Chapter 221
Undercover Infiltration Duchess
Edmondâs Cooking (1)
Ezet also had a time when she thought being newlywed would lead to a sweet and fresh life.
But what is this situation now? Before and after marriage, there is no change in her and Edmondâs life.
To be precise, she would say that only the sex pattern is constantly changing, and there is no room for anything else.
âEzet, are you exhausted? Have breakfast and sleep more.â
âNo, Iâm wide awake.â
âOh, my God. Then you wonât tell me. Whereâ¦â¦â
âStop! Stop touching me! It hurts!â
Ezet curled up in fear that her husband would get tangled up again if he knew she was okay. Edmondâs keen eyes would see if she was really sick or not, but Edmond wouldnât mess with her if she said no.
âEat, Milady. I thought you didnât eat much in the morning, so I prepared a simple meal.â
Before he knew it, Edmond put a tray on the bed, took a spoonful of corn soup, and pushed it to Ezetâs mouth.
âI can eat aloneâ¦â
âShh. Open your mouth, Milady.â
It would be against the law to make that remark in a medium to low voice. Ezet opened her mouth with her red cheeks. The corn soup in the spoon was warm and sweet.
âEzet, the unfinished novel you mentioned before. Thereâs a follow-up.â
âWhat? Really! It didnât have a follow-up ticket for ten years, so I thought it wouldnât come out!â
A novel that ended unfinished while reading as a child. For the first few years, she waited for the follow-up but later gave up and pushed it to the other side of her memory, and what does he mean by follow-up? Ezet was jumping with joy.
âOh, my God. How could this happen? How did Edmond know the news?â
âIâll let you know if you kiss me.â
Edmond closed his eyes and stuck his lips at her.
âI had corn soup.â
âTell me what it tastes like.â
Even if she tries to avoid kissing, she has nothing to say if he responds so cleverly. Ezet kissed Edmond on the lips and sat down right away.
âEdmond, how did you know about the follow-up?â
âWhen you organized the library last time, you said you were sorry that the novel you enjoyed reading as a child was incomplete.â
Ezet was still young when she was at Viscount Harrietâs. She was reluctant to interact with people and didnât go out much, but she liked books, so she frequently visited the city library and was acquainted with librarians at the library. Maybe in the fall of the year when she was 16. When the librarian heard that his wife was having a baby a little early, he asked Ezet for help with a blue face, and Ezet kept the key to go safely because she would be in the library for the day.
At that time, Ezet found that there were surprisingly a variety of people in the library and found out that there were works that had a vast number of enthusiastic readers among themselves.
Some sincere readers sobbed over when the back of the best-selling novel, which was discontinued, would disappear to build orange farming and set fire to the writerâs orchard, which had no follow-up work. What kind of writer was it that they looked through the book?
Ezet was utterly fascinated by the book and despaired that no more follow-ups were coming out.
She was walking around the library with Edmond, and she saw a familiar title after a long time, so she just said a word.
ââ¦wait. Edmond? Donât tell meâ¦â
When he heard Ezetâs words, he didnât find the author and blackmailed him into writing the follow-up. As Ezet looked at him with suspicious eyes, Edmond dodged.
âEdmond!â
âI wanted to give you joy.â
âYou didnât threaten them, did you? Forced writing canât be normal!â
âNo way. Iâve put in enough conditions to be motivated.â
He said 2,000 times the price of the food to an orange farm, saying he had no intention of writing anymore, and suddenly he got stuck in his room and started writing.
Of course, Edmond decided not to say anything because Ezet would be angry about spending money on useless things again.
âAm I such a discredited man?â
âSo, donât put Edmond and credit in one sentence.â
âAn incompetent man who canât even please the woman he loves. Okay.â
âNo, thatâs not what I meant!â
Ezet slapped Edmond on the shoulder. Edmond looked at Ezet with a slightly depressed look.
With a tingling sensation on her face, Ezet gently rubbed Edmondâs hit part.
âIâm sorry, Edmond. You did it for me⦠â
âYou have nothing to apologize for. Itâs my lack of trust.â
âReally, in a subtle way.â
Ezet put her arms around Edmondâs neck and kissed him on the cheek and lips again.
âThank you, Edmond, is there anything you want?â
âYou.â
Edmond dismissed in one word without hesitation. Ezet blushed slightly, then stared at him with a coy look.
âNot like that, but something you wantâ¦â
After saying that, Ezet shut up. Edmond is the Duke of the Jaxen family who owns the most prosperous land on the continent. If he wants something, he can just buy it. Thereâs no way heâs âwanted thingsâ that he hasnât got yet.
Ezet corrected the expression.
âWould you like to go somewhere with me, or want me to do something? Is there anything like that?â
âAnything you do is fine.â
âNot that kind of answer!â
Imagine hearing the answer âanythingâ when asked what one wanted for their birthday. How embarrassing and hopeless it must be.
