My Former Lover Didn't Die And Came Back - Chapter 19

“If you don’t want to clear away a dead woman’s body, get a maid.”

“Don’t be childish. Do you really have to wear a dress?”

“…”

“I’ll send you some thick clothes. How about fur?”

“…”

Blair didn’t answer and let out a small sigh, turning her head to the side.

It seemed that he had no intention of getting a maid. She didn’t need to hear the reason to know. Perhaps it was to prevent her from escaping.

“… Do you want to feel warmer?”

“!”

There was no time to grasp the meaning of the words she had just heard. He lifted her slightly and seated her on his thigh at the table.

“So suddenly… You surprised me!”

“As always.”

Although the flustered Blair muttered softly, Cedric, as if nothing had happened, buried his face in her chest.

“It’s really… thin.”

And he sucked in the fabric as it was.

“Cedric…!”

Although Blair shouted, startled, he did not stop. He sucked fiercely like someone who had been thirsty for a long time. The thin fabric around her chest quickly soaked round with Cedric’s saliva.

“Ah…!”

The sound of sucking and wetting the fabric filled the large dining room. Her nipples, which developed over several months, easily erected with a little stimulation. Cedric slightly lowered the fabric and teased her nipples with his fingers before wrapping them with his long tongue.

“Wait, I don’t want this here. Let’s go to the bedroom.”

“It’s okay.”

He replied casually and focused on what he was doing. His thick tongue teased the sensitive area, and Blair’s waist arched up.

“Ah!”

Blair’s hand, gripping Cedric’s shirt, tightened. She bit her lip until it turned pale.

“Your subordinates are outside! I don’t want them here…!”

“They can’t come in.”

But on the first day of their reunion, there was a time when Cedric’s subordinates came into the mansion, claiming they were looking for him. They even made it as far as right outside the second-floor drawing room.

Cedric buried his face in her chest once again. Her nipples, which were tormented day after day, became even more erect. Blair’s vision blurred. The area where she sucked was her upper body, but her legs kept trembling, and her toes curled. She frantically tapped his back as a signal to stop.

“Ah, please…”

The dining room of Cavendish Mansion was connected to the hall and close to the mansion’s entrance. She remembered the sticky glances that had been stealing glances at her cleavage during the day. She really didn’t want to engage in such activities in such an exposed place. But Cedric seemed unwilling to stop his affections.

“I don’t want this! Not here, Cedric!”

As Blair shouted as loudly as she could, Cedric suddenly lifted his head.

“Do you think there’s anyone in this house who doesn’t know what you and I are doing?”

“……!”

A shadow of despair settled on her face as she stopped moving. Blair’s pupils, fixed on Cedric, lost focus and shook uncontrollably.

‘Ah.’

In an instant, her heart sank deep.

‘This man, he knows. How his subordinates see him and me.’

If that’s the case, he must also be aware of the shame she feels every day. Heat rose up her spine.

‘…The boss’s personal whore..’

It was undeniable that his subordinates viewed her in that light. Blair mulled over the words he had just uttered.

「Do you think there’s anyone in this house who doesn’t know what you and I are doing?」

Yes. It’s obvious what a man and a woman behind closed doors might do. Cedric could remain calm even after openly spending the night together because he is a young man with power. Moreover, he is their superior. She is different. The next day, she would have to endure uncomfortable glances all by herself.

A lump suddenly rose in her throat. If he showed a little consideration, his subordinates wouldn’t view her in such a derogatory manner.

Blair bit her lips again, she’d bitten them so many times already today that they were already swollen and about to bleed. Tension built up around her eyes.

‘…Would he treat that lady the same way?’

In fact, she had been feeling it for a while now. Today, Cedric exuded a strange scent. Faint but with a hint of lilac. It was definitely a woman’s perfume.

‘They mentioned that he went on a date with some lady during the day.’

Elena, was it? She must be a lady from a remarkable household. If she’s such a precious lady, he wouldn’t dare treat her lightly. How would he go on a date with her? At least not like he would with me. He wouldn’t be desperate at the dining table. And if she said no, he would stop.

Blair slowly pulled her lips away with a cold expression on her face.

“…How about inviting them in altogether?”

She had to focus all her strength to hide her emotions.

“What…?”

At that remark, Cedric’s face stiffened.

“It’s unfair that they could only hear our voices. They’re men in their prime.”

…Why am I so angry today? What am I angry about?

“…”

Cedric remained silent. His face was calm, but stormy turmoil brewed in his golden eyes.

