I’m In Trouble Because My Husband Is So Cute - Chapter 106

Chapter 106

The Duchy’s estate was vast and Zachary’s main activity was the land of savages, the northernmost mountain range, and snowfield where beasts usually appeared.

“Actually, I knew that there was a sea nearby and Florente Island.”

Perhaps noticing her suspicious look, he looked rather embarrassed so Iellie asked.

“But…?”

“It was a place my mother liked, so I intentionally erased it from my head.”

Even though Zachary just spoke calmly, Iellie, who was listening, became more solemn. Still, he had a casual face and smiled as he reached out and patted her on the head.

“But even if it’s an uncomfortable place for me.”

“….”

“If I make more memories with you, this place will surely become better.”

His voice was full of belief.

Feeling pure faith in her and affection for her, Iellie was a little embarrassed.

“That would be nice.”

“Surely it will.”

As the two of them were silent for a while as they looked at the sea, the sound of the tumbling waves tickled their ears. The sea was beautiful, reflecting the moonlight and shining like glass. Although it was spring, the sea breeze was still chilly.

“Are you cold?”

Asking that, Zachary took off his robe and wrapped it around her body. Iellie looked at him as she adjusted the collar.

“If it’s cold, you can hug me.”

“You’re slick.”

“Oh, that’s a bit too much.”

He laughed out loud when he finished his words.

Leaning on Zachary’s arms, he pulled her into his arms. Iellie, who was watching the sea in a peaceful landscape, was a bit emotional.

‘My past life…’

Her memory was now very fuzzy, but at one time, she lived in Korea… an ordinary female college student suffering from the stress of finding a job.When she saw the sea she had only seen in her previous life, she couldn’t help but think about her past.

‘Why was I born in this world?’

To say that one was reincarnated after death, shouldn’t they be born again in the world they lived in? Of course, it didn’t mean that she was reincarnated in this world, but why did she have to be in this world…?

“Len, what are you thinking?”

While she was lost in her thoughts, Zachary stuck his head out and looked at her. Iellie smiled clumsily.

“Nothing, it’s not a big deal.

Even in the dark, his deep blue eyes shine clearly. She had a sudden thought. Perhaps she came here to meet him. It would be great if that were true.

Iellie stroked Zachary’s cheek as she thought so.

“Your eye color… it resembles the sea.”

“Len, you know what?”

“What?”

“You are the only one who says that to me.”

He made eye contact with her and smiled. Monster and ice… how could he compare himself to such words?

“I’m not kidding.”

“I know you are serious.”

Zachary answered in a calm voice. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said that.

“I just want you to be the only one.”

“You asked a person like that to get a divorce, and you did really well. Right?”

Iellie narrowed her eyes as she glanced at him. Apparently, the remnants of that time did not go away easily.

“…I’m really sorry.”

As he spoke in a serious tone and tightened his arms around her, she leaned her head back before answering.

“Yes, pay me back by feeling sorry for me for the rest of my life, understand?”

“Alright.”

While Zachary quietly nodded his head, Iellie smiled contentedly as well. She glanced up at the sky.

“Wow… so many stars.”

“I know.”

Among those countless stars, perhaps there was the world she used to live in, but she didn’t want to go back to that world of her previous life. What made the world feel better now, even though her previous world was much more developed there?

‘Zachary… it must be because he’s by my side.’

She tightened her grip on his hand.

There was only the sound of the waves that tickled the ears from time to time though the surroundings were quiet. Stars twinkled in the night sky that stretched far above her head as the overwhelming feeling of being alone in this world and a deep sense of fullness filled her chest.

Iellie laughed.

“Now that we’ve come all the way to the sea.”

“Len?”

“I think it’s rude not to go in the water.”

Iellie, who got up to her feet, moved. Her light chemise was rolled up wildly, revealing her white legs, and Zachary’s face flushed red.

“Len, your legs! If you pull up your dress like that, all your legs are visible…!”

“What’s wrong, there’s only you and me here.”

Iellie looked back at her husband with a sullen face. Rather, she regretted not having a swimsuit. Well, it was not the weather to go into the water too much yet.

She walked along the beach thinking about it.

“Oh, it’s cold!”

In the meantime, as she briefly touched the sea, the rushing seawater was up to her ankles.

“You’ll catch a cold.”

“What are you saying? It’s just like dipping your ankles in seawater.”

Saying so, she smiled confidently. However, at that moment, the cold water splashed up to her calves again because of the rising seawater. Iellie staggered away as she got startled and let out a brief scream.

“Kyaa!”

“Len?!”

Iellie lost her balance and fell. Surprised, Zachary hurriedly ran.

“Aaww…”

“Are, are you okay?!”

“Yes, I’m not hurt, but…”

She glanced up at Zachary with a teary face. At the same time, his expression subtly changed. It was because the chemise his wife wore was made of light and comfortable material.

That was…

“…Zachary?”

Iellie looked at him with a face full of suspicion, but Zachary was still frozen in place. Her white skin showing through the water-soaked dress was too revealing.

“Ah, my God.”

“What? Are you angry that I fell?”

“It’s, not that…”

Her husband shook his head and stuttered slightly.

Gently biting his lip, Zachary brought the coat, which she had taken off, before draping the robe over her body, picking her up and embracing her.

“Hey, I can walk alone… If you hold me like this, would you get wet as well?”

“That’s fine.”

Zachary answered firmly. He walked along.

‘Ah. no way…’

As she looked up at him in his arms, Iellie could see that the back of his ear was bright red.

“….”

She glanced down at her body the next moment, and only then noticed that pale pink skin was peeking through the wet chemise. Oh, my god. It took an instant for her face to turn red like a ripe tomato.

‘…Zachary, your heart beats so fast.’

Hearing his heartbeat, she felt a little relieved. Still, she was glad she was not the only one who was excited.

Iellie buried her head.

…What to do, she was so excited. She held her breath.

The first thing her husband did upon arriving at the mansion was only one thing. To put Iellie in the bathtub full of hot water. Zachary, who was adjusting the temperature by running the hot water in the bathtub, asked her.

“Which scent do you like?”

“Uh, um, bergamot…?”

When Iellie replied with an awkward face, Zachary asked, deftly picking up the bath salts.

“This?”

“Yes, that. I’ll do it.”

“Ah, yes.”

He then handed her the bath salt with an embarrassed face. Looking back, it was a bit embarrassing though it was nice that he went straight into the bathroom, just with the thought that she shouldn’t catch her cold.

“….”

“….”

The two hadn’t even had their first night together yet. Iellie tried to smile.

“You can go now.”

“Yes, yes.”

Zachary looked embarrassed and stepped back.

When the door closed with a click, Iellie let out a long sigh. She was in an awkward situation because of the bath before, and it was like that again this time.

‘…But I can’t go on like this forever.’
