Chapter 23

After talking to Edwin, Herietta could only think about him. He said that he wished she would not change in the future because she was perfect as she was now as if he were confessing his secret.

She was going to die of confusion because of his unusual attitude, but he went further and asked her to forget what he said at the end. What the hell was he thinking? And what did he want from her?

She tried hard to think about it, but the riddle he had thrown her way showed no sign of unraveling.

As a result, Herietta could not focus at all on what was happening in front of her when she was at the Countess’s birthday party. There were a few people who came to her saying that they had a son or nephew, but she couldn’t even remember their names.

Lilian poked her in the side to warn her, but that also had no effect. In the end, the two of them had no choice but to return home completely in vain.

She felt sorry for Lilian after she deliberately provided an opportunity for her, but she had no choice. Now, Herietta’s head had no room to think of anything else except for Edwin. She wandered through her room alone, contemplating.

She wanted to immediately run to Edwin and ask him what the hell he meant that day. If he didn’t answer again, she wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him. She wanted to put a threat to his handsome face, telling him to just say it directly rather than talking in circles and frustrating her.

Herietta blamed herself for not thinking about her actions thoroughly. So, she smiled awkwardly, hoping for a miracle that would never happen.
