Marriage with a Suspiciously Demure Husband — Chapter 2

NO...

NO,

IT HAS TO BE WRONG...

WHY?

WHY DOES MY MARRIAGE DOCUMENT

HAVE THE NAME OF "KAILUS HADID,"

WANT DEAD OR ALIVE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

THE GREATEST VILLAIN IN THE EMPIRE... ?

THE MAN WHO EVEN PUT UP WANTED POSTERS TO KILL ME, INSTEAD OF THE NAME OF MY HUSBAND, "NOAH"?!

IT WAS EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER

I HAD COME DOWN HERE TO FERRARIUM AND OPENED MY MERCENARY GUILD.

IT WAS THE DAY I SAW YELLOW BUTTERFLIES WELCOMING SPRING.

IT WAS ALSO THE DAY I ATE MY FAVORITE SCONES FOR BREAKFAST WITH PEACH COMPOTE ON TOP.

AND EVEN WHEN I CRACKED AN EGG TO FRY IT,

TWO YOLKS POPPED OUT.

IT WAS AN UNUSUALLY GOOD DAY.

IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST DAY AN S-GRADE CLIENT CAME TO MY MERCENARY GUILD,

AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE FIRST S-GRADE MERCENARY BESIDES ME CAME BY,

SO EVEN THE CONTRACT WAS SETTLED.

PLEASE VISIT US AGAIN NEXT TIME~!

SOMETHING ABOUT TODAY FEELS LUCKY.

SHOULD I BUY A LOTTERY TICKET OR SOMETHING?

W-

WAIT A MOMENT!

I CAME

TO PLACE A REQUEST...

AM I TOO LATE?

AH... NO,

NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

THAT WAS HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH NOAH AT FIRST SIGHT,

AND BEFORE LONG,

WHEN HE CONFESSED TO ME WITH RED ROSES

I NEARLY CRIED.

AND THREE MONTHS LATER,

WHEN HE PROPOSED WITH A DIAMOND RING AS LARGE AS MY EYE,

I THOUGHT THIS LIFE WAS FINALLY A SUCCESS.

DO THE BRIDE, HAZEL LOVE, AND THE GROOM, NOAH EDISH,

SWEAR TO LOVE ONLY EACH OTHER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES?

YES, I SWEAR.

WITH THIS, FROM NOW ON, THE TWO OF YOU

SHALL BE KNOWN AS HAZEL LOVE EDISH AND NOAH LOVE EDISH...

HAZEL, DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

WHEN I TOUCH YOU LIKE THIS,

STRANGELY ENOUGH...

ALL MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR.

ME TOO.

WHEN I AM WITH YOU, NOAH,

ALL MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR.

THAT IS STRANGE... I WONDER WHY?

WAS IT BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS

COOKED DELICIOUS MEALS FOR ME?

BECAUSE WHENEVER THE WEATHER GOT EVEN A LITTLE COLD,

YOU WORRIED YOURSELF SICK THAT I MIGHT CATCH A COLD?

OR BECAUSE ON HOT DAYS, YOU FOLLOWED ME AROUND AND EVEN FANNED ME YOURSELF?

OR MAYBE...

WHENEVER I, WHO OFTEN HAD NIGHTMARES, WOKE UP,

YOU NOTICED FIRST AND GOT UP,

THEN HELD ME, PATTED ME, AND LULLED ME BACK TO SLEEP?

AH...

I WISH THIS DREAMLIKE HAPPINESS

WOULD NEVER END.

AND SO, ONE YEAR PASSED.

ON AN ORDINARY DAY, WHEN OUR FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WAS NOT FAR AWAY.

HERE ARE THE DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THAT THE PROPERTY TITLE TRANSFER HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

PLEASE CHECK THE CONTENTS CAREFULLY, AND IF THERE ARE NO ISSUES, YOU MAY DISCARD THEM.

WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL ON OUR SIDE.

THANK YOU.

GOOD, WITH THIS...

I CAN GIFT NOAH A VILLA!

IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL IT IS FINISHED,

BUT NOW THAT THE PAPERWORK IS ALL DONE,

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE IT TO HIM RIGHT ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

I HOPE NOAH

LIKES IT...

THAT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT.

SO WHY IS THE NAME OF MY HUSBAND WRITTEN ON THIS DOCUMENT

NOT "NOAH LOVE EDISH,"

BUT THE NAME OF KAILUS, THE MAN TRYING TO KILL ME... ?!

BRIDE, HAZEL LOVE HADID GROOM, KAILUS LOVE HADID

KAILUS, THE VILLAIN FROM THE NOVEL I POSSESSED,

WAS MORE CRUEL AND RELENTLESS THAN ANYONE IN THE EMPIRE.

ANYONE WHO EARNED THAT MAN'S GRUDGE WOULD BE CHASED TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND EXECUTED BY HIS OWN HANDS.

IF I, THE PERSON WHO SKIMMED OFF PART OF HIS SOURCE OF FUNDS,

HAD ACTUALLY BEEN DANCING IN THE PALM OF THAT MAN'S HAND...

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THERE'S NO WAY!

THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE.

RIGHT, THE DOCUMENT ITSELF MIGHT BE WRONG, COULD IT NOT?

MY ILLUSION MAGIC WAS PERFECT!

SO...

BRIDE, HAZEL

GROOM, KAILUS

SO WHAT I AM TRYING TO CHECK RIGHT NOW IS...

AH, GUILDMASTER. I HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT.

THE GUILD'S RECENT SALES HAVE GROWN TENFOLD, SO I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE PROFIT MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTS.

ALSO, THIS AFTERNOON, YOU HAVE A DATE SCHEDULED WITH NOAH-

LATER, VERONICA!

THERE IS SOMETHING I LEFT AT HOME!

WHAT I AM TRYING TO CHECK RIGHT NOW,

THE PART OF ME THAT WANTS TO TRUST MY HUSBAND,

AND THE PART OF ME THAT DOES NOT WANT TO DOUBT HIM...

WHERE IS HAZEL?

AH, NOAH.

THE GUILDMASTER SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING SHE LEFT AT HOME AND RUSHED OUT.

BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING WE HAD BUILT OVER ONE ABSURD DOCUMENT...

NOAH'S DESK.

I AM SURE THE SECRET DRAWER MECHANISM WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE.

HAZEL LOVE'S MOVEMENTS

HAZEL LOVE'S IDEAL TYPE HAZEL LOVE'S MOVEMENTS

WHAT...?

WHAT IS ALL THIS...?

THE CONTENTS OF THESE DOCUMENTS ARE LIKE...

ALSO, THIS AFTERNOON, YOU HAVE A DATE SCHEDULED WITH NOAH...

LATER, VERONICA!

THERE IS SOMETHING I LEFT AT HOME!

I AM COMING IN, HAZEL.

OH?

WHY ARE YOU TREMBLING SO MUCH?

IT'S SUMMER NOW, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE COLD.

AHA, HAZEL.

COULD IT BE THAT YOU...
