Why are you obsessed with your fake wife? - Chapter 53-1

“My lord, you don’t look well.”

“Oh my, he is right. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

The color on Glenn’s face didn’t look okay.

However, the person concerned only waved his hands and brushed aside the words of worries coming from Nadia.

“I’m fine. You saw it wrong.”

“But you’re really…….”

“It may be because I was exposed to the outside air all morning. You don’t have to bother.”

Glenn couldn’t say he was fidgeting because he was afraid the other person he was coming with heard something he didn’t mean to say, could he?

Glenn sat down, leaving the concerned look behind, then Nadia also sat next to him.

She asked with a slight frown.

“Are you sure you’re okay? Can you eat?”

“It really doesn’t matter. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Nadia smiled and lifted the tableware as if it was her lucky day.

Glenn thought.

‘Maybe I worry too much, she probably didn’t hear it.’

His anxious chest felt a little relieved.

However, just after he was a little relieved, the next moment, he noticed a scene that made his heart sink.

“Well…”

It was Nadia’s grim expression while looking at her own food.

She just rummaged through the salad with a fork, but she didn’t put it in her mouth properly.

It wasn’t like her, who always had the belief that one should eat well.

Thud.

It was like a rock seemed to fall over Glenn’s head.

‘I knew it, she heard me!’

Then again, it wasn’t something she couldn’t hear. Nadia must have noticed quickly that Glenn was talking about her because she was a quick-witted woman.

How heartbreaking must it be to hear from a man you love that your appearance was not his taste?

‘I didn’t mean to hurt her.….’

It was a separate matter from him couldn’t accept her confession from her.

He wanted to confess that he didn’t mean it right away.

However, if he did so, the question of why he would say something he didn’t mean would become a boomerang to him. What was he supposed to say then?

Glenn felt cornered. Beads of sweat on his temples grew thicker.

While her husband was suffering from all kinds of worries he created inside his head, Nadia was thinking about this.

‘Ah, orange dressing… I don’t want anything sour.’

The servants sprinkled so much that she couldn’t even bring herself to eat it. Nadia picked out vegetables without dressing and put them in her mouth little by little.

Vegetables that should be fresh have a sour taste unique to oranges. Her complexion was bound to grim automatically.

Eventually, she had to put down the tableware without even eating half of it.

When Nadia turned her head casually, Glenn, who had a hard expression on his face, came into her view. She exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh, my God, Glenn! Why do you sweat so much? Are you sure you’re not sick?”

Was it because she had been overdoing him with work lately? Nadia rose from her seat and approached him.

The servants also gathered one by one with an expression of concern.

“M-My lord… Excuse my rudeness, but you don’t look very good.”

“Is there something wrong? We are really worried…”

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Nadia guessed her eyes were not wrong.

Then, Nadia raised Glenn from his chair and said,

“It’s not just about enduring pain. Tsk, men and their bluffs… For now, you should go back to your bedroom.”

“No, it’s not that I’m not feeling well…”

“It’s not very convincing to say that you’re fine with that face. I won’t bother you for a while, so take a good rest. You, go call a psychiatrist.”

“Yes, Madam.”

“Looking at your face, I don’t think we can have a meal together. Now you go to the bedroom, I’ll ask someone to prepare some gruel.”

Then Nadia walked toward the kitchen, so there was no time to explain his healthy physical condition.

“…….”

In fact, he had nothing to say even if he stopped her.

One servant carefully opened his mouth to him, standing still like a bystander

“Uh, my lord? You should go back to your bedroom and rest.”

“…….”

“My lord?”

“…….”

Of course it didn’t get through Glenn’s ear. Despair came to his face as he looked in the direction Nadia disappeared.

How on earth should he explain this?

On the next day.

At the office where originally the family head and his wife should be sitting face to face.

Nadia didn’t miss much as her partner who had worked with her these past days disappeared.

‘Because Glenn used to handle matters that required meeting with other people.’

It was mainly Nadia’s job to take care of the office alone while Glenn was in charge of having to face outsiders.

Therefore, the reason why her expression was currently dark was not out of loneliness.

She was lost in thought with a slight frown.

‘He looks strong, but he’s weaker than I expected. I didn’t think he would get sick because I was a little overbearing with work.’

Nadia couldn’t believe he was sick as he was such a healthy man.

Glenn insisted that he was not sick, but it was not convincing at all to say that while his white pale face was sweating.

How hard did she push him that he sweated when she asked him to rest claiming he wasn’t sick until the end?
