Chapter 126 - Trash (1) (2/2)
“Haha, we can always dance anytime. Why? Would you like to have a dance with me now?”
He seemed to find glee in playing with her. His glibness caused a level of discomfort quite unlike Carlisle.
“No. I don’t think it’s necessary for us to dance.”
“Of course. Well, just not today.”
Redfield flashed a sly smile and picked up a bottle of wine.
“Would you like a drink?”
“No thank you. I’m not good at drinking.”
“How about just one drink? It has been a long time since we last saw each other, and I’ll be disappointed if you don’t have at least one glass.”
“…Then please.”
Elena held out the glass in front of her, and Redfield filled the vessel. The peculiar smell was stronger in this room than outside. Elena’s forehead tensed and she put a palm to it, while Redfield’s eyes flashed at the gesture.
“Will you pour me a drink as well, sister-in-law?”
“I’m grateful for the glass you poured me, Second Prince, but it would not look good in the eyes of others for me to do the same.”
“Haha, what do you think of your family?”
“It’s better to be careful.”
Redfield continued with a slight shrug.
“If you insist.”
He filled his own glass and drank first. When Elena tried to shake off the blurriness in her vision, Redfield stared at her with concern.
“Are you unwell? There is water if you don’t want to drink.”
Redfield filled another glass with water for her. Elena stared at it, thinking it strange that Redfield kept encouraging her to drink. She answered without touching the water.
“No, thank you. I haven’t slept much because of the wedding preparations, and I was feeling dizzy.”
“Oh, you should be more careful.”
“I only came here to see you briefly. If you have nothing else to say, I would like to leave.”
Redfield held back a cruel smile at Elena’s unyielding manner.
“Would I have invited my sister-in-law here without something to tell her?”
While she listened to Redfield speak, she kept trying to rack her brain about that peculiar odor. It unsettled her from the start, but her suspicion grew as her body weakened.
‘…Where have I smelled it before?’
