Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 300 – Complete Happiness

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Now, under the laws of Estia, their marriage was formally recognized. Ishakan smiled a little at the joy in Leahs face.

“Lets go,” he said, tapping a finger on the desk.

Leah tried to reach for the cane beside the desk, but he picked her up in one arm before she could rise, and snatched up the cane with the other.

“You have a good husband,” he told her.

Normally, she didnt use her husband as a means of transportation, but Leah just wrapped her arms around his neck quietly. She knew it upset him to see her hobbling on a cane.

Today, they would go out together. As Leah had planned their outing, Ishakan had no idea where they were going.

They climbed into the carriage already waiting for them, and though it was the roomiest carriage at the palace, it still felt a little cramped with Ishakan inside. Leah tugged a black handkerchief from her pocket.

“Can you cover your eyes?”

“Why?”

“Dont you want to?”

“…its all right,” he said, covering his eyes with his hands instead of taking the handkerchief. Watching his small, amused smile, Leah fiddled with the box in her pocket, and long enough that a perceptive man might notice the noise. Then she slipped her hand from her pocket and turned away, as if nothing had happened.

The carriage pulled away from the palace, and Leah swallowed dryly as she watched the landscape rolling by the window. She was so nervous, her heart was pounding, and suddenly she worried that Ishakan might hear that, too.
