Episode 62. Suspicion (8)

Winnie couldn’t quite grasp what she was hearing. What was she not supposed to do?

“Sir Edward is Monica’s husband, and Viscount Melbourne is Monica’s friend. If you have an affair, how much would Monica be hurt…”

Wait, wasn’t Vera herself Monica’s mother? It seemed like being involved with her mother would be more shocking than being involved with a friend, so how could she say such a thing so shamelessly? Actually, at the point of having an affair, it was fifty steps to a hundred, but Winnie’s thoughts didn’t reach that far.

“Vera nuna?”

“Use honorifics, Sir Edward. And just listen to what I have to say.”

According to Edward, she usually called him “Ed” as a pet name and treated him casually like a younger brother. Edward seemed slightly hurt by her deliberate attempt to distance herself, but Winnie understood Vera’s actions.

‘Vera ajumma thinks I don’t know she’s having an affair with Edward!’

Thinking that, Winnie understood why Vera was so confidently scolding her. As a mother-in-law who witnessed her son-in-law and her daughter’s friend having an affair without knowing anything, Vera was responding in a ‘normal’ way. Vera began to speak to Winnie again.

“Of course, I admit that my son-in-law is very attractive as a man. He’s handsome and has a good body… Any woman would be drawn to him. But still, what’s not okay is not okay.”

Winnie had never thought Edward was that handsome. Since he was a knight, it was true that he had a good body… But to Winnie, who knew everything, those words sounded like Vera was rationalizing herself.

“I shouldn’t have believed you when you said you weren’t interested in men, I should have found you a husband sooner… I’m sorry. But I can’t just stand by and watch my son-in-law have an affair… I won’t hold you responsible, Winnie-yang. Sir Edward, you and I need to talk.”

Normally, Winnie would have let Vera misunderstand. It was Winnie’s personality not to bother correcting other people’s thoughts. She didn’t want to say things that were almost certain not to get a good reaction.

“Nuna…”

“I told you not to call me that. Get dressed and come out quickly. This isn’t something we can talk about in the guest room.”

But today, she didn’t want to do that. It wasn’t that she had any feelings for Edward. It probably wasn’t. But if she left like this, she would have her penis, which she could use comfortably, taken away by Vera. Since he was the first man she had, she didn’t want to just stand by.

“Vera ajumma.”

Vera, who was about to take Edward out with a face closer to sadness than anger, turned around at Winnie’s call. As if guessing Winnie’s intention of calling her without saying anything, Vera said,

“Don’t worry about Monica. I won’t tell her… I’ll keep it a secret in my heart. But, Winnie is Monica’s friend, so please tell her honestly someday.”

“That’s not it.”

Vera was someone she usually thought of as a mother and followed, but she wanted to say this.

“Ajumma, you’re having an affair too.”

Vera staggered.

“W-what are you talking about? Where would I find a man to have an affair with?”

Perhaps because she was drunk, Winnie made a bold statement. This situation was getting complicated. Vera, who hadn’t even drunk much, was so flustered that she staggered.

“Where else? You said it all earlier. Handsome, with a good body. The person that any woman would be drawn to. You’re talking about Edward.”

She was a little embarrassed when she heard those words. She was grateful that Vera thought well of her, but Winnie was looking at her with a face that said she didn’t understand. Winnie, who usually couldn’t hide her emotions well, had her thoughts written all over her face as if she had drunk alcohol.

“N-no, I’m not.”

“Don’t lie! I saw everything!”

“It’s really not an affair!”

Their voices grew louder, and after Vera’s shout, silence fell. An affair… it wasn’t an affair. I had proposed to Vera. It wasn’t an affair… Vera was practically my wife. She was still wearing the ring I gave her when I proposed, not her original wedding ring. I couldn’t say it openly to the world, though. Was that what she meant by it not being an affair?

“An affair… it’s only an affair if you like each other. So it’s not.”

“What do you mean…”

The words came out reflexively. I had even proposed, but Vera didn’t like me? But Vera’s eyes were full of tears, as if she was about to cry. Vera looked at me and said,

“I like Edward. But it’s not reciprocated… I’m just liking him one-sidedly. To Edward, it was just a light fling…”

“No, I like Vera nuna so much.”

“Liar. In the end, Edward likes a young and firm woman like Winnie more than an old and aging woman like me.”

I had nothing to say about that. I could understand why Vera would feel that way. But it was just a different kind of thing. Vera had her own charm, and Winnie had her own charm.

“Honestly, I was so surprised when I heard the words ‘young and firm.’ Are kids these days so direct in their expressions? It seemed like a slightly rude expression, but I thought I would take it well and move on because it meant I was that attractive…”

Winnie made a face that said, “How could you say such a thing?” Wait, did I say that? I don’t even remember. Seeing Vera silently crying and sobbing made my heart ache. I gently approached and hugged her tightly, but Vera pushed me away.

“Don’t do this…”

“Vera nuna, I love you.”

At those words, the hand that was pushing me away lost its strength.

“You don’t love me anymore…”

“I do love you. We did it this afternoon.”

Vera was the only one I had sex with in the past few days. We had even rolled around in the flower garden three times this afternoon. How could my penis have stood up three times if Vera wasn’t horny? Vera seemed to have calmed down a bit and buried her face in my chest. I could feel my shirt getting wet from the continuous tears.

“…Really?”

“Really. Can’t you feel how hard it is right now?”

I had stopped getting dressed, so my penis was still exposed. I hugged the soft Vera and rubbed my incredibly hard penis against her. Vera was quietly feeling the sensation, the heat, with her stomach.

“…Isn’t it because of Winnie?”

“I’m excited because of Vera nuna.”

“Heuk…”

Vera hugged me and started crying loudly. I was flustered because she was crying even more sadly after I said I loved her.

“Really… heuk. I thought… heuk… you were tired of me…”

I felt sorry and hugged her even tighter. It hurt my heart even more because she wasn’t angry and was just crying sadly. Vera had already lived a life where she wasn’t loved by Count Yulstein, so not being loved must have been an even more frightening fact for her. I could have known if I had thought about it a little.

“Heuk, eut? P-put me down.”

I picked Vera up as she was. I had to love her so much that she wouldn’t have such thoughts again. Winnie quickly moved away from the bed. I put Vera down as if throwing her slightly and took off her clothes. Winnie helped, so the undressing speed was very fast.

“Vera nuna, you know I really like you, right?”

“But, Winnie is watching…”

“What does it matter?”

“…You don’t have to mind me.”

She usually did it outdoors as if she was going to show it to the whole world, but why was she so shy just because one more person was added? I grabbed the ends of her hips and pulled her panties down, and the semen I had left behind stretched out like a thread.

“Didn’t you wash?”

“I washed. I washed… but I just didn’t take it out from there…”

Even more admirable. I thought I heard Winnie sighing next to me, but I ignored it and kissed Vera. Feeling the overwhelmingly large breasts that were different from Winnie’s, I slowly inserted myself.
