‘Knowing how thorough Cedric is, he wouldn’t let the divorce be jeopardized because of a mishap on my part.’
I thought about telling the maids to take it easy but then decided against it.
What kind of day was today?
Not only was one of my death flags disappearing, but it was also a day I was promised a substantial alimony – a day of celebration for me.
‘Well then, I might as well dress up more splendidly.’
As I pondered whether to celebrate with champagne upon my return, the long and tedious dressing session finally ended with the pink diamond earrings, matching my red hair, being put on.
Admiring my beautiful reflection in the mirror, Mina entered the dressing room.
“Lady Vi, the reception room is perfectly prepared.”
Typical of Mina, but today she seemed to have worked especially hard, her face flushed with exertion.
“Thanks, you’ve worked hard.”
My usual words made the surrounding maids’ eyes widen.
They seemed surprised that Rebecca, known for her madness, would speak so kindly to a mere maid.
Mina shyly smiled and gave a ‘see, I told you’ look to the other maids.
I chuckled softly, watching Mina, and then whispered to her.
“I’m thinking of going for a walk.”
“Now… a walk?”
Mina looked puzzled, tilting her head.
Then she met my firm gaze and continued.
“Then I’ll prepare for you to go out right away.”
“No, I’m going alone today.”
I planned to head to the Glass Garden under the guise of a walk.
Since the divorce had to be kept a complete secret for a while, I couldn’t have even Mina accompany me.
Glancing at the grandfather clock in the corner of the dressing room, it was already thirty minutes before the appointed time.
‘It’s better to arrive a bit early.’
As I walked out of the dressing room and down the central staircase, Mina followed with a worried look.
“Lady Vi, you’ll really… really be back soon, right?”
Her overly anxious reaction was a bit strange, but I casually dismissed the oddity.
“Don’t worry. I’ll finish everything perfectly and be back soon.”
After patting Mina on the shoulder a couple of times, I descended the stairs lightly.
The meeting place, the Glass Garden, was located behind the twin mansions.
“Tomorrow, we sign the divorce papers.”
Yet Cedric just quietly looked down at my lips, which were emphasizing the word ‘divorce.’
“……You’ve truly made up your mind.”
“Of course. I told you not to worry. I’ll leave for the dark mansion and ensure that you won’t have to see my face anymore.”
“…….”
“Tomorrow everything will be completely over. Just as you always wanted.”
And as I wanted.
With one of my death flags resolved by tomorrow, I smiled with a sense of relief.
Watching me, Cedric blinked with a subtle expression.
He then looked down at the envelope in his hand and murmured softly.
“As I wanted…….”
He couldn’t still be doubting my sincerity, could he?
To reassure him, I spoke again.
“As promised, let’s meet at 3 PM tomorrow in the Glass Garden. Don’t forget to bring the divorce papers.”
At my composed words, a small ripple crossed Cedric’s blue eyes.
The next day.
For some reason, the maids dressing me were busier than usual.
It was like watching salon workers diligently preparing a client who was invited to their ex-boyfriend’s wedding.
I worried they might have discovered the divorce but…
‘Knowing how meticulous Cedric is, he wouldn’t allow the divorce to be jeopardized due to a mishap on my part.’
I thought about telling the maids to take it easy but then decided against it.
