I'll work hard, even if it's just cleaning!""I want you to become my temporary wife, my junior."Loarston smiles charmingly at the shocked Adelia."Miss Whitten, you're a genius among geniuses.""Um... I'm not that much of a genius.""If you're that talented, pretending to be a Duchess should be easy for you, right?"But..."You can't run away after coming this far, my junior. Do you remember what kind of relationship we have?""We're... married.""That's right. Never forget it."Loarston smiles so beautifully that it could make anyone fall for him. Then he gently kisses the back of Adelia's hand."Take care, my wife. I'll see you this evening.""Y-Yes... dear..."Wait... is this really okay?!They're only pretending to be husband and wife, but do they really have to act this convincingly?
