Chapter 65: Another Chance

Park Noah stopped walking and turned around to face the trailing Adrian, who also stopped in his tracks; the distance between them about five steps. Slowly, she approached him, her arms folded.

“…..?”

Adrian seemed surprised at the nearing Park Noah, who had been ignoring her all day, his green orbs showing a glint of interest and curiosity. Park Noah only stopped when the distance between them was so close that a fist could barely fit in between their faces. Then, she looked up and stared at his face.

In contrast to his behavior on the first day they met where he had suddenly grabbed her waist, Adrian didn’t move an inch, his hands tucked in the pocket of his pants. After a moment’s silence of staring at each other, he suddenly muttered.

“It makes me feel weird when you look at me like that, Eleonora.”

At the last word, his voice sounded unsteady. Park Noah remained silent, observing the waves of emotions in Adrian’s eyes.  Simultaneously, the sea breeze swept his bright blonde hair up into the air. She then extended her arm, brushing softly his disheveled hair, and asked.

“Why did we break up, Adrian?”

“Why are you asking me that now? I know you’re not really curious at all.”

“How are you so sure?”

“The look you make now is just the same. Everything else is different. It’s quite different from the past, so it’s safe for me to say you’re someone else. But at times, the Eleonora I know suddenly shows up. ”

Adrian usually used to look at her in deep interest, but now his eyes showed conflicted emotions. A deep resentment flickered for a moment and soon turned into longing. But then he clenched his jaw as if he was holding back something.

“I asked you why we broke up. Were you too harsh for me? Did you cheat? Did you have many other partners besides me?” Park Noah asked at once.

“That’s not what happened. You liked my face a lot.”

She assessed Adrian for a moment, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. She had thought it over and over again, but his feelings for Eleanora Asil wasn’t something he could forget so easily. Behind his

jokes were lingering emotions that were hard to let go.

Although Park Noah still doubted his intentions, that was as far as she could go. Adrian had professed his love for Eleonora Asil but unfortunately broke up with her two years ago for some reason. What followed then was the witch’s death. Still, it is reckless to rule out the possibility that this man had murdered his lover.

“If I had hurt you in any way, I would have hated myself. Isn’t that right?”
