They would do their best to appear as an affectionate couple at any given moment.
They would not divorce until he received the title of Duke.
Upon receiving the title of Duke, they would divorce. And as alimony, Cedric would pay Lamein 1 million Seris.
“Is this okay?”
“Yes. It’s excellent.”
She replied in a businesslike voice to his businesslike voice.
“Then let’s sign.”
“Yes.”
Both of them completed their signatures on the two copies of the contract and divided them equally.
“Then I’ll go back to my room.”
Lamein, who had the contract in hand, stood up as if she had no more business to attend to.
“Do that.”
With no intention of getting up, Cedric watched Lamein begin to move, giving him a look that said she was going first.
.
.
.
Lamein, who had returned to her room, threw herself onto the bed.
And she began to read the contract she had unfolded in her hand.
“1 million Seris… What should I do with that money? I could buy a decent piece of land and build a building with that money, couldn’t I?”
Thinking about the money she had yet to receive, she started to weave a hopeful scenario.
“Should I give it to Seri? Or should I open a store?”
Lamein, who was tossing and turning, caught sight of the dresser in front of the window.
“Huh? Was there a flower there before?”
There were colorful flowers in a large vase on the dresser.
As she slowly sat up from lying down.
Knock, knock.
With the sudden knock on the door, she quickly pushed the folded contract under the blanket.
“Madam. You’ve returned.”
Jane came into the room.
“Yes, I just got back. Jane. What’s that flower?”
“I was actually coming to tell you. While you were in the reception room, Rodeil visited.”
“Rodeil?”
“Yes. It seems like a thankyou gift for what happened at the restaurant today.”
Lamein approached the vase.
A pleasant scent of flowers wafted into her nostrils.
A beautiful smile bloomed on Lamein’s face.
“I haven’t received a flower gift in a long time.”
She gently stroked the thin petals with her fingertips.
When she was a country doctor.
She had been treating a grandmother raising a grandson alone for a long time.
Having endured the pain alone for a long time because she couldn’t afford the treatment fee.
“Doctor, I’m worried about leaving my Jinwoo alone when I’m gone. I’m sorry to come to you like this, but could you please treat this poor grandmother?”
The desperate gaze of her looking at her as if she was the last light of the world still seemed noble.
“Thank you for making it possible for me to live with my grandmother.”
The child who used to pick wild flowers and give them to her every day.
In the small clinic where the sun was shining, there were always flowers picked by the child.
They were the most beautiful flowers in the world to her, who resembled the child’s bright smile.
“Thanks. For bringing the flowers too.”
Imagining Rodeil, with his large frame, picking each flower, she gently smiled.
“Jane. Go rest. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Yes, Madam.”
After Jane retreated, she stood by the window and admired the flowers for a while.
“Oh, I’m tired.”
She was naturally tired as too many things had happened since morning.
As she moved back to the bed, her gaze fell on the door of the study next to the wardrobe.
Remembering the book she had casually thrown on the desk in her rush to leave, she headed to the study.
The book and a picture of a child were still on the desk.
To my beloved Lily.
Lamein, who had read the letters in the picture with her eyes again, opened the book and put the picture in it.
And as she approached the bookshelf where the book was placed, she stopped moving as she was about to gently slide the book into the empty space.
“……”
Looking at her fingertips holding the corner of the book, she let go of the book.
“Wasn’t it this finger?”
The woman, tilting her head, started to inspect her hand, spreading it out completely, then began to examine the other hand as well.
There was no visible wound that had been scratched by the book.
“The wound was quite deep. There was even blood…”
No matter how much she looked, she couldn’t find the wound.
“It’s like a ghost is playing tricks.”
After scrutinizing for a long time with narrowed eyes, she gave up looking for the wound and turned her body around.
Thud.
At that moment, the handkerchief that was on the desk fell to the floor.
The handkerchief, with dried bloodstains still on it.
“I need to get some sleep.”
But Lamein didn’t see the handkerchief and left the study.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The sunlight pouring over the majestic mansion enveloped in greenery changed to moonlight.
Cedric is waiting for someone in a secluded place that can be reached only after walking for a while past the garden.
Whoosh.
The chilly wind blew past, and a dark shadow spread over the darkened ground.
“I pay my respects to the Earl.”
The knight, who appeared wearing a black cape, bowed politely.
“Sylvia. You’re late.”
“I’m sorry. The work took longer than I expected.”
At that moment, when the secretive whispers were going back and forth in the dark…
Rustle.
A small sound coming from somewhere made the two people standing facetoface scrutinize their surroundings with sharp glances.
A squirrel, coming down the tree, scampered off over the fallen leaves on the ground.
The space became so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed audible.
“Let’s begin.”
A glint flashed in Cedric’s eyes, revealed in the dim moonlight.

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.
