Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 19
There was clearly something behind the furniture. The duke pushed the piece aside.
The hinges were fully exposed, revealing a hidden door.
Just as Adeline had done in the past, the duke also opened the door and began descending underground.
At the end of the long staircase stood an iron door.
As he pushed open the cellar door and stepped inside, dust immediately clouded his vision.

After the dust swirling in the air finally settled, what came into view were paintings.
Canvases of all sizes—from larger than the duke himself to medium and small.
Given the chilly aura enveloping his entire body, it seemed this cellar was used as a storage vault.
He couldn’t understand why such a vault would be concealed behind furniture.
He moved forward, walking toward the center.
The most eye-catching item was a large-sized canvas.
‘…Is that me?’
A portrait depicting a woman holding the young duke in her arms.
‘Then this woman… is my mother?’

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

Artemtisforaday Chapter 20I can already tell this is going to turn into some long, drawn out, misunderstanding drama where even if she tells him the truth he’s not going to believe her… I just hope she doesn’t get taken back to her house or to the crown prince because of his sense of betrayal!
Aelthia Chapter 20Does she really have no feelings about consummating their relationship the previous night?
Miioo Chapter 20Oh my God, poor Adeline! Why did the Duke do that and then leave her?

Who said the Duke is the hero? He’s a filthy, despicable bastard. How could he do that to her and abandon her? Didn’t she mean anything to him? The people I hate most are the scoundrels who deceive girls and leave them. Poor Adeline, it’s a truly awful novel.

Isn’t this a pretty bad lie for her to go with? What if the seal is found in the luggage? This girl appears to be losing intelligence the longer the story goes
- Aelthia Chapter 24 — Paragraph 105

Wow such harsh punishment for being kind and saving a life. I really don’t pity Adeline. What twisted her karma so badly that she has to deal with the messes that come her way?

So the Duke is playing/testing her… I wonder how she’ll handle this situation.
Miioo
Is he testing her, or does he genuinely love her? He’s testing her.
