Chapter 4: Uncanny Resemblance (1)

John stiffened at my rambling question. He gave an odd look for a slight moment before saying, “What?” with furrowed brows.

He looked troubled.

“Are you confessing to me?”

He questioned.

“Of course not. Don’t play yourself.”

I replied.

“I see…”

I’m forced to work with John, and a slight feeling of shock fills my body.

Besides, John has a cute child, Josh Lancaster. A married man would never commit such dirty things.

The dream I’ve had since losing my memory, I’m sure that dream is related to the loss of my memory.

John turned around and laughed while pulling the cuffs of his sleeve up.

“The beggar knows what she wants. Now follow me.”

John walked one step ahead.

He said to himself in a low voice.

He thought I didn’t hear, but I could hear him clearly.

What? Confession from a woman who smells rotten? He’s insulting me, right? I pricked my ears up and leaned over to make sure I heard him right as I watched his back grow smaller into the horizon. Sure enough, he repeated it again.

“I’m only following you to eat, not to confess.”

John’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

I raised my shoulders in surprise as he gave me a quick backward glance.

“Who said I wanted you to confess? Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to eat?”

It wouldn’t matter what I said. Nobles are too full of themselves, so I gave him an awkward smile.
