Chapter 88

“Hmm,” Margaret mumbled a faint hum through her nose in response.

No one heard this barely audible sound. Of course, Mr Carson didn’t care whether this aloof madam responded or not. As a competent butler, his duty was to serve his master and his wife wholeheartedly. As long as his master didn’t dissolve his marriage with his wife, even if she didn’t meet any noble standards, he wouldn’t show the slightest disrespect. This was common knowledge in the entire mansion, including Margaret herself.

Her marriage to her husband, Alex Clegane Farman, heir to the Farman family, the next Duke of Malbland, and currently the Grand Master of the Knights of the Temple, was solely due to a family arrangement. It’s important to understand that while the Erenwood family was also noble, they couldn’t compare to the Farman family in terms of power. Moreover, Margaret was merely his father’s youngest daughter, and such an eccentric individual; even if Alex were blind, he wouldn’t have fallen for her, let alone how popular her husband was.

Tall, handsome, and elegant, though somewhat cold and serious, this diamond bachelor with the quintessential knightly spirit had even attracted the attention of the kingdom’s princess. Margaret had a deep-seated fear that one day she might be assassinated by those jealous women, all because she had married Alex.

Sighing inwardly, Margaret slowly walked into the bedroom. Hearing the sound of running water coming from the ensuite bathroom, she was startled. Was Alex actually home today? The thought of that man in the house made her legs go weak.

Guilt, fear, unease… and infatuation—these were the feelings Margaret harboured for her husband. She had secretly loved Alex for five years, from the age of thirteen until now. They could be considered childhood friends, although Alex mostly spent time with Margaret’s brother. At the same time, Margaret would secretly watch him from a corner.

Logically, Margaret was already married to Alex, so why would she need Ye Xuan to complete her “conquest”? But Margaret knew Alex didn’t love her. They’d been married for six months, spending very little time together, and had only made love five times.

What does it mean when a sexually capable man doesn’t have sex with his legal wife? It means he has no interest in her. But like a form of masochism, if Alex showed even the slightest bit of affection, Margaret felt apprehensive. She craved Alex’s love, yet felt guilty for hindering his future. Margaret, already not good at communicating, became increasingly depressed in this unhappy marriage.

She was even afraid to see Alex. When Alex was stationed with the knights for extended periods due to his duties, it was actually Margaret’s most relaxed time. Although the servants ignored her unless absolutely necessary, and she had no close friends, she was more comfortable being alone.

Now, discovering her husband, who hadn’t been home for a long time, had returned, Margaret’s first thought was to run away. But she restrained herself; after all, even if she wanted to run, she had nowhere else to go.

Standing anxiously in place, nervously tugging at her robes. After a moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Pushing open the door, the man’s tall figure became clearer. He walked down the hallway, noticed his wife standing by the door, and then approached.

Margaret was shocked to discover that he was naked!
