The jeweler, hoping to frequently see the lady of the house, kindly laid out the measuring tools on the table.
“Please, sit here comfortably.”
Hesitating, Clodel wasn’t dressed for bed but couldn’t walk to the table from the bed.
“Let me carry you over.”
As she looked unsure, Kyan gently lifted her and placed her in the chair.
The jeweler handed her a pair of thin white silk gloves.
“Please wear these.”
Clodel slowly put on the gloves. Her hands were so slender and small that even the slightly stretchy silk gloves hung loose, causing the jeweler to look perplexed.
“Ah, this is a first. I’ve never seen such slender fingers.”
The jeweler looked at Kyan.
“I’m sorry, but could you remove the gloves to measure? I need to touch the lady’s hand…”
“That’s not happening.”
Kyan’s voice was stern.
“I’ll do it. Just wrap the string around, right?”
“Yes, yes, that’s correct.”
He picked up a string cut to a specific length, wrapped it around Clodel’s finger, and tied it.
The jeweler quickly handed him a small pair of scissors.
“Cut a bit away from the knot.”
The measuring was done in an instant.
“I’ll do my best, my lord.”
As he was about to leave, Kyan spoke up.
“Wait a minute. Take something that needs to be fixed.”
Kyan spoke to Clodel.
“I didn’t think about it before. I gave you a gift that doesn’t fit.”
“What?”
“Your wedding night gift.”
At the mention of the wedding night gift, Clodel’s eyes widened. Kyan quickly noticed the awkwardness in her eyes.
“The jeweler said they could resize it. My mother was quite tall, so I should have thought that the ring wouldn’t fit you.”
“…The ring.”
Clodel muttered softly, seemingly reluctant to hand over the item. Kyan felt frustrated.
He needed to send the jeweler and everyone away to spend intimate time with her.
Having a pile of work in the afternoon, he was conscious of every minute.
“Hurry up.”
“No, it’s okay. Don’t fix it.”
“What?”
Clodel looked at him and said,
“I’m hungry. And a little tired too.”
“Ah… Alright. Let’s leave it at that for today.”
The bewildered jeweler quickly gathered his things and disappeared.
Soon after, the butler appeared with the servants carrying trays of food for Clodel and Kyan.
“The lady is eating better than before, I hear?”
The butler arranged the utensils in front of Clodel.
“I’ve told the kitchen firmly, so if there’s anything you want to eat, just let us know.”
“Thank you.”
Kyan’s gaze searched for Hanna.
That maid was very attached to Clodel.
How could they be alone when she didn’t want to leave her side, even for meals?
‘Where did she go today?’
She seemed to be near the door just a while ago.
Relieved that he didn’t need to make her leave, Kyan felt more relaxed.
“Go ahead and eat. Here.”
Kyan brought a spoonful of soup to Clodel’s lips.
“You know…”
“Uh-huh.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay to say this.”
“Go ahead.”
Clodel hesitated.
“My hands aren’t hurt.”
“I know that much.”
It was her leg that was injured. Who wouldn’t know?
Confused by his brief and assertive response, Clodel looked even more bewildered.
“Then why do you keep feeding me?”
“Well.”
Kyan couldn’t explain why.
At first, she was bedridden and hardly ate.
‘The condition is worsening. It’ll be terrible if she doesn’t eat properly,’ the doctor had warned.
Left alone, she didn’t eat well.
‘Eat.’
She would barely swallow when Kyan forcefully fed her.
‘Why won’t she eat properly on her own? It would save me this trouble.’
Meanwhile, it was difficult for him to deal with her unexpected reactions, but he found it strangely relieving when she obediently ate what he fed her.
How nice if she would listen like this in other matters, not just during meals.
“I’ll eat well. You don’t need to come specially.”
“You still have a long way to recover.”
“I’m not even in pain anymore. I took a bath yesterday. I even practiced walking this morning.”
Clodel looked prettier today, maybe because she had been eating well.
“Really okay? Not in pain?”
“Yes.”
She affirmed, clenching her fists and nodding.
“Then wait up for me tonight. Don’t sleep.”

Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
