How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 69: First Love Story

Claudia was still curious about what her husband wanted to talk about, so she asked him to go to the balcony area where people couldn’t just step on it. Even Harris doesn’t have access to it. While the dance party was still going on, they sneaked out onto the balcony so as not to be caught by everyone. Because Harry really hated the little things he did, then everyone made a fuss about it.

For a moment, Harry led his wife to sit on a long bench. He was very sensitive to his wife’s feet getting sore from wearing high heels.

"You can take off your heels if you feel your feet hurt."

The first time a man was sensitive to her, Claudia smiled shyly until her cheeks turned red. "I don’t feel sore."

"You wear heels all day and it must be very sore. I don’t want your heels to get scratched because of pride."

"But-"

"Should I help you take it off?"

Claudia immediately took off her heels. She admitted that her feet were very painful and even her heels were a little sore. However, she tried to endure the pain and soreness before being scolded by Harry.

"Are you satisfied?"

Harry pursed his lips as he looked at his wife’s face which was getting sweeter in his eyes, making him even more addicted. If time could be stopped now, he would take the opportunity to enjoy this rare moment even longer.

"It’s unusual for you to invite me to chat with just the two of us," said Claudia nervously.

"I want to reveal my secret now."

Actually, what was going on in Harry’s mind that made him take the initiative to tell another secret without being asked?

"What else are you hiding from me?"

"This time I want to tell you about my first love."

Talking about first love stories, does Harry mean his first love is Vivian? Actually, Claudia didn’t really care about Harry and Vivian’s love story, which ultimately ended in failure. However, why did Harry suddenly want to tell his love story? Is it related to Clarissa’s story about rejection of love in the past?

"So, I’m not your first love," said Claudia in an annoyed tone.

"Are you jealous?" Harry smiled a mischievous smile.

"I’m jealous. Actually, who was your first love, it makes me curious now. Is she beautiful? Is she more perfect than me?"

Harry let out a mischievous laugh seeing his wife’s brutal jealousy until her cheeks turned red. "I didn’t expect you to be jealous to such an extent."

"After all, I didn’t expect you to have time to look for a beautiful woman to date. Even though you are the busiest man in the world."

"Clarissa never told you? The reason I rejected her was because of what?"

"She said you were already in love with another woman." Claudia raised her right eyebrow. "Who is that woman that you have the heart to reject Clarissa?"

For a moment Harry took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "She is a cheerful woman and managed to lift my spirits. When I was at my worst, she comforted me. "Actually, the main reason I can dance is because of that woman who taught me to dance at the masquerade ball."

Even though Harry had just started telling the story, Claudia suddenly felt her head dizzy. Several memory scenes appear showing Claudia as a teenager attending the masquerade ball party. At that time, teenage Claudia met a masked man and they danced in the park. At first the man was a little stiff in moving his legs, but in the end Claudia taught him with patience until it became smooth. That’s all the memory gets there. Claudia shed tears while looking at Harry. Could it be that that man was Harry? Because part of Harry’s story earlier was very similar to her memory.

"Can you continue telling the story until it’s finished?"

"In fact, I think you should hear it."

*****

Eight years ago...

At that time the masquerade ball was being held for teenagers from noble families. The rules of this masked dance party are very simple. Everyone must not remove their masks until the party is over and must not reveal each other’s names. If a woman and a man dance with each other, then it is very likely that they will match each other in the future.

At that time, Harry was in quite a difficult problem. Harry had just returned from a military base, his parents encouraged him to continue his education. However, Harry refused his parents’ wishes. In his teenage years he seemed to shine in everyone’s eyes, but actually he didn’t feel happy. Everyone supports him just to use him.

Harry attended the dance only to be forced by his parents to find a mate, especially since in the past Harry preferred to study and spend time alone. Since this masquerade ball was very unpleasant for him, he walked out from the venue to get some fresh air.

In the middle of his adventure around the park, he saw a girl who was looking at the sky lit by the full moon. He wondered what the girl’s purpose was in being alone? In fact, all women must immediately scramble to find a mate for the sake of the future. Does this girl have the same goal as him?

In the end Harry approached the girl in the pink mask. He stopped in his tracks at a garden gazebo, standing next to the girl.

"What are you doing?"

The girl smiled faintly. "I’m getting some fresh air and waiting for the fireworks show."

"Aren’t you dancing?"

"I’m more interested in seeing fireworks than dancing with a guy I don’t know." The girl looked at Harry’s charming appearance from head to toe. "You don’t dance yourself?"

Harry exhaled roughly. "I don’t feel like dancing."

"Why?"

"I... feel like everyone is playing around all this time. No one defended me. Every time I have an opinion, they always disagree with my opinion. Then, my friend at the military base also betrayed me. Even worse, people think I’m a monster, not a human. That’s why I’m traumatized and don’t want to trust anyone anymore."

The girl grabbed Harry’s hand. "Then believe in yourself. You’re not a monster, you’re human."

Harry raised his head again confidently. "You were telling the truth just now?"

"Of course, I’m an honest girl as is. I’m also experiencing the same thing as you. Moreover, I have many enemies. Even so, I still love myself."
