She quickly tried to move her foot buried in the dress hem, but it was no use.
The fluffy floor, not a speck of dust in sight, was suddenly rushing towards her face.
Another faceplant was about to happen.
Anticipating her future a few seconds later, she shut her eyes tight when.
A strong force tugged at her wrist, and she felt as if her body was floating.
“……!”
A strong sensation of an arm wrapping around her waist came with a strange scent that filled her nostrils.
‘…Huh!’
Lamein, who had popped her eyes open, screamed silently.
‘He’s too close.’
Cedric’s face was at a precarious distance where a slight movement might cause their lips to overlap.
Her heart, which had started racing the moment she lost her footing, was accelerating.
His solid male torso was closely pressed to her chest, where the breath she had swallowed and couldn’t let out was lodged.
“Oh my! Are you okay, Lamein?”
Elina, who had stayed in place, cried out.
“Ah, ah! I’m okay. Cedric, it’s okay now, let me go!”
Lamein called out urgently.
‘I’m not used to this situation! Let me go quickly!’
If she stayed in this man’s arms any longer, it felt like her heart would burst.
“Cedric. It’s okay now……”
As she was about to continue, something in her man’s eyes made her swallow her words.
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’
His eyes were swirling like beautiful blue seawater under a clear sky hit by an untimely typhoon.
‘Is…is he angry?’
Was it because she almost fell?
That moment, as she was looking at him in confusion.
“Lamein. Why on earth……”
His harsh voice, coupled with his warm breath, covered her lips.
The palpitations of the man’s heart pounding in the chest pressing against hers was starkly perceptible.
Does he think she’s trying to cause a problem again?
“Cedric. Don’t misunderstand. I just stepped on my dress.”
Seeing all the watchful eyes, she whispered instead of shouting.
“So let me go now. I can’t breathe.”
She was suffocating, what with the tight dress and his arm around her waist.
At that moment, something flickered in Cedric’s eyes.
“Lamein. Are you alright?”
Only then did he release his arm around her waist and quickly straighten his upper body, which had been pressed against hers.
Freed, Lamein took a deep breath.
“I’ll say it again, don’t misunderstand. This was just an accident.”
It felt ridiculous to be explaining herself in such a situation, but she had to make it clear.
“I won’t misunderstand.”
But why was he looking at her like that?
Instead of answering, he just curled one side of his mouth.
Elina and Killian were watching them.
“Thanks to you holding me, we must have looked very affectionate. That’s good.”
Lamein said, conscious of their gaze, her eyes filled with warmth.
“I guess so. Let’s go.”
The man she thought would play along turned stiff and turned away quickly.
Then he walked away at a very fast pace.
‘Why is he going so fast?’
Watching her step so as not to step on her dress, she followed him.
As Lamein was walking, looking at the back of her retreating husband, she tilted her head.
Not only his ears but also his neck exposed above his shirt was tinged red like the color of her dress.
‘Is he really angry? But why?’
A man hard to understand, even when you think you understand him.
‘Well, what do I care?’
She thought back and realized she never really knew him anyway.
A man she was going to divorce someday.
She quickly cleared her mind and walked with a calm expression.

Elina’s room.
Killian and Elina sat across each other at the table where the gifted pie and tea were placed.
Killian, who had sipped tea and put down the teacup, blinked slowly.
“Elina. What are you thinking?”
Elina, who seemed to be lost in thought with a serene expression, widened her eyes.
“Ah. It’s nothing.”
“It’s not nothing. You’ve been looking upset since earlier?”
Elina slowly opened her mouth under the scrutinizing gaze of Cedric.
“I’m actually worried.”
“Worried? About what?”
“It seems that Lamein is still not feeling well.”
Killian, who had been watching closely, squinted gently.
“Seeing her nearly fall earlier, it seems she hasn’t fully recovered.”
“Elina. Haven’t I always told you? You’re too kind, that’s the problem.”
“What’s the problem again?”
Elina smiled shyly.
“Do you not know what kind of person Lamein is?”
“Killian. That’s a misunderstanding. Lamein wouldn’t have had bad intentions. And it might not be Lamein’s fault.”
“Really? How should I explain all these strange things happening since Lamein came?”
Killian spoke with a fierce gaze.
“Lamein must have been confused by the sudden marriage. It would have been nice if Cedric had been more considerate to someone who came to a strange place.”
Elina trembled her eyes sadly.
“I feel sad seeing Lamein, who is already lonely, not feeling well.”
Killian, who had been looking at her gently, slowly squinted one eye.
“I saw her a while ago and she didn’t seem that way at all?”
“Killian. What are you talking about?”
“Cedric seemed to be treating Lamein very affectionately.”
Elina blinked her wideopen eyes slowly.
“Cedric seemed to have changed, like when Lamein fell into the water last time.”
“Killian. It’s only natural for anyone to help someone who’s fallen into the water.”
“That’s true.”
“If I had fallen into the water, Cedric would have jumped in too.”
Killian nodded as if he agreed.
“Or else it couldn’t be helped. I thought there might have been a change between the two while we were away from home.”
“What could have possibly changed.”
Elina, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, swallowed her breath slowly.
“I think I need to make an effort too.”
“What kind of effort are you talking about?”
A deep smile spread across her small, red lips.
“I need to try to get along better with Lamein from now on.”
