Chapter 23

“Are you talking about me?”

“Then, who else is handsome here besides the Duke?”

“……”

“Huh. It’s good.”

Adrian was convinced that Leona was drunk when he saw her smile, admiring him with her hand on her chin.

“Does the young lady only like my face?”

“Um… that’s not the case……”

She let out a moaning sound once, and then began to think rather seriously and frowned.

“At first, I thought the duke was a bit of an idiot. I got it……..”

“Ah, yes… stupid…… “

“But the duke is a person with a large distribution that can playfully turn a blind eye to mistakes, and also… he’s fun… and he’s a warm person.”

“…..”

“I know, Duke, that you are a good person. I like a duke like that.”

It was an unexpected confession. Adrian was just teasing Leona, but he felt like he was being punished for asking the question he was asking. Feeling that every word that came out of her mouth was driven into his heart, he looked at Leona in a daze for a moment.

Not knowing Adrian’s condition, Leona was still drunk and muttering. “Everyone says that there is no blood or tears for the duke… Everyone is messing around with things they don’t even know… My duke is someone who turns a blind eye to me even reading erotic novels?”

Leona waved her arms and spoke passionately. However, Adrian felt something stir in the moment. Her protest was creating waves as if a stone had been thrown into Adrian’s heart, who had been running while looking forward.

Adrian has lived with a sense of mission to somehow bring his family back to life. He also knew that after his father passed away, when he inherited the title, the gaze toward the young duke was becoming more explicit. In order to live up to people’s expectations, Adrian constantly works for the family’s honor.

HeI had to train himself. Working without a break, and just ran forward, forward. Thanks to his ability to read numbers and the insight to foresee the future, he has achieved tremendous results in every business he touches. He succeeded in making the Cluid family the most wealthy family in the empire, both in name and reality. However, what was left of Adrian was the evaluation of him as cold-blooded, with no blood or tears, and only the gazes of people who coveted his conditions. Maybe it was that he was getting a little tired.

The meeting with Leona made him laugh a little out of exhaustion and suddenly made Adrian have a desire to get closer to her. But what about this confession? This is a temptation that is hard to resist. Leona continued to mutter, not knowing how much she had said. “Why did the duke get rumors that he’s not cheap… I’m upset. really…Should I use a handover?”

Adrian didn’t know how to overcome this temptation, and he didn’t even have the heart to refuse it. No, on the contrary, the thought of making her his just got stronger. He opened his mouth to Leona. “Are you going to come over if you use the beauty world?”

“Oh, of course!”

“If I write a beauty world to Leona, it means that you will pass it over to me.”
