The Duke's Substitute Wife
Accept Him

"Mother" said Ferland looking at her who was on her back. He walked up to the woman sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes glancing towards the small table beside him was a plate of rice, water and bread with a glass of milk. "Have you not eaten yet?" the woman shook her head, then returned.

Listen to her sister's explanation, Abella. He asked Duke Cristin for permission to see his mother. She was worried that her mother would be sad. How good she is as a mother. Only her selfish father treated her mother as he pleased. He tortured her himself, ignored her, and now he's after her. "I'll catch up with Dad. Mom doesn't have to worry. And please don't be like this, Mom still has us not just Dad. At least think of us, Mom." Ferland sent her to her mother, who stroked the back of Duchess Eliana.

"Sister, you take care of me. I'll take Dad home." His word.

While elsewhere.

The Viola was looking towards the pond that had not yet filled with water. One day ago, after he arrived and unwinded. He planned to create a pool for his own bath. He was lazy to just sit and lean inside the bathub. Finally she asked her mother, and of course Baroness Lilliana agreed. Whatever Viola asks, Baroness Lilliana will not think long for the happiness of the child.

The pool was in the backyard with a sturdy wall beside it. Connected to the rear residence and surrounded by sparkling white ceramics. Inside is as tall as his body. And now he can swim here and there like in his world.

Viola smiled happily. He was free from the Duke's residence and could do anything. While the business he had handed over to the mother and someone of his trust in his Restaurant.

"Honey, dinner's ready."

"Yes Mother," Viola said a little. He ran over to the mother who was looking at him from far away.

"Lusa, the pool you can use. Now eat first, don't just look at the pool." Baroness Lilliana rubbed the black mane and walked side by side with Viola. They ate deliciously, occasionally Baroness Lilliana added vegetables to Viola's plate, until Viola nagged not wanting to eat too many vegetables. Baroness Lilliana chuckled, she was so happy to see her daughter now able to eat together without anyone else. Yes, there is no husband. You could say his family, a warm family. Not wanting to remember the past. Baroness Lilliana pinched the cheek of Viola gemes.

"Darling, what's your next relationship plan?"

Viola put a spoon on her plate, "Let's know Mom I don't know. I want a divorce." Honest Viola. To this day, he is confused by his own feelings.

"Don't be too hasty, Your Highness Duke ignored you for some reason, there's a reason. Have you ever hurt her before?" ask Baroness Lilliana. In the past, little Duke Cristin treated the little Viola well. When they were kids, they played three games. Until the fear was in his heart, when Duke Cristin helped Viola from a rampaging horse attack. That raised suspicion in his heart. He was afraid that Duke Cristin was harboring a taste in Viola. Until he himself told Viola to stay away from Duke Cristin then came the little Marquess Ramon who accompanied him.

Day after day Baroness Lilliana grew more and more frightened, the little Duke Cristin was always looking for a gap along with Viola. And one day, Abella once cried because Duke Cristin defended Viola because of a toy. Duke Arland did not hesitate to whip the Viola before his eyes.

"Dear." Baroness Lilliana hugged Viola who was beside her. She wiped her tears, "You're happy with me." Viola nodded, she wiped away her tears.

"Sorry madam, there's a guest outside." One of the servants reported by lowering his head.

"Who's visiting?" Viola and Baroness Lilliana headed for the living room.

"Lilli, let's go home." He covered both of his cheeks.

Baroness Lillian rewinded her steps, "For what did His Majesty come here?"

"Lilli let's go home, I'm sorry. Give me a second chance."

Baroness Lillian glanced at Viola. "Mom wants to talk to her, you get some rest." His word.

"Alright, if he hurts Mom. You can scream for me." Viola said.

"City .."

Baroness Lilliana pulled Duke Arland into the backyard. Snow started falling like rain that would freeze anyone. There was a rough breath that started coming out from the mouth of Baroness Lilliana. "What's wrong?" without looking.

"I'm here to pick you up." Duke Arland was still faithfully staring at Baroness Lilliana who looked away.

"I'm also sorry, sorry for the mistakes of both my parents and sorry I prefer to live alone."

"I'm your husband Lilli."

Baroness Lilliana averted her eyes. Right, the man in front of her was indeed her husband. The husband she once loved, was expecting her love. He was not wrong, he only had a grudge against his father. But his mistake, he spilled that grudge on his own daughter.

"Thousand sorry, I can't. Let's get divorced. You already have the Duchess. He's accompanying you from your slump."

"I realized, it was all my fault, but .."

"Don't think of Abella and Ferland's heart. If you cannot be a husband who loves his wife, accept her as the mother of your children. Think of his feelings."

"Go home, and accept her as your wife."
