Chapter 13

“I’ve already been married once, I’m planning on marrying a second wife. I don’t like to fail. So I want to make a careful decision about my second marriage.” Ian’s words did not reach Ingrid’s ears.

‘No. He’s going, He’s going…!’ Now Ingrid’s nerves were all on the ragged-looking man she had been talking to a while ago. The man now turned to the other side and was going to walk away.

If she let it go like that, she won’t have a chance and the man will disappear and will be hard to catch.  But now, in front of Ingrid, The reluctant Grey Duke is holding out. ‘Get out of the way!’

“Duke. I’m a little busy right now. “

“What are you busy with at the prom?May I know?”

“There is.” There is and it’s that human.

“If you promise me a tea time, I’ll get out of your way.”

“Tea time?”

Tea time? Want to meet you? You want me to come to you? It was becoming more and more difficult. But now I can’t help it.

“I know. Tea time.”

“Shall we see you on Tuesday?”

“Yeah, tea time on Tuesdays. Then it’s settled?”

‘Hurry up’ was written on Ingrid’s face. It seemed to be that now, Ingrid was in the mood to roll her feet.

“Haha, I don’t know what’s so urgent.” The Grey Duke who doesn’t know anyone’s circumstances said nonchalantly.

Stepping aside, Ingrid ran towards the missing man.

‘Where did you go?’ Ingrid came out and looked around. ‘There it is!’ Seeing the raggedly dressed man disappearing to the end of the hallway, Ingrid hurried to follow. However, when she turned to the hallway, the man had already disappeared from view.

‘No… No…!’ This room, that room, even if I opened all the doors, that man was nowhere to be seen. ‘Where have you gone?’ I should have grabbed him and asked for his name. ‘If I go back alone, will you show up?’ I didn’t get to see his face properly, but his clothes were ragged. So maybe, when he comes back. I’ll get my chance.

‘Let’s go back alone.’ I’m exhausted and my shoulders are drooping. The thing that caught Ingrid’s foot as she was about to go back alone was a clunking sound.

‘what?’ The sound came from the next room. ‘Are there any cats?’ The rooms in this hallway had been visited by Ingrid before. There were many times I slept in this mansion before my relationship with Cecil started to deteriorate.’ I’m sure this place keeps the jewels ‘.

The room where the sound was heard was the room where Cecil kept her jewels. There’s no way the cat got in. And it was usually a room that was always locked.

Ingrid carefully turned the handle. But the door was already open. ‘Why is it open?’ I had an ominous feeling.

“Who is inside?” Ingrid took a step into the dark room with the lights off and looked around the room once.

‘I must have heard it wrong. Someone must’ve just forgotten to lock it.’ Okay. There can be no one inside. Ingrid turned her back trying to close the door again when she got goosebumps. Just before closing the door, someone was right next to the door. She didn’t realise someone was standing there.

‘Who, who?’ I had goosebumps all over my body. ‘After closing the door, let’s go out alone and call someone.’
