The Monstrous Grand Duke's Fake Lady

Out of embarrassment, Vivian immediately pulled up the blanket and tried to cover her body entirely. However, her tired and heavy body still couldn’t move in the way that she wished it to be.

He grinned softly at her careless yet vigilant behavior of pulling up the blanket even though she had been writhing while moaning under him just then.

“What is the time now?”

“7 o’clock.”

At Knox’s prompt response, Vivian immediately felt like her senses were chillingly returning to her. It was already too much later than her usual time. As she remembered that her master was definitely waiting for her, Vivian’s complexion turned pallid once again.

“I… think I need to go now.”

“How are you leaving with such a body? I’ll call the county for you, so just rest here for today.”

“I can’t!”

Vivian shouted sharply.

Knox stared intently at her, obviously shocked by her response, but Vivian could no longer maintain the perfect imitation of Alexia anymore.

She was quite glad that his sight wasn’t that good, but that had made her detest him as well. He could fairly perceive Vivian’s own actions, still he could never verify her expressions or even her other prominent details at the same time.

That must be it. That’s the only reason why he could readily share his body with me, who wasn’t even Alexia at all. Vivian was left with only scorn for herself. In contrast to her vehemently flushed body, her heart was remarkably cold.

Vivian bit her lips as she looked at him resentfully for embracing her in his arms just earlier.

“I’m…fine. I’m able to return home. Which is why, there is no need for you to call……”

As he had quietly listened to Vivian’s rushed words, Knox then reached out before hugging her.

She was taken aback and resisted briefly in his arms, which lasted only for a mere moment. Though instead, she then shivered slightly while still holding her breath that kept bubbling in her chest.

What is she so scared of? If it was him whom she was so terrified of, then he would try to at least understand. However, that didn’t seem to be the case either. Knox wasn’t able to understand her at all.

“Huuu… I got it. Instead, ask the butler to call for the carriage. So, don’t be too hasty.”

Vivian immediately felt her tears welling up as he patted her as gently as he could, just like he was soothing her. She had barely endured the tears that were about to overflow at any moment because of that unfamiliar warmth of his.

“…Thank you.”

She chose to break away rather than staying still in his embrace.

She slowly extended her hand towards the scattering clothes near the bed. Whenever she tried to move, her body immediately creaked like she had been doing something strenuous, nevertheless Vivian still picked up her clothes without uttering a single groan at all.

Vivian kept her stare on Knox only after she had donned on her hat. She then carefully parted her lips towards him, who was still looking at her with puzzling eyes.

“I’d like it if you would keep the thing that happened between us, a secret.”

“Why should I? It wasn’t like we did something that wasn’t allowed.”

His words were completely accurate only if she was the countess, Alexia Britton herself. Still and all, regardless the one who was standing right in front of Knox right now appeared to be Alexia, she wasn’t in fact, Alexia herself.

Vivian began imploring piteously.

“Please……”

“I get it, so don’t say it like that. It’ll make me hate to send you back.”

Knox reached out to her, which Vivian couldn’t bring herself to shake his hand off. He pulled her into his already entwined hands and straight away locked her in his arms.

His hands then wandered over Vivian’s body, which was already dressed neatly.

She was meticulously dressed as if what they had done before was just a lie, but she still let out a small cry as she smiled briefly at his touch. Just when he recalled her crying rather cutely, Knox immediately felt that he had regained his strength in his lower region yet again.]

“Do you really have to go?”

“…..Yes.”
