The Happy Ending Love Story

Lady Veronica #12

His eyes were open thin as sharp as needles. The loss of Ivan's memory may not have been an act to deceive everyone, but Verdi hid his doubts as he did to her.

"I also wish maybe, it's something like that, but it seems like it's true."

Ivan, who used to hate touching her, now demands that they sleep together and even kiss her today. Being so obscene that he could not show a single look of disdain. It's a change that can't happen unless the person does.

As Veronica stroked her lips, Verdi gulped her tea with a puzzled face, deep in her own thoughts.

"It's an unimaginable circumstance, but anyway, I really think this has been a good opportunity for you."

Hearing the unexpected words she heard from him, Veronica hurriedly removed her hand from her lips. Only after doing so did the word 'chance' reach his ears.

"A chance for me?"

"I'm talking about the opportunity to have a successor."

At that moment, Veronica's mind went blank. It might be obvious from his expression as Verdi, who was staring at him while calmly sipping his tea, added.

"Why are you so surprised? Vero, isn't this something you want too?"

"That's.., but…"

There is one thing that unsettles Veronica when her husband dies, the absence of a successor. It is true that they do not use the same bedroom and they do not hold hands since their wedding ceremony. Still, he felt empty, despite knowing that it was not something worth expecting.

Even if an aristocratic young woman would marry into another family and would become the Mistress of that family, it could be said that her existence could not remain in that family forever. Because they are in a relationship where they will become strangers just by divorce at any time.

The only way a woman can be fully a part of the family is to have a successor born with family blood. This is to establish the basis of blood ties in the family and strengthen its position.

In fact, during Ivan's funeral, people mostly comforted him with the fact that he did not give him a replacement. It was proof that the other nobles in the capital paid close attention to that aspect.

"Why don't you try it again?"

Verdi was also aware of the fact that the relationship between them was not so good. Therefore, his voice whispering to him to take advantage of Ivan's amnesia made him feel dizzy, as if the devil's temptation was waiting for him.

But can the task really be easy?

Ivan has lost his own memory, but Veronica keeps remembering everything that has happened between them as a married couple.

Although it was clear that Ivan had become a completely different person from before he died, he would still feel that kind of anger and emotion every once in a while when he saw his face, and his mind will remember the past where things didn't happen. But, after all, she couldn't spill that anger on her husband who didn't remember anything at this moment, so she continuously calmed herself down.

'Sleep together ......'

It is natural for married couples to share one bedroom together, especially when they have the intention to have a successor. Of course, it is not only sharing the same bedroom, but also the same bed. And they have to have sex often until she gets pregnant. He felt ashamed for no reason, even if everything he had just thought of was something learned through theory.

"Now is the right time."

The thing she was most worried about was the way that it could get other women pregnant and she didn't know. Fortunately, whether anything happened, she must have controlled herself because nothing like that had happened during their two years of marriage. Still, he could not calm his agitated mind. 

And if anything, the constant meeting between her husband and Terria Ophel increased her anxiety. If Terria Ophel was planning to conceive her child by chance, Veronica's position was something that could be easily taken away. With Terria Ophel in mind, his heart became impatient for no reason. While worrying about this, something he regretted later might actually happen. Thinking that, Veronica was unable to end her worries.

Two hours after Verdi left, Veronica went down to the dining room for dinner, checked if the chair opposite her was empty for some reason, and tilted her head.

"Where is my husband?"

He asked before sitting in his chair, and the waiter, who was serving food, quickly replied.

"I had told him that the food had been prepared, but there was no answer from him."

'Squeaky.'

That's something weird. Not once had he avoided their food for the past week, and he would usually be the first to go down and wait for him, with a shameless smile on his face. Veronica stared at the empty chair with a pushy look then turned her legs towards the entrance of the dining room.

"I'll go to his room and see it for myself, so finish preparing the food for us."

"Yes, Madam."

He left the dining room and gulped his saliva as he headed towards the second floor. Veronica had just made a decision about their relationship in the bedroom, which she talked about often. He was also aware of the fact that they needed to sleep together one way or another in order to have a successor.

But after he sent Verdi away, he was unable to meet him. It was because he did not have the courage to face it as the impact of their first kiss held strong. Every time he recalled the strange kissing sensation, he could not help but hold back as his heart would pound.

Outside the window, the orange-colored sky had disappeared, and the surroundings had become dim. The lights hanging on the corridor wall illuminated the interior of the mansion, which had become extremely dark. As she walked along the barely visible corridor, she remembered her husband's red eyes, sending cold tremors to her spine for no reason.

'Come to think of it, what is it exactly?'

Now it was clearly visible until he could not take it as an 'illusion.' The iris had turned into a deep red color. He should have asked her once more when she avoided answering her question. He did not have time to do so because things happened so suddenly in such a short time.

'We're going to go to the dining room together and I have to ask her indirectly, ' she's secretly plotting.
