Male Lead, Please Dump Me Three Times - Chapter 47

Whenever it came to meeting Ray, I would worry about what to wear.

But today was different.

There was no need for a long deliberation.

I left the mansion in an outfit that was comfortably casual yet neatly put together.

“Hmm……”

The reason Killian wanted to meet me wasn’t important.

If it was as the letter said, he seemed to intend to share his concerns about Delian, but he had deceived me several times before.

It could also be an excuse to test me one more time using Delian’s name.

My presence here today wasn’t to listen to his concerns.

I had a clear purpose for coming.

After waiting for a few minutes, I saw a familiar carriage approaching from a distance.

The white carriage was decorated with golden trim and framework.

The speed of the rapidly approaching carriage began to slow down.

Soon, the carriage came to a complete stop in front of me, and the door slowly opened.

A familiar figure appeared.

It was Killian.

“Get in.”

‘What? He came himself?’

Killian said to me with a sardonic smile, his eyes gleaming sharply.

“What are you doing? You’re not getting in. Oh, want me to give you a lift?”

Killian said, squinting his eyes at me.

“No. I’ll get in now.”

I firmly refused his offer and carefully climbed into the carriage.

I’ve always thought… Killian’s way of speaking is really arrogant.

‘Delian. Are bad boys your type…?’

Feeling a pang of sympathy, I unwittingly shook my head from side to side.

I took a seat opposite Killian in the carriage and said,

“I’ll leave the carriage door open. Just in case.”

“Suit yourself.”

Killian nodded his head and murmured lowly,

“It’s been a while.”

“That’s right. How are your injuries?”

“Injured? Me?”

“Don’t you remember jumping out of the carriage?”

Killian looked at me incredulously and nudged me,

as if it was ridiculous.

I jumped out of the carriage because of someone…

The nerve of him.

“Ah. That… As you know, it was urgent at the time. But how did you know I got hurt?”

He ran off so quickly after jumping out; he shouldn’t have known.

Did he step on me by any chance?

“I went back there. Saw blood on the ground, so I knew. You think that was animal blood?”

“Oh. I see.”

It seemed to be what was written in the letter.

I hadn’t read it all, so of course, I wouldn’t know.

“So. Are you okay? I’m asking for the third time now. Can you answer this time?”

Killian frowned deeply at me,

“Yes. As you can see, I’m fine.”

You’re asking the same thing three times, but I’ve heard the same thing three times too.

“Good to hear. If you find any injuries later, let me know. I’ll send a doctor from the palace to your mansion.”

“Yes. If I find any injuries later, I’ll let you know.”

I responded indifferently to Killian’s words,

“So. You said you had something to talk about? Surely it’s not love advice.”

“That’s right.”

“Was it really about Delian?”  

“I told you it was.”  

Killian leaned against the window and answered quite bluntly.  

“You’ve deceived me more than once or twice. Then tell me. I might not be of help, though.”  

Killian adjusted his posture and said to me.  

“I’m going to completely settle things with Delian.”  

“Yes. I think that’s a good idea too.”  

“So, meet with me.”  

Killian said this with a lazy smile on his lips.  

“Why is the conversation going that way? I clearly said I don’t meet men who are involved with friends.”  

“Didn’t you hear me? That’s why I’m breaking up. With that woman.”  

“Huh…….”  

“Is my statement hard to understand?”  

That’s right.  

Who is not understanding whom right now…?  

The more I talked with Killian, the more I felt like a hamster thrown into a constantly spinning wheel.  

I let out a faint sigh out of frustration and then said in a firm voice.  

“Then let me correct that. I do not meet men who ‘were involved’ with friends. I really dislike complications.”  

At my words, Killian’s eyebrows raised slightly.  

“What should I do for you?”  

“Not particularly…. You don’t have to do anything.”  

And then there was a moment of silence.  

“Ah, then. Can you answer just one question of mine?”  

“What is it?”  

“How has your insomnia been lately?”  

At my question, Killian’s pupils narrowed sharply. At the same time, his gaze intensely shone.  

“How do you know about that?”  

“Um…….”  

