When Your Secret Crush Wizard Took a Love Potion - Chapter 98
His demeanor was so cold it felt like ice was forming on my tongue, let alone a language of love.
“Why are you entering someone else’s bedroom without permission?”
I was momentarily speechless but decided to apologize straightforwardly. Despite my apology, Edgar still looked quite upset.
“Would you behave this way even if it weren’t my room?”
At this point, I felt a surge of anger. Is it really necessary to be this sensitive about entering a bedroom?
Recalling how Edgar used to cling to me without a second thought, regardless of what I said, only made me more frustrated.
“…I’m sorry for coming in without permission, but is it really worth getting this angry?”
Edgar’s expression grew even colder. His eyes were as frigid as a winter storm, clearly indicating his genuine anger.
“…Alright. I won’t do it again.”
This time, I decided to yield.
“More importantly, take this potion I made. It’s highly effective for stomach issues…”
“I don’t need it. I clearly told you to leave me alone.”
Even so, there was no need to refuse so vehemently. His gesture for me to leave triggered the emotions I had been suppressing.
“What…?”
My heart and body have changed so much since then. Having experienced his love, I could no longer view Edgar as just an ordinary teacher.
Seeing him constantly retreat and wanting to escape after bringing me to this state made my heart ache.
I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
I could hear the sound of bricks I had precariously stacked collapsing.
“You’ve already done all sorts of inappropriate things to me! You were panting and rubbing your hideous, grotesquely large lower body against me while I was asleep. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?”
I blurted out my feelings uncontrollably, but as soon as I said it, I realized it was a mistake. Those memories were nearly buried between us.
As expected, Edgar turned as white as a corpse in front of me and muttered a genuine apology. He looked like he wanted to turn into a handful of ashes and disperse at that very moment.
“…How long are you going to keep this up?”
Before I could fully grasp my own feelings, a resentful question slipped out.
“You remember everything we did, don’t you?”
My words came out much sharper than I intended, fueled by my overwhelming emotions.
I wanted to have a calm discussion with Edgar. I was done with avoiding eye contact like someone who had seen something he shouldn’t have. I wanted him to answer how he planned to change our relationship moving forward.
“What do you want me to do? Pretend it never happened?”
Even as I spoke, I knew how absurd it sounded. We had already moved far beyond being just a teacher and student. How could things be the same after I had had s-x with someone I had a secret crush on?
Our relationship had crossed an irretrievable point after our affair in Visanto Village.
But Edgar’s response, given while he remained silent, was,
“If that’s what you want.”
It was a maddening answer.
I had completely forgotten that the potion had made Edgar unusually honest. He was normally someone who didn’t reveal his feelings easily.
Though he had been kind in his way, he always maintained a detached attitude, as if saying it was up to me how I felt. I even doubted whether real, red blood flowed under that handsome exterior.
“I…what right do I have? I…”
As I watched Edgar’s smooth forehead crease and his lips quiver in frustration, a new possibility suddenly crossed my mind.
Could it be that this man believed that if he just kept silent and acted as if nothing had happened, everything would return to normal? So he hadn’t said anything and remained passive, hoping that things would go back to the way they were before?
“Y-you’re really shameless…!”
He might not be able to directly say he’s sorry, but did he think that if he waited, everything would eventually be forgotten?
Is that how he planned to run away?
