I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 11

****

*Few minutes before Leticia gave Enoch the bracelet.*

"Don't be nervous and do well."

El, who had followed Enoch to cheer him on, said while lightly grasping Enoch's hand. Enoch laughed at El's somewhat tragic expression.

"If anyone saw you, they would think you were going to take the test, not me."

"It's probably because I'm nervous. Anyway, just go and do your best. You definitely have to do your best. And ..........."

El shook her head with a pensive look on her face in the middle of her sentence. Ian, who thought why suddenly his confident sister looked like that, however, he too, had a troubled look on his face and only touched his neck.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Enoch asked his siblings.

"It's a gold thread bracelet." El replied.

"Ah...." Enoch said.

That's what it was.

It's a superstition that good things will happen if you wear a bracelet made of woven gold thread, so everyone participating in this entrance exam wore a gold thread bracelet.

Enoch looked casually down at his empty wrist and patted El on the head.

"I already have good luck with your wish." Enoch said.

El and Ian were sorry that they didn't have the golden thread bracelet that was supposed to bring good results to give to their brother.

But Enoch told Eel and Ian not to worry.

"I'll do my best this time."

He had finally passed the candidate exam, which he failed so many times before, and now there's only the official entrance exam left. He had to pass unconditionally in order to recover the lost status of his family.

It would be a lie to say if he didn't feel pressured. But Enoch didn't have time to sit back and resign.

With a heavy sigh, Enoch looked around surreptitiously. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see the person he was waiting for.

˜She won't come, will she?'

He was worried about whether he had put too much pressure on Leticia. But soon his worries vanished when he encountered Leticia.

Leticia handed something out to Enoch with a bright smile.

"You can take it if you like?"

It was none other than a gold thread bracelet.

It was a handmade gold thread bracelet, one could not obtain it from anywhere else.

Enoch tried to refuse it, but Leticia smiled and put the bracelet directly on his wrist.

"It looks good on you. I wish you the best of luck."

Leticia's gorgeous pink hair swept against the wind, and Leticia smiled as she gently tucked her hair back, keeping her eyes down.

Enoch couldn't take his eyes off the image before his eyes.

"Thank you."

Enoch smiled smoothly, looking at the gold thread bracelet on his wrist.

It was nice.

***

After the entrance exam, Levion, who didn't go back home but unexpectedly visited the Leroy mansion.

Marquis Leroy, who had just returned to the mansion from his long business trip, was puzzled for a while, but he smiled and greeted Levion.

"Well done, Lord Elle."

"Thank you, Marquis."

Although the results of the entrance exam had yet to come in, Levion's ability was in swordsmanship, so there was no doubt that he would pass the exam.

"I hope the food is to your liking."

"Yes, it's good."

People conversed as they ate, but Leticia just nibbled her food quietly.

Then she felt a glance from somewhere, and when she looked up, her eyes met Levion's.

However, something seemed wrong.

˜...?'

A cold look.

At that moment, she felt cold, as if a cold winter wind swept through her body.

˜What is it?'

Somehow, it didn't feel good. She wanted the meal to end quickly and be excused. Suddenly, Levion spoke.

"Leticia, may we have a cup of tea in your room?"

"What?"

"I have something to say."

Everyone's attention was drawn to Leticia, who nodded obediently, perplexed.

After the meal, they were alone in the room. Leticia grabbed her hands tightly and glanced at Levion.

˜Has there ever been a time when things were this awkward?'

They had been together since they were children. When neither of their abilities was awakened, the time they had given to encourage and comfort each other was longer, and more exceptional than the others.

But the atmosphere right now was more awkward and cold than ever when it was still just the two of them. Unable to bear the heavy silence, Leticia took a sip of her tea.

At that moment, Levion p, who had been watching Leticia, slowly opened his mouth.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"..."

Leticia widened her eyes and asked. However, Levion's expression began to harden. It seemed he was somewhat angry.

"You ask because you really don't have anything to say?"

"Yes..."

"You sent Diana to tell me you couldn't come, but it seems you have time to fool around with other men."

"What...?"

"We haven't broken off the engagement yet, but you're already flirting with other men."

"Brother, watch what you say. Don't insult me."

"..."

"I'm sure I told you to make an effort to awaken your ability when you have free time."

As usual, he was not done with the dialogue of the day.

And as usual, Levion could only think sternly, "What are you doing, not making an effort to awaken?"

Leticia took a long exhale to calm herself down and said,

"Please tell me how. How do I do it?"

"Do I have to explain word by words while you just sit and watch?"

"Then brother also knows that you and I are different, don't you?"

The descendants of the Leroy and Elle families were born, raised, and awakened with abilities. If there was a difference, it was that the Leroy family awakened with a lot of unique abilities, while the Elle family mainly had abilities in terms of academics and knowledge.

"But you can't just sit still."

"What do you want me to do when you don't even try to help?"

"Leticia!"

"Tell me! Tell me how I can wake my ability up!?"

The moment she raised her voice, Leticia felt her eyes burning.

She didn't want to be angry now, nor did she want to cry.

"Please go back."

"Leticia."

"It's very hard for me to be with brother."

This situation was so painful and difficult that the sound of her voice ended up drooping.

Leticia, who was tired, stood up and left the room.

She didn't have the confidence to face him any longer.
