My Contract Husband Resembles the Male Protagonist - Chapter 20
“…..”
When the lady’s name was mentioned, his demeanor softened.
Other advisors also began to offer their opinions.
“How about revealing it sooner and having a grand formal wedding?”
“We’ll create beautiful dresses that Lady Lockheart will love.”
“Should we even kidnap a few designers?”
At that moment, Dale turned his head, indicating that he would no longer entertain further opinions.
The throbbing.
Suddenly, Dale’s body felt hot, as if burning.
He clenched his fist and endured a brief pang of pain.
“Everyone, leave.”
He issued a short command without repeating it.
In response to the firm order, all the advisors disappeared from the office.
The pain was short-lived. Dale took a moment to rest and wiped his face.
“…..”
The ring on his fourth finger sparkled.
It was a cheap ring hastily bought for the marriage announcement.
“I didn’t plan to meet like this.”
Dale slowly kissed the ring.

“Dale, are you feeling unwell?”
Clang.
Startled, he dropped the plate.
“Dale! Are you okay?”
“No…Why did my illness suddenly…”
“No, it’s because the flu is going around these days. Mrs. Marge next door caught it too. She said it’s severe and contagious, so be careful.”
“…..”
“You’ve been out for a long time, Dale.”
“There’s no problem with carrying out the mission.”
“You didn’t catch it, did you? That’s a relief. But more importantly, is your hand okay? Where is it hurting?”
I gently held Dale’s slightly injured finger and pouted.
‘On the pretty fingers of such a handsome man…’
I applied ointment to Dale’s finger and wrapped it with a lot of bandages.
“It seems like today’s outing is out of the question. Let’s go another time.”
“Outing?”
Dale’s voice brightened a notch.
He looked at me with round eyes.
“Are we going on an outing?”
“Yes, I have something to buy.”
Dale, who had risen abruptly, went somewhere. He slammed the door shut.
Just as I wondered if his fingers hurt a lot, the door creaked open again.
“Shall we?”
Dale looked at me in a perfectly dressed attire.
His golden eyes twinkled like stars.
“Aren’t you going?”

We arrived at a street of shops in a territory not too far from Grunwald.
“There’s plenty of food!”
“We’re connected to the harbor, so many goods come in from various places.”
“Have you been here too?”
“I come occasionally.”
At that moment, a carriage swiftly passed by us.
“Gasp.”
“…..”
Dale protected me, looking a little angry.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. Thank you, Dale.”
I almost ended this life not because of the Emperor, but because I was almost run over by a horse.
But wait, where is this lovely fragrance coming from?
I looked around.
The source of the fragrance was Dale’s chest.
“Dale, did you put on perfume?”
“I don’t like perfumes.”
Dale, who had been staring at me, awkwardly sniffed his clothes as if embarrassed.
“Could it be that there’s a smell coming from me?”
“No, you smell good..”
Dale followed suit, trying to smell his clothes. However, he tilted his head as if he couldn’t sense anything.
“Is it a pleasant scent for Lady Enya?”
“Yes, it’s a really nice fragrance. Dale, don’t you smell it?”
“In that case, I’ll say that I do.”
Dale gave a light laugh and led me away.
I watched him from a step away and thought,
‘It seems like he’s unwittingly spreading charm everywhere.’
It’s scary when a handsome guy is like this.
Unconsciously captivating people.
But Dale is even scarier.
Handsome, kind, and affectionate.
‘He might have unknowingly committed many sins.’
I wondered if we hadn’t met in this way, If under different circumstances, would I have liked Dale?
