My Husband is Suspicious - Episode 42
Dreid must have told me everything, but strangely, I kept doubting him. I didn’t want to doubt him anymore, but whenever I heard his stories, something felt unsettling. Especially what happened today.
‘Where on earth did he find that person…?’
Atrin was an unpleasant person for some reason.
Soon, as if the food was ready, Dreid carefully placed a plate in front of Eleanor. Eleanor looked up and smiled.
“Thank you.”
Dreid smiled at her smile and lightly kissed Eleanor’s cheek. Eleanor’s lips stiffened subtly.
‘Dreid is so consistent, but why do I keep doubting him? Why…?’
I thought the misunderstandings were all resolved, but it seemed that wasn’t the case. Eleanor frowned.
“Eleanor, what do you want to say?”
Eleanor looked up at the sudden voice. He was sitting across from Eleanor, his eyes full of curiosity. He had a bright face, as if he was willing to listen to anything. Eleanor briefly recalled the unpleasant memory and spoke calmly.
“I’d like you to change the employee.”
“……”
Dreid was silent. His eyes subtly hardened. A brief silence passed. Eleanor stared at him, not taking her eyes off him. Dreid was looking at the food in front of Eleanor. After a moment, he looked up and met Eleanor’s eyes.
“Did Atrin do something?”
He seemed to say it lightly, but his tone was subtly sharp. Eleanor hesitated for a moment and said.
“It’s not like she did anything in particular, but she’s too annoying. And it seemed like you ordered her to monitor me. Why did you do that?”
“You skip meals when you’re distracted by other things. So, I was worried and said that. Did it make you feel bad?”
“Yes. I felt uncomfortable thinking that someone was observing me like that. And she’s a stranger I met for the first time today, but strangely, she feels unsettling.”
As Eleanor spoke as if she was fed up, Dreid smiled. He spoke gently, as if to calm Eleanor down.
“I’ll talk to her. Atrin is originally that kind of person. I think she tried so hard to listen to me that she went that far.”
“You’re not going to change her?”
“Well, I’ll think about it. People like Atrin are rare.”
“Why her?”
“She has a calm personality and is good at her job.”
He spoke as if he knew Atrin well. Eleanor looked at him uncomfortably and opened her mouth.
“Do you know Atrin well?”
Dreid smiled for a moment and slowly opened his mouth.
“Actually, she used to work at my mansion before I married you. She’s working at a bank now, but this time, I asked Atrin to look after the mansion.”
Dreid said casually. If Atrin had looked after Dreid’s mansion before the marriage, Dreid must have seen her steadily as well.
Eleanor asked Dreid with an unpleasant feeling.
“Dreid, didn’t you think she was strange?”
Dreid answered without hesitation.
“Not at all. Atrin is someone who keeps the line better than anyone else. So, don’t worry too much. Since you said you were uncomfortable, Atrin will have understood.”
Dreid seemed to want to end the story about Atrin. He was gently forcing her, as if wanting Eleanor’s understanding. Eleanor didn’t want to acknowledge his coercion.
“Dreid, I still don’t like Atrin.”
As Eleanor spoke with a firm will, Dreid seemed to think for a moment and opened his mouth.
“Eleanor, you saw Atrin for the first time today. So how about giving her about 3 days?”
“But……”
“It’s the first day. Please understand with a generous heart.”
Dreid smiled gently. Then he picked up a fork and ate the food naturally. Eleanor looked at him for a moment. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had dinner. She observed him as if he were a strange plant. Then she remembered what Dreid had said.
The first day, please understand with a generous heart. Come to think of it, Atrin had a bad first impression from the first day. Eleanor sighed. Should she watch a little more? With a generous heart, as Dreid said?
Then Dreid said.
“Eleanor, if you still don’t like Atrin after a few days, I’ll change her right away.”
It was like driving a wedge. Eleanor reluctantly nodded. It was unsettling, but if she still didn’t like her later, she could just change her.
Eleanor looked at Dreid again. He ate well today.
“Dreid, you’re eating dinner today.”
His hand, which had been moving lightly, stopped. He slowly met Eleanor’s eyes. As soon as their eyes met, the corners of his lips curved smoothly.
“I thought it would be nice to eat with you. Sometimes I’m curious about what kind of taste you feel.”
Dreid seemed to be eating the food purely out of curiosity. It was only today that it was amazing that he was eating like this. Still, Eleanor didn’t dislike eating with him like this. And the food that Dreid made was always delicious. Eleanor looked at the food in front of her and said.
