Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas Chapter 161: Hah, a pipe dream

"We’re done, master." I heard April’s voice and nodded.

"Alright." I smiled at her. "Thank you."

I got out of the bathroom with the maids and then saw a box on my bed. I paused for a mont since it looked like an unfamiliar yet expensive jewelry box.

Who brought this here?

It couldn’t have been the maids because they were with in the bathroom. Then...?

I had two people in mind who could’ve left that there. It was either Min-Cheol, who liked to buy things, or Jin-Yeok who was the owner of the country’s most famous and expensive fashion lines.

Well, whoever it was, I’d know after opening it.

I picked up the box and opened it but my eyes widened when I saw a moissanite bracelet inside.

If my mory serves correctly, that was one of the jewelry Seo-Jun had stolen from us when we went shopping back then.

The one he so shalessly snatched from us.

Well, he bought it with his money but we originally decided to buy it and then he...

I quickly locked the box, my lips twisting in disgust. It was because I was just rembering what he said back then,

’I’ll probably just give a piece to each of them.’

I knew he was referring to the people he usually slept with and seeing this now just made it seem like I was one of them. One of his playthings.

I got upset, not even trying to think of any other reason why he might’ve dropped this on my bed. Or if he was indeed the one who dropped it.

But I was suddenly sure that it was from him when I got a little whiff of his scent from the box.

It was as if he had held on to it for so long while contemplating what to do with it. He tossed it from one hand to the other and then stared at it, still contemplating.

That was the image I got from the condition of the box and why it had his scent all over it.

It got even more angry to think that he had decided to give it to after contemplating for so long which plaything to hand the last piece in his hand over to.

I might’ve been misunderstanding it but what else would anyone have think?

That the Playboy, Seo-Jun, was not, in fact, contemplating which plaything to hand this to, but if he could hand it over to as an apology?

Hah, a pipe dream.

After what he did...?

He was definitely not planning to apologize.

I clenched the box tightly and then headed for the balcony.

"Master, your hair is still wet. You’ll catch a cold if you go outside." May said as she hurried after , but I ignored her, opened the balcony door, and raised my hand, ready to toss the box away, but for so reason, I hesitated.

I hated him. I hated that he always made a fool out of and this gift was definitely a mockery of my status, but why couldn’t I...? Why couldn’t I toss it out?

I trembled, biting my lips. I was pathetic at this point, wasn’t I?

I knew it was a pipe dream but what if it was indeed an apology?

That thought crossed my mind.

I couldn’t just rule out every possibility but the problem was, thinking it might’ve been an apology hurt .

I had given him ti to change. I had even given him a chance. I talked to him. I stopped ignoring him.

I didn’t want him to feel left out anymore for a brief mont and even planned to treat him like I did with my other masters if he didn’t do anything threatening towards before the end of the day but... He went and threw mud on my face as if he would never change his idea about .

To him, I would only be a slave who was trying to escape the duty I had been bought to carry out and was feeding out of my masters pocket for free.

To him... I probably wasn’t even worth thinking about.

If he did think of , it would be how to screw over.

So... That was why I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that this box of moissanite was dropped there as an apology.

It made teary-eyed.

Just what was I supposed to think from now on? What could I do?

"Master." April called and I turned around, heading back inside the room.

Whatever. I’d just keep it in a corner for now. I won’t wear it, no matter his intentions.

I threw it in my wardrobe and closed it but then I just stood there, my gaze down as I had a very ridiculous thought all of a sudden.

’Gold suits better.’

Seriously, what was I thinking? It was as if I was saying he could get sothing like the gold bracelet Min-Cheol got if he wanted to apologize.

That was just a crazy thought, wasn’t it?

I hadn’t even acknowledged it as an apology yet.

"Master, we need to dry your hair." Ember stated, her voice slightly trembling.

The maids looked rather worried. An expression I have never seen before.

Was it because I was quick to fall ill? Or because they had seen my helpless condition for so long that they sympathized with and wished I suffered no more?

Whatever the reason was, I was glad they were at least showing a bit more emotion on their faces.

"Alright. I apologize for making things hard on you." I said and

At that ti, I had no idea that my door was not entirely closed, and Seo-Jun was standing outside my door, silently listening with his head down, his arms folded, and his right leg on the wall.

He didn’t need to hear my thoughts for him to know the actions I took. He listened to the sounds alone and what I did.

And it surprised him.

’He didn’t do as I expected.’ he thought. ’T

Should I be relieved?’
