I ONCE AGAIN... IRENE. Mhm... Ah... OUT, H-... FEELS SO GOOD... Hnn, mhm... Ah, out... Haah... Ah Aah... ...DID THE DUKE DO THIS SORT OF THING WITH THE MARCHIONESS OF GRANTEA, TOO? I’VE HEARD THE SAYING THAT MEN CAN HOLD EVEN WOMEN THEY DON’T LOVE IN THEIR ARMS... COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE... ME RIGHT NOW? IS HE DOING THIS EVERY NIGHT WITH THE THOUGHT OF HAVING AN HEIR WITH ME, HIS PRIMARY WIFE? ...IRENE? AH, I'M SORRY. TODAY I'M... NOT FEELING VERY WELL. MAY I HEAD TO BED FIRST? DUKE. I AM SORRY. ...I WAS IMPATIENT, I APOLOGIZE. PLEASE GET SOME REST. YOU MAY CALL ME FELIX, IRENE. AND, YOU HAVE NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE. ...FOR THE TIME BEING, I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO CALL HIM BY HIS NAME COMFORTABLY. EVER SINCE THEN, I BEGAN AVOIDING THE DUKE. SINCE HE WAS ALREADY BUSY WITH WORK TO BEGIN WITH, AND I STARTED GOING TO SLEEP EARLY INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR HIM TO COME HOME, WE ENDED UP NOT SEEING EACH OTHER'S FACES EVEN ONCE ALL DAY. THE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS EVERY MORNING REMAINED THE SAME, AND AFTER A CERTAIN POINT THERE WAS EVEN A SHORT LETTER ATTACHED, BUT... THAT WAS IT. LEAVING EARLY AT DAWN AND RETURNING LATE AT NIGHT, HE TRULY FELT LIKE A PERSON WHO WASN'T THERE. IT'S EMPTY ENOUGH TO BE UNBELIEVABLE FOR NEWLYWEDS. OUR LIFE WAS LIKE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING, SO WAS I JUST CAUGHT UP IN AN ILLUSION... ...EVEN SO, MY FEELINGS OF LOVING HIM IS SOMETHING I CANNOT GIVE UP... DOWNTOWN EVEN IN THIS SITUATION, I HAVE TO BUY A CHRISTMAS GIFT. JOSHUA IS A BIT LATE. WHAT KIND OF GIFT SHOULD I BUY LATER... DUCHESS. ...IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. WE HAVE SECURED ANOTHER PHOTO OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE TOGETHER WITH 'THAT' WOMAN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NECKLACE THEY HAPPILY PURCHASED TOGETHER WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SUSPECT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUR HUSBAND AND THIS YOUNG LADY? IT'S THE SAME FEELING AGAIN. THE FEELING OF MY HEART CRASHING TO THE FLOOR. THE FEELING OF THE HOPES I TRIED NOT TO HOLD ONTO BEING TORN TO SHREDS. THESE DAYS, WATCHES YOU CAN WEAR ON YOUR WRIST RATHER THAN POCKET WATCHES HAVE NEWLY COME OUT AND ARE CREATING QUITE A BUZZ. IF HE'S AN ARISTOCRATIC MAN, HE'LL SURELY LOVE IT. I DON'T REALLY REMEMBER WHAT I REPLIED TO THE REPORTER. I PROBABLY MADE UP SOME PLAUSIBLE EXCUSE AND SAID, THESE TWO ARE NATURALLY CLOSE ACQUAINTANCES, AND THE DUKE IS NOT THE SORT OF MAN TO CHEAT. I MUST HAVE SAID OBVIOUS THINGS LIKE THAT. KNOWING THAT SINCE I'VE REFUSED TWICE NOW, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ANY MORE MONEY OUT OF ME... THAT REPORTER MIGHT GO FIND THE DUKE. IF THE DUKE HEARS ABOUT THIS, WHAT KIND OF REACTION WILL HE SHOW ME? PERHAPS... IRENE. SINCE IT'S COME TO THIS, MIGHT I OFFICIALLY TAKE A LOVER? DUCHESS. ARE YOU ALRIGHT? WH-WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY? AS I WAS HANGING AROUND HIGH-RANKING ARISTOCRATIC SCIONS AT THE ACADEMY, I HEARD ABOUT A FEW BRANDS HIGHLY PRAISED BY WATCH ENTHUSIASTS. HOW ABOUT MAKING TODAY'S GIFT FROM HIS GRACE THE DUKE THIS BRAND OF WRISTWATCH? Men's Watch Where time evolves. AH... I'VE NEVER BOUGHT A WATCH BEFORE, SO... I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU. THANK YOU, JOSHUA. IF HE GENUINELY, TRULY LOVES THE MARCHIONESS OF GRANTEA... I... CANNOT STOP THOSE FEELINGS. EVEN THE EMPEROR'S COMMAND COULDN'T STOP MY FEELINGS OF LOVE... WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY DO? HAVE YOU RETURNED, MADAM? HELLO... IRENE. WELCOME BACK. ...DUKE. YOU WERE AT THE ESTATE... IT SEEMS I'LL BE ABLE TO RETURN HOME EARLY IN THE EVENING FROM NOW ON. HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR HAS MOVED UP MY OFF-WORK HOURS, YOU SEE. ...HUH? WAS HE REALLY BUSY ALL THIS TIME BECAUSE OF WORK? BUT EVEN AFTER GETTING HIS PICTURE TAKEN OUT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT LIKE THAT... IRENE. THE WEATHER IS NICE TODAY, IF YOU AREN'T TIRED... WOULD YOU CARE TO TAKE A WALK IN THE GARDEN WITH ME? ...I'D LOVE TO. AH. I OUGHT TO BUY YOU A SHAWL. HIS SCENT DRAWING CLOSE, AND HIS WARMTH. WHAT DO I DO, I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO CRY. LET'S CALM DOWN... DID YOU ENJOY YOUR OUTING, IRENE? YES, I MET A FRIEND DOWNTOWN... ...A FRIEND? YES. AN OLD FRIEND I'VE BEEN CLOSE WITH SINCE CHILDHOOD, NAMED JOSHUA... HE'S THE SECOND SON OF THE VISCOUNT HASSLER FAMILY. I SEE. IT'S CHILLY, SHALL WE HEAD THAT WAY? AH... YES. ...LIKE A FOOL, I SHOULDN'T BE HOPING FOR ANYTHING. WALKING WITH HIM LIKE THIS... WE SEEM LIKE AN AFFECTIONATE COUPLE... ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Had an Arranged Marriage With My Unrequited Love #3](/series/i-had-an-arranged-marriage-with-my-unrequited-love-qmpwgz2c/chapter-3-xa5y9g) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-had-an-arranged-marriage-with-my-unrequited-love-qmpwgz2c ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
