The New Duchess
Chapter 42: Changing

Just one dress that Ai bought for her aunt, Amber understood the change in attitude of her niece which tended to be bad. So they dare not refuse. The man Ai met was of course Amber. Barack Ai's first friend back in the village. Amber did not know exactly what they were talking about, which Ai was clearly affected by. Upon his return at the residence Ai paced with Axton while downstairs.

“ how are you traveling?” ask Axton who also just arrived at the residence.

Ai was silent without saying anything, going straight to the 3rd floor. This makes Axton a little suspicious of what happened to his wife.

“ any problems?” ask Axton to Amber.

“ I also do not know, after meeting with his first Barack friend, Ai so much diam” replied Amber. Axton knows exactly who Amber meant. Quickly catching up with his wife, Axton is sure that the man has spoken a no-no to Ai.

Ceklek , Axton frowned when he found his room empty.

‘ where is he?’ inner Axton.

Switch to Ai's old room, door locked. Ai must be inside. Axton switched through the connecting door. Surely this time Ai was really angry, so she did not want to meet him.

“ Ai “ call Axton found his wife sitting pensively in bed. Ai immediately looked back.

“ Axton? How can?” ai asked for a moment, then turned her face away. I don't want to talk to her husband first.

“ why are you locking yourself up? “ Axton approaching his wife.

“ do not approach” said Ai firmly. He was determined to get an explanation first from Axton.

“ I heard you just met Kleiner?” the rejection of Ai seemed to spark the fire of anger in Axton.

Ai remained silent, if her husband found out about the meeting, surely he knew what Hardwin might say to her.

“ what did he say?” continued Axton who only get silence from Ai.

“ don't test my patience Ainsley” Axton started to growl, he immediately grabbed Ai's shoulder firmly while pulling her up.

“ last” Ai a little pain with Axton's rude action.

“ what did the man say?” Axton begins to weaken as he awakens from anger.

“ why? Why should I from someone else know what happened that night? Why not from you, is it hard to say everything?” Ai had run out of patience, otherwise Axton would have hidden something from her more often.

“ about prince brengseek's? Did he also tell you that he was your savior?” Axton really burned flames of jealousy if Ai was talking about Hardwin.

“ I'm talking about us, why is it so hard for you to tell me. I feel like you're hiding everything from me, what do you think I am? Just your lustful fan?” Ai could no longer control her anger. Axton always blames others.

“ what you say, of course you are my wife, I do this so that you do not worry and fear. Everything I did just to take care of you Ainsley” Axton began to attract Ai's sympathy, she said the real reason. But it seemed that Ai did not directly believe that reason.

“ take care of me from what? “ challenge Ai.  Axton breathed a rough breath, resting his hair back. It somehow made his wife understand, but now was not the time to tell Ai the truth.

“ Ai I beg you we don't need to discuss the past, well I'm sorry. I just don't want me to snare another guy. I was so jealous of the closeness you and Kleiner that” Axton seduced his wife, turning the conversation on feelings. Not making Ai suspicious.

As Axton had expected, his wife fell silent to his confession. He was quite happy to see Ai was not as emotional as before. But wrongly, Ai knew her husband well enough. Hearing Axton's confession even more makes Ai suspicious. His man is not a sentimental, melancholic man. Evidently if there is something that Axton has hidden in his past.

“ believe me, I'm really jealous so don't want to say everything” Axton held both of his wife's hands, carried her into his chest. Ai is still in a daze, if this is how Ai can't get anything. Better to seek it out secretly. Axton really does not want to share the story, do not blame Ai if you choose another path.

Axton gently hugged the wife carrying Ai's head on her chest. Axton calmed down a bit as Ai returned her embrace. It seems Ai's anger has subsided. The couple looks better.

It was night time, since the quarrel last day, Ai still did not say much. Her uncle and aunt became a little worried about their plans. The situation changed from the one they had preconceived.

Ai sat on the balcony of the room alone. Of course Axton is in his study with Allard. They were still finalizing the plan, it was likely that this time Ai would refuse, so it was best that she might be able to start a charade.

“ we can not force it, since meeting the man Ai a little suspicious” said Axton who was sitting in a circle on the sofa.

“ Ainsley is indeed the type of woman who is easily curious. Would we better explain it to him?” asked Allard who was starting to worry about his nephew's emotions.

“ no, not yet. He's too impulsive, it would put him in danger” prevent Axton, he really does not want his wife hurt. Let him do everything.

“ however what if Ai refuses tomorrow?”

“ I will persuade him, and find the right reason. Don't let it fail, Ai must leave the city” said Axton steady. Actually Axton was quite daunted when Ai questioned his relationship by leaving his two previous wives, fortunately he could improve the atmosphere. Otherwise, it is likely that this problem will get more complicated.

“ it is indeed the best way Duke “ Allard chimed. Ai was like her own child, she was really trying to save her nephew. Do not let the regrets of the two back Allard felt.

The conversation was over, Axton went into the room. Finding his bed empty, his maniacs danced everywhere.

“ night wind is not good for health” said Axton while giving a knit jacket to Ai. When he finds his wife on the balcony Axton is looking for something warm to give to Ai. Ai smiled back at her husband's gentle treatment.

“ done?” ask Ai.

“ he’em” Axton replied briefly. Axton pulls Ai's hand to ask her to come in.

“ is late” said Axton when looking at the ferocity in his wife's bead. Inevitably Ai finally followed the request of the husband. Get on the bed and pull the blanket. Axton hugged her from behind, so romantic.

“ tomorrow I start duty, this time it will take a long time” said Axton slowly.

“ why suddenly?” ask Ai curiously.

“ is not suddenly like this is my routine. So instead of you being lonely tomorrow follow Baron back. Calculate holidays to the village” persuade Axton. Indeed at the residence no one can accompany Ai, so Axton asked him to return so as not to get bored. And of course launch the plan. Ai turned her body, looking at the husband's face.

“ you're not hiding something to me?” Ai is still so suspicious.

“ no, after that I will follow you there, so we can vacation with”, Axton replied calmly, not forgetting a brief kiss on the wife's forehead to make her calm.
