Regrets Of A Second Male Lead

Chapter Eighty Six: Another Dream (1)

Chloe and Gerard were reading together in the morning.

"My Lady, did you like that passage?"

Gerard asked upon noticing his wife's eyes were glued to one of the passages in the book.

"Yes, how could they have written a scene like this?"

Chloe wondered in pure admiration. Gerard chuckled because her slightly opened mouth looked adorable.

He naturally tried to put a cookie in Chloe's mouth. It was a big problem because he kept wanting to put something between those pouty lips.

"No, I'm fine."

Chloe turned her head away from Gerard's hand.

"Why? Do you want something else?"

"I need to stop eating. You're making me fat."

Chloe grumbled.

"I eat late night snacks every night as well as during the day. At this rate, I think I'll have to replace all of my dresses."

It was as she said. Gerard sat right beside Chloe night or day, and he tried to feed her something every time.

"You'll just have to get a new set."

However, Gerard said as if asking, 'What's wrong with that?'

"No, I mean..."

Chloe was quite stunned at his gentle tone.

"Even if you gain or lose weight, you'll still be pretty."

Of course, Gerard wished Chloe could gain some more weight now while fiddling with Chloe's tender wrist.

Chloe's concentration was eventually broken by her husband's constant attention. Despite the fact that he was originally soft spoken, he had been too straightforward in expressing himself lately.

It felt nice but embarrassing to her.

"Hm, shall we get ready?"

Chloe closed her book loudly. She wanted to shake off her anxiety inside with reading, but she couldn't concentrate.

It was also because her husband kept interrupting her, but it was mostly because of the delayed meeting caused by their fevers in recent days.

The meeting was just around the corner. Chloe bit her lip at the rising tension.

"All right, my Lady."

Gerard gently squeezed his wife's hand upon noticing her trembling fingertips. She seemed nervous from breakfast until now.

"It's an important day today, so we have to prepare thoroughly."

Gerard replied with a sweet smile. They still had a lot of time until the evening, the time of the appointment, but thinking about it made Chloe want to throw up.

Today was the day Catherine and Gaon visited Blanchett mansion.

***

A woman wearing a robe got off the carriage and took Gaon's hand. Chloe unconsciously stiffened in her spot at the sight of the slender silhouette.

In order to calm his wife down, Gerard squeezed his wife's hand lightly before letting go. He stepped forward and greeted the guests calmly.

"Welcome to the Blanchett mansion. I'm Gerard Blanchett."
