I Become The Wife of The Male Lead Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Heilon (2) (Unedited)

Sigren walked down the hallway of Heilon mansion as the sun went down. He had a lot of work to do, so he had arrived later than the others. The way he appeared in the capital yesterday did not really fit his personality. It was too boisterous. And in honesty, he was quite annoyed. However, Abel said it was necessary to imprint people's minds with his image, so he did it, and definitely half-forced. 

'That damn master. He must have been happy to see me suffering.'

“Sigren.”

Sigren stopped at the voice calling him. He turned around and saw a girl with a familiar face. Her silver hair gently was swaying, and her vivid red eyes were looking at him.

“Fiona.”

Fiona approached slowly. “Are you going to stay here for a while? I'm worried because you weren't there for dinner.”

“Right.” As he answered, he took one step closer to her. 

Although it had been a long time since they had seen each other, the two continued their conversation as if they had met yesterday. 

“Your clothes seem wet. Is it raining outside?”

“Ah…” It was then Sigren realized that his clothes and hair were a little wet. As she said, it was raining softly outside. “A little bit.”

Then Fiona grabbed Sigren's wrist and pulled him lightly. “Even in spring, if you stay damp, you would catch a cold.”

Fiona took Sigren into her room since it was the nearest place. Then she handed her towel to him.

However, Sigren wiped the moisture off his hair in a dry manner. 

“Do it properly.” Fiona eventually took the towel and helped him dry his hair. She couldn't help it.

Sigren let out a sigh at Fiona's touch to dry his hair. 

“….” Upon hearing the sigh, Fiona glanced at him for a moment. She recalled that before she left, Sigren was very angry with her. Was he no longer angry now? However, she felt it was a bit awkward thinking about it. Should she just pretend nothing happened? She hoped he forgot about that. Moreover, he had just made a great achievement, he must be very happy. 

But, Sigren's atmosphere was too heavy as he had gotten older, though he was still young. It would be nice if he had a more lively manner like a young man. Because of this, the silent atmosphere between them made it awkward. And Fiona couldn't stand it. 

“Dragon.. Was it difficult to catch?”

“Not really.” Sigren replied briefly.

“I'm glad.” Fiona let out a small laugh. Then she was a bit guilty. She knew, in fact, he would fight more powerful dragons in the future.

Sigren then suddenly grabbed Fiona's wrist and pulled her closer. 

“Sigren?”

“It's done now.” Sigren, as he got up from sitting down, took the towel and put it on the back of the chair. Because of the height difference between them, now Sigren looked down at Fiona. It was the face he hasn't seen in a while. He scanned every inch of her face. He felt Fiona's was a little skinny. Suddenly an impulse thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He wanted to hug her. But he held himself and did not put it into action.

However, it was Fiona that moved first.

“It's a little late, but you really did a great job. Awesome.” Fiona smiled and hugged Sigren lightly. 

Perhaps she did it as an expression of friendship, so the hug was about to be over. But of course, Sigren did not want to miss the opportunity that came to him. He then pulled Fiona's waist closer. 

“Sigren…”

Hearing her puzzled voice, Sigren thought somewhat curtly. Did she think he would stay still? 

“….” Sigren rested his head on Fiona's shoulder while hugging her tightly.

“Tired?” FIona asked in a low voice.

“A little bit.”

Fiona wiggled while under Sigren's arms. But she didn't push him. 

Then Sigren asked the question he wanted to ask all the time in Heilon. “What are you going to do in the future?”

“I should finished the homework the Duke gave first?”

“The work in this mansion?”

“Uh-huh.”

Sigren lightly clicked his tongue. “You're always soft.”

She's been like that since they first met. She was kind to everyone. However, she had no intention of giving her heart completely and never liked to stay in one place.

“If you're going to leave, you should just throw Abel away.”

“I told you, it's Master.” Fiona slightly pushed Sigren's shoulder after she corrected the way Sigren's called Abel. 

Sigren's hand fell off Fiona's waist. “If you're being like that, the Duke would follow you to the ends of the continent.”

Fiona then mumbled a little. “Wel.. I can't deny that I'm a bit soft.”

“So you know?”

With a sigh, Fiona replied, “I know.”

Sigren had no intention of criticizing Fiona's soft tendencies. It was because that personality was the reason he was able to stay by her side until now. There was always room for him to dig more. Sometimes, in some circumstances, this was what he liked the most. “Then, what are you going to do when the work on the mansion is over?”

Fiona's eyes twinkled. “I'm going to buy a house.”

“Where?”

“Actually, it was going to be in the countryside, but it seemed like it would be a lot more inconvenient than I thought. I might just buy a house on the outskirt of capital city. So at least, it would be more quiet.” Fiona was grinning as she thought of the dream of owning a house. 

“I have something to say.” Sigren's expression was serious.
