Chapter 189 – Appearance (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leah had been in love with Blain for a long time. He had stood by her and cared for her after she lost her mother. She still vividly remembered the moment when she had confessed her feelings for him, in a beautiful garden full of peonies. With a peony trembling in her hand, she had told him she loved him, and Blain had said they would have a great wedding.

Every time Blain upset her, she remembered that day. The warmth of the sunshine, the cool breeze, and the happiness she had felt…in spite of his cold words and actions, she knew he loved her.

But sometimes he would push her to the limit, as if he was trying to test her. Today was no different.

“Arent you jealous?”

At his question, Leahs hands froze on her cutlery. She had come to dine at the main palace at his request, and she slowly swallowed the food in her mouth.

“Dont you feel anything even if Im with another girl in front of you?” He asked again.

Leahs lips quivered. She wasnt sure how she should answer that question.

“…All right,” she said hesitantly, trying to guess what he wanted. Of course her pride was hurt, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was defective. She could not fulfill her role as his wife. She had no choice but to tolerate it.

But Blain didnt seem to like that answer. His gaze turned fierce and his knife clicked loudly against his dish.

“You dont care what I do?” He asked dangerously.
