I Failed to Divorce My Husband - Chapter 27.1

Chapter 27.1

1STKISSNOVEL. DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!

It was not as difficult as expected for Erin to find the Duke.

Erin can’t go to the Duke’s office recklessly, but it was easy to find out where the Duke moved alone.

The Duke, who seemed to be the center of the society, unexpectedly sat in the corner.

From afar, out of everyone’s sight, he was watching the Duchess.

It was the same today.

“Father, you were here!”

“You are here again.”

The Duke was no longer surprised.

Erin sat down next to the Duke.

Even the Duke got used to it as these days, the same things were repeated over and over again.

Now they have come to the point where

They can sit side by side and have a conversation.

“I’m going to play with Mother and Aiden today.”

The Duke turned his head and looked at

Erin.

Those eyes were shaking as if they were saying something.

‘I envy you.’

It was certainly that kind of look, so Erin suggested it first.

“Would Father like to join us too?”

The Duke seemed to ponder for a moment, then answered firmly.

“I’m busy.”

The Duke stood up from his seat as if he didn’t want to talk more.

Looking at that figure, Erin was deep in thought.

The Duke only looked at the Duchess from afar and never approached her.

Especially, when the Duchess and Aiden were together, he purposely avoided them and went back.

Erin’s eyes narrowed.

When she first found out that the Duke was in love with the Duchess, Erin only had one question.

‘Then what about Aiden?

What does he think about Aiden?

She thought he wasn’t interested at all up until now, but there’s a possibility that maybe she was mistaken.

However, no matter how much she observed, she could not understand the Duke’s thoughts about Aiden.

Just as he avoids his wife, she only knew that he was also avoiding Aiden on purpose.

‘Why hasn’t he shown interest in Aiden so far?’

It was too bleak to call it a parent-child relationship.

However, it seemed to her that the Duke was really not interested in Aiden.

Maybe there is a reason she doesn’t know yet.

“Father.”

…

The Duke did not respond to all of Erin’s words.

But Erin didn’t care and said what she wanted to say.

“Why aren’t you doing anything?”

“What does that mean?”

“That’s why; I just can’t understand you at all.”

“…..”

“Truthfully, you like Mother, right?”

The Duke’s face hardened at once. His facial muscles trembled slightly.

“Who…… are you?”

The Duke had a confused face.

“Of course, Father’s daughter-in-law!”

Erin answered with a shiny face on purpose.

The nervousness on the Duke’s face was released right away and turned into absurdity.

This little kid was lifting and lowering himself.

“One-sided love is not a problem.”

The Duke was saying everything to the child while thinking she must have thought that he was spouting nonsense.

But Erin listened to those words seriously with her eyes wide open.

And then she opened her mouth very confidently.

“If she doesn’t like you, you can just make her like you!”

The Duke stared at Erin with a blank look.

“Will she like me?”

The Duke’s voice was low.

The Duke asked with a hope, even though he was not confident.

Meanwhile, Erin saw hope for the future, knowing that the Duke had a desire to improve his relationship with his family.

The corners of Erin’s lips greatly rose.

Erin was spending time with the Duchess and Aiden by having tea time together.

Lately, they’ve made a regular time like this.

“Mother, how about coming out with Father next time?”

That’s how she asked an allusion question. The idea was to strike the Duchess first. She already knew the Duke’s feelings, but she didn’t know much about the Duchess’s feelings.

Just as she had interest and affection for

Aiden now, she wondered if she had even the slightest bit of that kind of feeling towards the Duke.

But at Erin’s words, the Duchess’s face hardened.

“He wouldn’t like it.”

… ?

The Duchess’s words were a little subtle.

‘This reaction again.’

She replied that the Duke would not like it.

It sounds as if Mother thinks he doesn’t like being with her.’

The Duchess was indifferent towards the Duke.

But every time Erin asks something. She was always the reason for the rejection, not him.

It wasn’t just an excuse to pass it on to him.

She really thought the Duke disliked being with her.

Somehow as if she had given up.

Erin blinked her eyes.

She took a closer look at the Duchess.

As expected, she was similar to the Duke.

‘T don’t think it’s true that the two are not interested in each other.’

As she observed, there were subtle points that were recognizable by Erin.

It was evident in her eyes that the Duke and his wife were conscious and caring for each other.

‘No. I think they both love each other.’

Erin’s eyes widened.

I can’t believe the two of them are in love with each other.

Erin had many possibilities in mind, but none of them had this speculation.
