll regret everything that’s happened here once you come to your senses. And….”
She took a deep breath.
“I have a man.”
At those words, Alexandro Adis felt as though his head had been struck.
He blinked. He couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.
“You have… a man?”
After a long pause, he asked with difficulty. His voice trembled so much it sounded foolish even to his own ears.
“Yes.”
All the strength drained from Alexandro Adis’s body. He nearly lost his balance and stumbled.
It was a shock. An overwhelming shock.
Kanna Adis had a man.
A man….
‘Of course… that makes sense.’
The world would never abandon a woman like her. Just as he had, there would surely be men willing to cling to her, sacrificing their entire lives.
“…Are you planning to marry him?”
“It’s not that kind of relationship.”
Kanna Adis fixed her gaze meaninglessly on the wall.
“He’s a precious man to me.”
“….”
“He made great sacrifices for me, just as you did. As long as I live, I have no intention of severing my bond with him.”
The more she spoke, the faster Kanna Adis’s words came.
“To be honest, you’re not the only man entangled with me. Did you think you were? I’m also connected to your two sons….”
“….”
The rest of her words were swallowed back into her mouth. She couldn’t seem to finish.
But Alexandro Adis understood without hearing it. He understood perfectly well.
‘My sons?’
His mouth felt hollow.
His mind felt like sand crumbling apart as he barely managed to piece together his thoughts.
She said he had two sons. Sons who resembled him remarkably.
They would surely share his tastes as well…
At that thought, a fierce competitive fire blazed up within him. His eyes gradually sharpened with intensity.
“So?”
“…What?”
“So what about it?”
Finally, Kanna Adis’s gaze returned to him.
“Didn’t you hear what I said?”
“I heard. But what does that matter?”
“I said there’s a man.”
“And?”
“And your two sons adore me terribly. I’m hopelessly entangled with them. So much so that I can’t break free even if I wanted to…”
“Who cares about that?”
Kanna Adis’s words caught in her throat. She couldn’t possibly follow Alexandro Adis’s logic.
He had a precious man? He was entangled with his two sons?
“What I’m curious about is your heart.”
He fixed her with an aggressive stare as he spoke.
“What you think of me—that’s all I care about.”
“…”
“Tell me what you think of me?”
He stepped closer again. As his face drew near, Kanna Adis’s heart plummeted.
“I want you.”
His face held nothing but pure, undiluted desire—no hesitation, no conflict. Kanna Adis trembled at the sight of those eyes.
Alexandro Adis’s gaze was unmistakably that of a man.
“Alex. You…”
Kanna Adis’s voice wavered. Heat rose within her, and her face burned.
“You’re the one who raised me.”
The Alexandro Adis she knew would never look at her that way. His gaze had always been that of a guardian.
Stubbornly so, without a single moment of weakness.
“I know. You don’t want me like that.”
At those words, Alexandro Adis let out a derisive laugh.
She truly understood nothing. His future self had been so meticulous.
He had transformed his entire world into something lifeless and tried to make himself into a puppet incapable of feeling anything. Unimaginable joy lay before him, yet he never even attempted to grasp it.
And so he had squandered his one and only life.
“I’m not a fool who gives my life to just anyone.”
“…What?”
“I protected you because I love you.”
Kanna Adis’s eyes widened. Her lips parted.
Alexandro Adis witnessed her shock unfold before him with perfect clarity.
And in that moment, he heard a voice from deep within. A moan accompanied by profound sorrow.
No.
Don’t say it.
‘Damn it.’
Alexandro Adis clenched his fists tightly.
It was a beast that his future self had caged behind bars. At the sight of that pathetic figure, a hollow laugh escaped him.
Suddenly, the memory of when he first saw her came flooding back. She had been bound in chains, trapped behind bars.
He had freed her from the Prison, granting her liberty—but….
‘In exchange, I locked myself away.’
To protect her, Alexandro Adis had willingly entered an invisible Prison.
There was no freedom there. It was an eternal Prison where he was not even granted the right to admire someone.
‘Not even the freedom to love in secret.’
Even a demon burning in hellfire possessed the freedom to revere God.
‘I won’t live that way.’
He was too young to abandon the love he had harbored for the first time, too young to resign himself to despair. It was a brilliant spring.
He possessed the strength to overcome any obstacle, to ignore the condemnation of all. He was not afraid to be covered in filth.
Twenty-year-old Alexandro Adis stood against his future self.
“You say you have a man? I don’t care.”
No.
“I want you.”
No.
“So you say it too.”
No….
Alexandro Adis raised trembling hands. He cradled her face.
“Why did you say my name, …?”
Stop.
Don’t come near Kanna Adis.
Let me be the only one who is broken.
‘I hate this.’
Alexandro Adis rejected it fiercely.
‘I want to be happy too.’
Beside Kanna Adis, together.
