Chapter 211 – Alienation #3

@@

After returning from a date with Ji-hyeok, Adele touched the fox necklace he had given her when they broke up.
He said that he would wear it too and suggested that we wear a couple necklace together.
You don’t know how happy I was. It’s a cute design, so it would be embarrassing for a man to wear it, but he said he would wear it regardless.

‘Pretty…’

Beautiful design no matter how many times you look at it. I really liked it.
Adele, who was smiling with a smile, heard a rattle at the front door, and lay down on the bed with a gloomy expression and covered herself with a blanket.

She seemed to be really disappointed if Sylvia hid the fact that she had met Ji-hyeok.
In fact, she was still disappointed.
Even if they met secretly, Sylvia, who called herself a saint and respected her opinion, said something different in front of Ji-hyeok…
The more she thought about it, the sadder she got. Tears come out of nowhere.

But you have to be patient. She’ll have to see her face now that Sylvia’s in, but she’ll be suspicious if she has tear marks.
She was afraid that she would say something unspeakable to Ji-hyeok again, so it was right for her to be careful.
Not long after, a knock was heard at the door of his bedroom.
Adele hurriedly wiped her eyes and spoke in a sleepy voice.

“Are you my sister…?”

“Yes. Can I come in?”

“Wash your hands…”

“I just washed…”

“Then come in.”

The door opens cautiously, and Sylvia smiles broadly at Adele, who sticks her head out, and she sits astride the bed.

“Did you wake up? Sorry for waking you up.”

“No…”

“Did your date go well?”

“Yes… Did your sister come from a workout?”

“Yes.”

“It must be hard… Take it easy.”

Sylvia, who giggled at those words, nodded her head.

“I will. Thanks for thinking about it.”

“I am your sister’s best friend. Is your sister like that too?”

“Of course. You are my best friend too.”

Was the person who thought of me that way treated me like a child behind the scenes?
These words rose to the top of her throat and then went down again.
Adele smiled awkwardly and lay down with Sylvia on her back.
Then Sylvia strokes Adele’s hair and she says.

“I have something to tell you, but I’ll do it later when I’m sleepy.”

She’s trying to talk about how she met Jihyeok.
Adele thought so and glanced at Sylvia.

“I’m awake. Try it.”

“Okay. First… I want to say I’m sorry.”

“…. Why?”

“I… Even though I said no in words, I must have thought of you as a child on the inside. That’s why I was always worried and wanted to take care of him.”

Did you realize something from the conversation with Jihyeok?
Sylvia’s first words were very satisfying.
To the point where her stomach, which began to bubble up, quickly subsided.

“…..”

“Are you listening…?”

“Yes… I am listening…”

“I was really angry when I heard that Jihyeok did something like that. I thought he cheated on you. So, on the pretext of going to the gym yesterday, she met Jihyeok, had an in-depth conversation, and cleared up the misunderstanding. In the meantime, I got excited and said something I couldn’t tell you… I’m so sorry…”

It was felt that he was sincerely reflecting on his tone.
Adele asked about this.

“What can I say…?”

“I’m afraid you’ll disappoint me if you listen… That’s harsh.”

Too naive,
Always keep an eye on the other person’s feelings
I’m timid, so I can’t say anything properly.
It was a harsh word. I was disappointed, of course.
But was it a mistake? I can forgive you enough.

However, it was very sad to suspect that Ji-hyeok was deceiving Adele, such as the short time they met.
He was angry that he had shaken Jihyeok with such words.
Sylvia says she doesn’t have to apologize for her slip of the tongue, she has to apologize for trying to ruin her relationship with Ji-Hyeok.

Sylvia, who was stroking Adele’s hair from top to bottom, continued her words.

“And… I was trying to separate you two. That’s what I’m most sorry for…”

‘I’m sorry I tried to separate the two of you.’
It was the word I wanted to hear the most.
Adele agreed to forgive Sylvia.

“…..”

“Adele, can you look at me…?”

Turning her Adele body towards her, Sylvia was startled.
Because she was forced to hold back her tears.
The corner of the mouth drooped, the transparent tears formed in the puffy eyes…
Watching it made me so sad and sorry.

Adele, who had barely calmed down her overwhelming emotions, saw Sylvia’s face, and when her eyes moistened, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“I..Hehe…! She knew everything… What her sister said to Mr. Jihyeok… And she knew how much her sister was reflecting… Mr. Jihyeok told me everything…”

“Is it…?”

“Yes… Heuuuuu…!”

Adele raises her upper body and begins to burst into her loud wailing while shedding tears like beads of sweat.
Sylvia hugged Adele tightly at the sound of so sorrowful crying and apologized over and over again.

“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…”

“Ahhh…! My sister is really bad…! I really hate you…!”

Bad, hateful
Sylvia knew that she never meant it, but it felt like a dagger was stabbed in her chest nonetheless.

“It’s my fault. I will never interfere between you two again… Forgive me…”

Her weeping Adele slowly nodded her head in her arms of Sylvia.
Silva, who patted Adele on the back, not caring that her own T-shirt was getting damp, felt such a contradictory feeling that Ji-hyeok was both very resentful and grateful.

It’s disgusting that you suddenly told Adele about it like a tell-tale.
However, she was grateful that she had convinced Adele that she was reflecting.
Because thanks to her, she seemed to be able to receive forgiveness.
Sylvia, who had been comforting her Adele for a long time, when she fell asleep exhausted from crying, carefully placed her on her bed and left the bedroom.

