“Are you here?”

When I turned my gaze, my former mother-in-law, Mrs. Michelle, was standing there.

As before, he looked at me with a somewhat overbearing tone and a sharp gaze.

“It would have been nice if we had come early and welcomed our guests with us.”

Her harsh words of criticism suddenly reminded me of something from the past.

‘Where has Ashley gone? Now the eldest son of the Count Guichure family has come to see me for a while. what? Why are you meeting a man? Do you have any doubts? Even if you’re married, you can still meet this person. ‘He’s not locked in a cage.’

I later found out that my mother-in-law had arranged for Ashley to meet the children of wealthy families with the intention of divorcing me.

All of the men’s confrontations ended in failure, perhaps because they felt burdened by bearing the curse of the Rapone family and stealing the hero’s wife, but it was a huge shock to learn that something like that had happened without my knowledge.

‘Why did you do that!’

‘How can you say something loud without culture? ‘You better pretend to be a husband!’

I was angry, miserable, and felt self-destructive.

I almost gave up on a bet with Vera halfway through.

But I endured it like a devil.

I have no doubt that there will be a good day someday.

“I have a lot to talk about with you, so I’ll sleep in Ashley’s room today.”

“Yes, honey. We also brought in a bigger bed for you.”

Ashley naturally tried to link her arms with me, so I naturally uncrossed her arms and took a step to the side.

“I have a lot of work to do today. I have to work at night so I have to go back.”

“It’s been a long time coming to my in-laws’ house, but if they just see my face, people will curse me. Take a rest for at least one night. You’re not even legally divorced yet.”

Since I didn’t want to engage in any more conversation, I ended the conversation with Mrs. Michelle, who kept asking questions in an overbearing manner, and left.

“Honey! Let’s go together!”

Ashley came along and bothered me, but I listened to everything she said with one ear and let it go with the other.

“Oh, Lord Naru! Come here for a moment and let’s talk!”

Before the actual event begins.

I walked around the hall with a glass of wine and said hello to many people.

In the meantime, I felt someone’s gaze.

We didn’t make eye contact, but since I happened to see him in passing earlier, I knew who it was by feel.

‘Aquinas.’

She was looking at me closely.

I didn’t like her gaze, so I deliberately didn’t approach her.

Still, she kept watching me intently.

As if asking me to come closer to you.

‘Do you have something to say?’

At least it’s an adventure story.

I was tired today because I used up all my stamina with the queen.

Here, I only wanted to deal with issues related to the Rapone family.

Moreover, I have no particular relationship with Aquinas.

About two years ago, we ran into each other and all we said was ‘hello’.

‘I guess the ceremony with the queen today made her uncomfortable.’

Because I am an adventurer, I know how fellow adventurers feel.

It was clear that Aquinas was burning with his fighting spirit.

Suddenly Ashley shook my arm slightly.

“Honey. The kids are here.”

“Who?”

When I looked back, Serena and Loverini, wearing dresses that revealed their cleavage, were standing side by side with awkward smiles.

It looks like someone forced him to smile.

“Long, it’s been a while, brother-in-law.”

Serena noticed and held out her hand.

“You’ve become prettier in the time I haven’t seen you?”

I lightly kissed the back of her hand.

At the same time, her harsh criticism came to mind.

‘Brother-in-law, if you’re having a hard time, why not commit suicide? They say a lot of artists with the best skills commit suicide. If your brother-in-law commits suicide at a young age, future generations will think something great about him. A genius warrior with a burning sense of justice until his death? how is it? Can I help you? Dying is really simple. Don’t make it complicated.”

‘Ah, seeing my brother-in-law limping makes the tea taste worse. I’d like to go somewhere else and drink.’

‘That person is really useless. ‘I feel ashamed of everything I see.’

I smiled bitterly and raised my head.

“Nice to see you again.”

“Well, me too, nice to meet you.”

“Serina. What did your sister tell you to do if she met your brother-in-law?”

“Ah… Tongue, brother-in-law. I’m sorry for speaking rudely before. I got scolded a lot by my sister and I realized this. I think I was really wrong.”

I think I did… ?

“Honey, Serena said that’s the case. Please forgive me.”

“It’s okay. I didn’t pay much attention.”

“Of course it’s you. Because he is a great person, he has a big heart.”

While Ashley was smiling without notice, I looked back at Loverini.

“It’s been a while since Miss Loverini. How have you been?”

“Yes? Ah yes. Wow, you’ve become a lot cooler.”

Loverini let out an awkward laugh and awkwardly held out his hand.

I calmly kissed the back of her hand and recalled the past.

