The young master's brain lagged.
Even when they left the complex, he still looked utterly dazed.
What had he heard?
Chocolate cake... Bride...
Who was the bride?
He?
Elijah's words, which had cost him sleep and half of his spirit, rang in his ears all over again.
[I vowed to protect someone.]
[Ah, that... You already know that person.]
[It was a boy I met a long time ago. He was very clingy, begging me to stay with him. He even promised to be my bride.]
[Yes. I agreed.]
[He was really cute, couldn't even speak properly.]
[That boy... he is all grown up now. He is even taller than I am. And despite being somewhat stubborn, he is still kind of cute.]
Alexei was so enraged at that time.
'You are still in touch with him?' Gritting his teeth, he had asked. Half of his reason was holding him back from directly kissing Elijah and shutting that annoying mouth with his own.
[Yes, I am.]
