章節 44: How Dare She [Rebecca’s POV]
As I went to grab the books I needed with Linda, I reminded her.
"Linda, Nick and I want to study in private, so you should stay outside and not let anyone disturb us like last time. But this time, do not let anyone inside at all. If someone is looking for us, give us a shout and we will come to you."
Linda bowed her head in regret. "Yes my Lady. I'm sorry about last time. After you stormed off that day, I felt really guilty. I'm glad that it looks like you and my Lord were able to make up."
Linda was a nice person. I think we could be good friends.
"Don't worry, it was an understandable mistake. Luckily, he made it up to me and now we are better than ever."
After we returned, Nick said he needed to grab one more book so he would go with Linda to find it. I was a little paranoid about leaving Nick alone with a girl, so I offered to join them. However, Nick rejected me harshly!
This was too suspicious. Did Linda let Nick in the library that day on purpose to hurt our relationship? Was she laughing at me on the inside when she said she was sorry about it?!
'That sly b*tch!! How dare she try to take my man from me! Nick too! How could he want to meet up with a girl after he promised to only have me in his life?!'
After Nick told Linda to leave with him, she stood there acting hesitant. I know the real reason she is hesitant is because she doesn't want her secret relationship with my husband to be revealed.
"Just go then!"
I needed to catch them in the act of their rendezvous, so I could properly punish them. Luckily, the assault law hasn't been changed yet, so I can still beat the crap out of Linda.
After they got out of eyesight, I quietly followed them. What I saw when I reached them shocked me to my core.
When I got in sight of them, Nick was leaning in and whispering to Linda with a smile on his face.
'I'll f*cking kill her!'
I was about to chant a spell, but I was able to calm my raging emotions down. At this point, Nick was just whispering to her. It was not enough evidence to be sure he was cheating on me. I started biting my nail, anxiously waiting for the moment to strike.
Eventually, they sat down at a table and started talking about dresses.
Nick was such a kind man. The words of praise he said to her reminded me of the things he would say to me. He promised her unbelievably good terms just like he did for me. I thought I was special…I thought he would only be sweet to me alone…
Before I knew it, tears were uncontrollably flowing down my face. Everything I thought was true was a lie. Maybe he will still care about me and let me be his lover, but I won't be able to have him all to myself like I wanted.
My fairytale future plans were completely shattered. I knew it was too good to be true. My whole life, I have been unlucky. I should have known that fate was trying to give me false hope so that it could take it away from me later.
Then, Nick talked about how he would make me model Linda's dresses since I was beautiful. Nick was giving me a compliment, but I wasn't happy at all.
I didn't want to help support his new lover. I didn't want to be forced to be a part of some peaceful harem. I don't care if I'm being selfish. If he ever wants to take a second lover, I'll fight with them every chance I get and make their life a living hell.
'Screw it, if I freeze her solid now, I can stop them from being together. Then, Nick will be all mine again. This is her fault for seducing a married man. She has no right to complain about the consequences.'
As I leaned in closer to the bookshelf I was hiding behind to get a clear view to cast my spell, Nick dropped a bombshell. He said that the only reason he was doing any of this was because he had wanted to make a dress for me.
I was so stunned that I accidentally hit my head on the bookshelf I was hiding behind and a book ended up falling loudly on the floor.
I hide as best I could and held my breath in silence. After a minute, they started talking again. Luckily, I wasn't caught.
As I sat behind the bookshelf, I was able to process what Nick had said. He would have offered the same deal to anyone that could have made the dresses that he envisioned for me.
His actions had nothing to do with him having feeling for Linda and instead were because he wanted to get a surprise present for me. Good thing I didn't attack her without getting the full picture. In the future, I need to trust Nick more.
I could feel a smile uncontrollably come to my face.
I wonder what kind of dresses he wants me to wear. He must have a unique sense of fashion since he is from another world.
As I was think that, Nick started describing each dress. One was a thin yellow and white checkered dress that doesn't need a corset. I think it will not be received well by nobles, but I also felt that it was hard to sit down earlier today under the tree. A light unrestrictive dress would be amazing, it just depends on how Nick plans to convince other nobles that it is acceptable to wear.
Another was a short and tight black dress…did he want to see the shape of my body that badly? I could feel the heat on my cheeks rising. I couldn't wear anything too provocative in public, but maybe in the privacy of our bedroom.
The final dress was a yellow formal dress. He wanted to make our first ball and first dance special. Nick is so romantic. He is really like a Prince Charming.
No wonder he said he would just have James give him the gist of the ball dancing when I offered to help him learn to dance. Originally, I thought it was because he was embarrassed that he was a bad dancer.
This guy has so many sneaky plans to treat me special! I need to start working on my own plans, so that I don't get out done. Nick deserves to feel as happy as I feel right now from learning about all the work he is putting in behind the scenes to make me happy. I do think my surprise kiss on the cheek earlier today was pretty good.
After I made up my mind, I quickly returned back to my desk of books without getting found out. The first thing I can do for Nick is help him learn everything he needs to know to succeed in his debut into the social circle.
As I sat down, I couldn't stop giggling as I replayed the things he said earlier. It felt so good to know that he talks about how much he loves and cares for me even when I am not around. I'm glad that he is not two faced!
