Raising My Fiancé With Money

Chapter 56

Until When Are You Going To Deceive?

TL: Jasmine

Lilia looked at Karhan through the carriage window. When Karhan, who was getting farther and farther away, finally disappeared, Lilia closed the curtains. With a light sigh, she lowered her gaze. A book in her hand came into view. It was a book that Karhan himself took out earlier.

Lilia fiddled with the cover. Since the last meeting, she has been subtly uncomfortable. Karhan wasn’t uncomfortable, but her restless mind was the problem.

Continuing her meeting with Karhan, he became somewhat likable to her. She couldn’t help but be shaken by the way he looked at her and the polite and friendly attitude. If it remained like this, favor would sprout in a different direction.

After noticing it, Lilia often imagined being in a real relationship with him. It would be a ticklish and fresh relationship. But…

I’m not dating.

Lilia muttered to herself. She couldn’t even dare to try again because of her first relationship, which only hurt her. The wound, which she pretended to be okay, but the betrayal by the man she loved remained deep in the heart.

Lilia locked her heart tightly, covering the wound. She vowed, as if brainwashing herself, that she would not open it to anyone.

And she was not confident in loving someone with all her might as before. She didn’t want to be shaken. So, this distance between Karhan and herself was appropriate.

After travelling for a while, the mansion slowly got closer. When she finally arrived at the front door of the mansion, her carriage stopped.

When a disturbance came from the outside, Lilia moved the curtain. And she found Richard, who was scuffling with the gatekeeper.

“You can’t.”

“Tell her I’m here!”

As the gatekeeper kept repeating ‘You can’t!’ like a parrot, Richard blindly tried to go inside. The gatekeeper could not restrain Richard, a nobleman, and was focused only on stopping him.

Richard turned his head toward Lilia’s carriage.

When she met Richard’s eyes, Lilia closed the curtain, Since he hadn’t seen her in awhile, she thought he was determined to come. Lilia got off the wagon after much thought because he would be like that all day if she ignored it.

“Lilia.”

Richard frowned and called Lilia.

“Talk from there.”

Richard stopped when he was told not to come closer With a certain distance, Lilia looked at Richard silently

He swept his red hair to the side and was staring straight at her. It was the first time she saw him since they quarreled over the broken engagement at a tea house.

The letters from Richard had all been disposed of before they even fell into her hands, so she didn’t even see his name. Richard, who was looking at Lilia as if searching for something, once again approached.

“Long time no see.”

She thought she had forgotten, but the moment she heard his voice, the familiarity came. The expression on Lilia’s face faded like the coast where the waves swept by.

“I’ve been sending you letters. Haven’t you read, them?”

It was a friendly voice, but what was hidden inside was a subtle reprimand. Richard was good at making the situation advantageous by making his opponent feel sorry. Even when she was dating him, she always fell for that artful way of speaking and blamed herself for making a mistake again.

Recalling her foolish past, Lilia answered coldly.

“I don’t know because I threw them all away.”

His eyebrows rose faintly and then came down.

“Is that all you had to say?” (Lilia)

“Wait. Talk to me!” (Richard)

As Lilia tried to walk off, Richard grabbed her wrist at once. Frances and Malek warned Richard,

“Let go of her hand.”

He was about to pull out the sword, but Richard did not back down. It was because he knew they couldn’t do anything about it without Lilia’s order anyway.

“Why are you acting like a stranger? Our relationship is not over yet.”

“You’re the only one who doesn’t think it’s finished.”

When Lilia shook her hand, Richard gently let go of her wrist. Lilia looked at Richard face to face.

He was once a person she really loved. She thought it wouldn’t be a waste to give up everything. Even when the affection at the beginning of their relationship disappeared, and when he, who used to say thank you, started to accept it as if it were natural… Because she loved him, she pretended it was all okay.

And the result was betrayal. Lilia looked at Richard with cool eyes. His face was covered with lust and greed.

“I was sorry then. If you forgive me this once, I’ll do really well in the future…..”

“Did you run out of money?”

At Lilia’s blatant question, Richard stopped talking.

“You don’t want to restore your relationship, you want to restore your lost fortune. Isn’t that what happened?”
