The New Duchess
Chapter 50: Wine

The man walked towards the basement, where the dwelling wines were kept. His mind was in chaos and needed a tranquilizer. As for Ai, she was speechless. Thought nothing. Until a while later the worry attacked him did not remember the important items he found before. Immediately look for his bag and find out whether the item is there or not.

“ huh, it seems like it was left behind” Oozy Ai, after knowing that a small bag containing diary and important letters was not there. Very good because if carried away Ai is also confused to hide where.

“ hope there is safe” he continued hoping Masy can keep important evidence of his.

Tok

Ai turned her head towards the door, there was a gap because the door was not tightly closed. The old man that Ai knew so well was in the doorway

“ uncle? Why is it here?” Ai opened the door and told her uncle to go inside. But Allard instead walked through the room, as if inviting Ai to change places.

It turned out that Allard took him in the lounge of the 3rd floor, there was only a sofa and a table. It was in the corner of the room, close to Ai's first room.

“ new uncle arrived a few days ago, after learning that you are not in Barack”, Allard said. Ai now understood the reason why her uncle was here and Axton managed to realize her existence.

“ Ai apologize, do not mean to make uncle worry” said Ai regretted.

“ can uncle know what's your reason for going secretly like this?” uncle Al looked at Ai inside, his tone was no demanding impression. It was precisely full of tenderness that indeed meant for Ai to feel comfortable with her question.

Ai was silent, confused as to where to say from. It felt like Ai was afraid to tell this truth, there was doubt whether her uncle would support her or not. Whether his uncle is hiding this or not. I don't know how hard it is to trust someone right now.

“ tell uncle, Ai” Allard is back fishing his nephew. His hand touched Ai's hand slowly, as if giving support.

“ Ai will say everything is original, uncle is also honest to Ai” look Ai eyes full of hope staring at Allard. Tonight Ai wants everything to be clear that nothing is hidden from her anymore. Allard felt that his nephew already knew the important thing, making the old man think that now is the time to open everything. Slowly Allard nodded in response to Ai's words.

“ does uncle know the truth of the death of Axton's late wives?” Ai started asking her first question. Allard nodded slowly.

“ is that why you went secretly to the city, finding out the cause of their death?” replace Allard who asked. Ai nodded in response. Allard had guessed, her nephew was right to suspect her husband. Although it is unfortunate why Axton did not tell the truth, but Allard can only respect Axton's decision. However Axton is a calculating man, there must be a reason behind this attitude of his. Their homes cannot be interfered with by just anyone.

“ then why did uncle so want Ai to marry Axton?” this question had long since disturbed Ai's mind, now at the right time Ai wanted to hear the reason directly. Allard pulled himself into leaning. Not long exhaled a rough breath while looking towards the window.

“ uncle just want you to be safe” replied Allard who was completely incomprehensible to Ai.

“ precisely Ai even entered in danger, just waiting for the time until death came” said Ai slightly carried away by emotions. Still his uncle talked about things that are difficult to understand like this.

“ the only person who has the most chances in saving you is only Axton” Allard continued to try to explain.

“ how dangerous is life Ai uncle? Until it has to enter into this problem” Ai does not understand, she must be saved from what. All this time his life was fine. Precisely when married to Axton his life even suffered, even had suicide in the past. Axton saved his life. Ai did not accept the words of her uncle that felt difficult to prove.

Allard increasingly difficult to explain it to Ai, his nephew is still a teenager who is sometimes unstable and impulsive. She was afraid that she would act rashly if she knew the whole story. Allard did not expect that his conversation with Ai would be this deep.

“ Ai listen to uncle, the most important thing is not to doubt your husband again. He only wants to protect you. Right now it's just the best” uncle Allard intends to go with himself who is up.

“ what uncle forgot, behind the death of my father and mother there is also royal involvement” asked Ai with a cynical look to Allard.

“ and until now Axton has never been a member of the kingdom” replied Allard then passed away. His uncle's words have a point. Now the dilemma in Ai gradually began to recede. Her husband was the son of a royal, but no one knew. Axton was only a city noble with a status under the kingdom.  

On the 2nd floor Ai recalled the contents of Kyliee's diary, on this floor there is an old room, which likely belonged to Axton's late father. Ai decided to take a look, maybe there's something useful.

After passing through the hallway Ai guest rooms stop in one of the largest rooms there. It is located on the inside that is not easy to see from the outside. Ai opened the door of the room slowly. Too bad it was locked, Ai could only sigh slowly before then deciding to return.

“ let me go, no, I want to go above” yells a man's voice. Ai knows very well who the owner is, which makes Ai confused is why Axton shouted, the sound felt so close.

“ yes, we will go up. Mari” female voice made Ai further speed up her pace.

“ no, don't come here” heard again.

“ this is your room sir,,”

Finally met, Axton who brought a bottle of wine on the papah of a woman who somehow was here, Ai did not know if Grace had been living in the residence. Just sober his heart immediately hot when he saw how Grace hugged the tight belly of her husband.

“ what are you doing?!” ai's voice immediately rose, of course making a shock of 2 people who were embracing. Grace was silent, unable to explain. He wanted to put Axton in his room. A little bit will succeed even meet with Ai.

“ my wife..come home” Axton miss Grace's embrace and stagger towards Ai. Ai quickly stepped forward and held her husband's body from falling.

“ why are you here?” Ai asked again.

“ Axton who brought me here” Grace intended to make Ai misunderstand.

“ you are cheap” reply Ai no less sharp.

“ my wife, where have you been?” Axton continued to chatter, not even his mouth alone, his hand could not sit still touching Ai's body, the bottle that was originally held had been released.

“ don't say much, we go to the top” AI immediately leave Grace, she does not want to linger long against the evil woman who has trapped her.

Grace Yanga was shoved to stomp her feet into the room. Ai a little trouble climbing the stairs. Axton could not stand still, his body had already lost consciousness. Make Ai's steps heavier.

Finally, after much effort, Ai managed to throw her husband's body on the bed. Axton just laughed indistinctly, when he felt a loud shake of his body when he hit the bed. Ai helps Axton take off his shoes and belt. Then close the door.

“ my wife, come here” Axton still won't shut up.

“ stop babbling and immediately sleep” said Ai firmly, axton is very different if you are drunk, the behavior is like a child. So spoiled.

Ai got into bed after turning off some lights.

“ are you angry ?” Axton hugged him from behind. He would not be silent again.

Ai did not want to take care of her husband, immediately closed her eyes regardless of Axton who was still waiting for an answer.

“ forgive me” Ogre Axton. Ai turned her body, looking at her husband's face. Gluing softly on Axton's cheek, her husband must have been drunk because of her. Ai felt guilty.

“ sleep” shriek Ai and kiss briefly Axton's cheeks.
