The Obsessive Male Lead Wants To Become My Husband - Chapter 115

Chapter 115
Cassius’s words weren’t just empty words.
Ophelia’s future in the social circle, as well as the affairs of Duke Brudenell, which required my careful attention, were all resolved by his hands.
Furthermore, even in the succession struggle for obtaining the imperial power, although I didn’t know what measures were taken, the princess had gained the upper hand and became the crown princess, leaving no need for further concerns.
In short, Cassius had created a situation where I didn’t have to lift a finger and could simply relax.
The problem was…
“I’m so bored. I think I’m going to die of boredom. Is there anything to do?”
I sighed.
Have I become excessively accustomed to the spectacle of everyday life? Initially, this peaceful atmosphere was enjoyable, but after a while, I could feel a nagging sensation in my body.
Ophelia chuckled.
“Sister, you should enjoy the peace.”
She was patting the Arfie. Although they were initially unfamiliar with each other, they quickly became close and formed an inseparable bond.
“I’m the happiest right now. My sister is by my side, I have Arfie, David is healthy… and my nephew will be born.”
“…That’s right.”
I smiled along with Ophelia.
She was right.
How could I be happier than this?
At that moment, the familiar figure of a person opened the door and entered the parlor.
“Evelyn, here you are.”
“I’m always here.”
I replied coyly.
“Because I have nowhere else to go.”
At my words, Cassius smiled and kissed my cheek.
“Please bear with it a little longer. When our child is born, we’ll go to any part of the world together.”
“….”
My face involuntarily flushed. Cassius Brudenell truly had a talent for making even ordinary words sound romantic. Or perhaps they weren’t so ordinary…
“Or should I conquer the world beneath your feet?”
“…That’s alright.”
Even though I tried to suppress my laughter, I couldn’t help but chuckle at Cassius’s incredibly serious face.
“What’s so amusing about it? It wasn’t meant as a joke.”
“It’s amusing because you’re sincere.”
I smiled softly.
“I know that with just one word from me, and you can really bring me anything.”
His gaze deepened.
“Do you have anything you want?”
“If I tell you, will you listen?”
“Of course.”
I quietly whispered a word into his ear.
“….!”
Cassius’s eyes widened, and he hesitated for a moment before opening and closing his mouth in a somewhat flustered manner.
“Evelyn, that’s…”
“Why, can’t you do it?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Shaking his head, he finished his words.
“I’ll do it.”
“Ophelia, could you take Arfie out?”
Ophelia rose from her seat, shaking her head. As the child left, it seemed like she muttered something like, “Even my sister isn’t in her right mind…” but it was probably mistaken. Well, of course.
I then smiled brightly at Cassius.
“Thank you for coming.”
Yes.
The words I whispered into his ear were simple.
‘You.’
He cupped my cheek and kissed me softly.
“Evelyn, from today onwards, I’ll never leave your side.”
I blinked my eyes.
“Still, there’s no need to do that?”
“That’s what I’d like to do.”
He uttered firmly.
“I’ve been working all this time to make it happen. Even the time to see you has been reduced…”
If it had been in the past, those words would have sent shivers down my spine. But now, they sounded nothing more than the sweet whispers of a lover to me.
“You did well.”
I started unbuttoning his shirt as a reward.
And what happened after that…
Well, maybe it’s a secret between the two of us.
The marriage of Cassius Brudenell and Evelyn Garneid became the Empire’s hottest gossip for nearly a decade. From their extraordinary love story to their marriage and the meteoric rise of the Brudenell family’s influence after Cassius inherited the dukedom.
“Andy, Erica!”
Evelyn placed her hand on her waist and called out to her eldest daughter and son.
“Mom!”
The two children ran towards her, their faces beaming with smiles.
Somehow, Evelyn thought her body was heavy during pregnancy… but to think that they were twins, a boy and a girl. At first, she was afraid if she could raise them well, but thankfully, the two children grew up to be gentle and kind, almost unbelievably so, considering they shared Cassius and my bloodline.
‘Perhaps it’s because Ophelia takes such good care of them.’
Ophelia couldn’t bear children of her own.
In the original story, despite not using any contraception, she couldn’t get pregnant for a reason. Instead, Ophelia devoted herself to raising her nieces and nephews with great love and care. As a reward, Cassius and Evelyn granted her whatever she desired.
Of course, Ophelia, being kind-hearted, desired nothing other than…
‘It was a charitable project.’
Ophelia established orphanages, schools, and distribution centers for the impoverished, helping many people in the name of the duchy.
Naturally, the praise and gratitude returned to the duchess.
Deep down, Evelyn secretly wished for Ophelia to take some personal credit, but her sister was too kind and pure for such thoughts.
“Go inside quickly, wash up, and change your clothes. Your aunt and uncle are coming today, so don’t you want to look neat and pretty?”
“I want to show aunt the picture book I made!”
“Then, I’ll show my collection of seashells!”
At those words, the two children darted into the house, full of energy and without a care in the world.
Evelyn smiled.
Today marked a special occasion as Ophelia and David, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, gathered for a meal. The busyness of both Cassius and herself had kept them from spending time with Ophelia, so they made a promise to meet and share a meal together once every month.
‘I never thought that with increased power comes increased responsibilities. Even Cassius can be quite naive at times…’
Cassius had elevated the position of the duchy to an indispensable role in the empire. In doing so, they became integral pillars leading the empire. They never had the chance to fulfill the promise Cassius made ten years ago about spending leisurely time together, just the two of them.
‘Still, I like it this way.’
Evelyn smiled quietly
‘What’s so amusing?”
“Oh, you’re here?”
Evelyn turned around and glanced up at her beloved husband. His gentle golden eyes lowered for a moment before gazing at her in a way that could make her melt.
“My wife is the most beautiful in the world, too, today.”
“…If you say such things in front of others, I’ll kill you.”
“If it’s by your hands… I don’t mind dying.”
It was a playful remark, but Evelyn understood that he was being sincere with her. However, Evelyn didn’t make any reassuring remarks like it was a joke or that such a thing would never happen.
Instead, she quietly pressed her lips against his.
“Let’s go inside. We have a lot to prepare as well.”
“It’s only David, isn’t it? He’ll take whatever you throw at him.”
“Even if it’s David, I want to give Ophelia only the best.”
“…As you wish.”
The two laughed and chatted as they walked into the mansion. Inside, the lovely children were enthusiastically showcasing their ambitious creations, while the servants were busy preparing to welcome their beloved sister and brother-in-law.
Evelyn knew that there could be no happier life than this.
…She had finally achieved her happy ending!
