Chapter 49 - Ch 49 A new debt? (1/2)

I returned to the mansion after a brief visit to the annex building with my husband. When we entered the main building, all the servants greeted us in the same way as before. It’s very embarrassing to come back hand in hand, but my husband doesn’t care at all. Even if I pull my hand away, he doesn’t release it. He seems obsessed with taking my hand.

“How was the renovation?”

Mimosa and Lotus asked.

“It was very good.”

I answered

“If you say so, it’s worth the advice.”

They narrowed their eyes joyfully.

After finishing dinner a little later than usual, I decided to go back to my private room and started reading the book that I borrowed.

“It’s amazing, both Dahlia and Mimosa. I think I never would have known how much I liked books if it were not for your advice.”

I looked back at Dahlia and Mimosa while showing them the book I got.

“We got the impression that you would like it, from the casual conversations we had everyday”

First-class, observation skills! Your eyes are so sharp!

“Looking closely at your cooking… Pastries books would come handy”

“You like gardening.. so plants books are a must.”

I see. There were a lot of hints in my usual behavior!

“What about the mystery books and stories?”

“Don’t you know a lot of stories that sometimes you share with us?”

Oh, was that the case? Well, there is no complaint at all because I loved it!

“There were a lot of interesting books. Thank you.”

“Please thank your husband.”

Dahlia said casually with a smile.

” I’m going to sleep today after reading this book.”

I felt like I wanted to read it, so I went to bed with the book in my hand.

“Please read moderately”

Dahlia paid attention to the bedside candlestick.

“It’s okay.”

I’m tired anyway.

“Now, good night”

“Good night”

After the greeting, the two went out of the room, so I read the book while sneaking into the futon.

At the end, I broke my promise. I ended not sleeping from the joy of reading.

My eyes were red and irritated at the light of the morning sun. It’s always a gentle push to start the day, but today it feels like a transparent knife.

I woke up at the usual time, but I was completely exhausted. Almost no sleep.

I ended up reading books all night.

I was fascinated as I turned the pages. When I think about it, a mystery book gives a twisted feeling that always intrigues you until the culprit is known in the end. Instead of making me sleepy, I couldn’t sleep until I reached the end where the criminal is discovered.

However, I thought it was not good to sleep at daytime, so I got up as usual and got out of bed with the face that I had. Everyone worried and I staggered. How bad, to be seen like this.

“Good morning… Mistress? Did you sleep well yesterday?”

Dahlia’s eyes don’t move from my face. She asked me with a little scary voice.

“I was a little crazy about the book … I’m sorry ~”

I apologize with a small mosquito voice and feel like answering to my mother.

She sighed.

“It can’t be helped. Please lie down a little after breakfast? For now, let’s fix it with makeup. You can do it, Mimosa?”

“Of course”

I instructed Mimosa from sideways. Uh, I’m sorry I won’t do it anymore.

I had breakfast with my husband and went to see him off at the entrance as usual. As expected, I took distance from my husband, so I was able to hide it by using Mimosa’s special makeup.
