I Found a Husband When I Picked up the Male Lead - Chapter 10

Chester Halos. 

Louis Peter Halos’ second son, who inherited the title of Duke when his older brother died.

In principle, Raphelion, the Duke’s son, should be the one to inherit the Duke’s title, but he did not even make it to his family register, so the succession rights belonged to Chester, who became the patriarch of Halos family.

In the novel, Chester, portrayed as a stupid uncle, was a ruthless, cold-blooded character to anyone other than Lapel.

But.

There was a line that says he was handsome, and it was real………

I’ve never seen such a handsome man in my life. 

There’s nothing more that goes better with a black hair color. Clear skin. Intense deep red eyes, a sharp nose, and a firm mouth. 1

In one word, he shone. It wasn’t just the face. Wide shoulders, extended legs, and a well-groomed body that can be seen over clothes.

Even the aura that comes from him is perfect.

The more she looks at him, the more she expects the future of him and his kin, Raphelion.

“Huh? Lizelle?”

Rapelle poked her arm and demanded an answer. Lizelle slightly lifted her head, and put her index finger to her lips.

“Shh!”

Stop asking! I’m ashamed that I’ll die if you ask more than this!

“Shh! Heheh,” said Lapel, just laughing loudly as if he was having fun.

When her face was somewhat calmed down, Lizelle rose from her seat with caution. She couldn’t just sit there. That would be improper.

She greeted by grabbing the tips of both sides of her dress without making eye contact with Chester due to embarrassment.

“Hello, my apologies for the late introduction. My name is Werazel Prosier.”

Chester looked at Werazel suspiciously.

She is likely to buy his favor with candy, then hand over the child and collect the reward.

Werazel Prosier. 

Chester has heard of her from Lohan on his way to the drawing room.

She’s the daughter of Baron Prosier who enjoys all kinds of luxury. Now they’re struggling with debt because of being short on bank loans.

It was obvious why she came to see me, the duke. Like the others who have come to my house so far, she’s trying to trick me into rewarding her. If she gets the reward, she’ll spend it on luxury and play games again.

She is a pathetic woman.

His red eyes, which were so alert, observed the little actions of Werazel.

I’ll bite you right away if you show any vanity and greed. 

“This is the child you’re looking for.”

She came straight to the point.

It would be nicer if the two recognized each other dramatically, but Werazel knew well that they had never seen each other’s faces before. Iorn kept his son, Raphelion, hidden. Chester has never seen even a piece of his hair.

The tragedy of the ducal family was simply disastrous. After a long wait, Iorn, who was now able to bring his beloved woman and child to the mansion, was killed in an instant, and his son was left alone after losing his parents.

But Lapel’s wounds would be healed by the love of the main character, Einsia, and his uncle.

Chester cared more for Lapel to make up for his parents’ vacancy.

By the way, since Chester also has black hair and red eyes, he will soon notice that this child is him right?

Because black hair and the red eyes are the symbols that only Halos family had.

 “Hel-lo,” said Lapel with his hands on his belly and bowing to him.

Chester stared at Lapel’s face without a word.

Black hair and bright red eyes that do not lose color even under light.

It seemed to resemble Raphelion’s face, which his brother had always talked about.

But I just heard it, and I couldn’t guarantee it because I’ve never seen it before. And that skinny body. 

The body of the child, which seemed to have only skin left, was frowned upon.

So far, all the men who had visited him brought their children that are all plump but this woman was different.

Is it a trick to arouse sympathy through the child’s skinny appearance? Shameless!

Chester was misunderstanding something very much.

“Are you Raphelion Halos?”

‘Yes! I’m Lapel! Lizelle said to me ‘You’re Raphelion’!”

Duke Chester’s eyebrows went up, suprised at his reply.

“She said you’re Lapel? “

Did she force the child to call his name Lapel? A strong look of disgust turned to Lizelle.

Startled, Lizelle shuddered at the sight of his eyes that looked at her .

Why are you staring at me like that? 

His eyes were burning her to the bone and she was puzzled.

Chester’s thoughts were full of complaints.

One-sided coercion of children could also be called mental abuse. So, you forced him to use Raphelion’s name? 

There was a slight twitch around his mouth. He had been surrounded by greedy and selfish fraudsters day and night.

“Where did you bring him from?”

“What? Oh, it’s…”

Werazel thought for a moment. Wouldn’t he be very upset if I told him it was a dump? I don’t know if I should talk straight or just gloss over it.

 Whilem she was briefly troubled to answer, Chester’s suspicions deepened.

You’re thinking of a place worth pitying.

He was already looking at Werazel with colored glasses on.

 “Well, I found him in the dump and picked him up.”

Werazel just decided to be honest. If I change my words, he will kill me if he investigates, and if he asks Lapel, he’ll know everything.

Chester swallowed a ridiculous laugh as if he knew this would happen.

What do you mean by a dump? It was not even a quick answer. 

Oh, she’s very determined.

He unbuttoned his shirt, feeling his neck burning in anger.

Werazel opened her mouth again, staring at this man’s behavior, which she could hardly understand.

“And Lapel has lost all of his memories due to shock.’

“Well, how can you be sure this is Raphelion then?” he said.

He loosened the tie he was wearing, combing his head roughly.

“Why would you ask me that?”

In this absurdness, Werazel asked back.

You’ve written down black hair and red eyes on the flyer, so I brought a child with black hair and red eyes that is only exclusive for the Halos family and you’re asking me how can I be sure? 

“What did you just say?”

“What’s your intention to ask me how I’m sure I brought the black haired and red eyed child you’re looking for? ” said Werazel, clipping Chester’s words with a puzzled look.

She was starting to get annoyed with this situation. She brought the child he was looking for, and not only did he look at her with hostility, now he is asking absurd questions.

Cancel everything that I said about him being handsome. Drunk cow. Good-looking asshole.

Werazel glared at Chester with all her might.

With those fierce eyes, she looked straight into Duke Chester’s eyes. Sparks crackled when their gazes met.

“Oh a staring contest! Beat him Lizelle! Lizelle, win!”1

As Lapel clapped his hands at the sight of those two and cheered for Lizelle.

Chester’s frowned. “Huh, staring contest?’

Chester was annoyed when he found himself caught up in Lizelle.

No matter what this other person says, if she lies to him and accuses him of disillusionment like before, he will definitely return her actions.

Perhaps because no one has come out to him so boldly so far. She is standing in front of the duke, the pillar of the empire and yet…

Rather than being crooked by the daughter of a mere baron, who has nothing, he will believe in what he sees.

In addition, why was she asking what his intentions were when she was the one cheating?

It’s because she is.

Chester had an unknown sense of triumph.

I don’t want to lose to a swindler, lady. 

And because he’s never lost to anyone, Chester gave more strength to his eyes.

Isn’t there a saying? My pride feeds me bread.

Hey, tough guy. He doesn’t even blink once.

Werazel opened her eyes even more thanks to the support of Lapel.

Before she knew it, she had changed his title from the handsome duke into a “poisonous one.”

She scoffed at Chester as she had no intention of avoiding his gaze first. With her lips closed, she looked at him

I absolutely did not want to lose to this man who is rude from the beginning.

Knocking didn’t stop the fighting spirit and nobody gave in.

Chester did not even turn his head and just opened his mouth.

“Come in. “

Lohan came in once permitted.

Lohan walked to his master, Duke Chester, with a serious face.

(T/N Ey, ey, ey triple update! (ง ͡͡° ︶͡°)ว
Don’t you just love misunderstandings? Hahaha I completely forgot Werazel’s reputation. ?
Anyways, thank you for reading! ❤)
