CEO's Secret Husband
|13|. Don't Try to Fool

"En" Aldrich raised the tip of the index finger and put it in his mouth. Sipping its sweet blood was almost like the taste of cotton candy wine.

The deg!

Maribel's brown eyeballs squared in surprise to see the man sucking blood on his index finger. He felt it tickle a little and his face flushed hot. When he thought the man would wake up to throw his blood away. But what was surprising...

"You swallowed my blood?"

Aldrich smiled grinningly. Makes Maribel's heart tremble a little scared.

"It's time I told you what my identity is"

"..." - ".While waiting for her to continue the conversation, Maribel gulped bitterly.

"I'm human, but..." Aldrich rubbed the tip of the girl's index finger that still held the sticky residue from her saliva, "It's not entirely human like you"

'Not fully human?'

'What does that mean?'

Maribel was unable to shake the curiosity that filled her face covered in a look of tension.

"Because I'm..."

'I am what?'

'Why didn't this man just say it?'

Aldrich who seemed to be able to read his mind, laughed out loud.

Maribel looked down smiling in embarrassment, "Don't laugh. Quickly tell me what the hell are you?"

"Vampire"

"Whataa?"

......................

Sean was sitting in a large library owned by the private university where he taught. His presence always made some human girls there secretly steal a glance towards him. But when caught by him, they quickly looked down on the books at the table and others pretended to be serious about looking for books on the shelf.

It was so old, but its powerful charm was still capable of shaking their young souls. The good looks are still thick and durable. As a vampire, the elasticity of his skin is not easily wrinkled like humans. If it were not for the prevailing* alienation system and the prohibition on sucking human blood, perhaps their nation would have lived hundreds of years with timeless good looks.

Sean sat in the back row, taking the table with a position far enough from the location of the large window that shot out the scorching sun.

There he read, turning over each page with a serious look at every word listed on it.

In the silence of the library, he found his mobile phone in vibrating mode vibrating in his suit pocket. It continued to vibrate, making him stop the reading and pull out his phone.

He read the name on the screen, frowning.

It was a foreign number with no name. He immediately refused the call. But again the phone vibrated. Holding back in annoyance, he immediately picked her up, "Who?"

Without further ado Sean asked.

There was a voice across, "I'm Helio. Madam Belinda sent me here to take care of a few things"

"Shortly" Sean immediately took the dividing line of the buk and placed it on the last page of his reading.

Then he got up and went to the desk of the library clerk, "Please"

"Sir Sean, are you going to borrow this?" Ask the officer kindly. She's a woman in her forties who's already married. Even though he admitted how durable and handsome the man in front of him. But in her heart was still her beloved husband.

"En"

"Can give me your membership card"

Sean immediately pulled out his membership card, "This"

"Good, one second"

After taking down the name of the book and writing down some necessary things. The female officer smiled kindly handed over the book and returned her membership card, "For her return next Tuesday, sir. If need extension, please report"

"Okay, thanks"

Sean took the book and the card, then left the library.

Put his phone on the dashboard and put a bluetooth earphone on his ear, "Continue"

The call is still connected.

"Mr Sean, it looks like you have to pay my call bill" Helio's been waiting for so long. After a few minutes, think between ending the call briefly or not.

Finally it re-connects after ten more minutes have passed.

Sean who remained focused on driving smiled, "It's not that you're only on a short stint here. So it's okay to be extravagant. You can't make calls using this card at Merland anyway"

Helio gave up, what Sean said was not entirely wrong. He will only be there for a day and will continue to return to Merland.

"So, what did you call me?"

"Madam Belinda sent me here to take care of some things and His Egbert told me to take care of his long-dead black card to give to the crown prince. That's why I need your help"

However, it was the first time Helio had come to a human country. Unlike Sean who has lived there for many years. So the man must have understood.

"There again?" Although Egbert did not ask him to do so. Lastly he also remained the one who had to deal with it.

"Ah, madam Belinda also advised that I find a human servant who can be trusted to take care of the various needs of the crown prince—"

"I've done it"

"Goodoo. Have you also advised the crown prince to make a secret agreement with the servant first?"

"Already"

"Have you also directed him how to do it?"

Sean's stunned.

"Mr Sean?"

"Did the crown prince not know how to do it?"

"Of course not. The crown prince had never had the experience of binding such a blood covenant with a human being"

Sean instantly became complicated, "Hopefully he didn't do it wrong"

"What do you mean, Mr Sean?"

"It's nothing, just keep going. Is there anything else you need?"

......................

"No way" Maribel was still recovering from her shock. He sighed, staring in disbelief at the man in front of him.

Aldrich understood his reaction. After all, it will always be the most unreasonable surprise for humans after knowing it.

"It was clearly a mythological creature whose existence only existed in the world of films and novels. If this is just a joke, your jokes aren't funny at all" Maribel patted her chest softly. And so he remains very surprised.

Aldrich turned his lips upwards, smiling slightly. The attitude of the girl who refused to believe the information she said earlier, it was quite funny in her eyes.

"Your reaction is pretty normal, but that's the truth. So from now on, you have to keep this a secret or else you'll die"

Maribel's red lips immediately pouted, her beautiful face clearly displeased, "Don't joke. Tell me, what are you really?"

"Don't I just say that?"

"Don't make things up. You're telling me to believe what you said?" Maribel laughed funnyly, "Don't try to fool me"

His S2 master's degree would only be a joke if he were to just trust the man's ridiculous remark.

Aldrich's gaze immediately turned serious. He looked at Maribel inside. For such a stoic and stubborn girl, it seemed like she had to do something to make him believe.

*Exile system: a system (fictional in this story) that applies to vampires to isolate themselves from humans. The system was created to protect the existence of their nation that is almost extinct due to human cunning.

The system also makes them isolate themselves from the human world and move to a place that is alienated from them. From then on, instead of drinking human blood, they began to look for alternatives that were none other than animal blood.
