The Villainess is Tired of Everything

Chapter 34

Darcy stared intently at Marceau.

‘I thought I had returned for your sake, but here you are, reaching out to me.’

An unexpected wave of emotion washed over him at her suggestion—something akin to joy or euphoria. It was a strange feeling, having someone genuinely care for him for the first time in his life.

‘Happiness.’

As he pondered the word, which had always felt so distant from him, the only image that came to mind was Marceau’s face.

The Marceau in his thoughts and the Marceau standing before him began to merge into one.@@novelbin@@

Simply looking at her made his body heat up. Her face, which had always been lovely, seemed to shine with a new light.

‘I want to touch her, to feel her closer.’

He wanted to hold her outstretched hands tightly, to press his lips against the ones that spoke for his sake….

‘What am I thinking?’

Darcy’s thoughts jolted him back to reality, and he swallowed hard, feeling as if the air had suddenly become stifling.

In an attempt to find some relief, he undid the top button of his collar, which had been tightly fastened for the sake of maintaining a perfect appearance.

As he took a slow, deep breath, Darcy finally registered that they were both lying on the same bed.

The implications of a man and a woman being together in bed flashed through his mind all at once.
