My Fiancée Hates Me novel Chapter 83

A long time ago, I gave up my book to King Arundel as a way he could make up to his distant son who also loved books. King Arundel ended up giving the book to Garett who dressed up as Prince Erik for whatever reason. Garett accepted the book as it was the only thing he ever received from his parents, but he knew that it never belonged to him, so he could never bring himself to read the book no matter how much he loved reading books.

No wonder the book I gave to King Arundel ended up with Garett...

My heart was filled with terrible grief and sorrow so much that my eyes continuously dropped tears, expending all of the fluid in my body as if my entire body wanted to weep with Garett.

In my blurred eyes covered with tears, I saw Garett awkwardly smiling as if I was the one who needed comforting.

"Why are you crying so much?" Garett asked as he wiped my tears with his handkerchief.

This person had no one else who would cry for him. I wanted to be at least cry the tears of a hundred people for him.

"...It must have been very lonely," I said.

Garett pulled me into his chest and hugged me tightly.

"For the time I did not have you by my side, it was really quite lonely," Garett said.

In my first life, Garett was accepted into the Royal Castle as Prince Erik's cousin for a short while, but he was forced out because baseless rumors of me and his infidelity erupted throughout the Castle making it difficult for him to show face. He worked so hard to get accepted but had to leave right afterwards.

Garett lived a lonely life and ultimately died a lonely death in my first life all because of me.

I felt sorry that I could not be there for him in my first life with him.

I redeemed myself a little in this life, but how did Garett feel when I constantly flaunted my feelings for the person who was the main cause of his trauma? Was he disgusted with me? Did he hate me then?

"...I am sorry that I could not have met you sooner," I said as I rubbed my eyes with my hands.

"You really are too kind," Garett said as he caressed my head. "Let me admit an embarrassing secret..."

"An embarrassing secret?" I asked.

"...I was a little jealous when I heard that guy got engaged to you, so I dressed up as him and planned on saying horrible things to you when we first met, but then you one upped me and said everything I was planning to say," Garett said as his entire face turned red.

"When Prince Erik pushed me into a fountain, that was you!" I said in surprise.

"...We had switched places a few times before. That was one of those times...While I was with you, he was in my bed sick at the time," Garett admitted with a very shy facial expression.

I chuckled.

"...A little jealous? Does that mean you liked me before then too?" I asked.

He turned his gaze to the side as if he was being shy.

"Of course, I was jealous, I was the one who saw your marriage painting first," Garett said shyly.
