Divorce Manual

Chapter 36

"Don't you know, you two are being called the Romance of the Century?"

"... ... ."

"You really do look like that."

Marissa's gaze alternately shifts between Charles and me.

"... ... .."

He pats the back of my tightly held hand and smiles with his gaze slightly lowers. He looks at me as if he's the most doting husband in the world.

Are you crazy?

From the bottom of my heart, the only thing I feel is the goosebumps.

"... ... ."

Marissa laughs, never straying her eyes from us or specifically from Charles, who continues being unquestionably affectionate.

This is why you guys are siblings.

I can't make an accurate judgment because I don't know either of them well, but I think they both can see each other's intention very clearly.

These scary siblings...

The suspicion that I have after Evangeline's appearance, along with Marissa's, and now their ongoing mental battle, convinces me that he really wanted to break off relations with his family.

Tell me honestly. You lived comfortably thanks to me, right?

"Hm... You look good, Charles, but you still lack a sense of humor."

Grinning, Marissa then takes off her gloves then lock eyes with Charles.

He returns the gaze with the same intensity.

"It's good to see you. This is it our first time, isn't it? It's Marisa Perette."

Marissa's words seem to emphasize that they have never noticed me before while I was in the social circle of the capital is incomparable to Evangeline's insult.

I might be old, but I have enough memories of the years in social circles to know that she's been wanting to be like the former duchess since she was a kid— 'The position must be on the highest level.'

In addition, her husband, Marquis Perette, had a great political sense. When Charles was in trouble, he was the first person to end his relationship with Charles.

Wasn't he first person connected to the Diago family that moved over to the side of the Fourth Prince Kyle?

That can either be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing. In the novel, the author heavily portrayed such aspects of Marquis Perette, but did not mention his wife.

Right, was it because there was no direct connection to Abigail?

"This is Abella Diago."

I could feel Marissa skimming up and down my body as she holds tight onto her feigned smile.

"Yes."

Then she coldly looks at Charles again.

"It's been a while, but Lapel is still standing."

"Yes."

"Except for one thing."

You're staring at me again. You must be tired, too. I want to rest.

I dealt with Catherine, and to some extend, Evangeline. Now, it's Lady Perette.

Whoo—it's one mountain after another.
