I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 82

[I know it doesn’t make sense, but do you think my sister’s ability might be good luck?]

Despite the huge party in front of him, all he could hear was what Xavier had said.

‘Leticia’s ability is good luck?’

He already knew that Leticia had awakened, but he hadn’t found out what the ability was yet. Nevertheless, Levion wasn’t in a hurry because it was only a matter of time until he found out.

However, he never imagined that he would find out this way.

‘I have to meet Leticia right away.’

Levion quickly went in search of her. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he found her as she entered the banquet hall. She was talking to Enoch, and then he walked away.

He didn’t want to miss this chance, so Levion quickly approached Leticia. However, she felt his presence before he could speak and she turned around.

“What is it this time?”

She wore an expression that said she was uncomfortable with even looking at him. Levion bit his lip as he became angry at the horrible treatment he was receiving.

Leticia sighed as she quietly watched him.

“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll be on my way.”

“It’ll only take a moment…”

“Are you that desperate for attention?”

As she was about to turn away, Levion tried to talk to her. However, Leticia cut him off, as if she didn’t even want to hear them.

“It’s not as hard to ignore you as it used to be.”

“….”

A calm voice that spoke matter-of-factly, without a hint of doubt.

Levion felt suffocated by her dismissive attitude. He wanted to cling to her just to make her angry.

“I, I mean…”

He had something to say.

As soon as he faced that emotionless gaze, his mind blanked out, and he stammered.

He barely managed to calm down, and get the words out.

“Sorry.”

She was the apple of his eyes.

But Leticia just stared at him silently. Levion felt apprehensive about her appearance, and his words gradually increased in speed.

“I’m sorry I ignored you, and made you feel pathetic. I regret what I did and I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection.”

“….”

“I won’t make any excuses because it’s all my fault.”

He apologized and hoped that his heart would be conveyed to Leticia.

However, she didn’t even pretend to listen to him. Rather, she showed signs of discomfort at his intense gaze.

“I don’t think that’s something you should be saying right now.”

Leticia neither accepted, or refused the apology, and just turned away. As she started to move away, Levion grabbed her wrist to stop her.

“Wait!”

“Please stop.”

Leticia glanced around at the people around them. Then nobles were curious about what the two, who’ve already broken off their engagement, were talking about.

However, Levion was too distracted by Leticia to take notice.

“Be honest. Is your ability really good luck?”

“….”

He couldn’t work up to asking about the main topic, and had to just ask her. Leticia didn’t answer this time, and just looked down at the hand holding her wrist.

‘That’s right.’

Leticia smiled bitterly and bit her lip.

As soon as she accepted that her ability was luck, the first thing she realized was how it affected her family.

Everything that Seios had said was true.

Her mother, who was diagnosed as being too weak to conceive again, gave birth to four more children. Her father’s business, which was on the edge of ruin, flourished slowly after she was born.

Leticia felt hopeless at the truth she was faced with. In the end, there was no reason for her to have been abandoned by her family. It was highly likely that she’d awoken before Diana was even born, it was just an ability that was invisible to the eye.

It took her a long time to accept this fact. She felt better after she admitted it to herself, but the bitterness didn’t disappear so easily.

“I’m asking, is your ability good luck?”

Leticia couldn’t even laugh as his hand squeezed her wrist urgently. Then she suddenly thought of something.

‘Maybe it’s because of my ability that he awakened.’

A long time ago, when she thought that neither of them had awakened, Leticia had made a suggestion to Levion.

[Hey, why don’t you try working with your body instead? Maybe you should try using a sword or a bow instead.]

Maybe it was just a coincidence, but now that she thought about it, she didn’t think it was.

‘I really…’

She’d endlessly given everything she had to the people around her.

That didn’t mean she wanted to get back as much as she gave. She was just confused when she thought about her family, who took her for granted and abandoned her as useless.

‘But if they knew what I was capable of.’

She didn’t know when the day would come, but she thought it would be best to take measures in advance.

However, there were some things that needed to be sorted out first.

“Is that why you’re apologizing?”

“What?”

“Because you think you’ll get something out of me if you apologize?”

“No, I am…”

“I knew it.”

There’s no way that his pride would allow him to apologize.

She didn’t even think that his current apology was sincere. When she confronted him with the fact that he really wasn’t, he felt his heart sink.

“It doesn’t matter if my ability is luck or misfortune.”

“Leticia!”

“Nothing changes.”

For her, or for him.

After saying that, Leticia quietly lowered her eyes.
