Slowly opening her mouth, Lamein looked at the unshaken Killian.

“I don’t know what Ellina said. I’ve never thought my behavior was wrong.”

“…….”

Killian’s eyes slightly wrinkled.

“I rather think Ellina’s behavior is more wrong.”

“What’s so wrong with Ellina’s behavior?”

Looking at Killian, who asked in a toneless voice, she let out a short sigh.

Does he really not know? Or is he pretending not to know?

“A person who sticks her nose into everything like an angel, not considering people’s feelings, dragging things her own way.”

“…….”

“Should say things she shouldn’t, hiding behind an innocent pure face. Making people feel strange with an expression like she’ll cry if you take issue with it, do you think that’s normal?”

Killian was silent, perhaps recalling Ellina’s actions.

“I’m not so nice like the men in this house. I can’t just watch that.”

“Is it not just because you are that kind of person?”

A provocative word came.

“What do you mean?”

Lamein pushed her eyelids firmly.

“That you, Lady, who have been full of rumors even before entering this house, would say such a thing. I don’t understand.”

Although he said rumor, the man’s expression was firmly unpleasant, believing it to be the truth.

Lamein slowly opened her twitching eyelids.

“Killian. Have you seen it?”

“…….”

“I don’t know what the rumor you heard is. Have you seen me act like that?”

Her sharp voice caused Killian’s tightly closed lips to twitch.

“Of course not, but…….”

“Then why are you so certain?”

“…….”

“You’re saying that, without confirmation in the rumors, I’m that kind of woman. That all my actions and words must be treated that way.”

Dismay began to spread over silent Killian’s face.

He seemed not to expect to come out like this.

“Honestly, I don’t care if you, Killian, hate me.”

You’ll just be a stranger once we divorce anyway.

“But hearing this from you, not someone else, it upsets me.”

Let’s discuss what needs to be discussed.

“Truly. Can you swear on your heart that you’re concerned about Ellina?”

She pushed her chin up slightly, looking at Killian’s darkened face.

“Lamein. What do you mean?”

“It doesn’t seem that way.”

Killian’s eyes slowly twisted.

“I’ve seen it.”

“…….”

“I’ve seen it clearly with my two eyes.”

She looked straight into the eyes of the rigidfaced man.

“If you care for Ellina that much, instead of coming to me…… no. How about taking care of your precious Ellina when you have time to meet other women?”

For a moment, Killian looked as if he’d been hit in the back of the head with a stone.

Lamein’s eyes flashed sharply, capturing that fleeting moment.

‘Really? I didn’t see wrong.’

There’s no way he’d be so startled otherwise.

‘Doubledealer.’

You jerk, you got caught today.

How dare you criticize while cheating?

Lamein held a slow smile on her lips.

She took a step forward, meeting the black eyes that began to waver.

She tilted her head close to Killian’s face, flushed with confusion.

Slowly twisting the smile on her lips, she slowly opened her mouth.
The beautiful lady looked as if she got along well with him.

Killian’s eyes flickered as he quickly turned his head.

He could only press his lips together as if it hurt, unable to say a word.

“Whether your relationship with Elina goes awry or not, it’s none of my business.”

“…….”

“If you treat me like this again, everyone will know that you are meeting another lady.”

Lamein, pushing up her lips as if to remind him, widened the distance that she had narrowed.

For the first time, she looked straight into the eyes of a man where a crack had appeared.

The day she went into town to buy Lucia’s gift.

She had witnessed Killian shopping affectionately with a young lady.

A sight that looked too affectionate to be merely acquainted with.

His face blooming with a smile as if he was a man who could laugh like that.

‘I hoped it wasn’t so. It’s real.’

Her heart turns bitter as she looks at a bewildered Killian.

What’s the problem with meeting someone else when you’re not even married and getting a divorce?

‘Killian would do this.’

She was greatly shocked as a reader of the original work.

Elina was a bit pitiable, but that was just a reader’s commentary.

‘But you’re not even married, how neat? I’m here saying I’ll take alimony.’

It was not the time to worry about others.

“Lamein. That’s a misunderstanding.”

Killian began his belated excuse.

“Really? I saw it. That’s a misunderstanding?”

Lamein smiled leisurely.

The person in the advantageous position has no reason to be desperate.

“I don’t know why you thought so, but…….”

“I saw it. I saw you shopping affectionately with another young lady.”

Killian’s lips that seemed to want to say something were promptly closed.

“I didn’t see anything, but you talk as if you know everything. Can’t I say that when I’ve seen it directly?”

Killian did not say anything, his lips tightly shut.

“I’ll say it again. I don’t care about you two. But think well about touching me again, or I’ll blow it all up.”
