When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy - Chapter 5

“I’d rather go on a picnic by the lake next week or next time.”

By then, the weather will clear, so it will be a good time to go out for a picnic.

I should take him to a scenic spot and let him swim to his heart’s content.

I’ll have to tell Cesare about this too.

It was perfect for developing the romance of swimming together in a blue lake.

And last.

“Reading… Hmm.”

Cesare’s mansion had a large study.

It had a wide variety of books as much as its enormous size, and when I visited it, I was amazed by it.

It was made in a well-lit place, so it was a pleasant space in the daytime, where the warm sunlight was gently shining through the window.

I also had the key to the library.

The problem was that Cesare spent a lot of time there.

Cesare is on the verge of anger when I look over Gabriel, so I was not confident that I would go to the library with Gabriel and see Cesare’s uproar.

I think Gabriel will like it when he looks at the library, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

I’d rather pick up a few books and bring them to you.

“Great, It’s complete!”

I folded the completed plan neatly and put it in the desk drawer.

As it is, we’re going to start with the little things.

If possible, I would like to have an agreement with both Cesare and Gabriel.

With alimony to play and eat for the rest of my life!

*****

The original work started, but it was Cesare and Gabriel’s job to play the role because of love issues, and I had a job to do as the mansion’s hostess.

The festival held in the estate every year was already a month away.

Since it is a fairly large-scale event, we had to prepare in advance, but this is another pile of documents to be processed.

How the hell did you do the bookkeeping here so the accounting looks like this?

There are lots of holes here and there, probably because someone ate them in the middle.

How much did they steal? It is quite large.

‘Before I possessed it, It said Daphne entrusted the general manager to organize the books.’

Somehow, I had a reasonable suspicion that the butler was the culprit.

“Whew.”

My head hurts.

Rather, I wanted to continue pretending to be ignorant like Daphne in the original.

But knowing Daphne’s terrible ending, I didn’t want to make anything that would be reprehensible.

I was prepared to quietly back down without getting Gabriel’s favor and not stopping Cesare’s love, but it would be very unfair if I got caught in the wrong place.

However, there is no evidence to immediately run to Cesare and accuse the butler of embezzlement.

On the contrary, I may have a headwind.

Do I need to collect evidence for this as well?

“Madam. Can I pour more chamomile tea?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Shannet gave me another cup of tea as I was moaning and having a headache.

Drinking hot tea seemed to calm my mind a little.

As I leaned back in my chair and took a break, an unexpected visitor came to me.

“Daphne.”

“Cesare. What happen?”

I got up quickly.

I glanced out the window, but it was still bright day.

Cesare rarely came to visit me during the day when I was usually at work.

Why are you here?

“Anything you want to say to me…”

I don’t think I did anything to offend Cesare.

Cesare furrowed his brow as he looked like he had a lot to say. Soon he opened his mouth.

“I heard that you gave him perfume.”

“Oh, are you talking about guests?”

“He is a slave.”

Cesare snips off my words.

This man…. Did you come here to talk about Gabriel?

After all, Cesare doesn’t have much to say to me.

I replied with resignation.

“I know. But he is our guest.”

“You don’t have to care about that slave.”

“But Cesare gave him a guest room, not a servant’s room. So I thought I should treat Gabriel as a guest.”

“Gabriel? When did you start calling him by his first name?”

Cesare’s red eyes flashed terribly.

For a moment, I thought I had made a mistake.

Only Cesare can call Gabriel with his first name, but Daphne dares!

Cesare’s love! was called by name.

I immediately took my stance and apologized.

“I’m sorry. It’s a mistake.”

Cesare walked over to me. His strong hand grabbed my chin.

A little frightened, I rolled my eyes.

Cesare was good-looking, but his obsessive maniac was out of the question.

“You seem to have become very close with that slave.”

No matter how hard you try, it’s hard to get to know someone who shares a bed with you.

Swallowing the words I couldn’t get out of my mouth, I noticed.

Cesare sighed at my attitude.

I could feel the hot breath very close.

But somehow his face came closer and closer.

what, what, what, what, what?

I hurriedly covered my lips with both hands. Cesare raised one eyebrow.

“What?”

That’s what I’m going to say, bastard! Why are you trying to kiss me, Gabriel is sad!!

*****

Rather, it was Cesare who was embarrassed.

No matter how arranged they are, there are years of life as a couple…

Besides, have they not slept together regularly except recently?

Rather, Daphne’s naive reaction was to the point of being strange.

‘Is the slave’s influence still there?’

Cesare nailed it.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Yes?”

Daphne rolled her eyes.

After all, I don’t know what to say now.

She shouldn’t show that Daphne already knows Cesare and Gabriel… 

She hadn’t even built up enough intimacy with Gabriel yet.

It’s a situation where she might die, but wouldn’t it be better to be certain?

“That is….”

Fortunately, Daphne’s brain came up with a useful line.

“Cesare. Do you like me?”

It was Daphne who brought up the question, but my heart was pounding.

It felt like she brain was heating up.

What if Cesare says she likes Daphne now?

‘Haah Really! It can’t be.’

Daphne shook her head inwardly.

Cesare was the main character and Gabriel was the main character’s lover. And the Daphne caught in between was nothing but an extra like a foreign substance.

Extras consumed as a device to burn the love of two people!

As expected, Cesare slowly pulled himself away from Daphne.

Cesare answered with a cold face.

“No.”

Daphne muttered to herself.

‘As expected.’

The two had no reason to be upset over this, as they had a relationship that led to an arranged marriage.

Nevertheless, I think I’ve been quite attached to it since I’ve been pouting.

Daphne pursed her lips, and she leaned back.

‘What are you upset about, idiot.’

Anyway, Cesare was the person who would fall in love with Gabriel and forever.

Daphne in the original story also dies while obsessed with Cesare, and I can’t follow that path either.

Daphne pulled herself together.

And it was an absolute refusal to accept Cesare here, And not be hated by Gabriel.

I’m working so hard to increase the closeness!

“That’s why I refuse.”

Cesare frowned.

“So…?”

“Yes.”

Daphne nodded her head.

An awkward air flowed between the two of them.

The awkwardness caused Cesare to think about everything.

‘Are you going to kiss the person you like?’

Bringing up the story at this moment was also highly likely to be related to that slave.

Cesare clenched his teeth.

Just imagining the slave and Daphne sticking together seemed to upset my stomach.

However, he hadn’t gathered any conclusive evidence yet, so he didn’t want to ignite the fire.

It could have been just a passing curiosity.

To be honest, wasn’t the beauty of the slave so great that even Cesare was fascinated?

Cesare took a deep breath.

It would have been better to separate the two by giving the slave a job.

‘I’ll have to lower his room too.’

It was not from the beginning that the slaves were given an undeserved guest room.

Why the hell did I make that choice?

Someone must have been covering Cesare’s eyes and ears at the time.

“Butler.”

“Yes, master.”

“Move the slave’s room right now.”

Daphne’s eyes widened.

Cesare said clearly, with a nail in his eyes.

“Take him to the servants’ room, and give the slave a job. He’s not a guest, so he has to pay for the things he enjoyed here.”

“Yes, master!”

The butler shook his head

“Cesare…”

Daphne sadly called him.

Then you’ll regret it…. Don’t catch harsh people even if they hurt your fair skin…
