Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

“My lord, madam! Have you been there… Hah…”

Wolff, who was greeting them and opening the door to her villa, trailed off when he saw Escalion standing in front of him.

With the lord… flower…?

The lord, who had a huge physique, was wearing a beautiful, large flower in his ear.

Wolff wondered if the person in question didn’t know, so he raised his hand carefully without being rude.

“My lord, on your ears, on your ears… Now, wait a minute, something….”

“Does it fit well?”

“What? Well, that….”

“My wife says it suits me well.”

Yes! It suits you very well! Belladonna, the person who made him like that, smiled proudly.

Escalion calmly moved his legs and entered the villa.

He was smiling pleasantly, with his arm around Bella’s waist.

Wolff, who was looking back at the friendly owner and his wife as they entered the villa, stood still and blinked.

Could it be that you’ve been walking around like that all day?

Escalion, who had entered the villa and examined Bella’s face, turned his head and talk to Wolff.

“Dinner will be ready in about an hour. So that we can eat it right after we wash up.”

“Ah! all right!”

Wolff wiped his puzzled face and quickly turned towards the restaurant to prepare a meal.

No matter what, the two of you were having fun, so I thought that was it.

Entering her couple’s bedroom, Belladonna flopped down on the bed and let out a small sigh.

When she went out after breakfast, she had been wandering around for longer than expected.

“Hah… It’s definitely hot.”

Escalion, who came in together, passed her and stood in front of the wardrobe on one side of the room, then crossed his hands in an X and immediately took off his jacket.

Belladonna swallowed her dry saliva as she noticed the curved muscles of his side that were revealed in an instant.

It was such an enormous muscle that I could never get used to it.

He dropped his removed top to the floor and opened the closet to look for his clothes to change into, then turned his body around and strode towards Belladonna.

Huh…?

Belladonna was taken aback by the sudden rush and her eyes widened. Is he coming to me?

“Wait for a sec.”

Escalion muttered lowly and stretched out his hand towards her.

Belladonna cringed, her body stiff with tension.

What…?

But his large hand didn’t come towards her, but instead went straight to the nightstand next to her and picked up a bundle of the letters lying on it.

Oh, what a surprise…

“Are these all from me?”

When he asked, picking up her letters, Belladonna nodded her small head.

He glanced at Belladonna who was surprised and and chuckled, then he stood still and started flipping through them one by one, looking at the recipient.

“……”

Without realizing it, I felt like my body was becoming stiff for another reason.

If Escalion finds Scarlett Layton’s name there…

I wondered how he would react, but at the same time I felt a reluctance that I didn’t want to know any more.

After thinking for a moment, Belladonna quietly lifted her eyes and examined Escalion’s expression.

I wanted to check the change in his expression the moment he discovered Scarlett Layton’s name.

However, even though he flipped through all the envelopes and checked the recipients, he showed no particular reaction.

The indifferent golden eyes that had not changed from beginning to end suddenly turned towards her.

“Bella.”

Huh…? Belladonna flinched and blinked her eyes, as she had been concentrating without realizing it.

He was looking at her with an unknown look in his eyes.

“If you’re tired, you can wash first and come out.”

“…….”

“I’ll call the maid.”

Before answering, Escalion turned and walked towards the door.

After opening the door and sticking his head out into the hallway, he gave an order to someone standing outside, and it wasn’t long before Cindy appeared.

“Lady… I will help you take a bath. I got the water in advance.”

Cindy, her face downcast, grabbed Bella’s arm and gave it a light squeeze.

She slowly raised her body, and Belladonna looked back at Escalion, who had already taken a seat in front of the table and had begun to open the envelopes of his letters one by one and examine their contents.

“…….”

Although he still had an indifferent and businesslike face, it was impossible to know that he cared about Belladonna.

So, you’re going to have Cindy send me to the bathroom… Does it make you uncomfortable if I’m there?

Belladonna let out a small sigh and moved her legs towards the bathroom.

“Lady… I’m really sorry.”

As I entered the bathtub with white steam rising and leaned against it, Cindy placed warm water on my shoulders above the water and said,

When Belladonna lifted her head, she let out a look on her face that looked like she was about to cry.

“I guess I was too hasty. I should have checked properly to see if my lady was following along… Perhaps because I had been wandering around for so long with my lasy, I was obsessed with the idea of finding a way….”

At Cindy’s words, Belladonna moved her arm and stroked her downcast shoulders.

She had been apologizing continuously since earlier. You don’t have to go this far…

Besides, Escalion had a ton knights attached anyway?

But Cindy still couldn’t relax her expression.

“I almost got into big trouble… Even if you kick me out, I have nothing to say….”

Why do I will kick you away… … !

Bella shook her head as if it wasn’t it and comforted her.

