Daniel repeatedly drank his cold tea, feeling frustrated. He simply couldn't communicate with Viscount Hardin. When he visited, the Viscount was at least in a decent state. Compared to his worry that the man might be completely unconscious from drinking, it was a very favorable meeting. But from then on, the conversation hardly progressed. One, two, three, four... He counted the flower patterns on the curtain up to ten in his mind. After barely regaining composure, he asked again. "Don't you…-

The sweetness quickly spread throughout her mouth, covering her palate. Chloe walked slowly, enjoying the spring breeze. The small but comfortable dormitory building began to appear in the distance. It was right after that when someone waved at her from across the street. "Chloe!" I thought she'd gone straight home. Recognizing the familiar face, Chloe immediately changed direction. Kate was with other companions who seemed to be her acquaintances. But as she got closer, Chloe slightly…

"And after arriving at Hanover Station?" "I loaded her luggage into the carriage waiting in front of the station. After seeing the carriage depart, I, I immediately boarded the train back to the capital." Bellisa's face was extremely tense before her master, whom she rarely faced directly. With the serious atmosphere added, her head naturally shrunk down. Meanwhile, Andert, having failed to obtain any useful information, let out a shallow sigh. Suddenly, he recalled the luggage the maid had…

Kate led Chloe to a small restaurant. Given it was just past 7 AM, it seemed she had come to make sure she ate. "There aren't many restaurants open at this hour around here. Among them, this place has the best food. Please sit." "Okay." As she tapped the opposite table, Chloe lightly perched on the chair. The restaurant's interior wasn't very large. Besides the two of them, there was only one male customer. "Since there are many artists who work at night here, the whole town is quiet at this…

However, he suddenly changed his mind about waiting patiently for two days. Something was clearly bothering him. This was an intuitive feeling. "Daniel, find out in detail if anything has been happening with Chloe recently." Daniel, who had been quickly writing something in his notebook, looked up at the sudden instruction. Though he was House Dietrich's lawyer, he was definitely Andert's man, and he confirmed the instruction. "...You mean Lady Dietrich?" "Well, do I have anyone else to mention…

"If you have nothing more to say, I'll take my leave." Chloe picked up her bag that she had set aside. The viscount hurriedly stood up, realizing she was about to leave the house right away. "Where are you going? More importantly, are you really getting divorced? Why is Andert, no, why is House Dietrich suddenly asking for divorce?" Questions tumbled out incoherently in his urgency. Chloe, who had been staring at him quietly, answered briefly. "I won't tell you my destination. The divorce will…

At the same time, Andert who returned to the mansion headed straight to his study. As always, his faithful butler followed behind. Andert had heard about Chloe's outing from the servant who came in the morning. But he hadn't given any response to Roman's note asking for different instructions. Did something happen again at the Hardin household? Andert didn't attach much significance to his wife's trip to Hanover. Or it might simply be a visit to commemorate her mother's death…

Two days passed like that. The Dietrich household greeted another morning no different from usual. Andert left the mansion early to attend to his scheduled appointments starting in the morning. Though it was expected, Chloe forcefully suppressed the empty corner of her heart. "I heard you were looking for me." The one who crossed the threshold with a knock was Butler Roman. He maintained the same attitude as usual, seemingly not having received any particular word from Andert. Of course, this…

Still, when her husband who returned visited her bedroom, she harbored hope that something might change. It was the first time since their rushed wedding night. Meeting her husband in the bedroom. And Chloe, who had been extremely nervous on their wedding day, couldn't even remember clearly what it had been like with him then. That's why. That’s why she simply froze before Andert, who suddenly appeared in her bedroom. Then he headed to the bed and added dryly, "You must know the marital duties…

Chapter 1 Long shadows paced the hallway, hands clasped together. Late at night, only the lamplight illuminated the darkness-filled corridor. Chloe repeatedly bit the inside of her lip to suppress her rising anxiety, until the tender flesh was pressed between her even teeth. The interior of the mansion where Andert's carriage had just arrived was filled with silence. She had just come down after waiting all evening for her husband's return. Standing at the end of the long corridor stretching on…
