Chapter 94

“Lady Scofield.”

Not ‘Catherine,’ but ‘Lady Scofield.’

It must be because of other people’s eyes that he couldn’t call her name affectionately as usual.

‘The Duke loves me, yet he can’t even call my name properly……’

Catherine’s heart broke.

She straightened her back proudly while receiving everyone’s attention.

‘That’s right, Judy said so.’

Baseless confidence filled her entire body.

Catherine’s eyes sparkled brightly.

‘The Duke loves me.’

Yes, she stood here with only that one belief.

‘The Duke simply cannot express his affection because of the eyes around him.’

Judy’s gentle voice echoed in her ears.

‘When he was cold to you this time, it was because it was so hard for him to cut off his relationship with you.’

‘……Is that so?’

‘Of course. So.’

Judy’s voice became even more secretive.

‘You need to help the Duke be honest with himself.’

If you thought about it even a little, it was nonsense.

However, Catherine was already addicted to Judy’s sweet words.

She had no choice.

The person who had spent the longest time with Catherine recently was Judy.

And Judy always told Catherine only the sweet words she wanted to hear.

The only person who could correct that delusion was Marisa.

But recently, Marisa had been too busy watching David’s mood to look after her niece.

Thus, Catherine nurtured delusions that suited her taste.

She intended to be brave on behalf of the Duke she loved.

‘Even if it hurts a little for now, this is the way to maintain our love in the long run!’

Catherine, full of conviction, opened her mouth resolutely.

“Duke, no matter how coldly you treat me, I won’t be fooled.”

“My lady? I have no idea what you’re talking about……”

“You love me, Duke. Please don’t turn away from those overflowing feelings anymore.”

Catherine concluded with a clear voice.

“If you meet with me again, this time I’ll stay by your side until the end.”

“……”

“……”

The surroundings became quiet.

The story was so shocking that people couldn’t even open their mouths properly.

And for good reason.

Asking to meet again meant, in other words……

That they had been meeting from before, didn’t it?

“Wh-what on earth are you talking about?”

David was so flustered that he even stammered.

But Catherine didn’t care at all.

“How long do you plan to ignore my true feelings, Duke? Have you forgotten the sweet times we’ve shared until now?”

Catherine continued in a quite theatrical tone, as if she had become the heroine of a tragic romance.

“During the last harvest festival, you kissed me behind the altar. That sweet kiss…… is still on my lips.”

People couldn’t hide their disgusted expressions.

They kissed secretly in the great temple?

In that sacred place where God is said to dwell?

Meanwhile, Catherine’s cheeks were gradually turning red.

“I still treasure that memory preciously. It was the most beautiful moment of my entire life.”

“What nonsense are you spouting now……”

“You stroked my red hair and said it was pretty like a rose.”

Haa.

Catherine, intoxicated by emotion, let out a sweet sigh.

Then she suddenly lifted her head and continued.

“I could even give my life for you, Duke.”

“Wh-what……”

“You know well, don’t you, Duke?”

Her wistful brown eyes gazed at David with deep longing.

“How much I love you.”

Scratch scratch scratch.

While the surroundings were completely quiet, only the sound of reporters frantically moving their pens was loud.

The detailed artists employed by the press were also quickly sketching the current situation.

David, noticing this, whipped around.

“What are you all doing? What are you staring at?!”

David approached the reporters with large strides, his face red and blue.

Then he tried to snatch the notebook from the reporter standing in front.

“Who gave you permission to write an article…… Ah, don’t write! Don’t draw!!”

David and the reporters scuffling.

Catherine looking this way with a resolute expression, as if she were a knight participating in a holy war.

Even security guards rushing over belatedly to sort out the situation.

It was complete chaos.

‘Wow, Catherine really……’

Elodie looked around at the chaotic surroundings with her mouth agape.

Honestly, she hadn’t calculated for this kind of situation.

She had just thought it would be successful if she encouraged Catherine’s delusions and caused a slight disturbance in front of people.

But that was only for a moment.

Elodie pushed up the corner of her lips diagonally.

‘Actually, this worked out well.’

Since it had become this noisy, tomorrow’s gossip magazines would surely be covered with headlines about ‘Duke Laventess’s Affair Suspicions.’

The more the media made a fuss, the better.

All of that would serve as evidence for the divorce lawsuit.

Elodie slightly turned her head.

Isabel, who had been watching the chaos with an expressionless face, met her gaze as if she had felt her stare.

And.

‘Now’s the time.’

The two women smiled brightly without either going first.

Finally, the time had come to submit the divorce documents.