‘I’ve never been in a relationship before, so why am I so stupid… I’m really crazy.’

This time, it was her own fault.
I didn’t know anything about her love, but I was messing around and trying to get in the way of the two of them… It was so pathetic.
Blaming herself, Sylvia wiped her damp eyes and sat down on her sofa.
I was really glad that they reconciled. In the future, the relationship between Adele and herself will become even stronger.
Thinking so, she leaned her head against the back of her sofa.

“That’s fortunate. I think things worked out well.”

These were my words as I sat in the lab and rolled my pen.
Adele’s shy voice is heard over the phone.

-Yes… It’s thanks to Jihyeok…

She had told me everything she had reconciled with Sylvia yesterday.
Every single line, in great detail.

“What were your thoughts at the time?”

– I am so grateful to Mr. Jihyeok… Her love for Sylvia’s sister has grown even more. She is still like her real sister and I like it.

“Is that so?”

-Yes … But now I’m thinking of keeping the story involving Jihyeok a secret unless her sister asks first. Because I don’t want to face this situation again.

Adele is so nice.
That’s why she doesn’t want to be around someone who’s cool and quick-witted like Sylvia.
I have to leave you as my pure Adele.

“Okay. I respect your decision.”

-I thought Jihyeok would say that. Will we meet today?

“I’m really sorry, but I don’t think it will be today.”

-Why?

Angry voice.
If I don’t explain the reason quickly, I think I’ll get angry.

“There is a problem with the navigator in the Grand Canyon, USA. It needs to be repaired.”

-Like Jeju Island? Then should I step in?

“It is fundamentally different from Jeju Island. Didn’t you sense the weak magic at that time? But now it is in a state of disrepair. The same goes for the portal near the navigator.”

– I’ll go too.

“Calm down. It was damaged due to falling rocks caused by lightning, so there will be no threat.”

– You didn’t ask me to go with you because something might happen? It’s because I want to be with Jihyeok.

Aah… This active expression of affection… I’m so proud of it.
Lovely.

“Sehwa will contact you in a little while, do you really want to go with me?”

-Are you Sehwa?

“Yes. They said they would like to introduce you to YuRia.”

Adele has never met Yuria.
So you won’t want to miss this opportunity.
As expected, Adele’s attention was focused there.

– I like it! Should I call Sehwa now? Ah, Sehwa said he would call me. I’ll wait.

“You did well.”

– When will Jihyeok come back?

“It depends on the state of the explorer, but I can finish all of them within today.”

-If so, I’ll have to add a punishment equal to the amount of time I didn’t see.

The cute grumbling makes me smile.

“Are you going to act calculated?”

-Mr. Jihyeok is currently in the position of being disciplined, so you must not disregard my orders. Please calmly agree. I cannot concede this.

Of course you have to agree I can listen to anything you say.

“I will. Just hang up. There are many things to prepare for.”

-Yes, have a good trip!

Adele gave a final growl and hung up the phone.
It seems that he is very much looking forward to meeting YuRia.
Be possessed by two people and play. I have somewhere to go with Sylvia.
After tapping the keyboard for a while, I got up when Sylvia was caught on a camera monitoring the area around the lab.

‘It’s here.’

Analyzing Sylvia’s reaction Adele told me, she must have thought of me as an innocent but scathing and unlucky bastard.
Due to Sylvia’s personality, it seemed that she would come to criticize or criticize about this incident, but her prediction was correct.
If she didn’t come, she was going to call herself, but I’m glad we saved her trouble.

Sylvia had already entered the hallway leading to the entrance to her lab.
I quickly changed her fighter jet into her pilot’s suit and waited for her with her toolbox.
Soon after, the door to the lab opened with a loud noise.
Afterwards, Sylvia with a slightly flushed face looked at me and strode closer to her.
I raised one of her hands towards her and greeted her.

“Hello, Mr. Sylvia. What are you doing without contact?”

“I want to talk to you about something important… Do you have any business? What about the doctor?”

“Doctor is having a meeting with the United Nations at home, and I am going to the United States.”

“USA? Why are you there?”

“The explorer in the Grand Canyon is broken. It needs to be repaired.”

At those words, Sylvia crossed her arms and asked in a slightly troubled tone.

“Okay…? Can I go right away?”

“It’s good to fix the Explorer as soon as possible, so that’s good. Is Sylvia busy?”

“I’m just messing around with nothing to do… Why?”

“I’m bored because I have to go alone… If you have nothing to do, come with me. You talk about important things in the fighter plane.”

“Yes…?”

Sylvia’s eyes widened at her unexpected proposal.
She asked, rolling her eyes.

“How long will it take?”

“I think it will be finished in the evening, Korean time. It’s time to come and go. If it’s the speed of a fighter jet, there’s no problem at all. I feel relieved to have strong reinforcements like Sylvia, so I think I can finish it faster.”

I pushed it gently, but it didn’t work at all.
Sylvia, who heard my last compliment, thought about something about her for a moment, then nodded her head.

“Then what… Let’s go together. You’re coming back today, right?”

Seeing that he consented to this level of persuasion, he must have wanted to peck me.
It’s a very good thing for me. You said you felt good since yesterday, but the sky is helping you.
It’s Marcella. It’s been a while since we’ve been together.
If you pierce my stomach like last time, you know that you will get slapped.

“It’s fine.”
