Falling nobleman, Marquis Milton's daughter Ellie,
When she became the highly esteemed Duke Cran's second wife,
Everyone looked at her with jealousy and envy.... more>>

Life as the Duchess, started with anticipation.

However, the shadow of the Duke's first wife cast over the entire ducal estate,
The Duke, who couldn't forget his first love, didn't give her even a moment of his attention.

Thoroughly neglected wife. That was her current status.

One day, while enduring her lonely married life with the interest and affection of her stepdaughter Serena,
The child unexpectedly spoke to her...

[Hello, Your Grace.

I was ecstatic when you proposed three years ago.

However, as time passed, I came to realize.

I am not suitable to be the Duchess, and I am truly sorry that I have not been of any help to you.

Leaving the ducal estate with a letter and divorce papers,
Even though she thought the Duke wouldn't be bothered by her departure, he found her within just a few days.

"...Is this the only place you could run to from me?"

Faced with his unexpected actions, which had ignored her throughout their marriage, she could only be taken aback.

"Come back, Ellie."

"You are my wife."

Why do you look so hurt?
Tell me. You were the one who left me alone in our bedroom without even celebrating our wedding night, weren't you?

She really wanted to shout it out like this. <<less