‘Hey, don’t come this way! Turn that way, turn around and go. Did you know? I might catch the limping disease that Vera infected me with.”

Ashley’s friend Loverini, who was the same age, was not the type to openly shoot in front of someone.

He was the type to secretly grab Ashley and threaten her from behind.

‘Aren’t you embarrassed to take your husband with you? ‘I don’t like it, so don’t ask me to come out when I’m around.’

‘If you don’t want to see your husband, separate. I heard there are a lot of families living separately. Starting today, use each room.’

‘When my husband tries to touch me, I get annoyed and avoid him. If you show that you don’t like him, he will be the first to ask for a divorce. Or induce violence.’

He is the mastermind who was manipulating Ashley behind the scenes.

But now, judging from her attitude and the obvious sign of Ashley paying attention to her, it was clear that she had received careful attention from Ashley before coming here.

“Like Serena, I, too, felt sorry. I feel like I treated Lord Naru harshly… I won’t do that again. I hope you and Ashley get back together. No, please combine them. Please.”

hmm…

It’s getting harder and harder to stand here.

I don’t like being reminded of nightmares from the past, and I’m embarrassed to be asked to change something that has already been decided.

“You. I’m desperately hoping too. Let’s get back together. Huh?”

Even Ashley came forward and complained as if she was clinging to me.

Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to burst into tears.

“I will listen carefully to what you say, so please stop wandering outside and come back home. I will do really well. It’s true.”

Just when she was about to embrace me, I suddenly heard Melissa’s voice.

“Are you here?”

“Melissa. Are you here too?”

“Then I should come too. You were invited.”

I broke away from Ashley, who was close to me, and lightly held hands with Melissa.

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to come because I finished late due to school work.”

“I wasn’t very busy today.”

She said it casually, but her party outfit was a short skirt and blouse.

Definitely office look.

It didn’t fit here.

It was clear that they came in a hurry.

From what I could see, she must have been nervous that I would go back to Ashley.

don’t worry.

I’m not getting back together.

“Oh, by the way. Naru I have something to tell you. Mrs. Ashley? Let me borrow a naru for a moment. Because it’s about school.”

“If I go with you… ”

“No.”

Melissa responded sharply and grabbed my arm.

“You come here.”

“What’s going on?”

You will know it when you see “.”

The voice seemed determined.

He grabbed my arm and led me to a corner as if I was being dragged.

Then, without anyone knowing, he gently stepped on my instep with the high heel of his high heel.

“Ugh… ! It hurts. Get your feet off me. You’re stepping on my toes.”

“Noisy.”

Does she look like a devilish grandmother?

She put her face in front of me with a fierce expression, as if she was going to eat me.

“You blow honestly. Did you touch the kids?”

“You’re touching me? What do you mean?”

“This is how you play it off, right?”

Kuuk.

As more force was applied to the heel, the top of my foot felt like it was going to break through.

I shuddered.

“Oh, it hurts… ! stop… !”

“Don’t worry, I won’t die. Anyway, Hazley and Lydia. You touched their bodies. Right?”

Shit.

Was it caught… !

I smiled weakly despite the pain.

“Amazing? I could quit my job as a professor and become an investigator.”

“Are you admitting it?”

Kuuk.

“Ahh… ! It hurts!”

“At first, even Hazley was fooled. But when I saw Lydia, I understood. what? A mysterious elixir obtained during an adventure? I’ve been on adventures with you and known you for several years, but I’ve never heard of you having such an elixir. In other words, that’s bullshit, and your fucking semen changed them.”

“Okay, if it goes well, that’s fine… !”

“Who told me to flirt with a student without my knowledge? Did you forget what I said?”

“Uh, what… ?”

“I told you that your dick is my exclusive dick.”

Was that the problem?!

Melissa chuckles.

The eyes are creepy.

“I guess he’s having an affair outside because he’s so energetic even after having fun with me every night. It won’t work.”

She put her lips to my ear and whispered hotly.

“I know that I will take strict care from today.”

“What management?”

“ character. ji. coffin. lee. If you do it 6 times at night, 2 times in the morning before work, and 1 time while working at school, you won’t be able to think about other people even if you’re exhausted, right?”

“Melissa, calm down. That’s hard for you too.”

“Don’t you know that I’m a sex-obsessed bitch?”

As if to wait and see, she licks her upper lip with her tongue.

At that time, the butler’s voice was heard from the deepest part of the hall.

“Please pay attention everyone! Let the event begin! A proud son-in-law of our Rapone family! What a great son-in-law! Lord Naru, please come up to the podium!”
