“Why are you here?”
Startled.
Eric’s irritated voice rang in Rose’s ears. Cold sweat trickled down her back.
Turning away from her pounding heart, Rose turned her head toward Eric.
“Ah, you’re here?”
Rose tried to appear calm while hiding her confusion.
“What on earth were you doing here?”
Eric’s voice was sharper than before. Rose closed the window with a ‘snap’ and smiled at Eric.
“The wind was blowing so much. I thought I should close it.”
She was almost caught.
As soon as she heard the door handle turning, Rose scattered all the documents on the desk onto the floor and grabbed the window.
So that anyone who entered would just see someone closing a window, with papers scattered on the floor.
Rose was surprised to find that she had such quick thinking.
With a fastbeating heart, Rose looked at Eric with a clueless expression.
Seeing Eric, who was frowning at her, Rose’s lips went dry.
‘Will it work?’
Her fingertips were trembling. Rose hid her shaking hands by clasping them together and gave him a slight smile.
Her legs were almost giving out, but she thought that if she showed her panic here, it would arouse Eric’s suspicion.
Rose forced strength into her legs and spoke in a calm voice.
“All the documents fell. Let me help you.”
Rose reached out toward the documents scattered on the ground. Eric walked up to Rose in one step and strongly swatted her hand away.
Smack.
Eric strongly brushed off Rose’s hand.
“Oh, sorry. These must be important documents.”
Rose spoke as if she were surprised, holding her right hand. A chilling sensation from the back of her hand. Soon her hand started to swell red.
Eric sorted out the documents that fell on the floor and looked at Rose. It was just a slight push, but her hand was swelling red like that.
“Did you see?”
But what came out of his mouth was not a word of comfort, but a question whether she had seen the documents.
“The documents?”
“Yes.”
“No, as soon as I entered, all the documents fell, so I tried to close the window first.”
“Why are you entering my study without permission? What business do you have in the study?”
Although it was a suspicious situation, to Eric, Rose was nothing more than a foolish woman. Eric gave up his doubts and rebuked Rose for entering the study.
“I didn’t know I had to ask for permission. The butler said he told you and that I could come in and use it whenever I wanted.”
“He told me?”
“Yes.”
At Rose’s words, Eric frowned and asked again.
“The butler said that? I don’t know why he let you in here freely. He didn’t even ask me properly. It’s absurd.”
“Oh, I take my private lessons here. Didn’t you know?”
At Rose’s words, Eric raised his eyebrows.
Private lessons? Since when…
As he was racking his brains, Eric recalled a vague conversation with the butler.
‘The countess wishes to receive private tuition.’
‘Let her do as she wishes.’
‘Who should we call as the teacher? I have shortlisted some…’
‘Do it on your own. Don’t ask me for each and every thing.’
After that, the butler visited a few more times, but each time Eric raised his voice to him.
‘Do you not understand what it means to do it on your own?’
‘I’m sorry.’
‘Do whatever Rose wants, make the decision and handle it.’
Remembering the conversation, Eric sighed as if he had a headache. He thought there would be no one else here, so he left some documents here temporarily.
If Rose happened to have seen those documents, Eric thought, she might have read them. Because they were related not only to the former emperor and empress, and the Grand Duke, but also to Rose’s family, the Serviath family.
‘No matter how foolish a woman she is, I can’t leave this to her.’
“Next time, don’t even think about the study.”
He spoke coldly to Rose. Then, Rose felt anxious. If she couldn’t come here, wouldn’t she lose the opportunity to secretly look at those documents?
With large teary eyes, Rose spoke.
“But… Count. Where should I take my lessons from now on?”
At Rose’s feigned tears, Eric scowled.
He was somewhat susceptible to tears. Even after being harsh on Rosé, when she shed tears, he would end up surrendering and listening to what Rosé had to say.
Of course, this effect was very temporary.
Rosé forced tears to come out. She thought that, just like in the novel, Eric would respond to her tears.
“Ah… why won’t the tears flow?”
It was not as easy as one might think to drop tears, one by one, like a pitiful heroine.
“You…..”
Was the operation successful? Eric slowly approached Rosé, who was forcing out her tears bit by bit. Then, he took Rosé’s face in his hands and stared at her brightly.
“What did you eat wrong? Suddenly, the Duke. Call me Eric as usual.”
At Eric’s unexpected words, Rosé flinched. Thinking about it, the female protagonist used to call the duke, who was like an enemy, ‘Eric’ sweetly.
On the other hand, while reading the book, Rosé always cursed him as ‘the damn Duke,’ so calling him ‘Eric’ was not very familiar to her.
“E, Eric…”

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.
