My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories

to everyone.
He could be as cold as he wanted depending on the person opposite him and depending on the situation.
That’s what I realized after knowing Theodore Valentino.

There was once a time when I tried to get even a piece of that sweetness.

How ironic that it was being given to me only at the moment when I no longer wanted it.
Even worse, it’s in the form that I did not wish for.
A dream or even daydream of a situation like this was never anything I had kept before.

The past needed to remain in place.
It could never disappear.

Only then will my feelings still remain valid.

But in this situation, there was nothing to direct them to…

“……”

“You will also need to ride on horseback for the hunt, so I was thinking that you could practice this evening together with me…”

I deliberately set down my teacup to make a loud noise.
Theodore flinched and stopped talking.
He glanced up with an anxious look in his eyes.

He seemed worried that I might break the cup again.

Somewhere in my mind, I thought that the emotions that were burning within me had to have a place where they could be directed to.

Just because I was the daughter of House Everett, the petty sense of guilt that resided within me was the one holding back those boiling emotions.

However, I knew the truth.

What exactly these emotions were, why his kindness continuously stifled me—of course, it was because of fear.

But that wasn’t all.

Emotions were fostered regardless of my will.

Indeed.
Nothing but a disaster.

“I decided to go to the hunt…”

“……”

“Just because I had the Duchy’s external image in mind.
Regardless of everything, I am still the Duchess of Valentino.”

As though he already knew what I was going to say, Theodore’s expression hardened.

I had nothing to fear.

I no longer wished for him to like me, that’s why I don’t even try to match his mood anymore.

I was still frightened at the possibility of him hurting me, but right now, I felt nothing about him other than that.

These were the emotions that began boiling up within me from the moment he lost his memories and started acting affectionately with me.

These emotions existed from the beginning, yet I’d been holding my breath this whole time—as if I was a volcano that might erupt at any given moment.

“I do not want to improve my relationship with you, Duke.”

“……”

“Until now, I feel uncomfortable whenever I face you…”

And as I saw his distorted features, a strange sense of delight surged.

t/n: i decided to do away with ‘darling’ and instead used ‘my dear’ or ‘my wife’ for Theodore whenever he calls Lily.
sorry for the confusion, hope this is less cringe lol
