ETDO Chapter 45
Arthur quietly approached her. Lily’s eyes were closed as if she were already asleep. The blanket rose and fell slowly with her even breaths. He gently stroked his wife’s forehead. He briefly checked her temperature but she didn’t seem to have a fever. He let out a soft sigh. He had to leave on a business trip for a few days starting tomorrow for the steamship venture. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment, as he had secretly hoped to spend a passionate night with his wife…-

Such chaste beauty, like this hydrangea, yet behaving in a completely contradictory manner. He chuckled and gently cupped the abundantly blooming blue flower in his palm, a bloom large enough to fill both his hands. He always thought this flower resembled a cluster of countless butterflies, descending momentarily to fold and unfold their wings in rest. The elegant form of the brilliant blue petals, like a swarm of butterflies in bloom, evoked his admiration every time he saw them. Judging by the size…-

ETDO Chapter 38
A heavy rain was pouring outside. It had been fine when we arrived. While Mary asked the doorman to call for the Beaufort carriage, I stepped slightly under the eaves to look outside. The streets in the bustling city center were well-paved, but not all roads were. Would the carriage be able to travel properly in this downpour? I looked around, worried, as people hurriedly took refuge in buildings to avoid the rain. “Lily!” Startled by my name being called through the rain, I looked…-

ETDO Chapter 44
Mary nervously gauged her mistress’s mood. Ever since returning from the Crown Princess’s tea party, Lily seemed to be in a daze, as if her mind were elsewhere. Even now, she sat staring blankly into space, lost in thought. Mary diligently brushed Lily’s hair, pretending to be oblivious. In truth, she had been summoned by Lady Wellington early that morning and had just returned. To be honest, ever since her encounter with Lady Wellington, Mary hadn’t had a moment’s peace. She was secretly…-

ETDO Chapter 43
Lady Wellington, who was staring at me with a surprised expression, turned her head. “It’s literally as I said. Their minds are connected. I don’t know how it’s possible, but I’m almost certain they share each other’s thoughts and inner worlds.” I was stunned. “How can you be so sure?” Lady Wellington stared at my face and sighed. “Because I experienced it firsthand. I don’t know what method they use, but there are probably no secrets between them.” Frankly, it…-

ETDO Chapter 41
Arthur patted Ethan on the shoulder and hurried out of the box with his secretary. Ethan, after seeing Arthur off with a deliberate affectionate farewell, closed the door firmly and turned to me. With the light from the bright hallway blocked, only the dim interior lights illuminated the box. Ethan grabbed a chair and wedged its back firmly under the doorknob, securing it. Then, slowly undoing his bow tie, he began to approach me. His movements were relaxed and unhurried, like a male lion approaching…-

ETDO Chapter 40
As Mary responded in a meek voice, Lisa's still-cheerful voice chimed in. “He bought it when he accompanied the Duke to his territory during that emergency. He said it was a local specialty. I heard he searched the whole town to find one she'd like! Mr. Richard is so proactive, it's a shame Mary just…!” “Lisa! Stop it!” Mary clapped a hand over the chattering Lisa’s mouth and bowed her head. “I apologize, Madam.” Smiling to put Mary at ease, I patted her shoulder lightly and…-

ETDO Chapter 39
Mary gulped, her gaze fixated on the clinking pouch. Inside her, a fierce battle raged between personal greed and loyalty to her mistress. A maid's life was an endless string of arduous toil from early morning till late at night, and most of the time, the treatment was extremely poor. This was to be expected, as the elegant lives of the nobility were maintained by exploiting the labor of their servants. And this tendency was even more pronounced among the nouveau riche gentry. Those not born into…-

Pretending to hand my champagne glass to a nearby servant, I stealthily glanced towards Ethan and Lady Wellington. For some reason, both of their expressions were serious. Acting as if I hadn't seen anything, I picked up a new glass and slowly walked toward Arthur. “Lily, aren't you drinking a bit too much today? I'm a little worried…” “I’m fine. I can still handle it, Arthur.” I sat down beside him and gently slipped my arm around his. As Arthur smiled and kissed my forehead, the…-

ETDO Chapter 37
Seeing him standing there with his loose shirt unbuttoned to his chest, hands tucked into the pockets of his light summer trousers, I suddenly realized that I had been waiting for Ethan all day since yesterday. He asked, “Can you swim?” “No,” I paused for a moment, then asked, “Can you teach me?” Ethan nodded and grinned. “How about now?” Seeming surprised at my words that the swimming lesson would start immediately, he tilted his head. “Here?” “The weather is…-
