Chapter 20 She had to earn money, so Cecilia somehow managed to come to work, but she was so troubled that she couldn't concentrate on her work at all. Even the sandwich Arkan had packed for her lunch tasted like tasteless rubber. Cecilia sat in the corner of the break-room table, deep in thought, chewing mechanically on her sandwich until someone spoke to her. “How did you seduce him?” At first, Cecilia absentmindedly assumed the question had been directed at someone else. Then she felt…-

Chapter 19 First of all, the cat's white fur was so long that it dragged along the floor, and its face was round and flat. Its wrinkled nose was almost pressed against its face, so from Davion's point of view, it could never be called pretty. Of course, how could an animal possibly resemble a person? Yet, strangely enough, the cat inside the box reminded him of the mean old woman from a picture book. When he checked, he discovered that it was female as well. Compared to Ruby, who couldn't stay still…

Chapter 18 Ruby's beak fell open. Oh, my goodness! There was a huge pile of peanuts on the coffee table nearby! And they were roasted peanuts, no less! 「Peanuts...!」 Caw! Completely forgetting that she was in the middle of a secret mission, Ruby happily hopped up and down in place. 「Oh, yes! Peanuts! Peanuts! Peanuts!」 She quickly flew over to the table and greedily began stuffing peanuts into her beak. As the weight of the plate gradually became lighter and reached a…

Chapter 16 This time, Cecilia could not hide her surprise. She choked and started coughing, her face turning slightly pale. “You-you were a soldier?” “Yes. I graduated from the Royal Oaktree Military Academy. I retired from the military for personal reasons.” Until now, whenever her coworkers asked about Arkan's occupation, Cecilia had lied and told them that her husband was a retired soldier. But it turned out that he really was a retired soldier! Goodness, and not just any…

Chapter 17 I am that woman's husband. I would like to meet you in person. At the very bottom of the note was a phone number. It was a number Arkan didn't recognize. It wasn't easy for an ordinary household to have a telephone, either. Just as Cecilia had said, it was becoming clear that her husband was someone in a fairly high position. It would probably be better not to show this to her. Arkan stared at the elegant handwriting. When he heard a sound coming from the bathroom, he…

Chapter 15 The mansion was clean thanks to the servants having cleaned up after the event. Just as Liam had said, the suitcase that had been placed in Cecilia's grave was sitting on the desk in the study. How did that get back here? It was unbelievable. Davion immediately opened the suitcase and checked first for anything resembling bloodstains. Wrinkled clothes, the romance novels she liked to read, and snacks for the animals she loved as dearly as children all came out one after another. At the…

Chapter 14 Theodore Sisledown. The eldest son of the family, six years older than Davion, was more often called by his nickname, “the bastard of the Sisledown family,” than by his actual name. At eighteen, he had caused an incident at the military academy and been expelled. After leaving home and wandering the streets, he eventually ended up in prison. “Don't worry about Theodore. Even there, he acts like he's the boss. He's doing so well that sometimes he looks like a man who came to a…

Chapter 13 Davion slowly opened and closed his heavy eyelids without answering. Then he stepped aside and introduced Julian. “Lady Esmerilda, this is Major Julian Redwick. He says he's been your fan for a long time.” Julian hurriedly straightened his coat and fixed his hair. “Oh my, what an incredible honor. If I'd known this would happen, I would've brought my fountain pen...” Esmerilda replied with genuine regret, then took out her lipstick from her handbag and applied another…

Chapter 12 After moving from one place to another around the city with Arkan, Cecilia explained their situation to the manager and managed to get a cheap room with two beds. They had put the room fee on credit to be paid later, so Cecilia's top priority was to find a job before the payment was due. She cut out only the job advertisements from the newspaper and neatly spread them across the floor. Then she sat cross-legged in the middle and thought long and…
