Raising My Fiancé With Money
Chapter 55
Friends
TL: Jasmine
Lilia stared at the direction where the carriage disappeared, then turned her head and looked up at Karhan.
“By the way, how did you know what happened?”
“I was at the appointment place and heard the commotion, so I came here just in case.”
Well, since they had an argument in the middle of the boulevard……. Lilia looked around. Before she knew it, there were a lot of people.
“Shall we go first?”
When Malek and the horseman finished talking, Lilia took a step first. As the crowd dispersed, Lilia stopped. Karhan, who quietly followed, also stopped.
“By the way, your outfit is a bit bold today.”
At Lilia’s words, Karhan glanced at Tession and asked,
“Is it weird…..?”
“It’s okay, but…….”
With a body that was not common, people passing by would look back. His straight clavicle and ridge-like shoulders stood out in particular. With a great
physique, even when he frowned like before, it made a significant difference.
In the event of the carriage accident, if Karhan had put his forearm out the window instead of Malek, the other party would not have tried to pick a fight. Lilia looked at Karhan silently for a moment and shook her head.
“No, it looks good on you.”
This was different because he always wore clothes with plenty of cover. Above all, his body, which seemed to have been strengthened by training, was very ideal. If she had seen his body in the atelier, she would have thought his torso was imitating a statue’s..
Tession looked noticeably relieved at Lilia’s compliment. Seeing him, Lilia tilted her head and suggested walking for now. The two walked slowly down the street without going to the meeting place,
There was a moment of silence. Normally, Lilia would have naturally started the conversation, but it was Karhan who opened his mouth first,
“Did you go home safely that day?”
He was referring to the last day they met. It was the day they met by chance at the exhibition and even drank together.
“Did I make a mistake or something…”
Lilia recalled the memories of the day she had buried for a while. She remembered his eyes, which had been filled with heat. Lilia laughed jokingly after shaking off her memory,
“You didn’t make a mistake, but you were weaker than I thought.”
“…I didn’t know I was that weak either.”
Frances, Malek, and Tession, who were standing behind, naturally looked at Lilia. Karhan’s drinking capacity was about average, but Lilia drank so well that he looked relatively weak. But the two didn’t notice anything strange.
“Come to think of it, someone talked to me earlier.”
“Really? Who was it?”
“I couldn’t ask his name, but it was with a friendly attitude from the first moment.”
Karhan continued to talk with his eyes down as if it were regrettable.
“I tried to continue the conversation as you told me last time, but the other person apologised and left. I think I made a mistake.”
Lilia recalled the conversation method she had previously taught Karhan. She thought it was easy, but it seemed difficult for him. Lilia suggested to Karhan, who looked upset,
“Let’s practice together later.”
“Yes.”
He nodded as if he was still gloomy.
“……. Lilia seems to have a lot of friends.”
At Karhan’s statement, Lilia remained silent.
“Do I have any friends?’
There was no person who came to mind. All the names that barely came to mind were people who were related to Richard. Most of them just looked at her for the money and approached her.
“I don’t have any.”
Karhan was perplexed at the firm answer. Lilia shrugged lightly.
She remembered she had a friend when she was young, but when she grew up, quarrelling interests led her to stay away from everything. She had been betrayed so many times that she no longer felt the need to make friends.
Lilia looked up at Karhan. They joined hands for the same purpose, but if she defined her relationship with Karhan, wouldn’t it be close to friends?
“I don’t know about you, but I think we are friends.”
Karhan’s expression, who was silently looking at Lilia, shook for a moment. Lilia, who did not see it, suggested,
“You didn’t have lunch, did you? Shall we eat first?”
“Yes.”
Karhan removed the shadow on his face and briefly replied. They went straight to the restaurant, had a simple lunch, and then sat down at a nearby tea house, chatted lightly, and stopped by a bookstore,
Lilia and Karhan each went to their respective fields of interest. After choosing some music books related to the orchestra, Karhan moved on to the love field. Karhan’s eyes as he scanned the bookshelf stopped for a moment.
(Love beginner, become a master! Volume 2]
The next volume of the book he was reading hard these days had come out. Karhan picked up the book without any hesitation and put it on his side. As he turned his head, he saw Lilia, who was choosing a book right next to his corner.
Lilia reached out to see if she had found the book she was looking for. Even if she raised on her tip-toes and reached out her hand as far as she could, Lilia couldn’t reach and muttered to herself,
“I’ll have to call an employee.”
Lilia turned around and tried to find an employee. Then something hard touched her back slightly. His muscles-filled chest gently pressed her shoulders, and a familiar scent suddenly came in.
