I Found a Husband When I Picked up the Male Lead - Chapter 19

Lizelle tried to cough and pretended not to know what happened.

I am not involved in this, so I didn’t even pick up his handbag.

“Oh!”

However, it was in no time, Lapel, who had slipped out of her arms, picked up the handbag. The jewelry on the handbag was reflected in the sunlight and was shining, catching the attention of the small boy. Lapel smiled innocently and came back running with the handbag.

“Lapel put that down!” Lizelle caressed her forehead because she felt like she had a headache coming.

She hurriedly took the handbag from his hand and tried to put it back on the ground, but the owner of the bag suddenly approached the two and bent down to catch the bag.

“Thank you so much!”

“Ah. No, I didn’t do anything!”

“If it weren’t for you Miss, my handbag would have been stolen!” said the woman, interrupting her.

“I really didn’t do anything. The criminal just fell on his own.”

The woman ignored Lizelle’s words and grabbed her hand.

The woman suddenly burst into tears as she thanked her.

“Really, how would you like me to repay this favor?”

No, why is this person like this? What’s wrong with her?

Lizelle pulled out her hand and waved in refusal.

“No! You don’t have to repay me. I didn’t do you any favor.”

As if she did not hear Lizelle, the woman who took the handbag opened it and began to search inside.

“I have to give my thanks,” the woman said with a solemn expression.

“Humph.”

Lapel was saddened to see the bag taken away from him in an instant.

“No, please wait-“

Lizelle pulled and hugged Lapel towards her and stared at the woman with a ridiculous expression.

The owner of the handbag with long elegant red hair seemed to be ten years older than her. The dress she was wearing was a plain light green color, but looking at the material, it was luxurious enough to recognize that it’s owner is a member of a noble family.

Now, if one person is a noble, shouldn’t they introduce themselves first then ask for my name? 

(Why does Lizelle know this as a modern person? Did she get Werazel’s memories? I don’t remember QAQ)

But the woman was only rummaging through her handbag without asking for Lizelle’s name and family.

She was a nobleman, but Lizelle couldn’t see a noble courtesy from her.

“Please take this!” The woman, who had been searching through her handbag for a long time, pulled something out.

On the woman’s hand was a pretty bracelet with colored gemstones. It looked expensive.

“Yes?”

Why are you giving this to me? 

As Lizelle lifted up her face full of questions, the woman smiled and pulled her hand.

“Please accept it. Please. It is because I want to repay your kindness even if it’s like this.”

“No, I have no reason to get this I-”

“Thank you so much! You’re accepting this, right? I will never forget your kindness! “The woman cut off her words again. Lizelle’s impatient eyebrows rose.

“No, look-”

“Thank you. Really!”

When she was about to say something else, the woman forced the bracelet on her hand and quickly went away.

She walked so fast she immediately disappeared among the crowd.

“What? Really…”

Lizelle muttered while looking at the bracelet on her hand.

What is this unpleasant feeling after receiving a thank you and a gift? 

Probably because of the attitude of the woman who left immediately as if she had completed a mission.

Although it looked expensive and was comfortable to wear, the design was not really good so she did not want to wear it.

Most of all, the attitude of the woman who left like that was very annoying.

“Lizelle! Star! Star!”

Lapel, who had been silent the whole time, pulled the hem of Lizelle’s skirt.

Lapel’s gaze was fixed on a star shaped music box. Lizelle took Lapel and approached the store.

The owner smiled and spoke as if he had been waiting.

“It’s the last one, so I’ll give you a discount.”

“How much is it?”

“Only 1,000 shillings.”

Lizelle immediately shut her mouth.

For 1,000 shillings, it was all she had. Spending this money would make her wallet empty. Without anything left in case of emergency.

I don’t think this is going to work. 

Let’s try to persuade Lapel to leave. 

But…

“Wow! It’s singing!”

When he opened the music box, Lapel clapped his hands, liking it immediately. A beautiful melody was flowing from the music box.

I liked the music very much. 

It was the first time I heard it, but it was a melody that somehow warmed my heart. 

“Lizelle…”

Lapel looked up at Lizelle with watery eyes.

Red and clear eyes were begging her to buy.

His sparkling eyes, both rabbit-like and cat-like, bombarded Lizelle’s heart.

“…”

“…”

“Give it to me.” Lizelle said. She opened her wallet without hesitation.

I don’t have the skills to resist this look. Even if I don’t have 1,000 shillings, I’ll try to find a way to buy it.

“Wow!”

When she saw Lapel delighted with the music box after their purchase, she felt like she had done a good job

Lizelle suddenly looked at the bracelet on her arm then at Lapel with a warm mother’s smile.

“How much will this sell for?” Lizelle’s eyes sparkled.

It looks like it’ll cost quite a bit if I sell it. It was not to her liking anyway and her wallet was empty. At this, Lizelle raised her head.

She saw a jeweler in the distance. Like a sign from heavens to sell it. Lizelle took Lapel and headed to the jeweler without hesitation.

A few minutes later, Werazel, who came out of the jeweler’s, said in a trembling voice.

“Huh, fake?”

Her face had a look of displeasure. She was dumbfounded.

I thought it would cost a lot, but the jewels on the bracelet on my wrist are fake.

In addition to the feeling of being fooled, the jewelry was fake and the design was not good.

Even the owner had an unpleasant attitude.

She couldn’t bear it so Lizelle sold the bracelet immediately. The fake bracelet’s price was not very much, but she still received 200,000 shillings.

This was enough for emergency money.

“Lapel, I’ll buy you everything you want. Let’s go!”

(Did she just-)

“Wow! Lizelle is the best!”

The two ate a bunch of sweet things as they wandered around the shops like kids.

“Yes. Did you deliver the good well?”

“The thing is,” when the cold voice asked for an answer, the man bowed his head meekly.

“What. You did not handle it properly?”

“No! I delivered it.”

“But why is your answer like that?!”

Crash.

The glass thrown by the employer was smashed on the floor with a loud noise. The man trembled in fear.

The mission was carried out properly, but the problem was after that.

It is obvious that he’s gonna get angry again, but I have to report it.

The man swallowed and opened his lips, trembling with fear.

“She sold the bracelet…” The man murmured.

The employer shouted angrily.

“Speak loudly!”

“She sold the bracelet she got to the jeweler!”

There was a momentary of silence.

The employer’s mouth was wide open, as if he could not believe what he just heard.

“As soon as we handed over the bracelet, she sold it to the jeweler.”

It was amazing. When he was ordered to deliver the bracelet made by a popular designer to a woman who enjoys luxury and vanity, he thought that was it.

What was in the bracelet again?

It was a bracelet made with a magic sphere. It had a monitoring function that his employer can activate and allow him to see the surroundings of the person wearing the bracelet.

And she just… sold it? 

“It’s really unexpected… I’m sorry.”

The man kneeled on the floor as much as he could to not offend his employer.

“Hahaha!”

A laugh burst out from the employer’s mouth.

This crazy woman foiled my plans even if I gave her a nice bracelet.

You traded nicely gifted bracelets for money. I knew you were greedy, but I didn’t know you’d hit the back of my head like this.

The clenched fist of the employer trembled.

“Get it back now!” He shouted.

“Yes, yes!” the man trembled in fear and escaped. There was a feeling of his blood rising to the employer’s neck. The sapphire embedded in the mask was shaking in anger.

“Hazen. You have to go.”

“Yes sir.”

Oddeye’s eyes, filled with determination, shone brightly as if he would surely carry out the order of his employer.

Meanwhile, Lizelle, who knew nothing, was ringing a golden bell in the store with Lapel.
