Chapter 24: Damn Ex-Husband
“He wanted me to testify about the Wyverns raid.”
“Seriously….?”
As expected, Evelyn wasn’t the only one to think like that. Her ex-husband was a man with no common sense at all.
“But the funny thing is that I already knew it, so I wrote it all down on paper and gave it to him.”
“Did he try to get to you again? Oh my God. He really didn’t call you because he still has feelings for you right? But if he saw your pretty face, maybe his heart would be hooked again.”
“No thanks. I don’t want that kind of attention.”
Evelyn was severe when she said that.
“And he still seems to have no idea why I asked for a divorce.”
When Fabian asked ‘why’, Evelyn was already speechless at the moment.
“And the worse thing is, he’s still wearing our wedding ring on his left hand.”
“Princess, maybe that’s….”
Rebecca carefully asked her with a different look, but Evelyn shook her head.
“He doesn’t even know if he’s still wearing a ring, or he forgot it was a wedding ring.”
Otherwise, there was no reason for Fabian to wear a ring after the divorce.
“And when I left the Imperial Palace, I left everything, including my wedding gifts and my wedding ring.”
“That’s wise…..”
“What’s he doing then? Maybe he still doesn’t know that, so he’s still wearing his ring.”
The two women sighed long.
“Ha, men…..why are they so indifferent?”
“I mean, I don’t know why he was married if he didn’t know what to do with marriage.”
The two women who already had drunk faced each other and nodded.
“I would never have been married if I had known it was something like this!”
It was the word that Evelyn had buried in her heart all this time.
“So do I…..Why does a woman have to get married? And have to divorce annoyingly!”
“That’s right! And I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s my fault. We’re married, so why am I the only one who responsible for the divorce?
Evelyn couldn’t even say that to her parents because her parents’ feelings would hurt. But when I drank alcohol and had a friend in the same situation in front of me, my words burst out.
“The world’s wrong. I’m not going to remarry.”
“So am I! I……All I need is Adrian.”
“You said that, the King let you take care of the prince when he grows up. Is that true?”
“Yes, I volunteered. The divorced Princess is the right person for the job because she’s free.”
A fresh, smiling Evelyn’s cheek blushed.
“The prince is so lovely. I’m so jealous of you.”
“Well, I don’t blame you.”
Evelyn, who was already drunk, nodded.
“Would you like to see my Adrian walking? When I see him waddling, all of my worries would fly away.”
“Emma, come and bring the Prince!”
Soon, the maid brought Adrian into the room. As Evelyn said, the way he stood up and wobbled along with something was a healing for the soul.
“Oh, he’s so cute!”
“Right?”
The two women had fallen in love with Adrian, with their jaws closed.
“Abu! Ana, Anana!”
Adrian, who tried to walk excitedly, gritted his mouth, which had only two uppers and three lower teeth. Adrian didn’t even know how cute he was.
“He’s always talking like that these days.”
“He’ll start talking in a moment, I guess.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to his first word.”
Rebecca and Evelyn looked at Adrian’s wobbly walk. The existence of her damn ex-husband faded away with Adrian’s cute act.
“Bubu! Ana! Anana!”
His meaningless sound was just cute.
“What do you want to say?”
Little Adrian came and clung to Evelyn’s leg. When Evelyn tried to hug Adrian with a smile on her face, the maid hurried up and whispered something in Rebecca’s ear.
“What? ······Princess.”
Evelyn stopped trying to hug Adrian, looking at Rebecca. But even before Rebecca talked, there was a knock on the door. Liam came in and set an example.
“I’m sorry to disturb your time, princess.”
“I! Hey, are you ignoring your own sister?”
Liam, who lightly ignored Rebecca’s protest, was surprised to see Evelyn’s red cheeks.
“Sister, did you just give the princess a drink?”
“The princess is an adult who can enjoy drinking.”
Ha… Liam sighed. In his eyes, his obstinate older sister Rebecca was a dangerous person.
“That’s enough of you. Princess, I have an urgent issue right now, so I took my excuse.”
“Liam. Your attitude is the problem. The Princess is so lovely, why are you … too big, not funny, not cute ….dark …”
It seemed that Rebecca was very drunk.
“I’m sorry, Princess My sister drinks too much. Emma, take care of my sister!”
A maid called Emma rushed out to help Rebecca, who said no.
“It’s all right, I’m….I.”
Luckily Evelyn looked calm. Liam was glad that Evelyn was a quiet person, unlike her sister.
“Because, I have Adrian. Because Adrian is cute. It’s not too big, it’s fun just looking at him, and most of all, he’s so cute and……. lovely…..”
“Princess?”
Evelyn smiled with slightly loosened eyes.
“And he’s so…..cute again.”
“Yes, that’s true, but…”
“And ….he has…..five teeth.”
“······Yes.”
“Two upper teeth and three lower teeth. I’m proud…… And……and…… cute. That’s right, and it’s lovely.”
Liam was mad at Rebecca. This beautiful Princess seemed to have lost her mind for a moment after being manipulated by her wicked sister.
“Princess, don’t be surprised and listen. I don’t know why, but the Emperor on his way to the Akshire’s residence.”
“Huh…..”
Liam was embarrassed by her unexpected reaction.
“If he come, just come!”
The image of the Princess that was vaguely in Liam’s memory was no longer here.
“You think I’ve run away… It’s an illusion, an illusion!”
Only
Evelyn snorted again, arrogantly.
“I’m fed up with my damn ex-husband, he’s nothing to me.”
Those were scary words for anyone to hear, And usually those words could be heard by the person concerned.
“Are you talking about me?”
Suddenly, Liam’s spine became chilly. He was afraid to look back, but Fabian’s voice rang again.
“I asked if you were talking about me?”
Of all things, the person who wasn’t supposed to come was coming.
