Married to The Duke | LK Adaptation

Chapter 28

Lisa already had three consecutive strokes in her dark history.

She had acted as if she fell in love with him at first sight earlier, all the while singing 'la la la la~' without knowing he was watching her the whole time.

She even said that she fell in love with him out loud.

The next mistake she made was to call Jungkook, whom she assumed was about to enter her room and tell him that she wouldn't sleep with him tonight because they weren't married yet.

Perhaps, those were the things that caused her nose to bleed right in front of his eyes.

It was impossible to estimate how long it would take her to forget this humiliating event.

"Are you all right, Lady Lisa? I will get something to stop the bleeding, so use this to block it for a while."

Jungkook tore something from his sleeve and blocked Lisa's nose with the silk cloth.

However, his large hand hesitated on which side of her nostrils he should block first, which immediately brought her to action.

Unfortunately, Lisa, despite being an aristocrat, acted in a way that was far from the courtesy he deserved.

"I--I'm going in now!"

She left the 'VIP staying at their mansion' in the hallway and walked away from him like the devil was at her heels.

The hem of her long skirts fluttered with every step she took.

This should be nothing compared to the three scenes she had previously added in her dark history.

"Oh no! This is humiliating."

The strong desire to punch the pillow and kick her blankets had raised to the ceiling.

The reason why she couldn't do that was because Jungkook was in the next room.

Her pride of not wanting to be noticed how shaken she had felt due to shame kept her in bed.

Still, her insufferable thoughts continued to bubble up from her mind.

"Why did both of my nostrils have to bleed at the same time? This is entirely Jungkook's fault. Why was he even built like a rock?"

Lisa whisper-shouted in the silence as she continued blaming his hard, solid physique.

It was embarrassing and to think she was destined to live with him under the same roof from now on!

Anyway, she shouldn't have to feel ashamed of her nosebleed.

It was a mere physiological phenomenon that she couldn't stop.

No one could stop the bleeding if someone hit their nose against the wall.

Yet, why did her heart pound like she had run a thousand miles?

Why did her cheeks turn hot and why was she feeling anxious all of a sudden?

Lisa was keenly aware of the man on the other side of her wall for a long time.

Disorganized thoughts had overflowed in her brain that she wouldn't be surprised if they managed to drip down her throat.

She'd better get some sleep to prepare for her long journey to the North.

Despite such worries, Lisa fell asleep at some point.

Jungkook sighed and plopped down on the bedside.

After rubbing his face dry with a towel, he took a long breath but he could hardly calm down.

His feelings right now were rather complicated because of the beautiful girl, sleeping soundly next door.
