Chapter 73
On the second day of the make-up class, it turns out that make-up is not easy.
At make-up school, Livia already has friends. So she really enjoyed it. She had been standing in front of the mirror for a while, looking at the results of her own make-up.
‘I must have gone crazy! Why do I want to show this make-up to Mr. Damian?’
Livia drove her vehicle after the make-up class. Her cell phone rang, and she pulled the car over. She worried if who had contacted her was Damian.
“Noah, why him?” Hesitating whether to answer until the ringing sound goes off.
Then the second call finally picked up.
“Hello, Sunshine.” A crisp voice that pretends to be familiar far away.
“I’m not your sun. What now?” She asked the purpose of Noah’s call directly. Their relationship was not that close to just asking how they were.
“Where are you? Can I see you? There is something I want to talk about.”
“About what? Just tell me here.”
The complicated relationship between Damian, Noah, and Helena, which Jenny shared with her at that time, made Livia cautious.
She didn’t want to get involved in it. Right now, her relationship with Damian alone is far more confusing.
“He wants me to love him. What for! I should have said I wanted him to love me. But damn, I don’t have the courage. If I answered I wanted him to love me, what would his reaction be?
Livia realized he was talking to Noah.
“Looks like I can’t just talk on the phone. I want to talk directly. Now it’s time for lunch too. How about I treat you to lunch.”
“Don’t want to,” Livia responded quickly.
“Hey, Sunshine, why are you so bad? What I want to talk about is very important, regarding my life and death.”
“If you’re dying, go to the doctor,” Livia knew that the man was playing. She could tell that Noah was a man who liked to joke in the first and second impressions. Well it’s been heard that he laughed there. “Come on, please, I’ll be waiting at the XXX cafe. I will wait for you until you come.”
Call ended.
“Why is he being like this?”
Livia threw her cellphone on the chair next to her. Then, holding the steering wheel of the car.
She didn’t want to come. But the threat of waiting for her made her uneasy. Also, what if Noah was really going to wait for her? ‘Damn, I’m definitely coming. Why would I become a caring person like this? Irritating.’
Finally, come.
Livia was already standing in front of a table, while the man who was always casual was smiling with satisfaction. His funny face and friendly attitude made him forgivable. Livia muttered, annoyed himself.
“Thank you, Sunshine.”
“It’s Livia! Call me Livia. L-I-V-I-A. I’m not your sun; I am the sun of Damian.” Livia got goosebumps hearing her own words. But her words managed to make a laugh in Noah’s mouth stopped.
The man was clearly stunned. Now his face looked serious. He called the waiter, then ordered the food and drink menu to drive away awkwardly. He offered Livia to choose the menu.
“I just chose the same menu.”
“Okay, just a minute.” The waiter nodded his head.
“Okay, now what? Why do you want to meet?” Livia sat down, placing her bag on the table.
“Today, it seems that you are much prettier than I remembered. Are you changing your appearance now?” Noah noticed Livia’s appearance. The girl he saw at the green lake as he remembered was not like this.
Livia fingered her hair. Right, this is the result of today’s make-up class.
“I’ve been like this for a long time. Although, when we had just met at the green lake, my appearance was different from usual. But usually. I’m like this anyway.” Smiling, hiding lies.
“Oh really. No wonder Damian is crazy about you. His wife is lovely.” “Noah, what do you want to talk about?” Livia ended her pleasantries. She wanted to get straight to the point.
Noah looked at Livia intently. Convincing himself that what he wanted to convey now was the right choice. This is his last promise to Helena. He will help. “Do you also love Damian?”
‘Also? What does that mean?’ Livia frowned.
“Like Helena loves Damian.”
‘So this is about Helena. Did she ask Noah to talk to me? I’m sorry, Helena, I don’t want to support you anymore. Jen had told me everything. And I choose not to support you now. Even though I will give up Damian if he comes back to you, I will not support you from now on.’
“Did you come because of Helena?”
The man couldn’t hide the truth. He looked clumsy.
“Helena loves Damian very much. Four years ago, they met.”
“I know, four years ago, they met at the green lake. It was a very meaningful place for them. It’s the same with you, who also considers the place important.” Jen’s explanation is exaggerated by reasonably adding a particular portion to Damian in Livia’s brief.
“You already know?” surprised by Livia’s answer.
“Jen has told me everything about the relationship between Damian and Helena. About their love and how they are together. I don’t know. I don’t even feel hurt or jealous. I was just happy because, at that time, Damian was with the woman he loved and lived happily. Yes, until Helena left Damian, who trusted and loved her so much.”
“But then Helena had her own reasons why she had to leave.”
“Reason? The reason he wants to be known for her own work. She doesn’t want to be known only as of the shadow painter of Damian. So? I don’t know. Maybe that reason does sound reasonable. But if I were Helen, then I wouldn’t just leave without permission. If I were Helen, I would definitely believe in Damian’s love, and I will beg him to let me go after my dream.
“Noah, will you also think like Helen or think like me?”
“What?” Noah was confused by Livia’s explanation.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Do you also think that Damian won’t let Helen go? If at that time, Helen begged, I’m sure Damian would allow her to go. Indeed how much distance must be covered? But Damian even has a private jet. So he can commute back and forth.” ‘Come on, Noah, realize that Helen has taken advantage of your kindness. In this case, she is the one who is at fault. Let her beg for the forgiveness of Damian. You or I don’t need to interfere.’
“Livia.” Noah didn’t expect it. Livia–the girl he met in the green lake would answer as intelligently as this. He thinks Livia is just an innocent girl who doesn’t know anything.
“But that’s the biggest mistake Helena has ever made, and she doesn’t trust a man who loves her.”
That’s right. This is the biggest folly that Helena has done to Damian. Stupidity that she had to pay a very high price for. She was not saying this to defend Damian. She just wants Noah to realize he’s been taken advantage of. This is all Helena’s fault. Let the girl plead for herself.
“Young Master, it seems that the young lady is here.” Brown showed a cellphone with a small glowing star. He glanced around the room . So is Damian. His happy face suddenly changed. He seemed to be clenching his fists in anger.
“Is he really cheating right now?” Damian asked Brown.
“That’s Mr. Noah.”
“Noah. What a jerk. What else did he do?” Annoyed, Damian walked briskly while Brown followed. Meanwhile, Livia put down her spoon and touched the nape of her neck.
“Why was the air suddenly so cold?” She mumbled softly.
