When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 90

Inside the dark closet, Ian put a hand behind Laritte’s neck. There was only one piece of maids’ uniform inside the closet. It brushed past his hair as he leaned down and hugged Laritte. He seemed to be committing a very dangerous crime, merely by hugging her.

The space was narrow, so they had no choice but to stick their bodies together. ‘Okay, I finished my goal for today,’ Laritte thought. ‘It’s going very smoothly. Everything is going according to plan.’ They held thirty times until the thirtieth day of dating. Today was the thirty-first. The day they stepped into the next level, that is, the hugging stage.

Laritte was satisfied. While she recalled the contents of the book of dating advice, Ian was also immersed in his own thoughts. She said they had to hug and kiss for thirty more days. Then wouldn’t it be okay to kiss?

At that time, Olivia’s faint voice was heard in the hallway outside. “There was something here…..,” she groaned as she approached the closet. Ian and Laritte held their breath. Olivia’s shadow obscured the light coming through the crack of the door. Ian and Laritte exchanged looks. ……If they were caught doing terrible things.

Laritte still had her head raised. Ian had leaned down to hug her, but the space was so tight that she had to lift her heels. Still, she was timid to put her head on his shoulder. She glanced at Olivia’s shadow passing by.

She carefully moved her hand, relying on her senses. Ian also felt her touch. Why was she holding his hand? He could hear his own breaths now. “L-Laritte?”

“Shhh,” Laritte quieted him. She put her heels back on the floor, leaning on Ian’s chest. This position was more comfortable. But then, Ian was more likely to have a heart attack. He froze, their hands interlocked……

Eventually, Olivia left again. Ian and Laritte made sure she was nowhere around. Then, Laritte opened the door, after a while of fumbling to find the handle on the wooden surface of the door. She escaped the narrow closet first. Ian asked when she stepped into the hallway. “Why the hand…..?” Laritte had an indifferent expression as if it was obvious.

“Yes? We’re dating, can’t we even hold hands?” It was obvious. But Ian was still curious.

“Did the book say anything like that?” Laritte took advice from a book to make her first date a success. Ian also Ackles and followed her obsession, but she was suddenly straying away from the path the book led.

Even Laritte couldn’t understand him. “Of course, books are the best guides.” The author was an excellent orator, so it became more influential as the chapters went on.

only flashed a faint smile. She saw her reflection on the knight armor kept at the side of the hallway. Good! Her relationship was perfectly ordinary.

time, Ian was left alone in the closet. When Laritte left, he shut the door back and fell into a deep silence. He felt cheated, but he was also in a good mood. Simple. Because he hugged her. He thought he would lose the lingering feeling of it if he got out of