“Invite them in and let them join us all together. They’re your precious subordinates, aren’t they?”

Blair asked cheerfully.

“…”

Cedric continued to stare at Blair. The muscles near his jaw clenched tightly.

“Surely, they’re trustworthy enough that you’d leave them with a lady for a few days and nights, aren’t they?”

Blair smiled prettily with her large blue eyes.

A chilling silence filled the dining hall. Blair and Cedric stared at each other without saying a word for quite some time.

“…”

“….Cedric. If you can’t do it, let’s go to the bedroom right now.”

Cedric blinked silently, then gently placed her back on the table and stood up. Due to his sudden movement, the dining room chair creaked and made a loud noise as it shifted.

Step by step, Cedric walked towards the mansion’s entrance. Blair watched him with a contemplative expression.

‘…What, what is he trying to do?’

Anxiety began to envelop her. Creak. The heavy mansion door made a sound as it slightly pushed open.

“…Theo!”

Cedric called out loudly for his subordinate. The mansion door was left slightly ajar. Shortly after, Theo entered the mansion entrance.

“Yes, sir.”

Theo, following Cedric inside, saw Blair sitting at the table in a thin dress and was taken aback. Blair, recognizing Theo, also had to swallow hard.

“…”

“…”

Blair and Theo exchanged glances for a moment. It was Theo who turned his face away first and avoided eye contact. And Cedric observed the entire process with his arms crossed.

Blair looked at Cedric’s face. Although Cedric remained expressionless, he turned his head towards Blair and fixed his cold gaze on her while giving orders to Theo.

“Pass the message to the ones at the main gate.”

“…”

“Tell them all to come in.”

The color drained from Blair’s face in an instant.

“Yes…?”

Theo asked, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

“You didn’t hear? Tell them all to come in.”

An icy voice flowed from Cedric. Blair, like a mermaid adorned with beauty, stiffened, slightly parting her lips and averting her gaze. Theo, with his gaze wandering aimlessly, asked again.

“Um, pardon my rudeness, but there are six personnel stationed at the main gate. Are you calling them all in?”

“Yes, this lady here seems to think I’m not enough.”

Theo’s face flushed.

Blair recognized Theo’s high moral standards. But as a military man, he couldn’t disobey a superior’s command. This made her even angrier—at his hypocrisy in venting his frustrations on his subordinates, and at herself.

If he lived a life like hers, he would surely know that those with nothing to lose have no fear.

Blair had been feeling exhausted lately. The days were getting colder, the sun was setting earlier, and the darkness was spreading in the mansion.

She began to wonder why… she had to endure this treatment from him. At first, it was for the sake of her parents and husband’s lives. But recently, she couldn’t understand why she kept enduring it. She couldn’t even remember when she last saw her parents. Just mentioning her husband would make his face contort.

Even Blair found herself strange today. Something hot kept rising inside her.

‘…I understand the anger Cedric harbors towards me, but now I’m tired too.’

Blair placed a hand on her chest.

Suddenly, she grabbed the front of her dress and pulled it down, revealing her ample bosom.

At that moment, Cedric quickly reached out his arm and stopped Blair’s hand just before the pink nub was exposed.

“What are you doing without turning around immediately?!”

Cedric’s face contorted as he raised his voice at Theo.

“…I-I’m sorry!”

When Cedric pulled up Blair’s dress to cover her chest and Theo turned 180 degrees towards the wall, his ears, and neck turned bright red.

“Are you crazy?”

Cedric growled as he smoothed down Blair’s dress.

“Wasn’t this what you wanted?”

Blair said brazenly to Cedric.

Cedric clenched his teeth and held back the words that rose to the tip of his tongue. Then he gave orders to Theo, who was still turned away.

“Theo!… Leave!! Don’t make a sound near the mansion until I call for you.”

“…Understood.”

With the sound of the mansion door opening and closing, Theo disappeared. Cedric wrapped his arms around her and quickly ascended the stairs to the second-floor bedroom as soon as Theo left.

Cedric released his embrace on her on the bed. The white muslin dress was scattered on the sheet. The ribbon tied to the front was loose, revealing her one shoulder. Cedric undressed Blair and pressed his body against hers.

“…Blair.”

Blair clenched her fist and struck his chest hard.

“You really called them over!”

“You were the one who asked for it.”

Thud.

“You asshole, I told you, I don’t want it on the dining table….”

Resentment filled Blair’s face.

“…….”

“…Bastard, you didn’t even look for me for a week…”

“… I just don’t understand.”
