Chapter 53
I was silent for a while and left myself to the shaking of the carriage . I felt like I was a little sleepy .
As soon as I sat inside, my eyes closed and next thing I knew, I had banged my head against the wall .
“Kuu …!”
I wake up in pain,
“Ouuuuchhh… !”
“Ha ha ha… How can someone sleep this way”
Until then, my husband who has been looking out the window, quietly looked at me and started laughing without stop .
“Uh, I was a little sleepy . Well, it happens sometimes . ”
What a disappointment that my husband saw this side of me .
Such poor manners for a lady .
“Don’t apologize . Ha ha . Are you okay or does it still hurt?”
He seems to be worried about me while still laughing . I wonder if I can laugh at this, literally I think I was being stupid .
“Yeah, it’s not so bad . It only hurts a little”
“Good then . Well, we’ll get there soon . Everyone is looking forward to your return . So show us a cheerful face . ”
“Yes . . ”
It seems that the invisible wall between us has melted away . After returning to the original peaceful atmosphere, the carriage had arrived at the Duke house .
I get off the carriage and got escorted by my husband while walking through the entrance door .
“Welcome home madam and master!”
Aren’t the servants a little too worked up?! Wow, this is deja vu . I’m sure I’ve never been greeted like this, even on our wedding night . Even if I look closely, not only Lotus, Dahlia, but all of the company maiden and maids, the cook, the cleaners, and the gardener, even the butler, all are here! !
“We just returned guys . Thanks for welcoming us . ”
Slightly pushed by this air, I return the greeting,
“Are you good now? Everyone was waiting for your return . ”
My husband approached my ear and said . The employees greeted us with a big smile . In spite of the time, that it was almost the end of the day, and they all must be tired . I am sorry to have made you greet me in this way, but I also feel happy about it . As an apology, I’ll give you all my thanks tomorrow!
I went straight to my private room, took a bath and immediately dive into the bed .
This fluffy bed is always freshly washed and ironed, it’s so different from my original bed that it is awkward to compare .
“After all, this fluffiness is exquisite!”
While rubbing on the pillow, I remember the warm reception .
“Thank you for that . ”
Both Dahlia and Mimosa are smiling while peeking inside the room .
“Sorry, I was depressed with myself about what happened . My husband told me that I didn’t have to worry about it, so I was finally able to let it go and come home . So, I will return to my usual self tomorrow!”
“Good madam! Have a good night!”
“Good Night you too”
Dahlia and Mimosa went out of the room after saying those words .
I’ll clean everything in the house tomorrow! I must be sure to not break anything this time, so I must not get close to the furniture! This must be enough . Also, if I break a high-end decoration ever again, that time I’ll be kicked out for sure . Oh, but the sheets here are the best . The freshness of soap that smells like flowers, the touch of smoothness . I’m really doing a good job . I absorb the soap’s scent and feel secure .
“Viola, Viola”
A man’s voice reaches my sleeping ears . … This voice seems to be from my husband, but . . am I dreaming?
So sleepy to know…
“Viola, get up”
I hear that voice again . In addition, this time they’re slowly shaking my body . It’s so real to be a dream . But it’s funny, I sleep alone in this private room . And my husband should be sleeping in his room at this time, so I can’t be hearing his voice here .
Oh, I can’t wake up, even if I want… so sleepy…
Someone gently opens the bed sheets…
“~~~~ !!!!!”
I silently scream!
When I open my eyes, there is a wonderful smile of my husband at a very close distance .
What is he doing here? !
I was so surprised that my eyes became fully open, and when I moved back, I hit the wall . I thought my heart would stop . No, it might have stopped for a moment . Because I stopped breathing without fail . I understand that this is a reality because of my back pain . What is this situation? !
“Oh, uh, husband?”
As soon as I realized this is not a dream but a real thing, my heart starts to beat fast and all my blood goes up my face …
“Yes, you finally got up . Good morning Viola”
My husband smiles refreshingly while sitting on the bed, with crossed legs .
“Oh, good morning …? Did I oversleep much?”
This was the first time he came to wake me up, but it’s true, usually I would oversleep (although I have never overslept so much to wake up past lunch time) .
I finished changing clothes and looked at my husband awaiting an answer,
“No, rather, you woke up much faster than usual . ”
He smiles again . First of all, it’s an abnormal situation for my husband to be here .
“Huh? Early? So why are you here then? And Dahlia and Mimosa?”
Where are my maids, who always wake me up? . Obviously I don’t want to see you, but this is definitely happening . I am very embarrassed . I really want to hide my embarrassment .
“They are waiting for us in the hall . It’s just… I wanted to see you, so I came . ”
“Wanted to see me? For what?”
“There’s a place we need to go before breakfast so please get ready . ”
So that’s why…
“Okay?”
I got off the bed promptly and started combing my hair .
“Oh, why don’t I help you get ready …”
“Thanks but no . I’m going to get up so… Husband, would you please wait at the hall?”
“……Yes”
As soon as my husband tried to take advantage, my brain awakened .
It’s a refreshing morning!
I asked my husband to wait at the hall first, and politely kicked him out of the room … . After he left, I sat down on the dresser waiting for Mimosa .
“This is bad for my heart… I open my eyes, and what do I see? A sparkling beauty . When I think my heart has stopped, next second it’s furiously beating . ”
Mimosa was combing now my hair .
“We were also surprised . It was so early to wake you up madam . Just as I passed by in front of this room, I met master standing in front of the door . I decided to wait, but I never thought that he would come to wake you up . “
Dahlia, who prepares my dress for today, answered me . Both Dahlia and Mimosa are laughing .
“But … it’s unjust to attack while the other is sleeping…”
“Ha ha, madam… it’s master way of caring about you…”
Dahlia is happy .
For the time being, I rushed to the hall .
“This!”
My husband showed me a houseplant in the place of the broken vase .
Beautiful…
“Is this?”
The foliage is in all colors, the small leaves are lush, with small pink flowers in between . There is no eye-catching glory, but it is a pretty potted plant . The flowers give off a sweet fragrance .
“Yes, I wonder if I could decorate the entrance with this plant instead of the old fashioned vase . I really wanted to hear your opinion . ”
“The entrance?”
“Yes, I wonder if this is better than the expensive figurine . ”
Ah … Is that the vase I broke? I’m guilty…
But it’s better for my husband to look for beautiful natural things than to go out to buy luxury goods, or something of that sort .
“Yes! I think it’s great!”
I’m in favor of this beauty .
“I thought you would say that . The pots are from the warehouse and the plant replanted from the greenhouse . Did you like it?”
He smiled relieved .
Is the pot reused? wonderful! ! It’s delicate and stylish . This will add to the entrance a soft elegant and comfortable atmosphere .
“Thank you! I think it’s wonderful!”