“Dreid, what you make is always delicious.”
She spoke sincerely. He had done a lot for her. When she looked up, Dreid was smiling happily. Eleanor stared at him for a moment and then lowered her gaze. Dreid was definitely unchanging and grateful, but strangely, one side of her heart was uncomfortable.
After all, what happened at the Raftin Hotel bothered her. What on earth happened then? Strangely, whenever she saw Dreid, she thought of Mackiv.
Then Dreid’s voice was heard.
“Eleanor, what are you thinking about?”
“Yes?”
“I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen that look.”
Dreid smiled brightly. Even so, his eyes stared at Eleanor tenaciously. Eleanor concluded that she wouldn’t be able to figure anything out even if she worried about it in her head. Even if Dreid hated Mackiv, she had to know what she needed to know.
“Dreid, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
Dreid put down his fork and rested his chin on his hand. His handsome lips curved softly. Eleanor put down her fork, looked at him, and said.
“Where did Mackiv go? Was he there when you came into the room then?”
Dreid’s face hardened in an instant. His lips, which had been smiling, were tightly closed, and his eyes, which had been subtly shining, turned cold.
“Eleanor, why are you asking that?”
He said, taking his hand off his chin. His voice seemed to be suppressing something. He seemed to be trying to smile, but his face was subtly stiff.
Eleanor swallowed. The atmosphere instantly sank. It felt like standing on ice.
But she couldn’t shut her mouth now. Eleanor spoke calmly.
“I’m curious. Now that I think about it, I’m actually bothered by the fact that you said it so simply.”
Eleanor spat out the words she had only been thinking in her heart. When she raised her eyes slightly, Dreid was staring straight at Eleanor. He had no expression. He seemed to have always had that face, but he was completely different from before, as if he were a different person.
It was unfamiliar, but Eleanor continued to meet his eyes.
“……”
But Dreid didn’t answer. Eleanor fiddled with her fork. Then Dreid lowered his head. It seemed like a smile flashed across his face. It was fleeting, but he definitely seemed to have smiled.
Then Dreid raised his head and looked at Eleanor. The smile she had seen earlier seemed to remain subtly.
“Eleanor, I told you not to say that bastard’s name.”
“But……”
His deep blue eyes took on a strange light. It was a heat that seemed like it would ignite if it went wrong even a little. In the end, Eleanor closed her mouth. It seemed like a fire would really ignite if she said any more.
Eleanor slowly moved away from his gaze and looked at the clothes he was wearing. The pin clip was still in place. As if he noticed Eleanor’s gaze, Dreid lowered his gaze to his clothes.
He looked at the pin clip and smiled.
“Eleanor, I only think about you. I was thinking about you while looking at this even in Delfos.”
Eleanor also remembered. He had smiled happily when he saw the pin clip. Thinking about that time, her heart calmed down subtly.
‘Dreid thinks of me that much……’
Thinking that, the tracking device in Dreid’s pin clip bothered her. It would still work if Eleanor turned on the tracker.
Eleanor stopped talking about Mackiv around there. First of all, Eleanor herself had something she couldn’t say to him. It was that she had planted a tracking device in the pin clip he cherished. Strangely, the words wouldn’t come out.
Come to think of it, Dreid also avoids talking about Mackiv. So, is this a draw?
As Eleanor didn’t say anything, Dreid’s face gradually softened, as if he was feeling better.
“I ate well.”
Eleanor didn’t want to eat any more food, so she got up. For some reason, she felt stuffy when she was with Dreid. It seemed to be because Dreid didn’t say anything himself.
As Eleanor got up, Dreid also got up. There was still quite a bit of food left on his plate.
“Dreid, eat more. You don’t have to get up because of me.”
“I’m done.”
Dreid said simply and cleared the plate in front of Eleanor. As Eleanor stared at Dreid for a moment, he smiled brightly and kissed Eleanor’s cheek.
“I’ll go up first.”
Eleanor nodded. A moment of silence flowed, and Eleanor turned her body. It felt like a wall had been created again subtly. Eleanor slowly climbed the stairs.
‘What on earth is it? What else is he hiding?’
Now she started to think like that. Should she have just asked more about Mackiv earlier? Strangely, her heart kept getting weak when she was in front of Dreid.
Eleanor sighed. It seemed that her feelings for Dreid hadn’t changed. She just seemed to want to believe Dreid. But reason couldn’t do that. She was still worried about Mackiv’s matter. Come to think of it, the matter related to Mackiv could also be something he was hiding.
