My Contract Husband Resembles the Male Protagonist - Chapter 3
“Excuse me?”
Sigh.
I cautiously pushed the man’s head with the door.
He had fallen, and his face was completely covered by black hair, making it hard to recognize him.
“Hey.”
Tap.
I touched him again.
“Gasp…”
I was left speechless.
The man was so incredibly handsome that I couldn’t find words to express it.
“What’s going on? An illusion?”
I rubbed my eyes and looked down again, my heart pounding so hard that it was difficult to calm down. I thought being startled by something was reserved for encountering bugs, not seeing a person’s face.
I closed my mouth and stared down.
The man’s pale skin was as clean as a peeled egg, and his wet black hair was dark and decadent.
An excellent harmony of a well-defined high nose bridge, a chiseled jawline, perfectly sculpted facial features, and a commanding presence even with his eyes closed.
I had never seen someone like this before.
“You never appeared when I was searching for a good man.”
Once, I secretly met and dated men to avoid marriage with the Emperor. At that time, this strikingly handsome man, who was now right before my eyes, was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be a dream?
“Eek.”
I pinched my cheek, and tears welled up.
“It’s not a dream.”
At least, it wasn’t a dream.
However, if it wasn’t a dream, it didn’t explain why this handsome man was right in front of me on the first day of my move.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at the man. I almost forgot why I was hiding in the first place, captivated by his beauty.
Because I’m avoiding the Emperor.
Logically, there was no reason for such a handsome man to collapse in front of my new house in this rural village, especially on a day with such awful weather.
“Could he be a spy sent by the Emperor?”
I nudged the man with my toe.
His collapse made it seem like he was injured somewhere.
“…..”
And it seemed like I should help this handsome man who looked like he needed assistance, but…
It’s suspicious.
“Does that despicable Emperor actually know I have a weakness for pretty boys?!”
Luckily, we weren’t that close.
I kept staring at him for a moment before attempting to close the door firmly. However, something suddenly crossed my mind.
[To ensure the lady’s safety, Emma is taking care of it.]
Emma was my servant, our family’s maid who secretly helped me run away from home.
When I informed Emma of my trip to Grunwald, she replied to me.
[Emma will choose a sturdy lad to send!
Grunwald is too unfamiliar, so it’s dangerous to stay alone.
You’ll need someone to protect you, so don’t worry,
Emma will send a reliable man!]
“…This was it?”
I stared at the man who seemed like a gift from Emma.
“She said she’d send someone through the guild…”
They actually sent a real person.
I stood there, getting soaked in the rain, silently observing the man.
I didn’t want it, but I had to accept the delivery.
If he died here, they’d just leave his body.
