When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 65

Oscar and Laritte continued to chat.

“So Ian was going to teach me, but my appointment was delayed again because I hurt my ankle.”

“Ma’am is interested in horse riding, isn’t she? In my opinion, a white horse will suit you the best. White horses are usually a quiet breed.”

Laritte’s blue eyes sparkled at Oscar’s words. He was an observant man, so he was able to read Laritte’s desire.

“My horse Frederick will be here in the stable. Does Ma’am want to meet him?”

“That’s a great idea.”

Surprised, Ian interrupted their conversation, “Never. The stable is on the opposite side of the building. It’d be too much for her.”

Laritte’s excited spirit began to protest, “I know it’s less than 15 minutes away.”

“Yes, it is! 15 minutes away.”

“I’m not going outside the Duchy.”

“Anyway, it’s not possible. I can’t give you permission”, her eyes became cold as he declared.

Their opinions were bound to be divided. The lives they both led were different until now. Laritte knew she had no risk of getting hurt in this!

But eventually, she gave up. She was aware of the location. Permission? Yes, she was in a position to obtain Ian’s permission.

“Okay then, so be it. I have no choice but to obey you. Because I’m your wife”, her voice carrying emptiness.

Ian flinched at the words she uttered without any ill intentions. He never knew his wife’s words could make him feel so attacked!

However, looking back on his recent behavior, he remembered how he forcibly controlled his wife. Don’t do this because it’s dangerous. Don’t touch that either. Let me check before you do anything unusual. Laritte wasn’t bothered, so she complied. But this… this was growing to be a problem.
