Chapter 208:

Juliet felt herself wake up sharply.

What if you regret it?

Lennox was utterly serious.

You might regret that you got entangled with a man from a baseless and unlucky family. It wasnt about hastily staying by my side.

Juliet stared blankly at the man in front of her.

The Lennox Carlyle she knew was the most arrogant and unconcerned man in the world.

Did he think that way?

No one in the world would call the Carlyle Duchy baseless.

It was amazing, but what surprised Juliet was another part.

Does this man know that he just referred to our child for the first time?

He seemed unaware.

-Isnt the one in your belly, my child?

Always referring rudely and arrogantly as your child, mine, or even some bastards offspring.

Juliet slightly bit her lips. Otherwise, she would have laughed out loud.

But perhaps misinterpreting Juliets expression, Lennoxs face darkened.

I understand. You dont need to take this risk.

He said self-mockingly.

I dont deserve to hold you back.

It really seemed like he thought so, and Juliet was at a loss for words.

Then why do you need nine rings?

Twelve.

Juliet, who had been momentarily lost for words, burst into laughter, and Lennox added as if explaining:

I dont know which one youll like more.

So, Juliet decided to pretend to be a bit more ignorant.

The man who acted as if nothing in the world scared him would become a dignified groom respecting dignity and manners, and Juliet thought it wasnt bad.

So, the wedding will be a very traditional ceremony?

If you want it to be.

He met Juliets eyes and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Come to think of it, this man held a flamboyant wedding and had a history of giving away and then reclaiming a sapphire mine to and from the royalty.

Now she was curious who was obsessed with tradition and formalities.

If you nod, its possible even tomorrow.

She had asked jokingly, but the answer flowed smoothly.

Did he already have a list of names for the unborn child?

It was suspicious.

Juliet reached out and lightly placed her hand on his neck.

But Lennox.

Speak.

Although he said to speak, his actions and words were disjointed. He was already kissing Juliets neck gently.

Flutter. Juliets hair, completely loose, was gently scattered on the soft bedding.

Juliet, holding back her laughter, whispered quietly to the man obsessed with her:

According to traditional etiquette.

Yes.

A week before the wedding, the groom and bride shouldnt meet. You know that, right?

He hesitated for a moment.

His cold, well-stretched eyes narrowed cunningly and ominously.

Such a bad habit is an etiquette?

Who decided that?

Oh my. Nice to finally meet you.

While Lennox was in the forest, she was briefly walking around during an early morning walk.

Juliet stumbled upon a friendly-looking couple putting down a large milk can at the door, and was briefly puzzled.

Nice to meet you for the first time, maam. You must be Lady Seneca?

What lady?

The elderly couple said they were villa caretakers living in a nearby village.

Of course, without someone to look after it, the villa couldnt have been managed so neatly. The neatly trimmed grass and the lovely treehouse in the yard, and so on.

We stop by once a week, so if you need anything, feel free to ask.

The villa caretaker couple said they brought fresh ingredients once a week.

Fresh butter and freshly squeezed milk were brought by this couple.

We were quite surprised when they asked us to prepare the mansion urgently.

Lennox really seemed to have urgently brought in the villa.

It seems like your father loves you and your spouse very much?

However, the fake identity he used to buy the Velot estate was the name of a non-existent merchant family.

He bought such a big villa.

Thanks to that, the villa caretaker couple thought of him as a whimsical young master from a rich family.

Lennox Carlyle, who wasnt sitting in the Dukes mansion, looked just like a young man of his age.

It was nice to have no one around and be quiet, but Juliet liked the fact that if she walked a little, there was clean water flowing.

Before the villa caretaker left, not only did he hint at a spot where fish were caught well, but he also brought out fishing gear from behind the villa.

The trout in this valley are also famous for being delicious.

Thanks to that, instead of lazing around in the bedroom all afternoon, they went to the waterside, but the fish in the valley were very fast.

Despite the hope, every failure made Lennoxs expression unusually serious.

Its not as easy as it looks.

Splish.

With her ankles soaked in valley water, Juliet, who was watching the wet man, chuckled at him.

Lennox turned to look at Juliet, who was smiling brightly, with a puzzled face.

Why?

I was wondering if wed be able to eat dinner like that.

Well, it wont be a big deal if we skip dinner for a day, right?

Juliet was very excited to finally find something Lennox couldnt do.

The opportunity to tease a man with good motor skills who could do anything well didnt come often.

However, Juliets joy didnt last long.

A moment later.

Really nasty.

Juliet was flabbergasted.

Clunk.

In front of her, a large bowl was put down with two fish, their scales still gleaming, flapping about.

The bowl was large enough to be heavy.

How did you catch it?

This.

What Lennox modestly pointed to was a hunting bow. She couldnt even imagine what he did.

Initially, dinner was prepared separately, and freshwater fish were difficult to handle, so they were really caught for show.

What should we do?

Let them go, quickly. They look pitiful.

At her words, Lennox obediently released the two large fish.

As soon as they were released, the fish darted away swiftly with their long tails. Juliet, who was watching them, grumbled.

They must have been blind fish.

If you say so, that must be it.

Pretending to be modest, Lennox said so and impulsively pulled Juliets waist closer, kissing her forehead lightly.
