Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

CHAPTER 23: THE MAN WHO DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO SMILE



Sophie’s POV

I’ve been staring at Vincent since we rode the Ferris Wheel. He said this is also the first time that he got to go to an amusement park. And that makes me think that we somehow have the same past. He did mention that he has an older brother, I wonder who that is and what kind of person is he. Are they the same? Is he a pervert like Vincent? Is he a mafia boss too?

I’m so curious.

I wonder what kind of family Vincent came from and what lead him to be like this.

Now that I’m looking at him, somehow, I can’t even see a tinge of happiness in his eyes. I haven’t even seen him smile. I wonder what he looks like when he smiles genuinely.

“Fantasizing me inside your mind?” he suddenly said.

“W-What? Are you a fool?!”

He smirked. “I think it’s enough for today. We already rode everything here.”

He was about to start walking away but I immediately grabbed him by the hand to stop him. He looked at me. “What?”

“We haven’t tried the other booths yet.”

“Huh?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I want to play those.” I said as I pointed to the booth where people are using water guns to shoot the cans and they’ll get a huge teddy bear if they did. “I want to get that teddy bear.” I said with a huge smile on my face.”

He shrugged. “Let me just buy you one. We’ll buy something that is much bigger than that.”

“No, I want that one.” I insisted then I dragged him towards the booth. “Let’s play it, V!”

His brows furrowed. “V?”

“A-Am I wrong? That’s the first letter of your name, right?” I almost whispered.

A small smile appeared on his cold face but it quickly disappeared. “Alright, just call me V.”

“Okay…” I said. Then I suddenly realized that I was still holding his hand. Although he seems not to mind it since he was busy looking at the people playing in the booth, I let go of it feeling the heat on both of my cheeks.

“Get out of my way.” Vincent said to the people playing there.

My eyes automatically widened and even the people there were surprised and looked so terrified. I tapped him by his shoulders. “T-That’s not how you approach them! You should wait until it’s our turn!”

“But they already left anyway.” He said then he stood up near where the guns were.

I just heaved a sigh. This guy doesn’t really know the word patience.

I took one of the water guns and was about to start shooting when I just heard Vincent shooting already. I looked at him and I was surprised when I realized that he was able to shoot all of the cans already. Even the woman who watches the booth got surprised. “Now give me that teddy bear.” He said with a cold voice to the woman.

“Y-Yes, Sir!” the woman said as she took the teddy bear and handed it to me.

I looked at Vincent. “H-How can you even do that?”

“I was able to shoot one of my enemies at a distance of 3, 550 meters before so this distance is just–”

I quickly covered his mouth. I looked at the woman. “Hehe… thank you so much for this teddy bear…”

I dragged Vincent away from that booth while I was still covering his mouth. I just got startled when I suddenly felt his tongue on my hand. “W-What the!”

“Huh?” he said, pretending to be innocent.

“W-Why did you lick my hand?! You’re gross!” I said while wiping my hand.

“Because you covered my mouth.”

I glared at him. “Because you were saying inappropriate things in front of that woman! What if she finds out that you’re a mafia boss?”

“So, you’re worried about me?”

“O-Of course I am not! I-I just think that she might get scared if she knew.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Everybody knows that I’m a mafia boss. I don’t even care if they know.”

I sighed.

How can I even go with a man like this?

He’s even proud to tell everyone that he’s a mafia boss.

“Let’s play the other games.” He suddenly said.

“Huh?”

“That one.” He pointed to a booth where people were trying to catch a fish from a huge aquarium. They were all using a small thing that looks like a net although the center of it was quite soft, making it hard for someone to catch any fish unless you’re fast. Vincent walked towards that booth.

I followed him. “V-V d-don’t try to shoo them all away again, okay?”

But then even if he didn’t say anything, the people there automatically made a way for him. Vincent looked at me. “See, I didn’t even do anything.”

Maybe because his own existence is just as intimidating as the way he looks at me. He was so tall that he was towering us all there. I just watched him as he started trying to catch a fish. During his first attempt, he wasn’t able to catch anything so he tried again. But still, he didn’t catch anything. He tried ten times but he didn’t get any fish. “This game is quite hard, right?” I whispered.

“Sophie.”

“Huh?”

“Hold my jacket.” He said as he handed me his leather jacket.

I stared at him, puzzled. “W-What are you going to—

“Give me those damn nets!” he yelled to the woman giving the nets.

I almost laughed.

He just won’t give up, huh?
