off a cliff

chapter 1

After getting engaged to Ryan Joe.

I gave his brother a birthday gift.

Ryan said no one in his family likes him.

Especially his brother, Leon.

They think he's a jerk and he's always fooling around.

When Joe told me about these things, he couldn't help but had his eyes turn red.

He said that his greatest wish in this lifetime was to be recognized by Leon.

After we got engaged...

When he heard about Leon's birthday.

He asked me to prepare a birthday present for Leon.

Originally, it should have been Ryan who sent out this gift in person on that day.

I waited until the banquet was over.

Ryan didn't come.

It was almost 12.

I went over to Leon and gave him the gift.

Leon raised his eyebrows, surprised.

I lowered my head and said, "This is a gift from Ryan for you,Mr.Joe.”

Leon opened the box.

"He's really different after getting engaged. He even knows to give me a present," Leon said with a light laugh.

I pulled my lips up.

I didn't know what to say.

He put the box back and smiled at me. "Thank you, I love it.”

I heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say goodbye to Leon when I saw a goblet falling from the sky and smashing right beside my feet. I looked up in shock - Ryan, who hadn't shown up all night, was leaning against the railing with a lax expression. His right hand was placed outside the railing and still maintained the posture of throwing something.

Leon and I looked up together.

He smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't hold it steady.”

Leon frowned.

I said, "Sorry, I'll go up and take a look."

He nodded.

I lifted my skirt and walked up the stairs.

By the time I got upstairs, Ryan was no longer there.

There are a great many rooms in Ryan's house, and I can't just push the doors open to look for someone either.

I sent him a message: "Which are you ?"

Ryan didn't reply.

While waiting for his reply, servants kept coming over, wanting to take me to our room.

I lowered my head to look at my phone which had no message reminder for a long time.

I sighed and sent him one last message: "Then I'll go back first. Let's talk tomorrow."

Originally, I was supposed to stay at Ryan's house tonight.

But Ryan didn't reply for no reason, and I was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

After all, apart from him, I'm not familiar with anyone else in Ryan's family.

Ryan's message box remained silent as before.
