Chapter 44

༺ The First Letter (44) ༻

Senior Delphine eventually tucked her gown in upon hearing my repeated pleas . She sat across from me as her crimson eyes glowed with inexplicable irritation.

I may have earned a little bit of her hatred. I too was disheartened. As Senior Delphine said, her exposed body was akin to a beautiful piece of art.

However, I couldn’t help it. I just couldn’t stand the current atmosphere.

The sweet fragrance permeating through the room, the romantic atmosphere created by the delicate lighting on top of a half-bare woman with a rare beauty.

This room seemed to be designed to entrap men. I breathed a sigh of relief after Senior Delphine finally tucked in her gown.

Even though she was covered up, Senior Delphine was still beautiful. Her immaculate fair legs that stretched out between the gown caught my eye as they have done numerous times thus far.

Nevertheless, it was fortunate for me that she did not reveal her hidden curves. When she approached me just then, my mind fogged up due to the scent of flowers lingering on her skin.

A proper conversation between two individuals was only possible when both sides were thinking rationally. A man who’s spellbound by a woman wouldn’t have been able to make rational decisions. Perhaps Senior Delphine’s scheme was a honey trap all along.

I pondered such a possibility but quickly burst into laughter inwardly at my own foolishness.

Delphine Yurdina sets a honey trap soley to deal with the second son of a countryside Viscountcy?

It was absurd. She could do whatever I could do, and she had whatever I could hope to have. Delphine was superior to me in every aspect, whether it be ability, wealth, or status.

She didn’t need to set a honey trap for me. When you think about it rationally, she was acting as she normally would.

While I secretly heaved a sigh, Senior Delphine spoke with a seductive voice.

“You were like a beast when you were brandishing a hatchet, but now you are acting like a naive, meek little boy who values chastity. I’m a bit disappointed, Hatchet Lord.
