Trying to Be Kind to You

Synopsis

Among the countless marriage proposals he received, Duke Lennon Higgins simply picked one at random.

“Let’s get married.”

With those few words, Sheila became the Duchess.

“Lady Sheila.”

Within the ducal household, everyone addressed her as Lady Sheila, never as Madam or Duchess. Since they had never properly held a wedding ceremony or spent their wedding night together, no one considered her the true mistress of the estate.

To them, she was nothing more than a temporary guest who would leave someday.

As they lived together, Sheila gradually fell in love with Lennon.

She wanted nothing more than to stay by his side.

But in the end, she could endure it no longer.

“Let’s get a divorce.”

“So now you intend to drag my name through the mud even more? How shameless.”

If he wouldn’t let her go…

Then she would have to run away.

At last, Sheila left the Duke behind.

“Call off the search.”

“Pardon? She couldn’t have gone far.”

“She wanted to escape so badly. Let her go.”

“But…”

“She went to all the trouble of hiding. Wouldn’t it ruin the fun if we found her too quickly?”
