How soft her voice was.

‘Even if I remarry and have a child, I will raise them well.’

Once again, I see a hopeful future for my husband.

Too much had happened in one day.

I’m so tired that irritation is uncontrollably creeping in.

I think about just ignoring it and moving on, but then she’ll only get worse.

‘Okay. Don’t get irritated; match her level and teach her well.’

Lamein, calming her irritation and adopting a solemn expression, turned her head.

“Jane. Roberto. Please clear the way for a moment.”

She decided to consider Elina as much as possible before starting.

As Jane and Roberto left, Lamein looked straight at Elina.

“Elina?”

“Huh? Why?”

Elina, who had only been looking at Cedric like a sunflower, turned her head.

“So what do you want to say?”

“…What?”

“You keep saying that bad things happen when you’re around me lately. So what do you want to say?”

Lamein pushed her eyelids tightly.

“Lamein. Why are you being like this to me all of a sudden?”

“What have I done?”

“You’re scolding me right now.”

“Why does it seem like I’m scolding you?”

“…What?”

Elina looked at Cedric with bewildered eyes.

“Cedric. Lamein is…”

Just as she was about to say something weak again,

Clap! Clap!

Lamein clapped her hands very loudly.

Elina, whose eyes were wide open, stopped talking and looked at Lamein.

“That’s right, look here.”

Lamein, who had called Elina like the dog next door before my possession, took a deep breath.

“You’re talking to me now. Do I have to teach you this?”

“What? Lamein! What are you doing?!”

Finally dropping her pretense of weakness and opening her eyes wide, Elina looked at Lamein, who wore a clear smile on her face.

“That’s right. That’s how you do it. If you want to communicate something to someone, look at them directly and speak.”

“…”

“We’re adults, you know. We’re not of an age to hide behind someone and pass on messages. You surely know that?”

Normally she would already be clinging to Cedric and whimpering, but she only twitched her tightly closed lips and said nothing.

“I won’t ask if it’s okay with you. But you mustn’t make such strange excuses.”

“…”

“What you just said to Cedric is like you getting caught in the rain while walking, then seeing a child with an umbrella and saying that it rained because you had an umbrella.”

She explained the nonsense in words very carefully matched to her level.

Elina’s face twisted so that she couldn’t speak.

“And if you’re going to say something like that, you need to know who you’re talking to.”

“What do you mean?”

“Cedric is my husband.”

Lamein blinked as if to emphasize.

“He’s the one who will believe my words first, no matter what you say.”

“…”

“The man who vowed in front of the marriage oath to devote everything to me for the rest of his life is Cedric.”

Elina again only twitched her lips and said nothing.

You understand? Lamein, who had been making an impassive face, regained her composure.
“Elina. I’m sorry, but if you have nothing more to say, I’ll go back to my room.”

Without intending to hear the reply, she turned her head to Cedric right away.

“Cedric. I’m so tired. Can you take me to my room?”

The man who had just heard the oath earlier couldn’t refuse her request.

“I’ll do so.”

As soon as Cedric’s anticipated words flowed out,

Elina turned sharply with a very cheap expression and left her seat.

Lamein was staring intently at Cedric, who was watching her silently.

“Cedric.”

At Lamein’s call, Cedric quickly took his gaze off Elina.

“Let’s go to the room.”

“I’ll do so.”

As Lamein, who was heading for the room, slowly opened her mouth,

“I have one favor to ask you.”

“What favor?”

“No, rather than a favor, I’d like you to make a promise.”

Instead of answering, Cedric blinked slowly.

“Divorce with me…….”

At the sudden mention of divorce, Cedric stopped walking and looked around.

Lamein, who had also stopped walking, faced Cedric squarely.

“Please continue to talk.”

Cedric narrowed his eyes slightly, concentrating on what was coming next.

“If you don’t want to divorce me right now, just make one promise.”

“What promise?”

“If you say you won’t keep this promise, whether you get tricked or not, I’ll divorce you right away.”

What the hell is she trying to get a promise for?

“No. Let’s write what I’m saying now in the contract.”

A condition stronger than a million Seri?

Like asking for land. Or this mansion. Is it something like that?

She’s so extravagant that it’s getting a little unsettling.

“This is not for me, but entirely for your sake.”

“I understand. So what the hell is it?”

In frustration, Cedric asked hurriedly.

“Let’s write in the contract that Elina can never be your remarriage partner.”

“……What?”

Huh. Cedric spat out a hollow laugh in disbelief.

“You can’t absolutely have Elina as a remarriage partner!”

More determined than ever, with a firm gaze and firm voice.

Cedric’s eyes slowly twisted, as he stared blankly.

His wife is worrying about his remarriage.

Not just remarriage, but even the remarriage partner.

“Is there nothing else?”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Shouldn’t we write in the contract where I should live after remarriage, or how many children I should have, or whether I should keep a dog or not?”

“You should consult with your wife then.”

She answered very neatly.

“So you want to divorce me like this?”

“Cedric. Then are you saying you’ll remarry Elina?”

“Lamein. Wait. Just wait!”

His head felt like it was about to break.

“Of course I know what feelings you had for Elina. But in my opinion, it’s not Elina.”

“What are you talking about?”

He asked, propping his temple with his hand, and raising only his pupils.

“You don’t have to pretend you don’t know. I know that you had Elina in your mind.”

“Where did that come from?”

“……What?”

Lamein blinked her eyes quickly.

“I don’t know why you suddenly associate me and Elina. It seems like you’re mistaken.”

“Mistaken?”

Cedric, who had been pressing his forehead, looked her straight in the eye.

“I never had the feelings you speak of for Elina for a single moment.”
