My Husband is Suspicious - Episode 37

Eleanor put the scattered magic spheres in the drawer and looked at the green magic sphere in the center.

The emerald-like, subtly glowing magic sphere was searching for her family’s necklace. But still no luck.

‘Where could it be?’

The magic sphere was clearly rotating with a faint light, but still no news. Since coming to this mansion, the magic sphere hadn’t even reacted.

‘Before, there were minor reactions…’

Eleanor stared at the green magic sphere for a moment before unpacking her luggage. She couldn’t just keep looking at the magic sphere. Now that she wasn’t going to the request office, she planned to spend her time repairing magic spheres in the mansion. Doing nothing in this mansion was too big and quiet.

Eleanor paused for a moment while touching the magic sphere she had brought from the request office.

‘Mackiv.’

She still thought of him. As Pitty said, he wasn’t the type to leave without a word.

‘He must have left a note…’

She felt uneasy for some reason. Eleanor fiddled with the magic sphere. It might be a good idea to design a magic sphere to gather information about Mackiv. She had plenty of time anyway.

Moreover, now that the request office was closed, even if Mackiv came back, it would be difficult to tell him what had happened. Dreid also told her not to go outside as much as possible.

If she could find Mackiv’s location, she would send him a letter. She felt sorry for not keeping her promise to him, and more than anything, she was curious about why he had suddenly disappeared.

Eleanor began to reassemble the magic sphere. Maybe she wouldn’t be bored while staying in the mansion.

【 Snare 】

The birdsong was particularly intense. Eleanor slowly opened her eyes. Then she looked around. She was already lying in bed, and Dreid was gone, having already woken up.

‘Did I come to the bedroom?’

She remembered falling asleep in the study yesterday while fiddling with the magic sphere. But she didn’t remember coming to the bedroom. Eleanor slowly got out of bed. It seemed Dreid had brought her here.

Eleanor lightly put on her gown and went downstairs. Dreid had already finished preparing breakfast and was looking at the table for a moment. When Eleanor approached, Dreid turned to look at her.

“Did you sleep well?”

Eleanor slowly nodded.

“Dreid, I think I fell asleep in the study yesterday…”

“I moved you to the bedroom. You seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably.”

Dreid lightly kissed Eleanor’s cheek. Eleanor smiled at him.

“Thank you.”

When Eleanor spoke, Dreid stared at Eleanor intently. He was smiling subtly, with a face that seemed to want something. Moreover, his bright blue eyes stared at Eleanor with a strangely persistent gaze. It was a strangely hot gaze. Eleanor finally asked him.

“…Why?”

“Don’t you remember something?”

“Remember something?”

Dreid nodded with a smile. He took a step closer. His thigh came between Eleanor’s legs. He wrapped one arm around Eleanor’s waist. When Eleanor looked up, he lowered his head slightly.

“Eleanor, have you forgotten all this time? I’ll be disappointed.”

As he said that, Dreid’s gaze was on Eleanor’s lips. Instantly, Eleanor thought about what she had been doing to him.

He always wanted to receive a kiss from Eleanor. As soon as she thought of that, Eleanor realized that she had been avoiding him slightly. It was definitely natural at first, but now it felt somehow awkward.

Moreover, when he spoke so pleadingly, she felt her cheeks turn red.

“Eleanor.”

He raised his eyes and met her gaze. As their eyes met, he gave a handsome smile. There was a hint of persistence that he wouldn’t back down until he got what he wanted. Eleanor reluctantly kissed his cheek lightly.

As soon as her lips touched, Dreid smiled as if he had received what he had expected and kissed her. As he kissed, Eleanor’s waist bumped slightly against the sink. It was because he was pushing too hard. Eleanor pushed him away because she was having trouble breathing. When he took his lips away, Eleanor gasped for breath for a moment.

Dreid chuckled and wiped the area around her lips with his thumb. Then he stepped back obediently. Eleanor took a moment to catch her breath and sat down in a chair. Dreid also took a seat opposite her. This time, there was food in front of him as well.

“Dreid, are you eating breakfast today?”

“I wanted to eat with you for the first time in a while. But I feel full now even without eating.”

Dreid said with a smile. Eleanor felt her cheeks flush for a moment. But she smiled as if nothing was wrong and ate the soup. It was a light soup that was good for breakfast. It tasted good, as if a little apple jam had been added. Eleanor inwardly admired Dreid’s cooking skills and looked at him.

