Chapter 123
Ch . 123 You’re Looking Over There (2)
Elena couldn’t help but smile at the place Carlisle brought her too . Sometimes she wished she could see what was inside his head . Elena admired the river as it flowed serenely past them .
“What are we doing here?”
Presently, the pair were sitting in a small boat . The sunset created a breathtakingly beautiful landscape around them, but she couldn’t help but wonder the reason for this location, and looked towards Carlisle .
“I told you . We were going to a place where you could focus only on me . ”
“Is that why we’re really here? Because there’s something important that others shouldn’t overhear?”
Elena stared at him expectantly . They were the only two people on this boat . It was the optimal place for them to have a secret conversation with each other, as all of Carlisle’s guards were watching from the bank .
“Not at all . I just wanted us to be alone . ”
“Sometimes I wonder what you’re thinking…”
“Ask me . ”
“…What?”
“If you have any questions, ask me anything . I’ll be honest with you . ”

She immediately couldn’t think of anything to say, and simply stared at him in front of her . The sun was slowly sinking behind Carlisle, spectacular shades of red creeping onto the sky . It was then that Elena really did realize that there was no one else around, and that they existed alone . Maybe that was why the calm sound of the river made her heart shiver . Elena finally opened her mouth to speak .
“What…what are you thinking now?”
“I’m thinking of living in a place like this . ”
“This? What do you like about it?”
Carlisle’s eyes flickered . He put one arm on his lap and rested his chin on the other .
“It’s small . ”
“It’s small enough that there’s no room to run away or look anywhere else . ”
“…It sounds a little strange . ”
“How do you interpret it?”
“That…”

Elena glanced at Carlisle as she spoke slowly .
“…you want to lock something up?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Carlisle let out an uncharacteristic burst of laughter . He looked so joyful that Elena’s eyes widened .

“Your answer is always beyond my imagination . Sometimes I want to know what’s inside your head . “
Well, it certainly sounded that way to Elena’s ears . A small space where one couldn’t run away or avert their eyes . Elena felt uneasy when he said it . Carlisle continued with a smile on his face .
“But you’re wrong . I wouldn’t do that, but as I am rather greedy, I want to obtain everything . ”
What?
“That’s why I’ll wait . Until it catches up with my heart which is so far ahead . ”
What on earth…
She stared at Carlisle, confused .
“I don’t understand what you mean . What do you want so badly that you’ll wait until then?”

Carlisle was about to answer, but then hesitated . It was Elena’s first time seeing him like this .
‘What is he hesitating for?’
Carlisle smiled faintly and continued .
“I can’t say . It might run away . ”

“If I said those words, it might reject me . But as you know, I am a greedy man…and I can’t handle rejection .
Elena looked at him with an unsatisfied expression .
“You said you would honestly answer my questions . Why are you stopping when I’m curious?”
“I am being honest that I can’t tell you . ”
Elena was caught off guard by his answer . She didn’t think being honest meant not revealing a secret, and it was only right to tell her what it was . Despite Elena’s annoyed expression, Carlisle continued on in a good mood .
“If you really want to know, think about it again and guess the answer . What do I want badly?”
“…Wait . ”

This situation felt similar to when Carlisle wouldn’t tell her about their past . Elena reflected on the words she had just spoken with Carlisle . Something he wanted to keep . But it might run away if he talks . It was more than likely that it was a creature that could move by its own will . Elena thought long and hard, then widened her eyes in realization .
“…Don’t tell me . ”
Carlisle’s face tensed .
“What is it? Is my guess wrong?”

Before she finished, Carlisle doubled over and burst into laughter .
“What is it? Is my guess wrong?”
“No, no . Your imagination is much richer than I thought . ”
“Then what is it? Tell me . ”
Despite Elena’s repeated protests, Carlisle could not stop laughing . Soon the red glow of the sun was falling behind them . To anyone’s eyes, they looked like the perfect pair of lovers .

Michael was distressed by the fact that Mirabelle and Elena were still absent from the Blaise mansion . Elena had just chosen lavender flowers to decorate the Belluette Square, but the florists had just notified him that they couldn’t supply them . And that was only the beginning .
Several other shops had contacted them, informing him that they suddenly couldn’t provide their services . Soon after, a fancy mask and a letter was delivered to Michael . It was sent back from Redfield, the Second Prince of the Imperial Family . The eyes of the imperial messenger were noticeably colder than when he first delivered the letter at Blaise mansion .
“Please pass this on to Lady Blaise . And tell her that the Second Prince insists on her appearance . ”
Michael looked at the mask and letter with trembling eyes . No one had to explain to him what was happening here . Redfield had to be behind this sabotage .
‘…My Lady . ’
It was unclear whether Elena would change her mind and accept the invitation . It was entirely up to her .
