The New Duchess
Chapter 76: No


“ you better not


too often kemari” said Hardwin then took a rough breath. She didn't


I thought it would be like this.


“ I just want to meet


Duchess, there's something I want to explain to her” Grace is a little quiet, waitress


he also walked out after being given a code by Grace.


“ and you're sure he will


accept all your explanations?” just like him, Hardwin has done it


the same yet Ai really did not want to understand him. Hardwin is only


give Grace a little advice so she doesn't get her hopes up.


“ will certainly be difficult” said


Grace, Hardwin pulled the corner of his lips. He thinks Grace will be lucky


same with.


“ alright, come with me”


Hardwin led the way, instead of showing his direction, Grace was clearly more


familiar with the residence, it was just that the new room guards would allow


if Hardwin gave me permission.


Grace walked slowly


behind Hardwin, he was a little anxious and doubtful about his actions. However


she had better meet with the Duchess to apologize. Unaccepted


or not, Grace should try it.


“ let him in” says


Hardwin made Grace take a breath before entering.


The door's open, Grace


enter alone without the company of anyone.


“ night Duchess” women


there clearly was not enjoying the soft bed. Ai was still sitting dreamy


next to his room window. Hearing a voice familiar to her, the woman


look towards the voice. His gaze was unreadable, Ai just kept quiet while observing


with a woman standing not far from the entrance.


“ how are you?”


grace moved closer to Ai.


“ what do you want?” said Ai no


pleasantries. His tone was flat with no emotion, as if his heart was numb.


“ I just want


apologise for all this” said Grace softly, half-scared.


“ apologize? You


her ear.


“ all this because of me


want to save this kid” Grace keeps quibbling justifies herself.


“ sacrifice


the safety of others for the comfort of your life, do you deserve forgiveness?”


said Ai cynically. The woman was not in a good mood. Although


the millions of reasons he would hear about this incident, Ai still could not


forgive anyone that.


“ I know you don't


will forgive me, but I'm really-true.”.


“ if you know why


still here? Intention to taunt me?” Ai started to explode. The woman then


closing his eyes for a long time, to ease his emotions.


“ no Duchess, really


I didn't mean that. All of these are Hardwin's options, I've


saying all his plans” Grace doesn't want to be channeled alone, she does, too


got to tell me who Hardwin really is


that's.


“ what do you mean?”


grace's words seemed to attract the attention of Ai. hardwin who arranged everything,


he had completely lost faith in his childhood friend.


“ I'm just worried


your safety, I say everything so Hardwin can make a choice.


I was wrong to comply with Sea's wishes, but neither was my plan


putting you under house arrest, Hardwin could have said earlier and


let you go before everything happens” explained Grace at length. All


it is true, the choice to make Ai as a house arrest is the work of Hardwin


by oneself. The man preferred this path over letting Ai go


following Axton, he did not want the woman he loved would be missed even


sacrifice for another man.


“ you throw all


this mistake on Hardwin, what exactly are you planning?”


“ everything I said


it's true, I already have no plans other than to protect


my son” Grace has said everything, nothing she's covered.  All three hours atone for the guilt he had


feel for what he did to the Duchess.