Dreid was already dressed in a shirt, as if he was ready to go to work. And in between, she saw a pin clip. Come to think of it, Dreid seemed to always wear that pin clip. It might be obvious, but Eleanor asked just in case.

“Dreid, do you like that pin clip?”

Dreid nodded as if it were obvious.

“I thought of you while looking at this when I went on a business trip.”

Dreid smiled, raising the corners of his smooth lips. It was the happy smile she had seen at Delph’s Cafe. It felt strangely pure. It was the face of a child who had received their favorite gift. Eleanor felt a sense of guilt for some reason.

‘What kind of gift should I give for our second wedding anniversary?’

Now she even had such worries.

“Eleanor, did you prepare another pin clip?”

Dreid said playfully. He had been smiling happily since yesterday. Eleanor looked at him for a moment and shook her head.

“No.”

“Then why?”

Dreid asked persistently. Eleanor hesitated for a moment.

There’s a tracker in that pin clip. How can I say that? Somehow, saying that felt like she was committing a sin against Dreid. No, shouldn’t I be honest?

After all, Dreid had told her the hidden story. And Eleanor had attached the tracking device to the pin clip not just for the sake of it, but because of reasonable suspicion.

In the end, it was Dreid who made it that way. Eleanor barely suppressed the rising guilt.

“……”

“Eleanor?”

Dreid asked questioningly. Not saying anything seemed to stimulate his curiosity. Eleanor sighed softly. For some reason, it was hard to speak in front of him.

‘Should I just not reveal it?’

If she didn’t use the tracker, it wouldn’t harm him. Also, Dreid might not even know there was a tracker. It was even more so because he didn’t say anything. And above all, Dreid liked that pin clip very much.

If she told him that she had planted a tracking device in that pin clip, he could be hurt.

‘It was a pin clip that he cherished so much at Delph’s…’

When she imagined Dreid’s appearance at that time, Eleanor couldn’t speak even more. Eleanor looked at the pin clip on his shirt again. It looked fine on the outside. But she was still uneasy about leaving it as it was.

In the end, Eleanor said to Dreid as naturally as possible.

“Dreid. Could I see that pin clip for a moment today?”

“Why?”

“Well, I was wondering if there were any scratches on the pin clip, I’ll make it smooth. You wore it all day at Delph’s, so you never know. If it’s something you cherish…”

“Eleanor, you don’t have to worry about that. And you shouldn’t go outside as much as possible. It’s dangerous.”

Dreid said as if urging her. If Eleanor said she was going outside now, he looked like he would stand up immediately. Eleanor reluctantly nodded.

She was going to do something if Dreid went to the bathroom or took it off. It wasn’t like anything would happen if she didn’t remove the tracking device right now.

Anyway, Eleanor had to stay inside the mansion as Dreid had said. Maybe putting a tracking device on him was a good thing in the current situation. If Dreid was kidnapped, she could use the tracking device to track him.

But looking at Dreid now, she wondered if that would really happen. He didn’t seem to feel threatened by the Crown Prince at all, as he had said before. He was just worried about Eleanor.

“Eleanor, if you think you’re bored, call me. I’ll always be waiting for your call.”

Eleanor smiled and nodded. Anyway, Dreid was doing his best in the current situation. She was relieved by that.

Eleanor turned her gaze to the food in front of her. It looked like it would get cold soon, so she picked up her spoon and ate the soup again. It was still delicious. Eleanor had a pretty happy meal.

After eating some of the food, she got up from her seat. Dreid waited until Eleanor had finished eating, and got up as she did. Then he skillfully cleared the table.

The table was clean in no time. In the meantime, the empty vase was particularly noticeable. The transparent vase had no water or flowers.

Dreid said, noticing Eleanor’s gaze.

“Are there any flowers you want to see?”

“Not really.”

“Then I’ll bring you the flowers you’ll like the most.”

Dreid smiled and kissed Eleanor’s cheek. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Lord Dreid, are you there?”

It was a familiar voice. It was the voice of the coachman of the carriage that Dreid always rode. Eleanor checked the time just in case. As soon as she checked the time, Eleanor’s mouth opened slightly. It was already long past the time for Dreid to go to work.

“Dreid, aren’t you late?”

When Eleanor looked at him in surprise, Dreid only looked at her as if he found it amusing. She was even more worried by that.
