Chapter 164 Confession?
In the early morning, the Western-style mansion was unusually quiet, with four people gathered around a single dining table.
Yuzhu, Aoko, and Lily, who had just checked in last night, had all finished washing up and were sitting at the dining table eating the breakfast that Arthur had prepared.
Lily enjoyed her meal.
Although it was just simple toast and fried eggs, the thought that Arthur had made it himself made her eyes crinkle into two beautiful crescent moons, and a heartfelt joy welled up on her face.
However, as "regulars" who eat Arthur's homemade food every day, Ayumi and Aoko immediately sensed something was wrong after taking their first bite.
Then they also discovered:
The milk was too hot; it was burning my tongue when I put it in my mouth.
The edges of the toast were burnt black, and it tasted bitter when you bit into it.
The two perfectly runny, one-sided fried eggs in the center of the plate were burnt today, and the yolks were dry.
Such a basic mistake would never have happened to Arthur, not even when he first arrived at the mansion and learned to use the gas stove.
Aoko bit into the dry fried egg, her brows furrowing involuntarily.
Yuzhu put down her milk glass, and the two of them turned their gazes to Arthur standing to the side.
Upon closer inspection, Youzhu discovered an even bigger problem.
Arthur is completely out of sorts today.
Normally, if they look at him, with his keen intuition, he will definitely notice immediately and respond with a smile.
But at this moment, Arthur was staring blankly at the table, his eyes wandering, completely unaware of the gazes of others.
What bothered Youzhu even more was that Arthur's gaze seemed to be drifting to one side, intentionally or unintentionally.
No, to be precise, he was secretly watching Lily.
Arthur moved very cautiously, one could even say he was somewhat guilty.
If Lily moves even slightly or raises her head, Arthur will immediately look away as if he's been electrocuted.
Seeing this, Yuzhu's heart suddenly sank heavily, as if something was stuck in her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
That silver-haired woman only stayed one night, how could Arthur have changed so much?
Yuzhu didn't know what exactly happened between Arthur and Lily last night, but she suddenly felt an uncontrollable fire slowly rising in her heart.
During the few days that Arthur stayed at the mansion, no matter what happened, he always maintained a calm and composed demeanor when facing her and Aoko.
He had never shown such panic, guilt, or even "concern" in front of me before!
But this woman named Lily did it in just one night!
Yuzhu's fingers tightened slightly as she held the cup.
At that moment, she suddenly regretted the decision she made last night.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have just kicked this woman of unknown origin out of Misaki Town.
"Hey Arthur, are you possessed today?"
Aoko, being straightforward, didn't notice the air around her that was cooling down, and tapped the edge of her plate with her fork.
"The fried eggs are burnt! Is this your first time cooking that's a disaster?"
Hearing Aoko's voice, Arthur snapped out of his reverie.
He glanced at the truly appalling food on the table, and a look of shame immediately appeared on his face. He lowered his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Aoko, something really embarrassing happened this morning. My thoughts were too jumbled, and I didn't control myself well."
Arthur himself knew very well that while he was cooking, his mind was filled with the absurd scenes from his dream, and Lily's pleading eyes...
This made it impossible for him to concentrate.
"Something you're embarrassed to talk about?"
Qingzi grasped the key point, immediately put down her fork, and her gossip spirit burned brightly:
"What's going on? What could be so embarrassing to say so early in the morning? Tell me quickly!"
Yu-joo didn't say anything, but she sat there quietly, her eyes fixed on Arthur's face, waiting for him to continue.
"I think it tastes delicious."
Lily, sitting opposite him, looked up at that moment, completely unconcerned about the slightly burnt toast, and looked at Arthur with a sweet smile:
"Anything Mr. Arthur makes tastes the best, there's no need to be so serious."
Hearing Lily's somewhat affectionate defense, Arthur's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
He looked at the three girls in front of him.
Aoko was full of curiosity, Yuzhu's eyes were cool and deep, while Lily's purple eyes were full of pure trust.
Three pairs of eyes met on him at the same time.
Arthur was silent for a moment.
Then, he took a deep breath, and the hesitation and guilt on his face vanished, replaced by decisiveness and composure.
He made his decision.
He wanted to tell the whole story of what he had seen in his dream last night!
He had no memory; his mind was a complete blank.
He wasn't sure whether last night's terrifyingly vivid dream was some kind of illusion created by external forces, or a forgotten part of his past.
But his pride and bottom line would never allow him to hide such a potentially "sinful" thing in his heart like a coward.
Escape and deception are more disgusting than facing punishment directly.
What's more, Lily was there.
Since the woman in her dream had the same silver hair and purple eyes as her, she probably knew something.
If it's a hallucination, then talking it out will naturally bring a happy ending.
But what if... that really happened in the past, that he used his power to commit that unforgivable atrocity against her...?
Arthur clenched his fist.
If that's the case, no matter what the price he has to pay, he will definitely atone for his sins to Lily!
This is his awareness as a man.
"Miss Aoko, Miss Ari, and Miss Lily."
Arthur's voice deepened, yet it carried an unwavering resolve:
"Last night, I had a dream, a very real and... unbearable dream, and it was about Miss Lily."
