If she had let her guard down and transformed into a wolf…

“What are you doing there?”

Even without realizing it, a sharp voice came out.

Adele, who was standing in front of the bathroom door, looked puzzled and pursed his lips.

“Don’t treat me like a pervert. I came in to bring you clothes to change into.”

Adele quickly placed the clothes on the console and tried to leave, but Christine came out of the bathtub.

Squelch, squelch.
The sound of wet footsteps approached. Although Adele was turning his head, the sound alone indicated how close he had come. The familiar scent mixed with the fragrance of bath salts gradually intensified.

“Stay, why are you coming out?”

“I’m done.”

“Then quickly put on some clothes. You might catch a cold.”

He swiftly grabbed the clothes he had placed on the console and held them out. Of course, he turned his head to the side and closed his eyes.

“I’ll do that.”

“Then I’ll leave.”

As Adele took the clothes, he continued to turn his head and tried to leave with his eyes closed.

“Adele, be careful…!”

Bang!

In the end, he bumped his forehead on the door frame.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

But appearing quite hurt, Adele sat down and rubbed his forehead.

Christine found his appearance cute and felt a mischievous urge to tease.

“If you want to see me so badly, you can just look.”

Adele turned to him angrily.

“Oh, what did you say? Who came in to see…”

At that moment, Adele had to stop…

“Oh, I wanted you to see my face.”

“Eek, a beast!”

Now, Adele truly saw his nakedness for the first time.

When they shared love, Christine always kept the surroundings dark. He either turned off all the lights in the bedroom or covered it with curtains to make it dark even in broad daylight.

Adele thought it was to consider his embarrassment, so he never complained. But he was genuinely curious. Everything about the person with whom he shared love.

“But I never imagined it would be like this…”

What was vividly imprinted in her mind was beautiful and elegant, and it seemed like an entirely different life form from Christine. But why did her heart flutter like this?

Meanwhile, Christine was bewildered.

“What’s this reaction? After spending so many nights together, just now?”

“I, I don’t know! I’m leaving!”

Adele, turning hastily,

Again, bang!

“Ow!”

He bumped into the door frame.

Christine couldn’t laugh anymore, so he quickly put on a robe and approached.

“Look. Otherwise, your forehead won’t recover.”

One side of his white forehead was swollen and red. When he gently rubbed it, Adele made a pitiful expression.

“Hmm, it hurts…”

She also knew. This wasn’t originally her character. A short, creepy sound that was incredibly sticky and uncomfortable.

But it naturally came out in front of him. It was possible because she had absolute trust that he would find her beautiful no matter what she did.

As expected, he huffed and then pulled his arm.

“Let’s go, I’ll apply some ointment.”

In that moment, Adele hesitated but gathered courage.

“Actually, there’s a more effective remedy.”

Ugh, what a butter-like line!

She blushed with embarrassment.

However, when their eyes met, she decided to continue straight ahead.

Hanging onto his neck, Adele sweetly whispered above his lips.

“I’m tempting you right now.”
I don’t know. Whether this is right in the current situation, or how far we can go like this.

However, desire was not exclusive to men, and Adele wanted to give birth to a child resembling both herself and him.

Once the child is born, undoubtedly, he will love the child.

Because they love each other like this.

The next morning.

“I’ll be back. Adele.”

At the whisper of Christine as he was waking up, Adele lifted his heavy eyelids.

It was still dawn, locked in the blue darkness outside the window.

“Already? Did you sleep well?”

“I have urgent matters to attend to.”

“Aren’t you overworking yourself? If you collapse…”

Christine gently tousled Adele’s bangs and laughed.

“Don’t worry about me and sleep well.”

As if it were a spell, Adele fell back into a deep sleep.

A few hours later.

“Miss, are you going to keep sleeping?”

“Yeah, what time is it, Tanya?”

“It’s ten o’clock.”

“Slept in, huh.”

Rubbing her eyes, Adele sat up. Behind Tanya, several maids entered with dresses to change into and water for washing.

“If you’re tired, keep sleeping.”

“No, we decided to go shopping for Mia’s gift today.”

“How about talking to Lady-in-waiting before that?”

“Talk with Lady-in-waiting?”

“Their household has been wealthy for generations. They’ve been involved in business for a while. You might get advice that could help with having a baby.”

“Not to that extent.”

“Well, since you two are so happy, good news will come quickly.”

Other maids, who were listening to Adele’s conversation, blushed and nodded. The servants in the Marble Palace pretended not to notice, but there was no one who didn’t know how passionate the two were.

“I’ll change your clothes, so everyone, please leave.”

Adele said calmly but felt awkward for no reason.

“Yes, then.”

“Wait, Tanya!”

Adele called Tanya, who was about to leave with the maids.

“Well, since you thought about it so much and told me, I’ll meet the Lady-in-waiting.”

The Lady-in-waiting was about the same age as the butler Henry. However, their personalities were opposite. If Henry was calm, polite, and gentle, she was…

“Henry, that sly fox!”

In short, hearty, aggressive, and hearty.

The Lady brought before Adele licked her tongue as if she didn’t like something.

“Did something happen with Henry?”

“No, he gave me a shell to eat alone, but people shared it with everyone.”

“A shell? That slimy seafood?”

“Miss, you should definitely make sure to feed the Master. Shells are very good for a man’s vitality.”

Shells… In that case, he should never feed him that.

“But why did Henry give shells, maybe…?”

The Lady-in-waiting laughed heartily.

“Oh my, what are you talking about! That yellow-faced inspiration seems like it will collapse soon. If he has to face a corpse, who do you think will suffer the most?”
Then, as if her throat was dry, she gulped down the tea. Despite her hearty appearance, she was indeed a woman.

Adele quietly smiled, refilled the empty teacup, and offered a plate with cake.

“I heard you used to be involved in business. In that case, do you happen to know ways to have a child quickly?”

“Ways to have a child quickly?”

“Well… I mean, it’s not that I won’t have a child, but since I’m going to have one… wouldn’t it be better to have one sooner? Neither I nor the Viscount are getting any younger…”

Adele spoke awkwardly, feeling embarrassed.

However, the expression on the maid Jang’s face, who had been listening, darkened.

“Maybe it would be better for you two to discuss it thoroughly.”

“What do you mean?”

“Master’s thoughts may be different.”

For some reason, that statement seemed to lift the deeply buried uneasiness to the surface.

“You don’t mean… he doesn’t want it, do you?”
