Marriage with a Suspiciously Demure Husband — Chapter 10

I AM A TRULY FORTUNATE MAN.

WHAT'S THIS? NOAH'S VOICE...

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NOAH'S VOICE.

IT FEELS LIKE... "KAILUS."

A SOFT AND GENTLE VOICE,

IT MAKES ME WANT TO INSTINCTIVELY AVOID HIM...

...WE SHOULD HURRY.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU YOUR GIFT SOON TOO.

TODAY, WE WILL DO WHATEVER MY WIFE WANTS.

I WILL FOLLOW ANYTHING YOU SAY.

NOAH, YOU CAN'T TAKE OFF THE BLINDFOLD.

UNDERSTOOD.

YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, RIGHT?

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL.

AH, WE'RE HERE.

WATCH YOUR STEP, NOAH.

NOW, NOAH.

YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES.

NOAH, I BUILT THIS JUST FOR YOU.

I KNOW YOU SOMETIMES SUFFER FROM HEADACHES.

AND YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE NOISY PLACES EITHER.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO PREPARE A QUIET AND COMFORTABLE SPACE FOR YOU.

AND NOAH, YOU ALWAYS ADJUST EVERYTHING TO SUIT ME, DO YOU NOT?

WE'VE LIVED DIFFERENT LIVES FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS, SO THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD MATCH THIS WELL NATURALLY.

IT MUST HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH EFFORT.

THAT'S WHY I FELT THAT YOU REALLY LOVED ME SO MUCH ALL THIS TIME.

YES. THAT WAS WHY I PREPARED THIS GIFT WITH SO MUCH EFFORT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.

I NEVER IMAGINED THAT THE DOCUMENTS I ISSUED

FOR THIS GIFT WOULD SHATTER MY ILLUSION.

HAZEL.

SO I WANTED TO SHOW YOU MY LOVE TOO.

I NEVER EXPECTED THIS...

DO YOU LIKE IT?

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH.

THE FIREPLACE IS CUTE.

YOU DON'T GET COLD EASILY,

BUT IT SHOULD STILL BE COZY IN WINTER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE KITCHEN? IS IT ALL RIGHT?

IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD IMMEDIATELY COOK A FEAST FOR HAZEL.

IT'S NOT MEALTIME YET, SO I WILL JUST ACCEPT THE THOUGHT.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE FOR IT TO BE COZY, SO I MADE IT TWO STORIES.

IT'S PERFECT.

THIS IS THE BEDROOM.

I ALSO INSTALLED SOUNDPROOFING MANA STONES ON THE WINDOWS HERE.

EVEN WITHOUT THEM, IT SHOULD BE QUIET BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HOUSES NEARBY,

BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE NECESSARY IF YOU WANTED TO REST WITHOUT ANY DISTURBANCE.

EVEN SOMEONE AS PERFECT AS YOU MIGHT SOMETIMES FEEL TIRED OR HAVE WORRIES.

YOU CAN COME HERE ALONE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU CAN'T GET OVER FEELING UPSET WITH ME.

THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU DO NOTHING BUT REST.

You absolutely must not work.

WELL, INSTEAD OF COMING HERE ALONE, THIS IS A PLACE WHERE I'D LIKE TO REST TOGETHER WITH HAZEL.

ALTHOUGH I DOUBT THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN.

THEN WOULDN'T THE GIFT MEAN NOTHING...?

THE FACT THAT MY WIFE PREPARED IT FOR ME IS ALREADY MORE THAN ENOUGH.

IT'S COMFORTABLE AND NICE. SHALL WE COME HERE EVERY WEEKEND FROM NOW ON?

EVERY WEEKEND?

OR WE COULD STAY IN THIS ROOM ALL THE TIME STARTING NOW.

NOAH, DO YOU WANT TO GO SEE THE STREAM OUTSIDE?

YOU COULDN'T SEE IT EARLIER BECAUSE YOUR EYES WERE COVERED ON THE WAY HERE!

I HEARD FROM THE WORKERS DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT RABBITS AND DEER SHOW UP SOMETIMES TOO.

I ALSO LIKE THAT THERE ARE MANY ANIMALS THAT RESEMBLE HAZEL.

I WORKED HARD TO LEAD HIM AROUND

AND INTRODUCED EVERY REMAINING PART OF THE PLACE WITHOUT LEAVING ANYTHING OUT.

PERHAPS NOAH REALLY LIKED THIS GIFT,

BECAUSE HE SAID WE SHOULD COME HERE EVERY YEAR ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

IT WAS A PROMISE THAT WOULD NEVER COME TRUE, BUT I READILY ANSWERED THAT WE SHOULD.

...THEN I WILL LEAVE THE OUTSIDE WORK TO YOU, NICA.

YES, GUILDMASTER!

I WILL MAKE SURE TO WIN THE BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT NEGOTIATIONS.

GOOD. NOW THAT SHE'S NOT HERE...

SHOULD I START WINNING HER OVER IN EARNEST?

MS. PERIAN. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MEETING WITH YOU TO SEE IF YOU ARE ADJUSTING WELL TO THE WORK.

DO YOU HAVE TIME?

AH, YES. OF COURSE!

I WILL JUST MOVE THIS AND THEN COME TO YOUR OFFICE, GUILDMASTER!

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE WORK!

EVERYONE HAS BEEN KIND TO ME TOO.

I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT. I HOPE YOU WORK HERE FOR A LONG TIME, MS. PERIAN.

YOU CAN CALL ME GINGER, GUILDMASTER!

SHALL I? THANK YOU, GINGER.

NOT AT ALL, GUILDMASTER!

THEN, LET US GET TO THE MAIN POINT...

I AM THINKING OF ENTRUSTING YOU WITH A TASK FROM NOW ON.

BUT BEFORE THAT, MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING?

HAHA, THE GUILDMASTER HERSELF IS GIVING ME A TASK. I'M QUITE NERVOUS.

YES, PLEASE ASK ME ANYTHING!

THEN I WILL BE DIRECT.

HOW MUCH DID KAILUS HADID PAY YOU FOR THIS JOB?