“Did you hear it from Delian?”  

I shook my head sideways in response to Killian’s question.  

“No, it’s not that. I happened to find out.”  

Killian’s face, which had been relaxed all along, noticeably crumpled.  

He soon raised his lips slightly and said.  

“If you’re going to be like that, I don’t want to tell you either.”  

“But you just said you’d answer my question. Are you lying again?”  

“I asked what the question was, didn’t say I’d answer it.”  

Killian’s jaw muscles twitched slightly.  

“I have insomnia. So, I was wondering if there’s a way… that’s why.”  

I pretended to have insomnia to hear Killian’s answer.  

“Daisy.”  

Killian looked at me with tender eyes and soon stood up to approach me.  

He squatted in front of me and met my eyes.  

Is it really okay for the crown prince to squat down like this…?  

I was diligently verifying the facts in my head when he said.  

“If I knew that, would I be living like this now?”  

“……How are you living then?”  

“Why do you want to know?”  

“I’m curious. As I said… because of… insomnia.”  

Killian let out a faint chuckle at my words.  

“So, if I tell you, what will you do for me?”  

“Do you need something?”  

“Yeah. You.”  

“I’m being serious right now.”  

“…….”  

Killian dropped his gaze and sighed at my words.  

“You asked me before, why do I meet Delian?”  

“Yes.”  

“To sleep together.”  

Suddenly, I felt embarrassed that I had inadvertently eavesdropped on a friend’s private life.  

“Um, I don’t really want to hear about that…….”  

“You were curious. The method that cured my insomnia.”  

I couldn’t understand what Killian was saying right away.  

I started piecing together the stories I heard from him in my head.  

“Holding a woman helps me sleep better.”  

“……What did you say?”  

“Delian, well, she particularly eases my fatigue well. Knowing that, she still follows me along.”  

“…….”  

Since I couldn’t continue speaking, Killian slightly lowered his gaze and said.  

“I didn’t want to tell you this much.”  

“No…, so you mean you held women just for sleep? Without any feelings?”  

“So, if you promise to stay by my side, I’ll abandon her. That woman.”   

Killian’s purple pupils were filled with my reflection.   

A fleeting emotion passed through me.   

‘So he embraced women as a means of comforting himself…? Delian was one of those women then….’   

This XX…… I really can’t deal with him anymore.   

“I clearly said no. Regardless of what decision you make about Delian, please leave me out.”   

“Do you want something? Or tell me if you need anything.”   

“I don’t need anything.”   

“It’s not easy. Don’t provoke me for no reason.”   

Again, Killian’s gaze coldly flickered.   

“Just keep holding this and that woman just as you have been doing. I truly don’t understand why you are telling me this.”   

Suddenly, Killian let out a short snort.   

“You have it too. Insomnia.”   

“But, what about it?”   

“Maybe you know? You might get cured too.”   

Killian spoke with an indifferent expression, making my skin crawl.   

“I’ll just live with my insomnia.”   

Killian brought his face closer to mine and said.   

“I’ll help you. It’s nice to sleep together, isn’t it? Just don’t think about doing it with another guy.”   

To speak so nonchalantly like that…!   

I was so dumbfounded that my lips remained parted, unable to close.   

“Isn’t that quite a good offer?”   

Killian’s pupils were lazily relaxed. I instinctively felt threatened.   

“You should have enough women already. Why are you doing this to me?”   

“It’s hard to explain. You might find it unpleasant.”   

“What reason could possibly make you worry like that?”   

“It’s a bit difficult to say in words.”   

“…….”   

Killian burst into laughter as if he had found something very amusing.   

“I can’t show it directly either. I want to explain it to you, but there’s no way.”   

My head throbbed so I pressed hard on my temples with my fingers.   

It was supposed to be about Delian……   

In the end……   

I said that and then took my gaze away from Killian.   

“Daisy.”   

“Yes.”   

“I have something I want to ask too.”   

“What is it? I’ll listen first and then answer you. If it’s another strange question, though……”   

“Do you have someone in mind?”   

Killian asked me in a sharp voice.
