Can Someone Please Explain This Situation - Chapter 60

Although I returned to my room, I can’t recover from what happened in the kitchen. It left me completely exhausted.

I got to the bed, dragging my feet in the floor, trying not to think anything and fill myself with energy from the bed’s comfort.

Let’s calm down for the time being. I mean, I don’t care, I just worry about being kicked out and not seeing any more my friends.

I’m being healed by the fluffy bed,

“Let’s not worry. Lotus is investigating this with urgency.”

I feel like I want to be alone for now. I have a lot of things to think about.

But when I’m in the mansion, I can’t calm down because there are servants’ eyes all over the place, looking with care at me. It’s warm to be so loved, but I don’t want to worry them when I feel down. I want to run away…

Don’t I have a private place for me to be alone?!

I remembered the existence of that place.

Yes, the separate building!

I don’t know when it changed, but for the time being, the renewed annex, which is nicely refurbished to my liking, feels like it’s my private place. Even though it’s said to be used by my husband as well. It’s a nice feeling. It’s perfect for me who can’t go home and want to be alone. There are also beds that are just as comfortable as this one, and if I get tired of thinking, there are books I like to distract myself with! Let’s go to the annex!

I got up and went there.

“I’m going to the annex for a moment. Please let me be alone for a while.”

I told Dahlia, who was by my side. Dahlia didn’t hold me back, just lowered her eyes,

“It’s a cool place. I’ll prepare you sweets and tea there.”

She quickly accepted.

For the time being, I changed into a simple one piece dress and went to the separate building with Dahlia. She promised to let me be by myself but be on standby if I called her.

The annex was kept clean with no dust, so that it could be used anytime. Such marvelous place! I applauded the employee’s work.

It was a little early for tea as the merchant came to the mansion and dropped the bomb right after lunch. I’m usually walking around the house at this time or weeding in the garden, but I don’t have that kind of energy today. Well, there are some days, when we feel tired or dejected, so it’s okay to rest and relax.

Dahlia was still worried about me, but nevertheless, she did as promise.

“Sometimes it’s ok to go slowly. If you’d like, I can bring you supper here too.”

Good idea!

I was left alone for the first time in a long time. After coming to the Duke’s House, there was always someone nearby, not just Dahlia and Mimosa. I feel relieved to be here alone now.

I sink into the couch and take a break.

As I said earlier, it’s still a bit early for tea time, but I think that I should relax, so I will ask Dahlia to prepare something to drink.

After a while, she came with several types of herbal tea, and even a specialty of herbal tea to relax for bonus. I was able to feel that everything was carefully prepared according to my taste. I felt something like my mother’s love after a long time. Ah, but my mother isn’t so smart. At best, she will help you sleep! Nothing so elaborated. “ It’s probably this, what made me laugh the most after so long.

My favorite was chamomile herbal tea.

Let’s think about the future while drinking this gentle scented tea slowly. And!!! Let’s sleep!! All problems are cured if you sleep! (Also mother’s teachings)

Is he buying a small villa for a young mistress? But my husband’s preference was older women. Did he expand the loving range?

If this rumor is real, my husband is a really bad guy. If it’s real, it means that every day he has been going back to the mansion from the workplace, he has gone first to have a secret meeting with the mistress.

…? Where does he get the time for secret meetings?? Is he so free?

After breaking up with his first lover, he came straight home almost every day (even in terms of time, it matches with his work end time), and even if he has taken a few vacations, he spent it at the house or went shopping with me. The night of the party he was also here with me.

The more I think about it, the less it seems real.

…… Oh, and here I am. I had run away because I thought my husband was cheating. Ohohohoho ☆

It’s a bit like… a bad idea? But it sounds good and cool!!

For the time being, if I’m suddenly told to get out of the house, I will come out with the things I currently have on me! I almost have no personal belongings, so it’s easy to move fast.

It seems that I’ll have to wait for Lotus report, so let’s take a nap here for the time being. Let’s sleep and wait.

I tidy up the tea set and dive into the bed.

It was the first time for me to sleep on the annex bed, but it was just like my room’s bed. I was sleeping as soon as I touched the fluffy bed. But how long had passed, isn’t everything suddenly shaking? And it’s a pretty big shake.

“Fee ~? Earthquake ~? The house looks fine, but what if it collapses?”

I get up suddenly and run out, but while running, I had covered my head with my hands… as we usually do for protection of falling things.

“It’s not an earthquake. Viola! Look!”

Someone else’s voice came into my hears. Even though it was only me in the annex. And it was a man’s voice.

…… A man? ! No, this voice is from my husband! !

As I looked up, his face was clear.

“Fuwa! My husband!”

Some time ago, there was a similar situation, where his beautiful face appeared at a very close distance from mine.

I don’t like it, it makes my heart waver, so I would like for him to stop it… But! I was surprised because of the recent rumor. Should he be with his mistress?

My husband called me without worrying about such things?

Does he want me to leave the house?

“I heard the story from Lotus. Let me know your decision.”

I can see his usual smile, and there is no atmosphere that makes me say “No, it isn’t that.”.

I think, I should ask what does he want for now.

“Huh? Then, from now on? Where will you reside?”

I asked.

It seemed that I had slept for a long time, and the surroundings were already dark.

“You’re suspicious of me!!”

“Suspicious? Ah … well… what is there to not be suspicious?”

“Is that so?”

My husband felt awkward and violently voiced,

“I’m not going to take you in a carriage at this hour, it’ll take time, so I’ll skip it. You hold me tight.”

He hugged me and started to run out.

The place where I arrived was, the entrance of the main building, and there was a beautiful black horse in front of it.

Out of my husband’s arms, I was placed on the horse, and he sat behind me and took the reins.

This is not my first horse ride. But this speed will become an absolute trauma! …… I am slightly upset by the intensity of the riding.

Even if I’m hugged by my husband, my legs are stiff and I won’t be able to walk! That was too much!

When we went down of the horse, and he saw me swaying, he went back to holding me princess style again.

It’s okay because I can’t stand anyway. I overlooked the area, but I can’t see at all because it’s so dark. We have come a long way from the mansion. There is a small house in front of where we are standing, and the light spilling from the window shows that the house is old and a little in ruins.

Is this the “edge of the capital” that the merchant said?

“Ah ~? Is this the place of the rumor?”

I ask my husband,

“Yes. From now on, this is going to be our very important secret place.”

His answer lightened a bigger doubt on me. Moreover, he still has the guts to present a serious face. “A pretty important secret place”

Very meaningful…

“Is it good to bring me to such an important place?”

“That’s because it’s you. You won’t reveal secrets to others lightly?”

“Huh … well … that’s true.”

My husband showed his usual sparkly smile here. The chilly atmosphere was softened.

“Well, are we going inside?”

Having said that, my husband showed a little excitement, and then proceeded to the small house in front of us.

Suddenly I will have to face the mistress!? In the first place, my husband hadn’t explained anything yet, I’m not prepared!!

When I entered the house, there was a small living room. And there were already six or seven people there. I was surprised because it didn’t look like there were people from outside.

There were men who dressed like servants and women who looked like priestess.

And a beautiful young woman in a luxurious dress was sitting on the couch.

I can feel their gazes all at once.

On the other hand, I am still held in the arms of my husband. I don’t know why, but I feel very warm inside.

But this is a confirmed allegation, right?! In this situation, my heart must not waver!! My husband is a cheating guy!!

No matter how you look, the woman is a noble daughter from some well-known house.

This means the end of my role!
