The Ugly Wife of the Shady Duke
CH 35.1
e street, Benjamin continued to fiddle with the brooch on his chest.
Grace, walking alongside him, observed his repetitive behavior.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Oh, it’s because it’s quite old.
The pin is giving me trouble.”
Benjamin raised the brooch, placing it on the palm of his hand to show Grace.
The seam of the pin seemed loose.
“It seems quite old.”
“I suppose it is.”
Grace sought Benjamin’s permission and took the brooch to examine it.
It indeed appeared older compared to the one attached to her cloak.
“Umm…”
Grace, after contemplating for a moment, untied the decorative ribbon from her hair and used it to secure the brooch onto Benjamin’s tie.
“Will this work? Should I tie it more securely?”
As Grace tied the ribbon, Benjamin, who had been tensed up, held onto the ribbon knot that connected the brooch to his tie as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
“I will never untie it…”
“No, you should take it off when you change at home…”
“There must be a way to take it off without untying the knot.”
Grace couldn’t figure out how to respond to Benjamin’s remark.
She hesitated for a moment before swiftly turning her head away.
“Go…Go ahead and do as you wish, then.”
“Haha.”
Benjamin chuckled as he followed her steps as if he liked Grace’s slightly cheesy response.
Grace was much shorter than Benjamin, so it wasn’t difficult for him to keep up with her steps.
‘It’s strange.’
Grace led Benjamin towards the orphanage, feeling her face flush with warmth.
“You know this place, right?”
“I came here during the festival.
I remember.
You’re still called Linden here?”
“Because Linden isn’t particularly famous on the island.”
Benjamin couldn’t deny Grace’s words either.
Even though the Linden family had a deep heritage, they were not famous.
Even among the nobility, they received treatment like, “Oh, there’s such a family? Huh? They have a deeper history than I thought.”
“If I were to mention the Feltons, everyone would immediately avert their gaze.”
Perhaps, as mentioned earlier, they might secretly dismiss her as ‘that incompetent?’
Grace felt that if the orphans in the orphanage were to look at her like that, it would hurt her heart.
Thinking about the negative reputation she had heard elsewhere, Grace felt another wave of sadness welling up inside her.
