Chapter 51
I didn’t know the exact time it was, but I could tell it was late at night. Meaning it would take a while to get the food prepared.
A long silence prevailed after the Duke spoke, making me a little anxious, not knowing what to talk about now.
’It’s not like I can suggest a topic...’
I did think of using the post-it like notes... but my body was still feeling weary and I didn’t want Marianne’s Father to worry anymore by making it obvious. So Even though the constant silence was starting to make me uncomfortable, I abstained from asking for them, to break it.
’Ugh, I hate this silence...’
To help myself from the awkward sensation, I began searching with my eyes for something to distract my thoughts within the walls that made up our bedroom.
Not much was of real interest. The pretty furniture was already familiar enough to not amuse me like the first days living here, and there wasn’t anything more in this bedroom that could now pick my interest like before.
Scanning for a second time, my eyes went to my lying body.
Seeing that my clothes had been changed from the homey dress I was using when I met with the Duke to drink tea...
’...I guess it was to be expected...’
I felt a little apprehensive about having someone change my clothes while I was unconscious but... They can’t actually let me rot in the same sweaty clothes for who knows how long...
Now the attire was a nightgown that had a thicker fabric than the ones I started to use lately.
