MAY I HAVE A CUP TOO? GOOD... IS IT REALLY A GOOD MORNING, THOUGH? HAHA... DID HIS GRACE GET ANY SLEEP AT ALL? I DON'T THINK HE EVEN GOT THREE HOURS. I RAN INTO HIM JUST NOW WHILE GOING TO TIDY UP THE STUDY... I NEARLY MISTOOK HIM FOR THE GHOST OF THE LATE DUKE! DON'T BE SO DRAMATIC. SO COLD... DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? I HEARD BANDITS ATTACKED THE CARRIAGE. WHAT?! JEFFREY TOLD ME. THE BANDITS EVEN BRANDISHED GUNS... AND JUST WHEN THINGS WERE LOOKING HOPELESS... HIS GRACE SHOWED UP AND TOOK DOWN TWO OF THEM ALL ON HIS OWN. OH MY...!! THANK GOODNESS IT DIDN'T TURN OUT WORSE... YES, INDEED. I THOUGHT EVERYTHING HAD TURNED OUT ALL RIGHT... SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE TWO OF THEM ENDED UP FIGHTING AFTERWARD. HMM... I THINK I MAY KNOW WHY. NO DOUBT HIS GRACE SCOLDED HER. HUH? AND SHE MUST HAVE BEEN SO SHOCKED AFTER EXPERIENCING SUCH A TERRIBLE INCIDENT... I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL SORRY FOR HER. SURELY HE MEANT TO SIMPLY EXPRESS HIS CONCERN FOR HER WELLBEING. EVEN IF SHE HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG... AS EVERYONE KNOWS A SOFT TOUCH IS ALL THAT'S NEEDED TO ELICIT AN APOLOGY. BEING TOO SOFT ALL THE TIME DOES NO GOOD. ONE MUST SPEAK PLAINLY, THOUGH IT MAY OFFEND. NOT QUITE A LOVER'S QUARREL... (1) I'M... I'M STILL SO UPSET!!! HE HAD NOTHING BUT HARSH WORDS FOR ME!! I WAS DOING MY BEST...! MY LADY. THE DOCTOR HAS ARRIVED. OH. PLEASE, SEND HIM IN. A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, MY LADY. I AM ALLEN CLARK. HM...? H-HELLO. WAIT... SOMETHING FEELS... OFF. HER GAZE IS RATHER INTENSE... HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THE FAMILY DOCTOR? IT'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE YEARS NOW. BEFORE THAT, I ASSISTED MY FATHER AND LEARNED FROM HIM. AND NOW YOUR FATHER IS...? HE RETIRED RECENTLY. HIS HEALTH'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. AS I THOUGHT— THIS MAN WASN'T IN THE ORIGINAL STORY. NO WONDER HE LOOKS SO YOUNG. HIS FATHER, THE PREVIOUS FAMILY DOCTOR... WAS KNOWN FOR HIS BAD BEHAVIOR. HE USED HIS GOOD LOOKS TO FLIRT WITH EVERY WOMAN HE MET. PLEASE WAIT ABOUT THREE MINUTES, MY LADY. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND CHANGE IN THE HOUSEHOLD... WHY HAS THE STORY CHANGED SO MUCH? FORTUNATELY, THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY THE MATTER. AND YOUR TEMPERATURE IS FINE. NO PHYSICAL INJURIES OF NOTE... AND YOUR APPETITE IS INTACT... THAT SAID... WHILE YOUR BODY MAY BE FINE, THE SHOCK MIGHT LINGER, MENTALLY. I RECOMMEND YOU TAKE A REST FOR A WHILE. I UNDERSTAND. AH, HOW IS ANAIS DOING? SHE'S ALSO PARTAKING OF PROPER REST. THANK YOU. DR. CLARK, PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF ANAIS AND JEFFREY. I AM MUCH OBLIGED FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION, MY LADY. HER GRACE REALLY ISN'T LIKE MOST NOBLES... IT SEEMS THAT SHE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT THOSE IN HER SERVICE. SO I CAN WALK ABOUT, THEN? A LIGHT WALK SHOULD BE FINE. WHAT?! EVEN THOUGH HIS GRACE HAS ORDERED IT SO... I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL SORRY. HIS GRACE HAS ASKED THAT YOU REMAIN AT HOME AND FOCUS ON REST FOR THE TIME BEING... BUT DR. CLARK SAID I'M IN PERFECTLY GOOD HEALTH! WAIT—HE WAS SERIOUS ABOUT GROUNDING ME?! BUT I HAVE TO BUY MY PAINTS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL RUINED... PERHAPS YOU COULD TAKE THIS TIME TO REST PROPERLY, AND DISCUSS IT WITH HIS GRACE ONCE MORE AT A LATER TIME? UGH... BUT I WANNA GO OUT BECAUSE IT'S SO UNCOMFORTABLE SEEING HIM AROUND THE MANOR! IF YOU GO OUT TODAY, ANAIS WILL BE TERRIBLY WORRIED AS WELL. ...!! THIS IS SO UNFAIR... WE COULD'VE TALKED IT OUT, BUT INSTEAD HE'S BEING ALL SULKY AND STUBBORN... FINE. IF THAT'S HOW HE WANTS TO PLAY IT, I WON'T BACK DOWN EITHER!! HER GRACE IS RESTING IN HER CHAMBERS. GOOD. SO SHE HAS FINALLY LISTENED. SHE DID SEEM DISHEARTENED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO REPLACE HER PAINTS... ...HM, HAVE I, PERHAPS, BEEN TOO HARSH? STAYING IN ALL DAY CAN'T BE EASY FOR HER. PAINTS... WELL... SHE'D PROBABLY LIKE IT IF I BOUGHT THEM FOR HER. A FEW DAYS LATER SHE STAYED IN HER CHAMBERS AGAIN YESTERDAY. HAVE THE PAINTS BEEN ARRANGED? YES. WHILE ENGAGED IN WRITING A LETTER TO MISS EUNICE WENTWORTH... MY LADY REMARKED THAT IT WOULD BE FINE TO SEND THEM AT ONCE, AS A GIFT. DID SHE... SAY ANYTHING ELSE? PARDON? PERHAPS... THANK YOU OR A SUGGESTION TO EAT TOGETHER? UH, N-NO... NOTHING LIKE THAT... PLEASE INFORM HIM THAT I'LL BE DINING IN MY ROOM AGAIN TODAY! I'M NOT FEELING WELL, AFTER ALL. I WILL STAY IN MY ROOM, JUST LIKE HE WANTED!!! ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Duke's Obsession With His Wife #34: NOT QUITE A LOVER'S QUARREL (1)](/series/the-duke-s-obsession-with-his-wife-5a64q63y/chapter-34-pg5mzs) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-duke-s-obsession-with-his-wife-5a64q63y ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
