He thought he should marry Adeline to keep her by his side.
But this guy who wrote the letter seemed worse than Duke Severus.
‘The real one is this guy, Hail.’
The Duke stuffed the letter back into the drawer, as if he couldn’t bear to see it anymore.
Then he slammed the drawer shut so hard it nearly broke.
In fact, he was very confused.
‘An affair of a lover.’
Was this what people talked about?
He guessed Adeline’s infidelity but also comforted himself, hoping it was his misunderstanding.
He wanted to confirm with his own eyes, yet feared what if his suspicions were true.
The Duke paced around the office, torn for a long time.
After a long conflict, he stood up, as if having made a decision.
He then left the mansion to look for Adeline, wearing a deep hat pulled down over his face.
At that time, Adeline had arrived in front of the inn.
From afar, she saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of the inn and immediately sensed that Hailo had really come.
There was no other noble who would drive such a lavish carriage in this remote village so early in the morning.
As Adeline approached the inn, she saw a man leaning against the carriage.
His bright blonde hair fluttered lightly in the dawn breeze.
“Hail!”
The man turned at Adeline’s call.
Then he rushed towards her and embraced her tightly.
“Adel, do you know how worried I was?”
After holding her tightly for a while, Hailo stepped back and cupped her face with his large hands.
His blue eyes, full of concern, fixed on her.
“Hail, I’m safe. But let go of this…”
“What happened? Why are you dressed like this, and where have you been staying?”
Hailo couldn’t help but notice Adeline’s shabby dress.
Wasn’t she the one who told him not to worry when she left the capital?
“No, wait. Let’s go home. We’ll talk there…”
He didn’t give Adeline a chance to respond.
He quickly called the coachman to prepare the carriage and started giving orders to the servant who accompanied him.
Hailo appeared confused and disbelieving about the situation.
“Hailo.”
He stopped his frantic movement at Adeline’s calm voice.
“I can’t go home with you.”
“……Why?”
He blinked in disbelief.
“Is it because your house is too small? That’s fine. I can find a good property in Horn tomorrow morning and…”
“No. You know better than anyone why I can’t live in town, Hailo.”
He fell silent for a moment.
Hailo was well aware of why Adeline had fled to the remote town of Horn.
A madman.
It was to escape the empire’s Crown Prince, who had a penchant for killing his fiancées.
Adeline looked at Hailo, then ruffled her hair.
She was at a loss for where to start explaining.
Hailo probably thought she had simply run away to Horn to hide from the Crown Prince.
How could she explain? Just like in the comments of a novel, she had waited for the injured Duke Torpeo at the villa and treated him.
And that she was living with the Duke who had lost his memory.
Directly telling him this might end up with her being dragged to the Count of Lebrunse’s domain by Hailo.
“The thing is… the house I’m staying in is a bit unusual.”
“……Unusual?”
“Well, I have a companion living with me. A somewhat sensitive friend who wouldn’t welcome Hailo.”
Adeline decided to explain evasively instead of being completely honest.
She thought Hailo wouldn’t insist on going to the villa if he knew there was someone else with her.
Hailo’s brow furrowed.
Wary of revealing more and risking exposure of the strange situation, Adeline quickly changed the subject.
“Just go back, Hailo. Once things here are a bit settled, I’ll come to you.”
“Settled? Is now the time to be talking about settling things? How can I go back? Adel. What happened to the funds you took when you left? Why are you so thin? Have you been eating properly?”
Hailo strode towards Adeline and grasped her wrist.
Looking at her slender wrist that could be encircled by one hand, he frowned.
“This won’t do. Let’s go inside.”
He then began to lead Adeline inside the inn.
“Let go of that hand.”
A flat, unemotional voice cut through the silence.
Someone emerged from the dim alleyway next to the inn.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
