Chapter 92

Olivia was standing in the hallway, staring at the wall. It was completely different from the look she had on her face before, and when she ran away. She made a gesture to put an expensive candlestick placed on a shelf on the wall into her sleeve. But, startled by Laritte’s call, she put the candlestick back in place before turning to Laritte.

“Oh my! Did you follow your mother out of concern?”

Laritte let out a small sigh. It was foolish to think that this person would have given her a peach. Perhaps Laritte was so tormented, she dreamt that up.

“Don’t steal candlesticks, Olivia.”

“What! Stealing?! I was just looking around,” Olivia laughed exaggeratedly. She tried to change the topic. “Come to think of it, shall we sleep together today? Can’t a daughter spend time with her mother after such a long time?”

Alice and Irene, who followed Laritte, exchanged glances of astonishment. They expected their Madam to refuse, but Laritte nodded her head obediently.

Olivia smiled broadly, “really? I feel sorry for the Duke. But he will forgive me for spending just a day with my daughter, won’t he?”

“Don’t worry about it. We use separate rooms.” Olivia expected Laritte to share the same room with Ian, which was why she looked surprised.

“……Why so? You seem to be on good terms with each other, don’t you?”

Laritte was offended by her choice of words, but she chose to let it go, “There were some circumstances.” Like Olivia, Laritte had misunderstood Ian because of separate rooms. For now, she was only focused on the stage of touching with each date that the annexation had been postponed.

“Anyway, I have to go back to the dining room now. I told Ian I’d be back.”

“Then I’ll go to your room first.”

As soon as Olivia left, Alice stamped her feet. Covering her cheeks, she screamed to Laritte. “You can’t, Madam! You’ll be in the same room with her?”

“Hmm, I think so?” Laritte wasn’t too concerned about it. On the contrary, it was a good opportunity. She could find out why Olivia was here, and if she was after money.