“You really forgive me…?”

Nod!

In response to Bella response, Cindy lowered her head with a tearful face.

“Thank you, ma’am…! I will be more sane from now on. Okay, actually, I was worried because my ladu didn’t seem to be in a good mood before she left. Still, it was nice to see the two of you looking happy when you came back.”

“…….”

“Ah, I heard the lord came back with a flower on his ear?”

Cindy let out a small laugh, still holding back tears.

“The only person in the world who can do that to our lord is you.”

Do you think so?

But even with Cindy’s words, I didn’t feel much better.

Scarlett could have done more, right?

I kept feeling crooked.

“Thanks to this, the servants had an interesting time watching.”

Cindy spoke in the brightest voice possible to brighten the mood, but not a single word was heard.

Belladonna felt like she was in deep pain for some reason, and just stirred the water.

A few minutes later, she washed up with warm water and Belladonna sat in front of the dressing table.

Cindy stood behind her, drying her long hair with the towel and opened her mouth.

“Ma’am, I think dinner will be ready by now. Would you like to come down and eat right away?”

Dinner… What about Escalion?
Instead of answering, Belladonna turned her gaze into the mirror and looked at Escalion.

He was sitting in a crooked posture, casting his gaze over a pile of stationery.

“…….”

“Woah, my lord! How should you eat?”

As Belladonna stared at Escalion without answering, Cindy turned her head and asked:

Only then did Escalion, noticing her gaze reflected in the mirror, stand up from his seat.

He came closer to Belladonna, played with her dry hair and opened her mouth.

“Bella, go down and eat first. I guess I have some business to take care of before I eat.”

“……”

Things to do before eating…?

For a moment, a feeling of disappointment washed over me. Is it because of Scarlett?

Even though I had been with him all afternoon this afternoon, I couldn’t shake the depressing feeling that he was leaving me right away with a single letter from her.

“What’s wrong with your expression?”

Escalion, who noticed her darkened expression, quickly lowered his head and asked.

Normally she would have immediately put a beautiful smile on her face and shook her head as if it was nothing, but she didn’t feel that way right now.

I felt anxious, sad, and frustrated.

“Bella.”

He looked embarrassed and called her name again.

I couldn’t understand why she, who seemed fine until a moment ago, had sank again.

Damn it, what’s the problem…? I definitely said I would keep the secret…

In an instant, he was out of breath and a feeling of nervousness shook him.

“……..”

Finally, Belladonna forcibly pulled in the corner of her mouth and shook her head.

It was only later that I realized that showing off my bad feelings now wouldn’t help anyone.

Cindy, who was standing quietly in the back and observing the subtle silence and embarrassed expression of the owner and his wife, quickly opened her mouth.

“I… Hey, my lord! I think it’s because she’s tired! I washed her with warm water, and she took a little nap in the bathtub. So, wouldn’t it be better to have dinner brought to her room?”

Belladonna nodded quickly, thanking Cindy for her quick wit in our hearts.

that’s right. I was sleepy for a moment, i was sleepy…

“Okay, then prepare the meal in the room.”

At her words, Escalion spoke with a slightly relaxed face.

He looked at Bella’s expression carefully again, then turned around.

“I’ll be here before you go to bed, so enjoy your dinner. Eat a lot.”

Belladonna smiled slightly and nodded her head.

As he, relieved, disappeared out of the door, Cindy also put down the towel she was holding and said.

“Ma’am, I will also come back with dinner. Can you stay for a moment?”

When Cindy left the room, Belladonna slowly turned her head, leaving her alone.

She cast her gaze over the table where Escalion had been sitting a moment ago.

“…….”

She was curious.

I was very curious about the contents of Scarlett’s letter.

Belladonna got up from her seat and walked towards the table where stationery was strewn about.

She stopped near her table, took a moment to catch her breath, and then carefully stretched out her hand.

‘Is it okay to do this…?’

Belladonna, who hesitated while clumsily extending her hand, looked back at her door, which was closed tightly.

If there was ever a chance, now was the only time.

Swallowing her dry saliva, she quickly moved her hands and began searching for Scarlett Layton’s letter.

Hurry… hurry…!

Perhaps because she was impatient, she couldn’t find the letter she was looking for among the numerous letters.

Belladonna continued to shuffle through the pile of letters, listening to the signs of presence in the hallway.

‘Found!’

Soon, Belladonna found an envelope with Scarlett Layton’s name written on it and quickly took out letter from it.

She quickly moved her eyes and skimmed through her content.

“…Huh? Is this it?”

I thought it would be long and full of affection, but Scarlett Layton’s letter was shorter and more concise than I expected.

Her letter had just one line written in a beautiful, fluid handwriting that resembled hers.
