I shortly realized the explanation behind his stiff expression.

‘Isn’t it a bit impolite to be inquisitive about the place my ex-boyfriend went in entrance of my present husband?’

I awkwardly smiled and twirled my foot.

“Oh, do I would like him? Pedro, that jerk, disappeared simply once I was supposed to brighten his finish!”

However why am I apprehensive about Dylan’s response?

He’s not even my actual husband.

Simply as I subtly pushed away my sudden realization, Dylan uttered a phrase.

“I perceive. I do know that Ishael all the time decorates the top of villains.”

Anyway, I calmly entered the home with Dylan.

The necessary factor was…

‘It looks like I’m getting nearer to Dylan.’

As we entered the home, I discreetly stole a look at Dylan, whose ears turned barely purple.

From the primary assembly till now, Dylan had been genuinely type to me.

He even had an unexpectedly cute aspect.

‘Perhaps it’s as a result of I’m a particular particular person to Dylan?’

I felt a bit silly.

I stored gaining baseless confidence.

I flopped down on the mattress.

At that second, I spotted that my cheeks had turned barely purple.

* * *

The following morning, I wakened rubbing my swollen eyes.

I sat on the couch and absentmindedly watched Dylan.

He was sporting an apron and cooking within the kitchen.

He even set the timer and put nice care into it.

To see such a giant determine sporting a carrot apron.

It didn’t match, but it unusually match the image.

“Did you begin cooking early?”

As I shifted my gaze from the frilly cooking, I observed that the ground was glowing.

“Um, because you cook dinner for me, I can do the cleansing…”

“No, you may’t!”

Oh my, I used to be greatly surprised.

“I like doing the family chores.”

I gaped.

I hated doing family chores!

‘Spectacular. Severely. The place did this final best kind come from?’

He’s good at cooking, good-looking, handles his foremost job nicely, and even has delicate qualities others don’t find out about!

However surprisingly, his heartwarming consideration didn’t finish there.

After ending breakfast, which included a 70-dish feast, together with appetizers, Dylan handed me a glass with a lid.

“It’s lunch. It’s a shake made by mixing contemporary grains and fruits. Don’t skip lunch. Though it could not look nice now, I’ll register for a cooking class for husbands and make even higher dishes for you.”

What do you imply it doesn’t look nice?

The content material and the glass itself had been superb.

The outer floor of the 2-liter glass was finely crafted.

“By any likelihood, did you additionally craft the glass, Dylan?”

“How do you know? It’s a bit tough, although…”

“Did you understand how to do glass crafts as nicely? What can’t you do?”

I blurted out.

“Properly, you have to be busy, so when did you have got time for all this? Anyway, thanks…”

There was fear in his voice.

“The shake will not be a full meal, however I heard that it lacks vitamins.”

“Properly, with a 2-liter glass, somebody like me would burst if I had an excessive amount of.”

“Is that so? It appeared missing.”

“Sure! You don’t must go this far to deal with me. Anyway, thanks. I’ll get pleasure from it!”

Dylan shook his head vigorously and stated, “I do it as a result of I wish to. Well being is crucial.”

Whereas saying that well being is crucial, he himself appeared a bit weary.

“Dylan, are you feeling alright?”

Upon nearer inspection, I observed that his brow appeared barely sweaty.

His whole face appeared flushed.

“Hmm, I feel I’ve a slight fever. Or not?”

I introduced my face near his.

‘I can sense the warmth.’

He appeared a bit weaker than earlier than, even a bit low on power.

Has he began to fall sick?

All of a sudden, his refined lips twisted.

“You must relaxation within the room. Then.”

As he stated that, he even positioned the apron on the desk.

“…Be sure that to have lunch.”

I couldn’t reply.

The door to the nursery, the place Dylan stayed, closed with a thud proper in entrance of me.

I stared blankly on the closed door.

Then I returned to the empty front room and sat on the couch.

Properly, there’s no want for pointless meddling.

We’re a contract couple.

I pushed apart my emotions of disappointment and determined to learn some information.

[Special Report on the Capital] 300 Days for the reason that Final Terrorist Assault. Has the Suicide Bombing Terrorist Group within the Capital Actually Disappeared? On-Web site Investigation.

The newspaper was stuffed with subjects of curiosity to me.

Furthermore, I fairly favored studying the editorials that folks had been speaking about.

I loved fixing the crossword puzzles within the newspaper.

For somebody who was all the time alone resulting from household malice, the time spent studying the newspaper was probably the most pleasing time of the day.

However…

“Oh, why can’t I focus right this moment?”

I sighed and closed the newspaper.

For some purpose, it wasn’t as entertaining as regular.

No, I knew the explanation.

“Oh, Dylan appears to have a little bit of a fever.”

And for some purpose, I used to be fairly apprehensive.

It’s 6:30 now, and her work hours begin at 9.

At this second, it wasn’t fully unattainable to take a time off.

I quietly rummaged by means of my bag and took out a communication magical software.

“I’ll inform them that I’ll be coming to work within the afternoon.”

It wasn’t as a result of I used to be apprehensive about Dylan.

I additionally needed to take a break since I used to be a bit drained from yesterday’s occasions.

I all of a sudden seemed down and stopped.

The newspaper that was in my fingers had flipped over, unread.

In the meantime, Dylan lay quietly in his room.

Ever since his thoughts was preoccupied together with his marriage to Ishael, he had been feeling a burning sensation round his coronary heart since morning.

It was the start of the fever that had been consuming away at his thoughts like a curse.

He took the drugs prescribed by the palace to suppress the insanity.

Nevertheless, not like regular, his needs couldn’t be managed.

His feverish thoughts was bombarded with previous hurtful phrases.

“You ineffective brat. Are you aware why you had been discarded by me?”

“I don’t know.”

“For generations, the Grand Duke Castilla had been hopeless. They had been cursed, so whether or not they went to the battlefield or not, they might die on their very own. Are you aware that?”

The story was forcibly fabricated.

The Sunghwangs held the collar of his ten-year-old son.

“Individuals like you’re the flaws and curse of this empire.”

“…”

“When the curse absolutely manifests, exit to the battlefield and die by yourself.”

4 occasions a yr.

Throughout the week earlier than and after the blue moon, a fever-like curse would return.

It was a time when aggressive instincts and needs that people ought to restrain would manifest in a feverish outbreak.

As an alternative of succumbing to the fever, Dylan wielded his sword for the empire and relentlessly struck down his enemies.

He had no feelings in any way, however he didn’t wish to be merely a cursed existence on this empire.

Due to that, somebody known as him the harbinger of struggle.

Another person admired him.

He paid no consideration to these folks.

Dylan set free a sizzling sigh.

There was a restrict to how lengthy he may endure together with his psychological power, and this time of the fever felt like a surging wave of heightened senses.

Fortunately, right this moment was a weekday when Ishael went to work.

After she left, he deliberate to lock himself in his room.

He didn’t wish to present her his aggressive aspect.

However it was proper at that second.

Knock, knock. The sound of somebody knocking on the door.

Maybe it was as a result of it was the nursery door, however he may additionally hear the faint sound of the cell hanging in entrance of the door.

“Um, Dylan?”

A fragile but resolute voice.

He solely heard her voice, however his damaging senses that had been raging inside tried to relax.

It was the primary time one thing like this had occurred.
