“I’m sorry. I invited you, and this happened.”
“It’s okay. Oh, next time, I’ll invite you.”
“······Sure.”
For some reason, Kate seemed embarrassed, so Alicia smiled softly.
When they had met at the garden party or during joint training in the square, the way Kate treated Alicia was like night and day compared to back then.
At that time, Alicia couldn’t have imagined having a conversation like a friend with Kate, who used to argue with Eric because of him.
‘Could we become friends? Jenah would be surprised, wouldn’t she?’
Thinking inwardly, Alicia glanced at Kate, who was walking beside her.
But Kate seemed lost in thought, with a slight wrinkle between her brows.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.”
“Oh. Do you know Chase Spencer?”
“As childhood friends, I know him reasonably well.”
“How is he?”
Alicia smiled hesitantly at Kate’s question, unsure of the meaning behind it.
In fact, Alicia couldn’t clearly understand what Kate was asking.
“Whatever answer you’re looking for, Chase is a good friend.”
“Hmm.”
Kate clenched her fist as if deep in thought.
“Isn’t this, without a doubt, a setup?”
“A setup?”
Alicia, surprised, looked at Kate with widened eyes.
“What do you think? Do you think he and I would get along? Honestly.”
“Um.”
Chase and Kate.
They might get along, or they might not.
‘Come to think of it, what kind of woman does Chase like?’
Now that she thought about it, she had never talked about relationships with him.
She had never heard about him liking someone, meeting someone, or dating.
“I honestly don’t know. But meeting wouldn’t hurt. Then you could find out, right? Whether you’re a good match or not.”
“How about you? Did you meet and find out? Are you a good match?”
“Well, [dash].”
Alicia smiled after briefly contemplating.
When they first met, she hadn’t considered whether they were compatible or not.
Still, if she had to say, their opinions on the contract were in perfect harmony, so maybe that counted.
“It seemed to fit well. From the beginning. To each other.”
“Aha. Truly unlucky.”
“Oh, really? I thought I was lucky.”
“······.”
Alicia responded with a smile, looking at Kate with an incredulous expression. Eventually, Kate joined in the laughter, and it was quite hearty.
“Ahem.”
Then, Kate, surprised by her own laughter, cleared her throat and returned to her usual expression.
Although she was forced into this situation, Kate had no intention of treating Alicia kindly now.
Not knowing if showing her true self from the beginning to Alicia made her feel more comfortable or not, Kate didn’t even think about it.
‘I never thought I would get entangled with this woman in this way.’
Despite that, feeling not so bad, Kate bid farewell with an embarrassed smile.
“Goodbye, then.”
“See you later.”
“Whatever.”
Kate said somewhat indifferently, but only after watching Alicia ride away in the carriage did she enter the mansion.
Kate, pushed by the Viscount, finally faced Chase and sat down.
‘Father must be really tired.’
Thinking so, Kate, without saying a word, lifted her teacup and slyly observed Chase.
Constantly chuckling, it was unclear what he was thinking, but Kate guessed that Chase wouldn’t readily accept this courtesy from her father.
If he were sincere, Chase wouldn’t have treated Alicia with such a meaningful look in front of her.
‘Certainly, it must have been difficult to refuse the story of being a superior’s daughter.’
Understanding Chase’s position, Kate had no intention of getting involved with him.
At this moment, this man and she were not people who had crossed paths with Alicia and Eric.
For Kate, it was truly a situation that hurt her pride and made no sense.
‘A peculiar combination.’
Smirking, Kate put down her teacup.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
“Because it’s funny.”
“What’s funny?”
“Right now, we’re sitting face to face.”
“?”
“The appearance is quite funny.”
“······.”
Kate looked at Chase straight in the eyes.
“Do you like Alicia Lancaster?”
“······.”
“Love and a cold can’t be hidden, they say. It’s quite obvious now.”
“Is it Lord Russell on your side then?”
“······.”
“You can’t hide it, that’s what they say. It’s evident from your expression now.”
“······.”
“The appearance is funny, so I speculated. That’s all. The flow of the conversation is like that now.”
“Even if it’s so obvious, you still have to speculate? How lacking.”
“Ah.”
Chase chuckled at Kate’s jab.
“Since when was it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your liking for that man.”
Asking openly, Kate frowned.
“······Quite a while. What about you?”
“It’s not just quite a while. It’s been a long time. Most of my life.”
“······.”
“Did you give up?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
