Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

Chapter 131

Chapter 131

I mean, something is wrong.

Sitting on the terrace drinking tea, I suddenly murmured.

Then Irene, who was standing next to me, tilted her head.

What are you talking about?

Just. Everything.

I folded my arms and frowned.

My strange feeling tells me that something bad is happening right now. I dont know what this is, but it doesnt feel right.

Irene still looks puzzled.

I dont understand what youre talking about.

Yeah. I dont know either.

I dont know what Im talking about.

But the gut feeling that boils deep inside me speaks strongly. Something is wrong.

What is that something?

Is it Largo?

I still looked back at Irene with my arms folded.

When will the 2nd Prince go back?

I dont know. I told them to let me know as soon as he go back.

Good job. You do everything on your own even if I dont tell you right? What a pretty thing.

Hehe. Irene smiled and blushed.

I left her behind and thought again.

My heart doesnt beat so much when I talk about Largo. I mean, theres no anxiety. Then what is it? While I was wondering what was making me feel so uncomfortable, I raised my head by mistake.

How about Theo?

My heart pounded as soon as I asked about Theo. 

Yeah, its Theo! The cause of this uneasiness!

When I was going to get myself up right away. Irene replied, trying to stop me.

Madam sent him for an errand. Hes not here yet.

Ah, right.

Come to think of it, I told Theo to go to the mercenary guild this morning.

Is it because of that?

What kind of news do I expect to hear from the Mercenary Guild?

Hell be here soon. It hasnt been long since he left.

Yeah. I know.

I tried to calm myself by answering.

My intuition is quite right, so I shouldnt have ignored it at times like this. So I had to talk to Theo when he came back.

It was time to continue thinking like this.

H, huh?

Irene pointed outside the terrace in a slightly surprised voice.

What happened? 

I stuck my head out and looked where Irene pointed.

There was none other than Largo!

What? Why is he over there?

I was so surprised that I muttered, forgetting to even call him a prince.

Because Largo was looking at me!

Then our eyes met. 

His bloodthirsty face, the way he stared at me as if to tear me to death, was so frightening.

Gulp. 

Dry saliva goes straight through.

Largo raised his hand.

Then he put it on his neck and made a gesture of cutting his neck. While looking straight to me. 

I think hes making a gesture like he want to kill me. Did I see something wrong?

No. I think you see it very well.

Oh my.

I touched my forehead.

No matter how much he hate me, its so childish!

I thought I shouldnt show my fear here.

So I looked straight at Largo and raised my hand carefully.

And spread out the middle finger.

Screw you.

******

Theo moved slowly, very slowly.

He is headed to the Duke of Ryzens mansion.

Because that was his home and nest.

Usually, his feet werent this heavy on the way back. But why? Why are his feet so heavy today?

This was definitely because of the woman who came to visit him earlier.

It was precisely because of what she said.

If you listen to me, you can make Ophelia yours.

He shouldnt have heard that. What is she talking about? He should have let go and run away.

But Theo couldnt.

As the woman said, Ophelia to him.

I want her.

He know this desire should be ignored.

He knows well that he should not have such a bad desire for the benefactor who saved him.

But the mind doesnt always move as people think. Theo had greed, and the small greed grew from meeting Fleur. He stuck his head out. 

If you do as I say, you can make Ophelia apart from the Duke. 

Then you could be by Ophelias side.

How, dont you want it? 

If Theo had been a little more mature, that is, if he had been an adult and able to think more intelligently, he would have known just how absurd Fleurs words were.

But Theo was young. Young and immature. That is why he didnt notice the blackness hidden in Fleurs words.

If only I could be with Madam

Theo recalled Ophelia.

He recalled the moment she saved his life. At that time, she was more like a hero than anyone else, so Theo vowed to be loyal to her.

Cant he keep that vow by her side?

Theos mind shook in confusion.

It was then. 

Theo!

A familiar voice was heard. 

It was Ophelia. 

Madam?

Theo looked back a little surprised, wondering if Ophelia would welcome him. He saw Ophelia running towards him. 

Ugh, Im tired.

Ophelia breathed heavily and wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.

Did you have a good trip?

Then she smiles at Theo.

The smile was so dazzling that Theo couldnt help but frowning for a moment. Ophelia felt like a bright sun, maybe more.

Theo?

Ah, yes.

Theo hurriedly came to his senses.

The mercenary guild only asked me to tell you that there was no profit. Ill look into it a little more.

Is that so?

Ophelia bit her lips softly.

This cant be

What she had to ask the Mercenary Guild to find out was the magic circle Largo had.

Tsk. 

You have to pay for it!

She wanted to shout, but since the Duchess has the dignity, she try to put up with it. Ophelia took a deep breath. 

And?

Ophelia asked Theo.

Is there something happened?

Theos eyes shook.

Something happened. 

There is one. 

Didnt he meet Countess Fleur, whom Ophelia told him not to meet?

Should he talk about this or not? Theo is at a crossroads.

The worry was not long.

Yes.

Theo replied indifferently.

Nothing happened.

Ophelia replied it was okay then, and Theo said goodbye and hurriedly left the place.

At that moment, he thought. 

Can I have her? 

With such a wicked heart.

******

Back in the room, I could see Sylvester sitting on the sofa.

Whats going on, at such an early hour?

I said while pointing out the still clear view. Sylvester tilted his head back and looked at me.

I was tired, so I left early.

Well. Talking to Largo must have been exhausting. 

I asked, sitting next to Sylvester.

What did you talk about with 2nd Prince?

Well, we didnt talk much. It was just a superficial conversation.

Sylvester replied, pressing down between his brows. Then he glanced back and looked at me.

But he was quite angry at you.

I dont know why.

I heard you broke your promise.

I felt a slight guilty conscience and dropped my shoulder without realizing it.

Is that true?

Thats true. 

Its not me, its Ophelias dealings with Largo and the magic circle. 

But how can I tell him the truth?

No.

I shook my head in a hurry.

What promise? I have no idea.

Sylvesters eyes narrowed.

My wife is a terrible liar.

He reached out and stroked my cheek. Then, in an instant, he grabbed me by the back of my neck and laid me down on the sofa.

Are you not going to tell me?

Ah, wait!

I tried to shake it off, but Sylvester never got away from me. He buried his face in the back of my neck.

Still?

Honey!

No, I cant stop unless while talking.

His hard thighs touched. In an instant, heat rose through my body. 

Uh, its still the middle of the day!

Who cares? As long as we like it.

Sylvester kissed me slightly on the cheek and put his hand into my dress.

And soon there will be a ball to celebrate the return of the 2nd Prince.

Then he whispers in my ear.

He was hoping you to attend.

Oh, this is kind of strange.

I wanted to talk and think, but I couldnt because Sylvesters hand came in mercilessly.

Ah, honey!

I tried to stop him somehow, but I was helpless.

As it is, we spent the evening together.
