บท 550: Complicated Feeling

"You two, especially you, Luke, don't drag your brother and wife along any longer," Maximus advised. 

A few hundred years ago, Sam and Luke married Valentine and Nora. 

While Sam and Valentine married in confusion, Luke and Nora entered their marriage with entirely different feelings. 

Nora married Luke for the sake of a marriage alliance, treating herself as a sacrifice, a transaction for the betterment of the Fritz Family.

Meanwhile, Luke unknowingly developed feelings for Nora. 

Unfortunately, his love was unrequited. To Nora, everything was merely a transaction. 

Although she was respectful and willing to do everything a wife should, Luke could see in Nora's eyes that she felt nothing for him. 

The very rationality in her gaze, the trait that had initially captivated him, now stood as a barrier between them.

Seeing those same rational eyes turned against him, Luke was devastated.
