“……May I help?”
“Excuse me?”
“I can do that much too.”
“But…….”
As I purposely let my words trail off and blushed, Bake’s gaze intensified.
“We agreed to try, didn’t we? This is part of that effort.”
“……I guess it doesn’t matter. We are a couple after all.”
After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously nodded my head.
As soon as my response fell, Bake, who had been waiting, quickly came over and stood behind me.
Without avoiding the shadow cast over my head, I firmly clenched both my hands.
The glove brushing against the tender flesh of my shoulder was a topquality product so soft I worried it would melt away, and even the touch felt as if it hadn’t made contact.
But because of that, I felt twisted inside. It hit me anew that he had always hidden his dark intentions with such an attitude, deceiving both mother and daughter.
“I’m sorry. It’s not working as well as I thought.”
Whether I was tense, or there was another purpose, the necklace clasp didn’t fasten easily.
I exerted more force on my hand and forced out a voice. My insides twisted, but I had to endure now.
“It’s alright. Take your time.”
“Uh, yes. Just a moment…….”
Thud.
After a long time, the clasp finally clicked into place, but Bake didn’t remove his hand. Rather, the breath brushing against my neck felt closer than ever.
Should I stop, or should I endure a little longer? I loosened my hand at the sound of the man’s increasingly ragged breathing.
The necklace was now warm to my body temperature.
Knock knock.
Fortunately, the situation turned around before I could dry up.
I overlaid my hand on Bake’s hand that was distorting its expression.
“It seems urgent, let’s check it quickly.”
“…….”
“And, thank you for helping me.”
As I finished speaking, Bake couldn’t hold out any longer and backed away.
I watched Bake’s retreating figure as I once again tightened my hand at the man’s breath brushing past my neck.
“Duke, I apologize for the interruption. However, it seems you must be informed because the news is quite urgent.”
“What news is so important that it’s causing such a fuss?”
“That is…….”
Cepter, who was about to continue speaking, noticed me and hastily closed his mouth. But that was enough of an answer for me.
[This is the time separator]“That man. It was definitely Duke Pieren.”
“……Was it really him?”
“Yes. I saw it with my own eyes. And you saw it too. It seemed like he was hiding his identity.”
“……What difference does it make even if that’s true?”
“What do you mean it doesn’t make a difference?”
Margaret quietly sat in front of me. Her rolling eyes were constantly inspecting me, examining my reaction.
As she did so, I just lowered my head without saying anything else.
The gaze that had been watching me was now focused on the ring on my left ring finger.
“I made him unhappy.”
“It couldn’t be helped. You did your best. And above all, you’re regretting it.”
“…….”
“Think about it. This might be an opportunity.”
Margaret’s index finger lightly, very lightly, brushed past my wedding ring.
I slowly turned my head to look at her.
“Opportunity?”
“A chance to atone.”
Margaret’s voice, warm enough to make me wonder if there was warmth in it, was added to a gentle whisper that kept echoing in my ear.
Ever since I started to believe that I lost my memory, she has been shaking me like this.
I stared blankly at Margaret before shaking my head emphatically.
“Atoning won’t make things right. I can’t do that, especially not to him.”
“Viviana.”
“And he, he’s regained his position. Then, all the more, he shouldn’t be involved with me. He’s better off not knowing anything.”
I covered my face with both hands and shook my head weakly.
I did make a small gap by spreading my fingers slightly, but from this position, I could only see Margaret’s hand.
“So, you’re going to pretend you don’t know forever?”
“If I can.”
“…….”
But there was also a good point about only showing her hand without her face.
When Margaret felt psychologically unstable, she had a habit of rubbing her two thumbnails together. If I paid a little attention, I could easily understand her psychological state better than facing her.
“I’m not confident I can control my feelings when I see him.”
“But still…….”
“I just want to focus on rescuing my family right now. That’s the right thing to do.”
“Viviana.”
Her voice sounded worried, but she was rubbing her thumbnails together.
She was nervous. Lately, Bake and I had a lot of appointments with just the two of us, excluding her.
I suppressed a smile trying to emerge and lightly touched the gem of the ring.
“I want to hurry and finish my revenge, for your sake too, who is taking risks for me.”
“You’ve just awakened. I understand your sentiment, but it’s not good to rush. If you act impulsively, you might ruin everything.”
“It’s okay. You saw it. You see how smitten he is with me.”
“That is.”
“You told me. That day, the person who pushed me off the terrace was my husband.”
I lifted my head and looked directly at Margaret.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

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.]
