Chapter 214: Keep Your Wife in Line
Late at night, Viscount Arend Estate.
The moment Leon entered the house, he began taking off the formal attire he was wearing. The maids waiting at the estate immediately swarmed over, and two maids greeted him while simultaneously reaching out toward him.
At first, Leon was somewhat at a loss because of their actions, and only realized half a beat later that they were preparing to help him remove and take care of his clothes and hat.
Before leaving today, when he had put on his formal attire, the maids had also bustled around helping him get everything in order, which left him somewhat unaccustomed to it.
These maids were professionally trained servants Leon had hired from an agency introduced by Father Auden. They were quite skilled at serving people, but Leon himself was not accustomed to this kind of life where others waited on him.
By comparison, Adele was far more accustomed to it. She raised both hands and cooperated with the maids as they first removed her silk scarf, hat, and hairpin, then lifted the hem of her skirt and headed upstairs. The maids followed closely behind her. With everything she was wearing, it truly would have been difficult to change out of it without the maids’ help.
Leon simply changed into another coat, then said to Adele: “I’m heading back first.”
Adele, who had just been about to go upstairs, stopped and came back to her senses: “You’re leaving?”
“What, is something wrong?” Leon asked in return.
