Capítulo 254: Marriage on Shaky Ground

Know that I've always loved you. It doesn't matter if you only see me as your little sister. My love for you has never wavered.

— Lea

Adeline's footsteps echoed softly on the cobblestone path as she approached the greenhouse, her expression a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. She had noticed Uzana's frequent visits to the greenhouse lately, often leaving behind various items and potions.

Lea, now serving as Adeline's personal assistant, looked up from arranging a shelf of botanical specimens as she heard Adeline's footsteps approaching.

Adeline's heart sank, knowing the tension that loomed between her and Uzana since their argument six months ago had put their marriage on shaky ground.

They hadn't spoken to each other since, and they now slept in separate rooms.
