My Husband is Suspicious - Episode 14

Then, as if Dreid felt her gaze, he lifted his head. When he met Eleanor’s eyes, he smiled lightly and said,

“You haven’t gone up yet?”

“Ah, I was just about to.”

With a queasy feeling, Eleanor turned and climbed the stairs. Her mind was complicated as she went up.

Why does Dreid seem hurt?

Because I didn’t eat the food?

But I couldn’t imagine enjoying it in this situation.

How could I enjoy something Dreid made in this situation? Everything related to him feels unsettling. Moreover, I could trust him a little before, but now…

But still, Eleanor was bothered by his figure from earlier. Even when she tried not to think about it, she kept thinking about it.

‘Sigh. I should have just gone straight up the stairs, why did I have to look at Dreid?’

It was quiet around, and turning around was like an instinct. It was just that she felt a little sorry for going up before Dreid, so she unconsciously turned around. Who knew Dreid would look like that?

It was a look she had never seen before.

Eleanor felt like she was weakening towards Dreid for a moment. Clearly, Dreid was hiding something.

She needed to steel her heart so she wouldn’t be swayed, but she was already wavering like a reed. It seemed her feelings for Dreid hadn’t completely faded yet.

Maybe he didn’t tell the truth, so the situation could still go either way. Maybe it was a difficult fact to say in the current situation, or something like that. So, there might be a legitimate reason why Dreid isn’t saying anything. As soon as she had that thought, Eleanor sighed.

‘I really am a reed, a reed.’

But they’re still married. Anyway, Eleanor wanted to believe Dreid. The fact that her feelings for him hadn’t changed still played a part.

Still, she was curious about what Dreid was hiding. Since he wouldn’t tell her, she had no choice but to investigate Dreid thoroughly herself in the current situation. She had a feeling that tomorrow morning would be busy.

* * *

Eleanor deliberately headed to her study. After all, today was a holiday and she didn’t have much to do. She was planning to stay here until Dreid fell asleep and then go to the bedroom.

Now, Eleanor wanted to slowly distance herself from his body. Above all, he was such an attractive person that she would have no choice if he openly seduced her.

Eleanor wanted to maintain her reason. She didn’t want to be swayed by his body anymore.

When she went up to the second floor and opened the door to the study, familiar things were already scattered around. Documents and magic tools were strewn about like a mess.

She deliberately didn’t clean this place. It looked messy at first glance, but everything was in its place. Eleanor didn’t take long to find what she needed here. It was complicated, but she already had the locations in her head.

In the center, a green magic tool was sparkling to find the family’s treasure. She had been collecting information here and there, but she still hadn’t found the necklace. There was no news even though she turned the magic tool all day long.

Eleanor stared at the green magic tool for a moment and then picked up a magic tool that was lying messily on the desk.

It was a magic tool that needed a lot of work. She had already given up before because there was no way to fix it, but it was perfect for killing time. She was busy fiddling with the magic tool that wouldn’t be fixed.

There was a knock on the door from outside. Eleanor got up and opened the door. Dreid was standing there. He looked at Eleanor and said,

“Eleanor, I’m going out for a bit, do you need anything?”

Eleanor shook her head.

“Not really.”

“Really?”

Dreid took a step inside. Eleanor tilted her head and stepped back.

“Dreid, didn’t you say you were going out?”

At those words, Dreid chuckled. He gently touched Eleanor’s cheek and kissed her on the cheek. The sound of his lips falling, smack, was loud.

As Eleanor just stared blankly, Dreid said,

“I’ve made dinner, so make sure to eat even if I’m late.”

Dreid said that but didn’t move. His bright blue eyes were stubbornly looking at Eleanor. Eventually, Eleanor nodded.

If she didn’t nod, it didn’t seem like he would leave this place. Anyway, she had no choice but to do as he said now.

As Eleanor expected, Dreid smiled brightly and turned to leave the study.

When the surroundings had become dark, Eleanor went downstairs. There was food, just like Dreid had said a few hours ago. It looked quite delicious.

There was white bread with apple jam, and Eleanor knew what it tasted like because she had eaten it a few times. She wasn’t drawn to it, but eventually, she was too hungry and had no choice but to eat it simply.

She simply satisfied her hunger and immediately went up to the study. The magic tool was still the same. This magic tool had been like this for a long time. No matter what she did, it wouldn’t be fixed.

Several hours passed like that. Her eyes were getting heavy.

Then, there was a light knock on the door. Eleanor lifted her head and looked at the clock. The time was almost midnight.

“Eleanor, can I come in for a moment?”

