Nervan was a kind person.
Although it had only been three days since Rose stayed at the Duke’s mansion, he was friendly and polite.
“Does he… dislike me?”
Despite his smiling face, Rose could sense an underlying tension in Nervan’s smile.
Rose wondered if she had made a mistake or if there was something wrong with her behavior.
“I don’t seem to have made any mistakes… Specifically…”
Having never spent an extended period with him and not having committed any improprieties, Rose reflected on her actions.
Nervan’s smile deepened as he met Rose’s gaze, gazing silently at her with kindness.
With an unreadable smile on his face, he spoke to Rose in a businesslike manner, “Is there anything else you need?”
His brisk attitude made her feel uncomfortable for the first time.
Rose tilted her head and replied quietly, “No, I’m okay.”
“Then, let me take care of this.”
Nervan slowly picked up Rose’s empty plate. After that, he left the dining room with deliberate steps.
When Nervan turned around, his face looked oddly stiff.
“Could something unpleasant have happened?”
Despite finishing the meal, Nervan’s gaze continued to bother Rose.
“Maybe the term ‘parasite’ didn’t have any specific meaning.”
Perhaps Pin was suffering from parasites, causing Nervan to mutter to himself.
Rose had been considering that his actions were without malice, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something unpleasant had occurred.
Artem Duke’s voice reached Rose’s ears as she was lost in thought.
“Rose?”
“Ah.”
The Duke of Artem was staring at Rose intently.
“Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts during our conversation.”
Rose awkwardly smiled and hastily responded.
Despite knowing that Rose’s good mood was due to the recent acquisition of the department store site and not the business partner she met yesterday, the Duke’s feelings were complicated.
“Why couldn’t I concentrate so much on what you were saying? Surely… it’s not because I’m thinking about that guy I met yesterday?”
Although Rose felt a bit embarrassed about receiving praise as a genius for the first time in her life, she couldn’t deny that it wasn’t bad.
When Rose shyly smiled, the butler Nervan, who had been observing her, muttered in a chilly voice, “To boast about living like a parasite.”
Hearing Nervan’s voice, Rose momentarily doubted her ears. Judging by the Duke’s expression, it seemed like he hadn’t heard Nervan’s murmuring.
She turned her head to look at Nervan standing behind her.
“What? What did you just say?”
“I don’t have to worry about that. I have everything planned out.”
The Duke responded to Rose’s words as if he had been waiting.
“What plan is it?”
“I’ll tell you that day. It will be quite an interesting sight.”
Duke of Artem flashed a stern smile with his cold gaze. It was a gaze that never seemed to get accustomed to.
“By the way, the person you mentioned, is he really trustworthy?”
The Duke subtly inquired to dig into his information.
“Yes. You really don’t have to worry about that.”
“I still find it somewhat suspicious.”
The Duke didn’t yield to Rose’s words.
“I’ll accompany you next time. He won’t be able to trick me.”
The Duke’s hands, clasped firmly, resting on his knees, looked devilish. It was enough to make him a believable villain in a novel.
‘Exposing Gwyn’s existence wouldn’t cause the business to collapse, right?’
Rose pondered.
‘Gwyn worked for Viscount Wens for 30 years…’
It was inevitable that the Duke would hold some resentment since Viscount Wens and the Duke of Artem were rival families.
‘No, let’s talk about it. I can’t hide it forever. Anyway, once the department store opens, the Duke will naturally learn about Gwyn’s existence.’
It’s better to face the consequences sooner rather than later.
“If it’s okay with the Duke, may I arrange a time for us to go together next time?”
“Sure.”
It was a welcoming sound she had been hoping for. The Duke of Artem nodded with a smile of reflection.
‘Now, I can see what kind of person he is.’
And it was also an opportunity to give a firm warning.
Whose woman this was.
It could also show that the man Rose had in mind was him.
Rose was the owner of a beautiful appearance.
Her looks weren’t dazzling enough to captivate everyone, but she had a subtle charm.
Moreover, she was clever. The Duke thought that anyone engaging in a conversation with her would be inevitably drawn into her charm.
‘This might block any chance of making a foolish move.’
The Duke looked at Rose, sipping her tea thoughtfully.
‘She entered my mansion quite actively, pretending it was for business, but she hasn’t made any bold moves.’
The Duke of Artem was unaware that Rose had sought refuge in his mansion due to Eric’s visit.
Thinking that Rose had entered his mansion for ‘business’ because she wanted to be with him, he was under a misunderstanding.
Rose had caused him to lose sleep for the third night.
Sleep wouldn’t come. The thought that she might knock on her bedroom door was troubling.

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.]
