The New Duchess
Chapter 7: Attention

Since that afternoon quarrel, Ainslye did not leave the room. He was aloof, pondering the reason why he had returned to this time.

“ why am I alive again, does destiny want me to suffer many times? “ Ainslye grunts make irregular patterns on his pillow.

Milly was not allowed to enter with the other servants. Ainslye skipped her lunch.

“ lf I go back when I'm not married to Axton, maybe I will reject this matchmaking. Can live alone to be a business woman like Samantha “ continued Ainslye, with her innocence continues to imagine so that her life can be better. Whereas someone like Samantha is actually a caress-hungry woman, living freely without ethics. There are no real family and friends. Just waiting for a new bad luck will stop and regret.

Tok

Ainslye flinched from the daydream hearing a loud knock on her door.

“ I told Milly I didn't want to go out. I want to be alone” shouted Ainslye.

“ want to see when you're like this, come down. Dinner was ready” almost Ainslye stopped breathing, in shock it turned out that the door to his room was Axton. Fortunately the door is not in the key, if it is certain Axton will be more angry.

“ em, alright” replied Ainslye weakly.

At the dinner table the atmosphere is quieter than usual. The spoon's detection sounds pretty obvious.

“ tomorrow some party supplies will come, you choose which one is good” Ainslye directly looked up at Axton. He almost thought that the dance would be canceled by Axton. A sparkling smile was now imprinted on Ainsley's face.

“ thanks” the answer is doubtful.

“ no problem. 4 days we will be busy preparing everything. Home decor and your food menu are taken care of. Guest list, invitation and welcome let me take care of” explained Axton. It felt like a dream for Ainslye, Axton granted his wish. The old celebrations were so difficult. Now it easily materializes.

“ few days I didn't see Grace?” ask Ainslye. He had just realized that these few days the bully had not fumbled his eyes.

“ he's I'm ordering outside business. Chances are 3-4 more days will be back”

“ what a pity “ Ainslye girl, she thinks if Grace is no longer working here. Unfortunately, the carpet did not happen

“ baby why?”  asked Axton who could still hear Ainslye's mumbling earlier.

“ what? What do you call me?” Ainsley who misinterpreted Axton's question began to misbehave.

“ call? I asked, honey why?” Axton doesn't understand the direction of Ainsley's question. Even more confused by this conversation.

“ a.a.i'm okay” replied Ainsley to his own confusion.

“ I mean, baby why?  You said it was a pity”

“ no, when I say too bad” conversation between the two of them different interpretation, will not meet. Both Axton and Ainslye were equally confused by the conversation. The waiter who was watching them was also confused.

“ already, forget about” Axton who was a little upset choosing to leave the dining table. He had actually finished his dinner.

“strange basics” sneer Ainslye when he saw axton left him with an annoyed look. Ainsley who was still hungry continued to eat without much thought.

This morning the Duke Wellington residence looks so busy, the equipment that Axton said was much larger. There are even some artisans who are in charge of renovating parts of the building that are less suitable. Gardeners are also busy fixing some plants.

Ainsley was still fixated on all this bustle. Axton doesn't mess with the dance. All so neatly arranged, Ainsley caught Axton's desire to throw a big and magnificent party. Stay 2 days from now, it is only appropriate if the preparation is speeded up.

Some people asked the Duchess.

“ Duchess for table decoration need how many flowers?”

“ alright”

“ Duchess for roof does need extra lights?”

“ Duchess for menu, what to serve?”

“ Duchess ballroom later indoors or outdoors?”

A wide variety of questions swarmed Ainsley wherever his steps came to a halt. Today she had truly become the mistress of the residence. Although Ainslye did not have the experience and knowledge related to organizing the party, but at least he had good taste and thought. Everything worked out as she learned from her husband's file.

“ aah, tired once” day already afternoon when the decoration is almost finished. All the work is stopped, tomorrow another.

Ainsley was on the sofa downstairs. Lying with feet still dangling down. Very clear wrinkle fatigue. Every day, decorating is very energy draining. He just observes and comments.

“ this madam” Milly who saw her mistress exhausted immediately give her a drink.

Ainslye immediately took a quick sip of the drink.

“ relieved, bring me Milly” fruit stomach so feel a little hungry. Milly immediately went to the kitchen.

“ you look so tired” Axton just came down from his study, saw his wife lying down, made him want to come over.

“ he’em, I just knew throwing a party was not as easy as in my mind” Ainsley changed his position to sit.

“ yes this is” Axton sitting next to his wife.

“ what invitation is done?”

“ of course, even distributed Brian” replied Axton lightly, while taking the fruit that Milly just brought.

“ wow you are quite also” praise Ainsley who he caught Axton even underestimated it.

“ obviously I'm a Duke, the invitation problem just need a moment”

“ yes-yes, you're really great” Ainsley is still chewing while chiming in Axton's speech. Hearing the trivial praise Axton suddenly felt flowery, although he often get compliments, but somehow this time it feels different.

“ do all your tasks run smoothly?” axton's turn to ask.

“ is good for the decoration, I can handle a little. But for the menu can you help me? I don't know what kind of food rich people like y'all” usually eat replied Ainslye bluntly. Although there was no intention of insinuating, but Axton felt stifled and guilty.

“ seems to be able, besides my job is done” Axton continues to boast. He wanted to hear a compliment from Ainslye.

“ you are indeed reliable” once again Axton feels flowery, praise from his wife so affects his mood. I don't know if Axton doesn't know why either.

It did not feel they were both preoccupied with talking until nightfall. After finishing dinner, the two immediately entered the room.

“ em Ainslye..” call Axton when see his wife wants to go into the room.

“ yes what?”

“ after the dance is over, you better move to a bigger room “ Axton a little bit of a worry about Ainslye's reaction.

“ which room next?” ask the curious Ainsley.

“ next to the main room of the 3” floor Axton directly passed into the hallway of his room. Ainslye silently glued, how not. The 3rd floor main room is Axton's room. So her husband wanted them to stay in the adjoining room. A red tinge suddenly graced Ainsley's cheeks.
