“But even if I looked back on my old life, including the past, there was not such a man. Of course, there was a person who was similar in color, but I’d never been attracted to him. Even if I looked back on it slowly, there was no man I was attracted to, so don’t worry.”
She was going to say that there was only Asher, but when he heard the answer, his expression was subtle. He didn’t look very happy. ‘Why?’ She called Asher’s name to wonder, and he sighed with a hard face.
“… I thought about it, but I’m not happy to hear it.”
“What…?”
“I think there were other men you met. You said you lived until your mid-twenty and came back to the past. You are so beautiful now, and I cannot imagine how beautiful you were, who was an adult… They wouldn’t have let such a beautiful lady alone.”
Then Aria closed her mouth, realizing that she had made a little mistake.
‘Did I talk about comparing Asher with other men who had gone by myself?’ If Asher had been involved with other women and had brought it out of his mouth, she would have been concerned and would feel bad.
But Aria, who had already lived in the future, knew that he had no more woman but Isis and that he did not have a good relationship with Isis, so she told him about her male bias without paying attention. The atmosphere rapidly cooled down, and Asher hastily excused the apologetic Aria.
“I don’t mean to be accusing you of your past or to be angry with you for it, but I just… I regret that I didn’t meet you at the time.”
“That’s because… I was a very stupid and wicked woman. A vulgar villain who dared not see the Crown Prince… I met someone who was at the right level with me.”
“Don’t express yourself that way. You just didn’t have a good time, a person, and a situation.”
Then he frowned a little and comforted her, even blaming himself for saying that unnecessarily. It was because Aria described herself as stupid or wicked.
“I just told you… I hadn’t given my heart to any of the men I had ever met in the past. Just like other young ladies, those were relationships that had passed by. I only met them at a party and talked to them.”
“You only talked to them… If that was the case, then I guess I might be worrying in vain.”
He was still jealous, but when Aria’s story repeated, his expression relaxed a little as if he were relieved. However, it was not Aria because it had not been over with just a talk.
She had been a little bit of touchy with those men in the past after having several drinks, and sometimes she had had a little bit more than a touch. Of course, she hadn’t had a serious situation, but she remembered that she had acted in a manner that was vulgar. She was guilty of lying and corrected what she said earlier.
“Well… come to think of it, I did not just talk to them.”
“Then?”
“… I can say there was some touch…”
Asher’s expression grew serious again at the word ‘touch’.
“How much touching was it? Did they hold your hands or put their hands around your waist?”
It was kind of an intimate touch if they were close. Aria shook her head when he gave a very light example.
“… A hug, then?”
When she firmly said no, Asher’s words shortened.
He looked uncomfortable. She had experienced more than a hug. When she could not answer, worried that he might be angry, Asher, realizing that she had done a deeper skinship, closed his body to her as if jealous of the unnamed men, and the actions she would have done.
