“A woman?”
Bake’s eyes slightly twitched.
Thankfully, I didn’t feel any particular agitation from him.
Rather, he just chuckled as if he had heard an unbelievable story.
So, I could gather a little more courage.
I opened the drawer of the vanity that I had closed and took out the earrings.
“I found the earrings.”
“This is…”
“Merial told me that you were going to give it to me as a gift, but I don’t remember receiving it.”
“Did you get upset because of this?”
Bake took the earrings from my hand with a smirk.
I looked at Bake, furrowing my brows.
“I wish you wouldn’t laugh and explain this properly. Is this a problem I need to worry about?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Really?”
“These earrings were a gift from a business associate. He told me to give it to you.”
“But why didn’t you?”
“It’s not your style. So I was going to get a new one with just the gem, but it disappeared. So I had the servants looking for it, but it seems it was here. Merial must have picked it up first.”
Bake took the earrings from my hand.
Even at that moment, the earrings were shimmering.
“Really?”
“Why would I, lie to you.”
Bake smiled.
I frowned, keeping a stern look in my eyes.
“I don’t mind if you have a mistress. But you can’t have a bastard. You know what I mean?”
“So, as long as I don’t have a bastard, it’s okay if I have another woman?”
The stare we shared made my throat dry.
But I tried hard to keep a calm expression.
“As long as my rights and Merial’s future are protected, I don’t care.”
“You don’t care? Are you serious?”
“Yeah. It’s okay. After all, everyone lives like that.”
“Do you really not care if I do that?”
“….”
“Riviana.”
“….No.”
I couldn’t win against my husband’s gaze and drooped my shoulders.
I tried to be okay, but I couldn’t.
“I’m glad you’re upset.”
Bake spread his arms and hugged me.
I tried to push him away, but soon I found myself resting in his arms.
“I’m angry and you’re laughing.”
“You’re jealous.”
“Do you like that?”
“You need to have feelings to be jealous. I’m happy about that fact. Being jealous means you have feelings for me.”
“….”
I looked at him squarely, then finally relaxed my eyes.
I wanted to trust him more than continue to doubt him.
Bake has been a good husband to me so far, and a good father to Merial.
“You didn’t want to marry me.”
“….”
“If it wasn’t for ‘that incident’, a lot would have changed. If it wasn’t for that, the person by your side now wouldn’t be me.”
“Stop.”
I lightly touched the back of Bake’s hand.
Only then did Bake realize he had made a mistake and laughed bitterly.
“I’m sorry. I must have been a bit sensitive.”
Bake sighed briefly.
And after pondering for a while, he finally opened his mouth.
“I know how pathetic a man sounds when he says this. I know you’re not that kind of person. But….”
“What do you want to say?”
“There’s a rumor that Duke Pieren is coming back.”
Bake, who had stepped back, had a dark expression on his face.
“Did you drink because of that?”
“….”
“Bake.”
“….I’m sorry.”
Bake hung his head low.
He seemed to be anxious, not just me.
I reached out and gently touched his drooping shoulders.
“The past is just the past.”
“….”
“What’s important is not what happened in the past, but the present.”
Like the fact that you’re my husband, and I’m your wife.
I gently stroked Bake’s cheek.
Bake hesitated for a moment, then looked down.
“….I was jealous of a woman that doesn’t exist.”
“You just admitted you were jealous, right?”
“There’s a joke that it’s strange for a noble couple not to have a mistress, but still, we’re a couple.”
“….”
“If you get another woman, of course I’d be upset and uncomfortable.”
I naturally leaned against him and overlapped my hand with his.
“I never dreamed you’d be the first to say you’re jealous.”
“What did you think I would say?”
“You’re the most rational person I know.”
“I’m just trying to appear that way.”
I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes.
I swallowed what I couldn’t say and closed my eyes briefly, then opened them again.
When I opened my eyes again, Bake was still looking at me.
“I believe emotions are one’s burden and weakness, so I don’t like expressing them.”
“We’ve been living together for more than a few years, don’t you think I would know?”
“Even so, you’re fine.”
“…….”
“You’re the only person who doesn’t feel bad even when I reveal my burdens.”
It took a tremendous amount of courage to say this, but it was okay.
In the awkward atmosphere, I forced a smile and hugged Bake.
“Our marriage wasn’t smooth, but we’ve been doing better than any other couple so far. I can’t even imagine life without you now.”
“Riviana…….”
“It’s embarrassing to say this, but marrying you was the biggest blessing of my life.”
Bake’s arm tightened.
I took a slow deep breath in the evershrinking distance.
The fastpaced heartbeat told me of the emotions he had for me.
That alone was enough.
He was the same person all these years, and would continue to be so.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
