My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 118

“So, if I may say so, would you kindly return my wife to me soon, Earl?”

Harold sank deeper into the sofa backrest with a hollow chuckle, amused by how confidently Frederick demanded as if Lily were his personal possession.

“Anyone would think you’d left her in my care.”

“I never did, but I suppose it unintentionally turned out that way.”

Frederick smiled just as he had when first greeting Harold.

“Therefore, I’d like to take my wife home now.”

His lips curved in a smile, but his eyes—visible through the clear glass—were as deep as the darkness staining the world. He was serious. Frederick had truly come here to take Lily away.

“Well, that’s not for you to decide, but for her. After all, she stays here by her own will.”

“Which is precisely why I’m requesting you, Earl, to return my wife to me. I hope you’ll tell her it’s time to return home.”
