Chapter 443
Cillian looked worried. "Have you always taken care of yourself like this? Don't you know that even things that hardly ever happen can still happen?" While they talked, Yitty's finger was already wrapped up with a band-aid.
Yitty stared at the new cartoon band-aid on her finger and could not help but be amazed. "Why do you have band-aids with you?"
"Is it weird?" Cillian was picking up the broken glass on the floor. "I didn't mean to bring it, but now I think I'll have to carry band-aids with me all the time. Maybe I'll need to bring extra, just in case someone gets hurt and doesn't know how to stop the bleeding."
Touching the band-aid on her finger, Yitty felt like the band-aid was fixing more than just her cut-it was like it was mending something inside her too. The floor was nearly clean, but the red wine spill needed mopping.
"Hey, where are you going?" Yitty caught Cillian as he tried to leave. "You can't go out. You have to stay here with me."
Yitty could not hold back any longer. She and Cillian had cleared the air. She was not about to miss this chance to be alone with him. "Cillian, you're not going anywhere. Stay here with me..."
Her playful antics left Cillian torn between laughter and exasperation. He kept his chuckles hidden deep inside. "Why do you want me here? Didn't you just tell me to go away?"
"I was just mad, you know that. Don't act like you don't get it."
Yitty yanked him onto the couch, sat down right next to him, and clung to his arm. She did not want to let go.
Cillian, caught between fondness and resignation, gently patted her head. "I was only going to ask the downstairs maid for help. The room's a mess with all the wine you spilled.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"We need to clean it up now or it'll be a bigger problem later. I'm not going anywhere."
Cillian's words calmed Yitty's jittery heart. She was most scared of him leaving without a word.
"I thought you might..."
Cillian understood her fears all too well as he watched her mood plummet.
That was how it was after a few drinks-any little emotion got blown out of proportion. Yitty had been happy because she and Cillian had made up and decided to stick together for life, which was all she ever wanted.
However, the mere thought of him leaving sent her into a deep panic.
What if it was all just a dream?
"Hey, don't worry, I promise I won't leave you."
Cillian wrapped his arms around the vulnerable Yitty. They shared a moment so sweet it would make anyone else jealous.
That was when Lucy walked in. The door was slightly open, and the sweet smell of wine drifted through the crack. Lucy was worried that Cillian was not able to stop Yitty from drinking more.
Could all that drinking end up causing real trouble?
The moment Lucy pushed the door open, she caught a glimpse of two people almost kissing.
Lucy gasped. "Eyes away from the scandal, eyes away!"
She quickly shut the door and called out to the two inside, "I swear I didn't mean to barge in without knocking Yitty, I was just worried you might still be drinking and Cillian couldn't stop you, so I came in. It was an accident!"
Cillian and Yitty, who had jumped at the sudden interruption, quickly stepped apart. Once they saw it was Lucy, the little scatterbrain who had stumbled in, Cillian reassured her, "No worries, Lucy. Come on Yitty's not drinking anymore."
