Chapter 72



Every area of the garden in the Duke’s castle was beautiful.

Yelena and her husband walked silently through the moonlit garden.

The silence was filled by the crunching of grass beneath their feet and the chirps of grasshoppers.

Yelena, who was walking quietly, opened her mouth. “When you were a child…”

“Yes?”

“You said you would often hide in the garden whenever you wanted to be alone.”

“That’s right.”

“Then, when you look at the garden, it reminds you of that time… doesn’t it?”

Her husband cherished the garden. He also said he liked to look around.

But what happened in his childhood wouldn’t be a good memory.

At that moment, Kaywhin replied, “I used to hide in places where no one could find me.”

“…”

“I only remember the comfort.”

“…I see.”

Yelena controlled her feelings.

While it was fortunate, on the other hand, there was a wave of inevitable anger against those who abused her husband when he was young.

‘Let’s calm down.’

Those people were already dead.

If she could bring them to life, she would kill them again, but she couldn’t.

Yelena barely calmed her emotions and asked, “Shall we sit down for a moment?”

Yelena, who sat on the bench, squeezed her fist that was behind her back.

Inside her hand was a small solid object.

“…Darling, give me your arms for a second.”

Depending on how you think, bad things could turn into promising opportunities.

Yelena decided to accept the fact that her husband had no preferences as positively as possible.

First of all, she wouldn’t lose favor by giving a gift that he didn’t like.

‘At least I’ll be able to fulfill the third step of a successful marriage: gift-giving.’

And there was one more thing, an advantage that never crossed her mind.

Yelena gently grabbed the arms that Kaywhin had obediently held out and busily went to work.

“…Ta-da.”

“…”

“It’s a gift.”

The cufflinks on the sleeves of the shirt glistened under the soft moonlight.

Yelena captured the image in her eyes and opened her mouth.

“Darling, you don’t have any preferences. There are no colors you like or dislike… right?”

“…Yes.”

“Then why don’t we start making some from now on?”

Even under the dimly lit garden, the jewels stuck in the center of the cufflinks did not lose their color.

It was the same color as Yelena’s eyes.

“Your favorite color, hmm… is pink.”

“…”

“It’s not bad, right? Look at this. It’s pretty.”

Yelena initially wanted to purchase a set of cufflinks adorned with blue jewels.

Of course, she thought it would be the best match for her husband.

But when she entered the jewelry store, the cufflinks studded with pink diamonds unexpectedly caught her eye.

“Oh, my God. It’s the same color as the Lady’s eyes! Although I don’t know who you’re going to give it to, every time they see it, the Lady’s eyes will come to mind.”

The words of the clerk, who knew how to do business, were the decisive factor.

When Yelena came to her senses, she was already leaving the store with the pink diamond-studded cufflinks in her hand.

She belatedly thought that she might have chosen it too hastily. However, as time went by, she gradually began to believe that she made the right choice.

In fact, the cufflinks that Yelena bought were of the highest quality.

Besides the color of the jewelry, the craftsmanship was very exquisite.

After buying the cufflinks, Yelena even came up with a ridiculous proposition, and she began to work hard to make her argument persuasive.

“As you can see, the cufflinks look really good on you right now, don’t they? What this means is that pink suits you extremely well.”

“…”

“No, well. Of course, it’s just a coincidence that the color resembles my eyes…”

As she added unnecessary words, the explanation began to go off-topic.

Feeling a sense of crisis, Yelena quickly cut off her words and returned to the point.

“…Anyway, pink suits you very well. That’s what we decided from today. In the future, if someone asks you what color you like, you have to say pink.”

No, that was a bit forced.

When she first came up with this idea, she thought, ‘This is it!’ But when she carried it out, it felt a little different from what she had imagined.

When Yelena’s face began to heat up due to embarrassment, Kaywhin answered, “All right.”

“…”

“I’ll do that. Thank you for the gift.”

“…”

“I like it.”
