Chapter 13

Even before Eric finished his sentence, Chloe visibly brightened up. She smiled brightly and clasped her hands together as though she was a child given candy.

“It’s been so long!”

Before she was married, she often went to banquets. However, after her marriage when she headed up north, she never attended a single ball in all those five years.

One reason was because she was too far from the capital, but truthfully she was reluctant to attend on her own. She also didn’t want to talk to anyone about her married life.

This marriage was for the sake of selling her for money, it was a marriage without love…

No, that’s not it. Chloe loves her husband.

No matter how many times she said this, there was no way anyone would believe her. So Chloe naturally left the social world.

Although it was her own choice, it’s true that she sometimes missed going to balls.

But then again… What did he mean by royal banquet? Chloe was about to jump up in anticipation.

However, this joy was brief. A dark expression soon dawned over her features as she looked up at Eric.

“But, darling…”

She carefully opened her lips, trying to gauge the emotions that would flash over Eric’s face.

“The dress—it’ll be expensive.”

“Wife.”

Eric’s black eyes were lit up with rage. His brows were furrowed and he loosened the tie of his expensive suit that he wore intentionally today.

“I wonder why you keep making me angry.”

“…Ah.”

“I’m always curious about this.”

Chloe wrung her fingers together and dropped her head.

She made a mistake.

She did something wrong.

She didn’t know what it was, but she was wrong anyhow.

With her head down, she couldn’t meet his eyes.

“I’ll see you by the entrance in two hours.”

So she didn’t even see what kind of expression her husband had.

It was her first time going on an outing with Eric.

Over the course of five years.

Chloe couldn’t hide her excitement.

Cough!

But her body did not follow her thoughts. Her heart ached and her lungs were labored. Again.

She could feel that she might cough up blood. She took a handful of medicine and gulped it all down, breathing heavily right after.

No, please no.

‘Don’t show how sick you are in front of him.’

If she gets caught being sick like this, he’ll be angry once more.

“Haa…”

Chloe leaned back on the armchair she was sitting on, breathing roughly. Then, she slowly looked out the window.

She saw a train running despite the blizzard. The train that moved forward blew out black smoke. Chloe stared at it blankly.