It was Dreid’s voice. It seemed he had returned.

“Come in.”

Soon the door opened and Dreid came in.

“Eleanor, aren’t you sleeping?”

“I’m going to fix this.”

Dreid walked towards the desk where Eleanor was sitting. He looked at the magic tool Eleanor was fixing and said lightly,

“It’s broken, isn’t it?”

“I can fix it.”

“It looks like it’s already broken beyond repair.”

Eleanor’s hand stopped for a moment. When she looked at him in surprise, he leaned over the desk, resting his hands on it. In an instant, Eleanor and his face were close.

It was so sudden that Eleanor looked at him without even having time to step back.

“You…”

“When you went to the request office early, I tried to fix it, but I couldn’t use it at all.”

“Then why did you leave it like this?”

“I thought you might have left it like that on purpose. I thought you might fix it when you’re bored.”

Dreid smiled brightly.

Eleanor chuckled in disbelief.

‘What, why does he know me so well?’

No, it was like he knew her better than Eleanor herself. Dreid stared at Eleanor’s eyes for a moment and then said slowly,

“Aren’t you tired?”

Avoiding his gaze, Eleanor hesitated and said,

“…I’m okay.”

Eleanor lowered her head as if everything had been exposed. But Dreid stubbornly met her eyes.

“Eleanor. Have you not been feeling well lately?”

“Why?”

“You keep not eating… Ah, is it because of that person?”

“……”

“That’s why I told you not to investigate. Because you’re too worried.”

At those words, Eleanor lifted her head.

“But this is…!”

Eleanor got up from her seat because it felt like she was too close to Dreid. Then Dreid also slowly got up and met her eyes again.

“Eleanor.”

He took a step towards Eleanor.

“……”

“I’ll take care of it, so you stay out of it.”

“…Are you ordering me?”

“It’s not an order, it’s a request.”

Dreid said seriously. Then he gently touched Eleanor’s cheek. Eleanor turned her head. Dreid chuckled and lowered his hand.

“Do you know that your pouting face is cute too?”

“I’m not pouting…”

I’m angry. Eleanor didn’t say she was angry. She just chewed those words in her mouth. After all, even if she said it, he would probably treat her with ease as if nothing was wrong. Even in this situation.

Dreid stared at Eleanor for a moment and then said lightly,

“I’m going to Delfos for a while. It will take about 3 days, do you need anything?”

At the sudden words, Eleanor looked at him.

“Delfos?”

“Something came up.”

“Something that would require a business trip from the bank…”

“An anonymous person is trying to invest a large sum of money in our bank. So, I have to go there myself to sign the contract.”

“Didn’t you say you were a low-level banker?”

At those words, Dreid laughed.

“I’m just following along. I told you that before too. That people only look for me.”

Is he really going because of that? Delfos was famous as the place where the Crown Prince’s villa was located. Why would Dreid, who had only worked at the bank, suddenly go there?

Suddenly, Eleanor had an interesting idea.

‘What if I take this opportunity to track Dreid?’

After all, the Fin Bank has strict security, so she can’t even enter the place where he works. If she tracks him at times like this and succeeds, she will be able to know whether what Dreid is saying is true or not, and if she’s lucky, it was an opportunity to know his identity in more detail.

Eleanor smiled.

“…Have a good trip.”

“Aren’t you sad?”

“It’s work anyway. It’s not like you won’t go if I tell you not to.”

“I don’t have to go.”

“Yes?”

“I won’t go if you tell me not to.”

“But…”

In an instant, Dreid kissed Eleanor on the cheek. Before Eleanor could be surprised, Dreid kissed her.

“Mmph, Dreid.”

Eleanor barely pushed him away. He obediently stepped back and said in a low voice.

“I won’t be able to see you for 3 days, and I’ll be thinking of you all day.”

“……”

“Can’t you forget about this junk tonight and pay attention to me?”

“……”

Eleanor was trying to regain her reason. But his breath kept touching her. And his deep eyes too.

It bothered her. She didn’t want to be bothered.

Moreover, it seemed like he would be lonely for 3 days. And she also remembered his figure from earlier…

* * *

Eleanor opened her eyes to a soft feeling. She met Dreid’s bright blue eyes. He smiled brightly and slowly got up. Eleanor finally admitted it. Reason doesn’t work in front of his body.

At this point, she wondered if her body wouldn’t work even if her feelings for him cooled down. Well, from the beginning, Dreid had captivated Eleanor and even got married.

Eleanor calmly looked at Dreid. Dreid was already ready to go out. A white shirt suited his firm shoulders well. His naked body was good too, but he looked good in any clothes.
