Chapter 44

Laritte was still pondering when the carriage arrived at its destination.

“Laritte, I’ll be right back. Please wait here.”
“Oh, ah….. Yes. Where are you going?”

Ian left her with only the words that he had some business to attend.

Laritte peered outside the door of the carriage.

It was a small mansion.

The lights around the house were bright. The garden at the distance was covered in darkness.

It could be the house of any ordinary aristocrat.

What stood out was that the mansion looked quite new.

Did the person move in recently?

“I’m stopping only for a while. It wouldn’t take long.”

She realized that Ian strangely didn’t mention the purpose.

“You’re going to talk about work, aren’t you?”

Then, she could easily guess why he wanted to leave her.

She thought women shouldn’t be involved in important business discussions among the family owners.

Count Brumayer did not even bother Rose at hours of his work. No matter how cutely Rose acted. He always shouted whenever Rose swarmed in. He wouldn’t even ask why she was barging in.

“Well, it’s work.”

Ian evaded her eye by answering.

In truth, he didn’t stop by this mansion for work.

There lived a relative of his own who was lucky enough to become rich at a lightning rate.

There was no reason for a Duke to talk business in such a place.

Laritte remained calm and silent.

“I can wait for you, so go ahead.”

Like a puppy waiting for its owner.

She did not say that she had the right to follow him since she was the Duchess.

She was aware of who gave her the title.

She closed the carriage door as she saw Ian moving away.

Her hand pressed down on the dress, the frills of which were hovering with the light breeze. The texture was soft and gentle.

It made her feel alive.

This was all an unimaginable luxury for her just a year ago.

Thanks to Ian, she could wear a pretty dress and put on makeup. She even had such good people as servants.
