TCWO - Chapter 72 However, the people who left us behind had no intention of hearing my silent plea and exited the room, leaving only Ian and me behind. Click. The door closed without hesitation. I froze, awkwardly turned toward the door, and a tense silence filled the room. After a brief pause, Ian spoke. “…Are you planning to stay like that?” I cleared my throat belatedly. “Ahem, right.” “If you’re uncomfortable, you can just leave the medicine and bandages and go.” “No,…-

TCWO - Chapter 7 The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed, greeted by Vivi as usual. “Are you awake, Madam?” There was a slight change in her demeanor, as if she had grown more affectionate since I smiled at her yesterday. “Yes, Vivi.” “Then I’ll help you get ready so you can head to the breakfast hall right away…” “No, I won’t be going today.” “Pardon?” Vivi’s freckled face was filled with confusion. I smiled brightly. “Call the butler and prepare to go…

TCWO - Chapter 70 The effect of putting on a grand show with Ian in front of everyone was spectacular. Not only did it catch the attention of the people who were already in the square, but it also drew in those who had been further away, inching closer to get a better look at us. The more onlookers there were glancing in our direction, the more I clung to Ian’s arm like a leech, making a show of not letting go. “But, my lord, I feel a little dizzy, perhaps from the carriage ride…” I added the…

TCWO - Chapter 68 Kyle let out a sigh. “Anyway, you should really start expressing yourself. I’ve told you this countless times, but now you must admit it.” He narrowed his eyes and asked. “The news, it’s bothering you, isn’t it?” “……” “Her Grace the Grand Duchess and Duke Roger being linked together, that’s bothering you too.” “……” “See? I told you.” Clicking his tongue, Kyle shook his head. “For goodness’ sake, try to make an effort. If not, she’ll…

TCWO - Chapter 69 With my hand still on the doorknob, I stood there awkwardly and asked. “…What are you doing?” “What do you mean?” “You were looking at something just now.” “…I was reviewing the quarterly report on the estate that needs to be completed by today.” “But the cover was pink.” “Perhaps you saw wrong.” His response was sharp as a knife. His expression was cold, almost mechanical. “Are you going to keep standing there?” “Oh.” Finally, I let go of…

TCWO - Chapter 66 Throughout the meal, Duke Roger smiled like a shy wildflower blooming in early spring! I will not elaborate on how the ladies at the nearby tables gasped, but suffice it to say that the sight of his blushing cheeks left them in awe. The true surprise, however, is how the Grand Duchess continued to eat as if unaffected by that beautiful smile! I opened the Aria newsletter and let out a silent scream. An article about me and Duke Roger was plastered all over the front page. The main…

TCWO - Chapter 67 Ian Cloud was in a rather foul mood. It was late morning, and he sat in his office, frowning as he stared at a document filled with densely written text. One word had been lingering in his mind, refusing to leave:Why? Ever since he had left the dining hall, that single word had filled his thoughts. His cyan eyes, once fixed on the document, shifted towards the newsletter lying on the corner of his desk. “……” As he picked up the newsletter, his brows furrowed even…

TCWO - Chapter 63 “Vivi, this letter from the Duke of Roger. Was there nothing for the Grand Duke?” “For the master? No, there wasn’t. The letter addressed to you was all.” “Really…?” I tilted my head as I looked back at the letter. Normally, when someone invites a married person, especially for something other than a ladies’ salon or tea party, it’s customary to invite both the husband and wife. However, there was no mention of Ian anywhere in the letter from the Duke of Roger.…

TCWO - Chapter 64 The Duke of Roger’s estate wasn’t far from the Grand Duke’s residence. After about 30 minutes in the carriage, the front gate of the Duke’s mansion came into view. “…It’s beautiful.” The well-kept path, the gardens stretching out on either side, and the perfectly aligned trees. The building itself, painted in ivory with a green roof, exuded a warm and welcoming atmosphere, much like the Duke himself. ‘Does a house really reflect its owner?’ While I was busy…

TCWO - Chapter 65 Grand Duchess in the Spotlight, Walking a Tightrope! Where is Her Heart? With Grand Duke Cloud or Duke Roger? Since most of the customers were nobles from the capital, they looked at Duke Roger and me with curiosity. It was then that I realized this situation was enough to cause misunderstandings. ‘…Uh oh, maybe I shouldn’t have come.’ I had a strong feeling this would turn into gossip later. As I subtly shifted my gaze around, Duke Roger, having finished ordering, turned to…
