The Duke walked silently beside Li Ai Li.
Thanks to little Victoria, who chattered incessantly the whole way, Li Aili didn't immediately take the carriage and flee the capital.
She distracted herself from dealing with Victoria, wanting only to get to her room quickly, close the door, and escape Arthur's suffocating gaze.
The West Wing Annex at Clark Palace is reserved specifically for guests.
It must be said that Harry Clark is a professional when it comes to enjoying himself.
He built the West Garden like the Sky Garden of the Wind Giant, with a pure 'nouveau riche' beauty.
They just pile all the expensive stuff here.
As for the annex...
The construction was even more indescribable.
I wonder if Harry Clarke, the "Mad King," knew that Arthur Cold Emerald had paved the floor with gold bricks.
The villa in Xiyuan was gilded.
The entire building, under the sunlight, was particularly... dazzling.
Judging from Fisher-Nankey's expression right now, you can tell how bad Harry Clark's taste is.
They practically had their 'disdain' written all over their faces.
Of course, for Li Aili, living in a gilded house was out of the question.
She would be grateful for any room she could have alone, to separate her from Arthur Cold Jade.
The West Garden Villa was very large, but even so, Li Aili and Fishernanki each occupied a floor by themselves.
“Then, Ellie, how about you stay on the third floor and His Majesty Fisheranki stay on the second floor?” Victoria suggested.
Li Aili thought to herself: Anywhere is fine, just let me into the room quickly!
However, you still have to keep smiling and say, "Okay."
Fisheranki walked over to Arthur and whispered something to him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Aili lifted her skirt and walked up to the third floor.
Get out of here!
Don't be fooled by the many doors on the third floor; they're actually studies, recreation rooms, tea rooms, and more...
They actually only lived in one room.
Victoria led Li Aili to the only bedroom on the third floor and said with a smile, "This is it."
Li Aili stepped into the room, eager to close the door, but Victoria blocked it with her foot.
“Ellie,” she cried sullenly, “you haven’t complimented my diamond ring as much as you have!”
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili gave her a thumbs up, "Your diamond ring is absolutely gorgeous!"
After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
Leaning against the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's really strange.
She felt nothing when she got divorced.
But when she saw Arthur Cold Jade again today, she still couldn't remain 'still as water'.
She silently cheered herself up: Hang in there! Just a little longer, until the investiture ceremony is over, then I'll be free!
Knock, knock, knock, the door was being knocked on.
Li Aili sighed.
She could understand, really. They had waited so long to revive their fiancé, show off their love, and force people to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)... she really could understand.
Li Aili forced a smile, opened the door, and said, "Victor..."
Then she saw Arthur, a tall man, standing in front of the door.
My ex-husband's face is still damn handsome, just like always.
They were so close that Li Aili could smell the familiar scent of marigold perfume.
Her body reacted before her brain, and she reached out to close the door.
However, the man's long, strong hand blocked the door.
No matter how hard Li Aili tried, she couldn't close the door.
Very well, she lost to a dragon lord in a contest of strength.
Li Aili opened the door. "Is there anything else?"
She could see her own reflection in those beautiful blue eyes.
Lee Eliton felt like she had nowhere to look.
Arthur spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Ellie, let's talk."
Just then, Victoria sent the first-class maid, who was there to take care of Ellie's daily needs.
I happened to witness this scene.
Maid: "…………"
Li Aili: "..."
The maid didn't say anything, just quickly bowed, turned around and ran away!
Li Aili felt that she hadn't said anything, but she had said everything.
Unfortunately, to avoid any strange rumors circulating in the palace the next day, she chose to let the Duke into the room and clarify things.
Arthur walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
Li Ailin suddenly panicked, feeling that being alone with her ex-husband in the bedroom was not a good idea.
The tall man looked down at her.
Li Aili inexplicably froze, too afraid to move.
She had a feeling that if she backed away, this man would pounce on her without hesitation.
"...What do you want to talk about?" Li Aili asked, trying to distract Arthur.
To everyone's surprise, Arthur said, "The gemstone ring I gave you is more beautiful than the one Albert gave Victoria."
"But you didn't take it with you."
Li Aili: "..."
Arthur looked down at the slightly ill-fitting dress on Ellie.
"You are so cruel."
"You didn't take any of the things I gave you."
"You threw them all away."
Li Aili calmly called out the man's name, "Arthur".
"We are divorced, according to the contract."
The word 'divorce' is like a spark that ignites a powder keg.
Arthur stared intently at Li Aili with slightly reddened eyes, his hands gripping her shoulders with great restraint.
"You said we'd talk again after we've resolved things in the capital."
"But when I rushed back, you had already left!"
"You broke your promise again, Ellie!"
