Chapter 99: Chapter 51.1

Yernia was uncomfortable with Vihani.

She didn’t have a bad feeling about her but she did discover she had a crush on Cassian during their wedding.

It didn’t matter if this girl liked Cassian or not because there wasn’t anything between them.

“Can you lend me a handkerchief? I lost mine.”

Vihani talked to Cassian as if they were close.

The girl only introduced herself as Vihani and a friend of the Marquis De Bellet.

She must have been a high-ranking noblewoman.

“I don’t carry it around.”

Cassian lied with a straight face.

“Then I’ll borrow your clothes.”

Vihani caressed Cassian’s jacket.

Yernia opened her mouth but she couldn’t speak.

“What are you doing?”

Cassian looked at her coldly as if in a bad mood, but Vihani was confident.

She smiled with her eyes. “Why? This is just between the two of us.”

By that time, Yernia became curious about their relationship.

“I always tell you I love you, Cassian. That I’ll be a good girl for  you.”

She dropped the bomb and the air turned cold.

Yernia’s hand went tense and it crumpled her cards.

The game was in full swing.

Jennan, Marquis De Bellet, and even Vihani were all involved but this girl crossed the line.

She had no idea what Vihani had to do with Cassian but this was Yernia’s limit.

The aristocratic society always treated legal wives well.

Yernia wasn’t the only one there because there were other people around.

This girl must be looking down on her.

“I don’t want to,” Cassian said.

Vihani laughed.

“Aren’t you being too mean to your ex? You’re making me sad.”

Ex-lover?

Yernia glanced back at Vihani and Cassian one after another.

Come to think of it.

When rumors began to spread that Yernia and Cassian were dating at the academy, Cassian suddenly had a girlfriend to show off.

As a teenager, Yernia thought she was fortunate enough to not get involved with Cassian.

“Are you not going to play with the one you met at the academy? You’re too much.”

As far as Yernia knew, they broke up after dating for about a week.

She was told that the woman had an affair.

What?

She cheated on him and now she liked him?

“I don’t know this.”

Yernia pulled Cassian’s wheeled chair and he came towards her, eyes wide with surprise.

Whether he looked at her or not, Yernia held out her card.

“You don’t know, Yernia?”

She knew.

Yernia just wanted to stop their strange conversation out of sympathy for Cassian.

That’s all.

There’s no other reason… or not.

“Yes, I don’t know.”

“You just have to pay for this.”

Yernia suppressed her desire to stare at Cassian.

He was telling her the wrong thing.

If she played this just like he suggested, she’ll lose.

Yernia was conflicted.

“Oh, I told you the wrong thing. It was something else.”

In the end, Yernia went with what Cassian told her and she lost.

Only then did Cassian gave her the true answer.

Her stomach was boiling mad but she didn’t show any signs of it, of course.

Marchioness De Bellet and Jennan, who were enjoying the game earlier, left because it bored them.

Vihani kept her seat, but the Marquis De Bellet dragged her away to discuss something.

It wasn’t until the game table was empty and Yernia was left alone with Cassian when she asked. “Did you date?”

“You told me that she only had a crush on you in the past.” Yernia blurted out.

She asked her who Vihani was and Cassian replied she was just a woman who liked him during their academy days.

He didn’t say anything about dating her.

“We weren’t dating. Why would I waste such time?”

“Really? I remembered you had a girlfriend back at the academy.”

“We broke up right away because we knew it was a waste of time. And she’s not even Vihani. To be honest, I didn’t even remember her name until I saw her again.”

Vihani introduced herself to him and he said he only knew her name then.

Cassian seemed to hate it when Vihani clung to him, claiming she was his ex.

Every time she was mentioned, his face would crumple with displeasure.

“Why was she claiming she was girlfriend, then?””

“I don’t know. She’s the strange one. Scold her for me.”

“How can I scold her?”

“She deserved it. Plus, you’re my wife.”

Desiring to play another game, she grabbed the cards Cassian had arranged, scoured it and piled them up one after the other.

Then, her index finger and thumb grabbed a card.

“I really don’t like her, Yernia. She’s annoying. I don’t want to hear anything about her anymore.”

Yernia shook her head.

If Vihani had intended to give up on Cassian after their marriage, she would not have said anything in front of her.

Why did she keep trying to convince Cassian she was a good lover?

It was obvious that Vihani would not care what Yernia thought or said about her.

Upon seeing the dangerous glint in her eyes, Cassian sighed and flicked the card away as if he had lost interest.

The card fluttered at the center of the table.

“Just in case, don’t give me any trouble in the future. I don’t want to hear any strange rumors about you and Vihani or else I’ll get myself involved.”

When Cassian was sick, Yernia wanted to let him meet the woman he liked.
