---- But it wasnt a special gift or anything.
Still, the jeweler said it was ordered under the name of the Duke of Everhart, I pointed out, jealousy slipping into my tone.
According to Brenda, it sounded like a special order from him.
She must have arranged it that way, but I never set foot in that shop.
I just gave her the money, Duchess...
Did you always give her a lot of money? That piece costs a small fortune.
Does she get a pension like I do? I raised a brow, confronting him.
Iwas in jealous, possessive wife mode, and I had no intention of stopping.
He froze mid-step in the shadows, his gaze filled with contradictions.
Thoped he wasnt considering lying to me.

[did give her a pension.
But Ill cancel it immediately! Please, believe me! He reached for my arms, but I stepped back.
How much are we talking? Is her pension higher than mine? Oh, wait, why am I even asking something so obvious? I clicked my tongue, nodding, crossing my arms over my chest.
No wonder her friends called my Duchess allowance a crumb that wasnt even enough for a decent necklace...

Let go of me! I tried to shove him away when he suddenly wrapped his arms possessively around my shoulders.
Honestly, I had no idea what had gotten into meI wasnt even the real Rossella! ---- As soon as we get home, well talk.

right? Dont be afraid.
Look at me, look at me closely.
Believe me when I say this: no matter what it is, I will protect you, I will accept you, and I want you.
Only you.
His hand gently cupped my chin, his expression unwavering and full of certainty.
My heart raced wildly.
His words made me feel exposed.
But how had he figured it out? Had I been that obvious? And what if...
what if this was just a trap? No.
Iwouldnt confess anything.
I wouldnt give in so easily.
I didnt trust him completely.
I was still afraid...

[dont know...
Tts okay, Im not asking you for any explanations.
I just want you to know you dont have to be afraid with me.
We II talk at the castle, calmly, he assured me.
---- I pressed my lips together, remaining silent.
Id just wait and see how much we really needed to talk about.
And as for your Duchess pension...
You can write in any amount you want on the monthly check.
Ill leave it blank for you, he suddenly changed the entire mood.
His voice dropped into a teasing murmur as he added, All Task in return are your modest wife duties...
