The Duke's Substitute Wife
Relationships that have broken up

"Lilli," Baroness Lilliana turned her head. The man immediately hugged Baroness Lilliana. He didn't know where Duke Arland was from. Duke Arland doesn't know he owns a dress shop.

"I miss you, Lilli." He let go of her embrace, then hugged her again.

"Huh," Baroness Lilliana let go of his embrace.

"Where do you know I'm here?" ask Baroness Lilliana.

"Em, that, I just accidentally saw you." Lying Duke Arland. He can't possibly tell the truth. Lilliana might scold him or stay away from him. "I'm grateful, you want to accept Viola." His word.

Baroness Lilliana smiled slightly. "She's my daughter, of course I love her."

"When will His Majesty the Duke divorce me?" ask Baroness Lilliana.

"What do you mean?" Duke Arland looked into both eyes. He thought Baroness Lilliana would forget about it.

"Dad." Viola approached, actually he wanted his parents to unite, but there would be a heart that was hurt. Better, they split up nicely.

Duke Arland smiled, just this time. Viola called him father. "Viola."

Viola walked up to him, then hugged Duke Arland. "There are some things you don't understand. My relationship with my mother is very complicated. Think of Duchess Eliana's heart, she's the one who's always been with her Dad, she's always there for Dad." Viola let go of her embrace. "Split with your mother well."

"Vio, you want your Dad and Mom to separate. Don't you love Dad? are you going to break up with Dad? There's been a lot of mistakes that Dad made on you. Aren't you going to forgive me?"

"Dad doesn't want to lose you," Duke Arland hugged Viola again.

"I promise you, we'll still be a family. Dad accepted me, didn't he. Then from that."

"Alright, your mother doesn't want you either, but at least, you didn't break with Dad. Okay, I'll do it for you."

Viola smiled, he stroked Duke Arland's back. Glanced at the mother, who was so moved. Now that the relationship is over, maybe this is the best path for him. Hopefully with the relationship ended there will be no more heart hurt.

"Alright, I have to go to the restaurant first Dad. Do you want to see my restaurant?" ask Viola.

"Are you in business too?" ask Duke Arland. He did not know that his daughter was in business. Though women just keep quiet, party and hold meetings with noble women.

"Come on." Viola held the arm of Duke Arland in the presence of Baroness Lilliana. They also headed to the shop next door. Entering the store, he looked towards Viola while stopping his steps. "Is this your restaurant?" ask Duke Arland. Who does not know about the restaurant that is famous lately.

"True Dad."

"Madam" said one of the servants.

"Bring fried rice and snacks upstairs." Viola.

"Duchess Viola." A man approached her with pleasure. These few days he was waiting for Viola's arrival from Baroness Lilliana's house, his heart impatiently meeting Viola. The more intense the longing he felt.

"I've been waiting a long time for the Duchess to arrive." His word.

"Fine and Mother should go upstairs first, I'll talk to the Marquess." His word.
